Here come the Sharks......your gonna need a bigger boat!

[BulldogUK]

The start of a commission I took on here. Chap wanted something gritty, along the lines of the sharks that we all know and love. Thankfully he is pleased and several more Knights, a couple of warhounds, a gunship and maybe more to follow!

First up here is the test piece, it's much nicer in the flesh, very sharky blue/grey but hopefully these pics give a rough idea

Holy space sharks batman, this is just amazing.

[maverike_prime]

QUICK! Find me my Bat Shark Repellent! I'll make explode by spraying it in it's mouth!

 

 

Besides that, Awesome job.

QUICK! Find me my Bat Shark Repellent! I'll make explode by spraying it in it's mouth!

 

i love Adam West as bat man, that sort of thing is so funny to watch.

 

this is wonderful! can we have a size comparison against your other titans and dreads please.

[Solid Zaku]

Smile you sonofabaneblade! Great work, though. It feels right. Most Knights I've seen just look like toy-bin kitbashes. This looks like something out of FW.

[Obliterator]

I love the weathering and the blending on the armour panels, but what I really drooled over was that vibrant orange/red of the scrap metal on the base. :woot:

[THE GHOMA]

Where did that knight titan come from? I would totally buy one if i get the chance.

 

Also great job, i'm looking forward to the upcoming projects.

[deadlift58]

that is awesome...i love me some space sharks...too bad there isnt a whole lot of background on them, def one of the under rated chapters

[LuNCHBiZZLe]

That Knight is AWESOME! makes me want to rethink starting space sharks.

[bigdaddy]

Hey, it was one of my product :D very good painting job but why choose to paint it at the color of space shark ? knight titans don't serve Space marines Chapter, they are dependant of their Forge World.

 

who is your client, I make a number for each of my knight sell (see on all differents parts so easy to know the buyer, you can answer me in private mail) it's strange to see one of my knight in UK, I don't sell my models to UK....

[BulldogUK]

In world war II the Germans used captured Shermans which they weren't supposed to have...there are no rules of War!

 

They are his toys now Bigdaddy and he can create the fluff as he wishes! Has quite a sense of humour too, I am hoping he will send me his background story so I can stick it up on the website, made me chuckle, will really get the rivetcounters spitting out their cornflakes :(

 

Regarding the client, he isn't from UK so belay your confusion :D

 

Planning on assembling everything over the coming weeks then will get stuck into the painting after Xmas, few other Knight variants looking at the parts in the bags as well as a FW Thawk, Armorcast hound and FW hound, should be fun!

[bigdaddy]

Ok, don't worry 40k background is not something immutable. Everyone sees what he wants.

 

For the commissioner is only for felicitate this guy to have choose your ability, and in England two guys have make very bad cast of my models (very very bad cast bubble and very toxic and dangerous resin ) so I'd rather be safe than sorry.

 

If you need help for construct these model I can give you some pictures or help

 

you can see on my blog for example the different knights

[BulldogUK]

Aahhh I see your concern now Bigdaddy, no worries here, they are all 100% BD originals :P

 

Thanks for the links mate, will cut down the head-scratching time no end!

[natsirtm]

This is all kinds of jawesome

[jerry]

Great job very nice shading on the Knight and the posing stance,Ive gotten three from BigDaddy this year and they ARE simply AMAZING!! Hey bigdaddy any chance for replacement parts? PM me please.

[emperorsaxe]

Love that knight titan, a great paint job on that. Would love to see this on some SM's too. Thumbs up dude.

Respects, Emperorsaxe

[BulldogUK]

Got stuck into another Knight now the Wolf job is finished so the Second Knight is done. I feel like I am getting into the jazz now with these things so decided to add a little extra eye candy, nothing major, a few cables here n there and some studdage inspired by the new FW Tyberos figure, hopefully pulls it altogether to make things look a little more 'sharky'

 

I also decided to save myself some time by taking a picture of my initial painted shark emblem and creating some water-slide transfers from it. Saves me having to paint it over and over again, it also means I can re-size it for all of the remaining vehicles and keep things more uniform looking, yay for laziness! ;)

Fred stepped into something nasty

The transfer created from my original painted emblem, a little overpainting and it's a labour saving miracle of modern technology!

The studs are simply plastic sprue cut to size and lightly sanded, inspired by the Tyberos figure I may well follow this theme through with the other knights, 'Hounds and gunship

That Thermal Lance 'they don't like it up 'em'!

"They don't like it up em" - Absolutely made me fall off my chair with laughter!

 

I've never heard anybody else use that expression except for me and a couple of very close friends!

 

Hats off to you!

[Legio Draconis]

Again fantastic. Loved the scale shot with Odin.

[The_son_of_Dorn]

awww titan has titan babies :lol:

 

as adorable as that is im sure it heresey lol

[Sons of Horus]

Nice knights :lol: it's good to see Odin still alive as well :P

[bigdaddy]

Legen ....

 

Wait for it ....

 

Really good paint and I like the base. specially for the powerlance who is a very good choice of paint scheme (I like the american shark)

especially the discution with the warlord.

 

Hummm I think I must continued to make titans when I see this perfection.

 

 

...dary !

[jerry]

Big Daddy you can do it! knock the dust off your molds "please sir can i have some more" from the movie Oliver. :D

[Slyen]

I think I'm in love...

[rusty1109]

I don't know how the whole client / painter dynamic thing works but a TITAN for a test piece!

 

Presumably the bloke paid for the model and paint job (which is fantastic of course),

 

my point is that some people have too much money!
