I decided to go back and upgrade the blue on my Knight household's core armor markings.. the original was just Prussian Blue with a heavy hit of Drakenhof.. but now that I have more nice blues, I went back and decided to use Scale75 Tesla Blue for the new main colour, with Cantabric shadows and Mediterranean highlights. I originally tried doing Tesla over the old blue, but it really does not like going over dark colours.. did a new basecoat, and then applied more Tesla, and it looks much better. The paint's a bit stubborn about coverage, but it comes out nice and rich with a few coats.

Hey all I need a good name for my renegade knight. I was thinking “death knell”.

On this episode of un-admech knights:

please tell me you didn't glue on all the armor plates.. that'll make getting at the superstructure a bitch and a half..

Nope, just the plates on the legs. All of them on the torso are just blue tacked on.

It's weird seeing it without the usual overly decorated AdMech plating, but a cool look nonetheless!

A while ago I bought an Atrapos on impulse and later added a Warden and Forgebane Armigers. I painted those candy red.
So this is the "Before" picture:


Recently, I failed a self-control check and picked up a Valiant, Armiger Helverins and a Renegade box.
Clearly, I needed a new, more distinctive paint job if I have enough models for a knight army.

This is the current WIP status. I'll do more detailing, adding oil washes and some weathering as well as trying my hand at fancy weapon bluing.



More images are in my Dakka Gallery https://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/images-76449-53165_Imperial%20Knights.html.

I like the visual impact the models make, which motivates me to carry on and finish them properly this time! =]

Here is my finished renegade

SCM, that Renegade is just gorgeous work. That's just impressive, so much work.

Stephanius - yeah, that self control check is a hard one for many of us.. we're often at least at -10 when shiny things appear.

Here's a WIP of my Castellan.. got the knee extenders finally, so here's a shot after I put the foot down. The other one's waiting for another piece, I'm making a big rock-like piece to sit under the foot. The two acrylic rods are alignment pins and socket into the torso so it's not only stable, but it doesn't turn at random.

Last of the un-Admech knights is done.


And the family together.

Interesting thing I found, Cataphractii powerfists (at least I think it was cataphractii) are perfect to use as mini-thunderstrike gauntlets for titanicus knights.



Also this is what I have been up to recently:

Made a gargant from plastic cups and random bitz, the little guys are all 3D printered.
My college has a few 3D printers and encouraged us to use them.

I plan on playing a truly epic apocalypse battle with my brother, using normal 40k rules except cm instead of inches.


Edit since this is an off topic tangent:

Normal 40k rules mostly because of familiarity really. If I can find the rules for epic I might try that as well.

I’m going to mathhammer out stats that make the gargant and warlord spend most of the game shooting each other, probably a ton of wounds (with two volcano cannons, a warlord expects to do either 3 or 4 wounds (72 or 96 damage) if the target’s less than T16 and doesn’t have any invulnerable save, so probably at least 250 wounds with a 5+++ (less swingy)) and fnp, but markedly weaker guns with more shots (orkz) but far less damage. (warlord’s guns are ridiculous, but it can’t take what it dishes out)

Spit-balling:
Gargant
200 power same as warlord

M 18”/18”/16”/12”
WS 3+/3+/4+//4+
BS 5+ Never moded
S 32/24/16/14
T 15
W 250
250/125/60/30
A 5/5/4/3
Sv 2+

Waddling scrap pile : 5+++ fnp
Mega talky box: if a warboss is embarked, the gargant gains the Waaagh! rule with a range of 36” instead of 6”

Giant stompy feet of Gork: melee / S user / AP -5 /make 4 hit rolls per attack

2x Mork’s mega-deff kannon range basically ∞ / S 18 / AP -6 / D 14 /heavy ???
2x Grot piloted rokkit hanga range basically ∞ / S 9 / AP -2 / D 3/ heavy 5D6 / this weapon always hits on a 4+

Greater Effigy: <clan> ORKS always pass moral tests whist the gargant is intact.

Nice gargant. What are you planning to use for rules? And why 40k rather than rules that are more unsuitable for rules. 40k rules break up with titans big time...

Hello fellow Sacristans.

I've started putting together a knight and I have a few questions.
1- Is there an easy way to magnetise the weapons?
2- How much work will it take to cut up and repose a leg to make it look like it's got it's foot resting on something? (Like what other people have done in this thread)

Hey everyone,

I realize I haven't posted on Dakka Dakka for quite some time, but I figured this thread would be a great time to jump back in. I recently (around the time the new Renegade box was released) started a Chaos Knight army as a companion to my Death Guard and Nurgle Daemon armies. I settled on House Makabius due to their association with the XIVth Legion. What started as a small side project has turned into something big and has since branched into Dark Mechanicum models for Kill Team and INQ28 / for the hell of it. Here's my current Knights, both finished and still WIP (I apologize for the tidal wave of images about to hit you):


Allegiance: House Makabius, HelForge Volgan (formerly Forge World M'Pandex)
Designation: Canticum Carnifici (Executioner's Song)
Pilot: Aeshma Makabius (deceased)
Attendant Daemon: Leechmaw Rusthide
True Name: Kwrhrhaethsszhhlhlon'nthl
Origin: Forge World Mezoa (Pre-Heresy)















Alliegance: House Makabius / HelForge Volgan (formerly Forge World M'Pandex)
Designation: Lignum Truci (Gallows Grim)
Pilot: Berith Makabius
Origin: Forge World M'Pandex (Zaphadak Pattern)











Alliegance: House Makabius / HelForge Volgan (formerly Forge World M'Pandex)
Designation: Tenebris Prophetiae (Dark Omen)
Pilot: Buer Apphus of Sept Apphus, Banner House of Makabius
Origin: Forge World M'Pandex










As of yet unnamed Dual-Avenger Gatling Cannon Knight, so far nicknamed 'Gnarlmaw Knight' for obvious reasons... it's finished but I haven't taken final photos yet:








Finally, my fourth Questor Knight. Another Gallant-type, very heavy Dark Mechanicum influence and less outright Nurgle corruption. Probably my favorite thus far.












Oh! Before I forget, I have two more Armiger Warglaives in the process of assembly. And since the title of this thread is 'Sacristans Unite', here's my House Makabius Sacristan:

Update.

and it seems there is a free spot .... I need someone to lead maybe...

a Porphyrion maybe? Or a knight preceptor.
