Time to go big or go extinct... Can you guess what I got today??

Spoiler:

**Theophony**

Great, another person with a Dreamforge Leviathan

.........oh wait, you probably bought a knight titan from GW. Either way it will look great, especially if you do it in your stormcast color scheme.

**angelofvengeance**

Heh. Not a Dreamforge Leviathan- don't like that model. One of these bad boys possibly painted in the colours of House Stark from ASOIAF

**Januine**

Nice one AoV. So much fun to build - so so many bits!!!! Just and finally started to put some paint down on mine

**angelofvengeance**

How's that going for you, Jan? Looking at the painting videos I'm thinking this might take me a while lol.

**Januine**

It's going grand. I magnetised the crap out of it when I built it a few months ago but only getting around to painting him the now. Do yourself a big favour though and pick up a can of leadbelcher spray. It'll save your sanity. So much metal needs painting and so many little nooks and crannies to get at. Base spray it with the GW leadbelcher will save you a hell of a lot of time. I've just got the main body's metalsdone this today. took me the best part of the whole day. Just need to add the grime and filth now and can move onto the armour. Results are over on my admech plog

Oh don't worry I got plenty for my Necrons and Stormcast Eternals! They drink that stuff!

That Knight Warden looks like such a nice a kit, are you planning on doing any conversion work to it?

Not sure yet. Not even sure what loadout to set him up with. Suggestions anyone?

**Januine**

Magnets. lots of magnets - then you can change his loadouts whnever you want

**angelofvengeance**

Small update today- started assembling the Knight and my brother converted up a nice Beast Lord for AoS Beastmen using the Wrathmonger kit. and a Bestigor head.What do we think?

**Thraxas Of Turai**

Have been trying to comment on this blog all weekend but this page kept on crashing on my smartphone, most annoying!

Always love to see a Knight. Will be interested to see your weapon choice. Maybe he could have a crushed Mars Attacks martian under is foot too.

Great conversion work by your brother too, excellent Beast Lord.

**hk1x1**

I like the winged Daemon Prince at the back there, and are those metal wings from the old Bloodthirster model?

As for the Knight, I agree with Januine. Magnet's magnets everywhere

.

**Paradigm**

I'd definitely magnetise the Knight if you can, this new version of the kit comes with so many options that you're basically short-changing yourself if you don't make use of as many as you can!

Your brother's conversions are splendid!

They are- pinned and green stuff'd for good measure. We all know how much of a pain gluing metal to plastic is lol. You might notice a familiar Ork's power klaw on him too lol. I'd like to think the daemon prince lost his arm in combat as a mortal fighting an Ork war boss and took its power klaw after killing it.

**angelofvengeance**

Knight pretty much assembled. Just have to put the nipple stubber on and shield (the latter came off- ffs) The armour plating is all dry fitted with exception to the Gatling cannon thing. Puny cultist there for scale and for funsies- I'm imagining the Knight has just burst through a wall and is stomping after him lol. No such thing as overkill where heretics and traitors are concerned... Can't be arsed with magnetising so I'm just going to try and get my mitts on an Knight's arm section so I can turn him into a Knight Errant if I choose.

**angelofvengeance**

A little progress today: Knight skeleton sprayed with Leadbelcher (thank you GW for making this!)

**Thraxas Of Turai**

Any particular Household that you are going for, or is it a personal colour scheme?

**angelofvengeance**

Going for a House Stark (I'm an ASOIAF fan obvy) look. The Direwolf for the House sigil (using Space Wolf transfers

) Colours will be bone white and green. Should fit nicely with my Dark Angels I think.

**Januine**

Sweet. That leadbelcher spray - oh how much painintheass basecoating time does that save eh?!!!! It does come out very bright and shiney though compared to the leadbelcher out of the pot. I had to use 2-3 coats of nuln oil to tone it down. One problem I did notice with it was that sucessive paint on top of it sometimes doesnt adhere.

Great idea for a colour scheme though - House Stark. Will look awesome in the midst of a DA force. Got to it AOV!!!

Cheers Azazel. However, I hate to disappoint you but this guy-

is actually the standard bearer for the Stormcasts.

The Lord Relictor is the equivalent of a cleric/chaplain in AoS.

Oh, I meant the Khorne guys as conversions - particularly the champion with the Bloodletter head. I've got some AoS starter box stuff here (not that I've done anything with it). Cool to see that Knight Time has arrived here as well...

**evildrcheese**

You say you're painting your Knight in House Stark colours?

*Grabs popcorn*

D

**angelofvengeance**

Coming along slowly due to life, here's a WIP shot of my Knight all shaded up with 2 coats of Nuln Oil. You should be able to see the pot of it in the background. 1st coat didn't really take that well due to the leadbelcher spray as Januine mentioned. Next, will be the Agrax Earthshade on the various moving parts. So arm joints and the hydraulic rams on the legs etc. to show they've seen some maintenance. Probably need 2 coats for that as I imagine they'd need a fair bit to prevent any ceasing up on the battlefield.

Thanks for dropping by.

**angelofvengeance**

Looty loot loot

Dungeon Saga stuff received! Sadly no time to play with it just now as I'm busy relocating. Tokens and what have you are all in the box still as I've not popped them out. What's funny is that I emailed them this morning to ask when I might receive my pledge, only to come back from work to find it waiting for me! Say what you will about Mantic, but they're getting pretty damn good at the Kickstarter fulfilment (granted there's a few exceptions obviously!)

**Warboss_Waaazag**

LOOT! I love when boxes full of stuff come to me.

**GrimDork**

Oooh nice, wee bit jealous but thanks for sharing photos all the same

Nice Knight too.

**Thraxas Of Turai**

Nice delivery to come home to. On top of the 26 miniatures in the retail boxed set how many miniatures have you now added to the pile? And did you opt for any of the resin figures?

Hope once you have relocated we will see more progress on the Knight.

Yeah. Got the legendary ones for the archer,wizard,barbarian and dwarf. Got the Orc, Abyssals, and Tyrant expansions plus one of the undead boosters and the Orc booster. So..lots.Speaking of which, there's been a bit of grumbling by folks on the mantic threads about the dragon, but I personallly like him. He's got a bit of a Flight of Dragons vibe that I quite like. (Google it if you aren't familiar)

**Azazelx**

Kiera is coming along nicely there. Hopefully one day I'll be able to work on some centrepiece projects like you guys .../sniff
