Imperial Knights complete

Finally finished the weathering and applying the decals to my knights I finished half a year ago. Very pleased with how they turned out, especially the heraldry that has been blank for so long.

This is Knight Paladin Couringard. I put the name on the chest plate, as I figured there is enough "House Hawkshroud" on the model, and not enough places to name the machine. So far its biggest achievement has been killing a few squads of Salamanders, a dreadnought and Vulkan Hestan in one game.

This is Knight Errant Beowulf. At this stage, its biggest achievement has been killing a wave serpent with Farseer and Fire Dragons in it, killing a unit of Sweeping Hawks, and also the Fire Dragons later on in the same game. Not too shabby.

I still have one more Knight to make and paint, which is a Knight Warden. Will take a while to get it to this stage, but at least these two are completely done.

Thanks for looking.

Cheers!

Last post of the year! Another House Hawkshroud Knight

Well I did it. Finished the last Knight model I have before the end of 2015. I made it a Knight Errant as I thought that would be very helpful when dealing with marines and armour. That and it was a different type, so it felt right to do it a little different. Being as this is my second Knight, I found it easier to paint, and was able to apply some more details to it, which is nice.

Anyways, here is my final painted model for 2015!

And finally a group shot of my Imperial Knights army. I can now make around 750pts, though I still need one more Knight to have a legal army of just Knights. I have ordered my last Knight, which will bump my force up to 1200pts, or failing that, can ally with my Imperial Fists for some action for the time being.

Thanks for looking!

Cheers!

Start of a new army....Imperial Knights: House Hawkshroud

Thought I would post some thoughts on the new army I am building up. Imperial Knights.

When I first thought about it, I was rather adamant that I wouldn't paint any more yellow. I have Imperial Fists, so that's enough, so I thought I would go with Terryn. After looking at some information about Knights, I found that House Terryn is mainly based near the Ultramarines in the East. I know I could work around it, but again, I came back to yellow. I suppose the catalyst was how cool it would look, and that I can fit them in very easily into my Fists army, and it would look in place.

So I bought a Knight and painted it up. You can see the first battle I had with it here.

I also did something with this model that I haven't done since my old Blood Angels army in 4th Ed. I used transfers! I originally hated transfers, as they never fit properly on marine shoulder pads. This is before the Micro Sol and Micro Set that has since been recommended to me. But I though I would give it a go on the one, as the plates are rather large, and I am not confident to freehand all that.

Anyways here is my first Imperial Knight. Let me know what you think.

You may have noticed two things. I haven't painted up its tabbard yet, and it is still missing its personal heraldry. Well as for the personal heraldry, there was nothing on the Imperial Knight Transfer sheet, but I have found an answer here at Bolter and Chainsword. Someone has made transfers (the Black wreath in particular), which is what I need for the personal heraldry. I can then add in my intended Imperial Fists symbol to tie it in to their allies. I have also found a place that sell the decal paper, so all I have to do is download the decals, print it on special paper, and then use them! Sounds simple to use!

I am currently in the midst of painting my second Knight, a Knight Errant, so will see if I can get that done over the weekend.

Thanks for looking!
