BrookM - That is a gorgeous paint job. Any chance of pix from the front?

Nope, that's the only part that's painted as of yet.

Well it looks nice! I've got a similar paint scheme on my Armiger Warglaive. Still needs shading/highlighting and then whatever symbols I can do.

Nice and clean contrast there.

I use Celestra grey myself for my Freeblades, with Agrax earthshade for rivet picking and panel lines, this is the test piece I made to try the overall pattern:

Thanks for sharing! Nicely done! I haven't decided how to do the rivets yet, though may do them in gold, then Seraphim Sepia washes on all the gold should give them some depth.

I did pick the rivets on my Raven Knights, but for this one, I'd rather use a wash than cramp my hand trying to pick out every rivet with leadbelcher.

Re: gold washing, I prefer flesh wash myself for a warmer feel, though as always, YMMV.

Has anyone here got a copy of the new imperial knights: Renegade box yet?
I want to know if there were any rules additions or changes to the game - i heard that the plot of the game has progressed, but that was it...

Little help please?

Thanks, perhaps I'll try that one and see how the two compare! This is my initial color scheme test, so a good time to figure it out before I start doing bigger Knights!

I am thinking about how to make a dual kit Valiant. I can't stand the idea of being stuck with 1 knight configuration on a 170$ kit.

For the plasma cannon I am thinking that the barrel on the redmptor dreadnaught plasma incinerator should be comparable to the barrel on the castellon's plasma gun.

For the volcano lance, I think some spare baneblade bits should do.

Do you guys have any other ideas?

The six missions are new, or at least, they use a single piece of terrain instead of two previously, but other than that at first glance everything looks about the same. I'll put the rules side by side when I get the chance.

Fluff-wise, the House Terryn noble has lost the previous duel and a House Taranis Knight is now tasked with hunting the renegade down, its quest taking it to a fallen Knight world.

Absolutely amazing....

I'm ALL in, now when does my Ork Gorkanaught show up and get himself a new Knight arm?

Finally done.

Got the Renegade box and a Valiant. Been busy over the past couple days building all three knights and magnetizing all the weapon options. On the home stretch now, just one more knight to build and I can actually play with them... Then the priming begins!

Knights can feel like a bit of a slog. But Iis IMO about the same time and effort that would go into non IK units of the same cost(in points or money).

Wait, why Duncan's Lancer has a battle cannon? Something changed when I wasn't looking?

You have to admit, it takes quite a bit of gall to post an article that features products (the Griffith transfers) that are not available to consumers.

Ah, that explains why my glance at existing armiger and knight transfers (since that dragon would be perfect for my next project) turned up nothing

Warhammer FB page confirmed that Duncan goes for 'rule of cool', so some of his Knights may not have correct/legal loadouts.

Not really a pain, but for some reason i am having slow going building the castellan chassis. Got one done, the second is now at the stage of finishing the legs. Need to wait on some magnets before finishing off either though.

Once you get in a groove, or a proper feel of the kit you'll breeze through it. I'm at the stage where I feel somewhat confident about chopping up a leg or two in an attempt to get a different pose from the rest of the horde. Though having a free spare courtesy of the Renegade boxed set did help!



It's not stumbling, it is charging towards you. If I were a better modeller I'd make it more convincing like some of the conversions other Dakkanauts have pulled off.

I've also discovered that the Dominus class kits fit rather flushly with the Sector Mechanicus terrain, for people looking to build dioramas or want to create that perfect docking scene this should be a nice coincidence, it'll certainly make my future hangar bay build easier, thanks Ray!

Technically, for that, you want vector art, not bitmap, so photoshop is pretty bad tool for this.

But yeah, I could do image like this easily, but I don't think there is any place within 500 km of me that would print a transfer, so easier said than done for me too...

Testors makes transfer paper that you can print yourself, but I haven’t quite figured it out yet to keep it from smearing (I think you have to let the ink dry for 24 hours before using).

A tip I got from a friend who has made transfers is that once you have printed it - let the ink dry ~24 hrs, then spray the sheet with gloss varnish, let dry 24 hrs,repeat 2x times. Then you won't have to worry about the ink running when you put them on your model.

It's kinda funny how similar my armigers were before I added the color plating.

You could very carefully cut the front right toe at the base and bend it up like it's still got veeeery partial footing. Just an easy solution that shouldn't take too much effort. Otherwise bending a leg at the knee does wonders, but that's a bit harder.

It's a terrible, multi-layered pun, but clearly that Knight is the Light Fantastic and opponents should tremble in terror as it performs it's deadly dance.

Also, thanks for the painting tips guys! Mine will likely turn out no where near as nice as some of the ones shown here, but hopefully I'll get them done up enough to field.

Niiiiiiiiice! Much swag sir.

Can anyone point me in the right direction to magnetize the weapon load outs?
