The one they took off due to shrinkage

I love the Psycannon one. Such a heroic pose, makes me want to turn and run. I like how the Apoth is turning out, put some writing on those seals, okay.

Great job, Knightley.

**Knightley**

@Miss Dee - Hmm I can't say I follow FW closely enough to know the sponsons you mention. have you got a picture or a link?

@Ogryn - Thanks man, writing done

Update: Marine 10 done

Have a look on my Night Lords page 10 / 11

**Knightley**

Oh wow, that is some serious shrinkage right there.

Update: Realizing I had finished the squad I figured I'd take a squad shot or two

Squad 3 complete

With Rhino front on

With Rhino side on

Very nice Knightly... that's a unit to be proud of.

That it is!

It's great to see something finished, polished and coherent. You never disappoint! Nice one mate

**daxx367**

Hi looking good! Well it’s been "long time no post for me" but i have finished my White Scars successor chapter "White Knights" or "White Templars". They use Dark Angel and Grey Knight bit (3 try’s for who my inspiration was

). They will be playible with both Dark Angels and Space Marine rules. I have a custom Sammaels model almost done and a small but playable force still in the works. Just thought that I would tell you (since you are the inspiration that helped me start this project) and don’t worry with in 3 or so day (if I remember) there will be pics(with no/horrible paint jobs).
PS Hope you don’t mind me putting this here...

**Ogryn**

Oh my gosh. These look so good, so realistic. I love the group shot.

**zariart**

The group shot IS great,a very crusader look to them(good head choices)

**daxx367**

As you asked a pic of my completed bike.

And hears a link to my P&M Blog if anyone wants to look (please view this before Knightley's Blog each day so I don’t look so bad (and he looks better

))

**Casey's Law**

Amazing stuff! Exalted!!

**Knightley**

@Gits - Thank you! I am proud of them, my first squad that had all bare heads so plenty of opportunity to paint skin.

@Capitansolstice - Cheers for commenting

@Graven - Hey man, cheers I also like to see finished models and your blog is getting plenty of them as well

@Daxx - I don't mind mate I'm all for promoting other peoples blogs and if I ever get to 50 pages I'll do a post with shout out links to all the blogs which have inspired me or I like looking at.

@Ogryn - Thanks mate your continued support is appreciated!

@Zari - Thanks man

@LSC L - Hope you don't mind me shortening your login name typing it all out without making a mistake. Thanks for commenting and for the exalt!

Update: I apologise for the long delays getting closer to Christmas there have been more and more Barbeques gatherings to go to, on top of that I've been playing BF:3 quite a bit as well.
However.... The Justicar for Strike Squad 2 is done

Side (hammer shot)

**Capitansolstice**

nice hammer!

**daxx367**

Looks great the hammer is amazing!

**inmygravenimage**

I feel like the rest of that scrollwork should say "Ours is the _"! Also, BBQs at Xmas? Bloody antipodians.

**Ogryn**

Any time, Knightley. Now, this Justicar is what a Justicar should look like. Standing in a fearsome pose, Thunder Hammer raised, covered in Purity seals. Makes Daemons cry in fear. And he looks even better with a great paintjob! Nicely done, as usual Knightley.

**daxx367**

He looks like he's getting ready to take the head of a greater demon with that hammer.

**lipsdapips**

wwwwwwwwwwwowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
blows mine way out of the sky

Fantastic as always, Knightley! Well done!

**Matt.Kingsley**

Knightly, you have some great Grey Knights.
But I have to ask, how do you paint lightning?

**whalemusic360**

Looks great like usual! What are you playing bf3 on btw?

**GreyDeathOne**

Knightley your squad is looking amazing as usual and love how you intergrated the DA robes into your army

I gotta borrow that from you since I have alot of DA bits still left over. Keep up the great work!

**Knightley**

@Capitansolstice - Thanks

@Daxx - Thank you

@Graven - Haha, the micron pen couldn't handle all that awesome so had to go with one word statements, Also why not have a BBQ at Christmas, makes all the sense in the world to me

@LDP - It's only a little bit better because I've had longer painting than you have, why don't we compare models from the same time frame of painting, I have a feeling you'll be destroying me with skill

@Matt.Kingsley - Thanks! The lightning tutorial is from here http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/630/349329.page but instead of green I used blue

@WM360 - Cheers man, I'm on PC for playing BF3, are you playing as well?

@GDO - Cheers man, if you do borrow you have to show me what you came up with (so I might be able to steal ideas back off of you)

Update: realizing I have actually finished the Strike squad, heres the pics.

**Matt.Kingsley**

Thanks Knightly!

**lipsdapips**

Wow! You get so much good quality work done in such a short time frame, that's what I like about your blog, consistantly fast beautiful eye candy

keep it up,
LDP

**Ogryn**

Great job, Knightley! I would love to see these guys against Daemons..

**whalemusic360**

Yeah, but on Xbox like a normal person, lol.

**Ogryn**

Just wanted to wish you a Merry christmas Knightley! I'll be gone for a few days, so have a good time painting.

**Knightley**

@Matt.Kingsley - No worries, if you have any other requests let me know and I'll see what I can do to help out.

@LDP - I wouldn't say its a short time frame, just more consistent.

@Ogryn - Cheers and Merry Christmas to you as well

@WM360 - Gah, you console players eh, still its a great game.

Update: I've been at my parents place for Christmas and I'm heading away for new years, so apologies for no painting/pictures but there will be new stuff in the new year. Christmas was very kind to me, I got a Baneblade and another squad of PAGK's and about $250 to spend on models.

Till the new year!
