Ahoy brothers! I just finished my first super heavy and definitely the largest model to date. I knew i wanted to add a LoW to my World Eaters force and was back and forth between a big tank, like the glaive, and a knight. I love walkers and something about a giant mech with a freakin lance just screamed 12th legion to me, so I went with a knight lancer. You can check out my full 12th legion project log via the link in my sig if you want to see the rest of the army.

Pretty happy with how she turned out. So much fun to build and paint, i kind of what do buy a couple more now!

Here is Celerem Venator, Knight Lancer of the 12th Legion, piloted by Talos Tal The "Night Spear"

Detail Shots
I really liked how the red power conduits contrast with the rest of the model. I think the view from the back is my favorite angle. The mechanicum cog is done in legion colors to show his adaption by the world eaters.

This was my first attempt at anything close to freehand. I painted over the legion decal as a sort of callback to the mechanicum symbol with this inverted colors.

Some detail on the ion gauntlet. I did this a super lazy way with drybrushing but it actually turned out pretty nice.

Some detail on the carapace. I may add a few decals later but for now i'm happy with the clean white.

Wow, what an absolutely wonderful Lancer.

 

One of my favourite ones that I've seen! Stunning fit for the army too :-D

 

Thanks!  I went back and forth at the start as to whether or not to do him in legion colors or in some sort of contrasting/complimentary color scheme to the rest of the army.  I'm glad i went legion colors.

The colors do work really good together. Great piece for your legion.

The white is exellent. Like the rest of your army.

 

Thank you very much!  After a year of doing these guys i've pretty much nailed down the white technique, lol.

I'm always torn on using straight legion colours for knights, but you've made it exemplar!

 

So cool!

 

Thank you!
