Here's the WIP shots


First up is a full shot


Here's a close up of the carapace


Close up of the leg


Close up of the melta



I've since added more details and am trying to figure out what to do for the base]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583063/6600018.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583063/6600018.page GMT Imperial Knight WIP
Normally the right arm is the ranged weapon and the left is the chainsword. It looks pretty decent with an arm swap the way you've done it though. Nice painting also so far. I'm digging the battle damage.

Keep us apprized on the progress! Looking forward to seeing it based and finished.

Interesting, you swapped the arms around?


Yeah, figured since they're will be several of these, I'd do an arm swap... I also think it kinda looks cool since the 'shield' on the ranged weapon has the cut out to look through on that side]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583063/6600157.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583063/6600157.page GMT Imperial Knight WIP http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583063/6600162.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583063/6600162.page GMT Re:Imperial Knight WIP Apoc only?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583063/6600227.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583063/6600227.page GMT Imperial Knight WIP http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583063/6600874.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583063/6600874.page GMT Imperial Knight WIP

Very nice, and the weathering on the carapace is excellent - how did you achieve the mottled, oxidised white/aluminium effect, is it sponged on?


Painted sections with bolt gun metal, p3 battlefield brown. I then sponged on some liquid mask. Once that dried I primed it white. Before it was fully cured, primer was still a bit tacky I took a stippling brush and brushed the masking off, which smeared some of the primer around it. Then I took some nuln oil and watered it down. I brushed it on sections and then used a piece of paper towel and dabbed it. Then would move on to the next section until it was all done. I then took some P3 bootstrap leather and sponged that on around the weathered areas.

Nick, as to the red knees, the paint job is based on the Retribution Incarnate from WD 5... I kinda see your point, once I'm done designing my decals and print them out, it should help.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583063/6600925.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583063/6600925.page GMT Re:Imperial Knight WIP

Holy... Damn imperial knights are WAY bigger than I thought. And these arent even Apoc only?


They stand 8" high - shorter than a Wraithknight, taller than a Riptide. Not exactly Titan sized, but taller than a Lord of Skulls...



Made that based on comparisons here, so don't take it as gospel but I think it's pretty accurate.

The base isn't done, I'm thinking of adding some sort of road block, and maybe a poor Ork Mek on his knees



Couldn't resist an action shot

Nice job! What kind of gold colour did you used for the termal and exausts ?


It's a base of P3 Bloodstone, then painted P3 Solid Gold.
Once dry I add a heavy coat of GW's Agrax Earthshade and finish it up with a dry brush of black

I was thinking of just adding some script or text of some sort. Since this is supposed to be a Freeblade and they cast aside the heraldry of their former houses.

Retribution Incarnate has the text Death or Glory on his... but since I've changed some stuff I might just put an other saying.

Still debating wether or not to but the banner between it's legs... and still have some decals I want to add to him.

Hopefully more pics tonight.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583063/6602401.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583063/6602401.page GMT Imperial Knight WIP

Thanks for that - more things to buy...

Great effect though and the Knight is really looking quite good indeed.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583063/6603389.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583063/6603389.page GMT
