Looks pretty awesome Damo! Looks like hes been around the block a few times, nicely weathered. Only criticism is the AM logo above his head. The inner skull on it should be flipped (but the ring the same).

Great job, NF.
Love the dark metal.

I know what it's like trying to get a photo of that kind of effect. Good job and I can "see" what it would look like IRL.

I feel like the shield could do with something on it though. Otherwise, spot on.

Awesome.. Only one suggestion.. Put a device on the shield.

It's a very nice Imperial Knight mate, but I feel mislead and cheated by the thread title. But then I shouldn't have expected Dakka to relax its policy on hardcore pornography.

Oh, yeah, that too... Lazy Damo

That is an absolutely amazing Knight model! I love it. The texture you got on the armor plates is amazing, did you get it with brush strokes?

Also, where did you get that praying figure for the base? What line is he from???

I now have 165 pages of what I am sure will be very promising and inspiring models to look through!

Kiera is looking stunning Damo. I'm sure she's going to have lots of servitors chasing after her, well she is a big lass.

That looks soo nice, I can see what you where after. Biggest problem is getting the camera to see it. But you pics are always awesome.

Beautiful work as always.

Holy Hell, Damo! That knight is awesome. Love the metals and the weathering. The black back drop was a great call.

Beautiful work. The red aside, it's the crisp rivets, the brutally believable.weathering, soot stains, edge highlighting on the filigree - all the little details, basically - that just knock.my socks off.

My god dude, you never fail to amaze to do you?! That red is so luscious... I think I have pigment envy!

Happy birthday you old fart. Hopefully it's full of panting and not work at all.

Really love how the metal turned out all burnished and bronzed. Great work all round, however I do agree that you need something on the shield

Thanks guys so many replies apart from the priming it was all done with brushes too! and I was going to add something to the shield but I wanted to add some small cogs from watches etc but I didn't have any on hand, maybe when I get some I'll do it but if that's the only bad point then i've done well!

I gotta say, when I do something like this I always feel I need to do everything like it standing over my formidable (although yet to win) FleshEaters Kiera looks the boss!

So now that's one big ass model done and dusted i've got some WhaleModels360 to paint! might get myself primed and ready next week for them!

Oh and the praying robed dude is from Anvil Industries

I Love the way where you have not added the armour on the head

Love the rapping

Knight is pretty badass as well

I would advise not priming yourself Dragon Red, might look a bit odd....

Hope you're happy... you made me pull an all nighter to get the Twins finished off!


MAN does that look amazing!!! I am absolutely floored by that red... Looks like Ill have to plan a trip to Tazzy to see it in person (Ill even steal back one of WMs Knights ) The candy effect looks like it worked wonderfully, and it really plays well with the dark metals. Truly a venerated warmachine!

All in all, Im super stoked to see how this all turned out. We got such wildly different end products that its astounding! Glad we pushed each other to the very end... Definitely something we gotta do again!!



Oh, and the rap was ace, I should add. Alas that I am not such a lyrical wordsmith, and cannot rap a rebuttal... I think you might have won that battle anyways with that last line!!! xD

Very nice work on that Knight, Damo. Very bloody impressive!

I've been out of the hobby for a long time now and all I can say is I love your work. I can up easily read this thread and know you will never disappoint. I just went through the last four months.... Just beautifull. Your faces are astounding, I love the Primarch and whatever that last thingy was. You almost get me to want to paint again... almost. I think I need more inspiration for that lol.

Keep inspiring

sorry to be late mate, but the knight looks awesome.

LOVE the red technique but what i thought was really awesome were the lenses and the gun barrel. both so realistic!

outstanding as always.

Beautiful work on the knight Damo. The way you've handled the metals is extraordinary and your mastery of red comes shining through. The eyes are nothing less than haunting and the emotionally overwhelmed Adeptis Mechanicus Priest is a perfect accent. (Reminds me of the titan clip from the old Epic video game).

Thank you gentlemen I hold praise from you in high esteem! I was pretty nervy about painting Kiera tbh! I've always liked the idea of painting these centerpiece models but always choked when I started anything, this time i've now given myself confidence to pretty much tackle whatever I want now :-) bring on summer and my ZM board! and Whaleys Primarchs...

Greetings from the madness that is the Nerd Lair!

SO, what's been happening? well I got 3 hours in today and was really in the groove for work and I managed to get quite a way into base coating/washing three more Primarch models for WM! Lorgar,Horus and Morty have seen some decent brush love today

as usual I primed and then over sprayed them with white so I can see my shadows etc. this is good for me when I wash them with the washes that will determine the colours and shades I'll work with. today I washed all the parts I needed to and started Morty's armour and Horus' marble base!

so lets see where i'm at!

Tre Brothers


lets start with Horus.....





Next on the belt is Lorgar, a really nice model with a real sense of power which is suprising due the pose but when you see it in front of you.....



finally rounding out the trifecta is Mortarion, love this model I can really enjoy getting lost in the feel of his Legion and how to give him worn yet powerful armour!





and to leave you with a GW-esque parting shot


SO, whats th thoughts of my fellow Nerds?

They are looking fantastic so far Nerdy, really like how you did Morty's armour. That's a very nice green you have going on there.

Looking great so far, gotta agree with GiraffeX Mortarion's armour look amazing.

Looks like an amazing start.

fAntastic work

DId I mention I hate you ???

Obviously this may change, but which is your favorite Primarch model? You've got you hands on all 6 that have come out.
