hermanista Posted May 20, 2018 Author Share Posted May 20, 2018 (edited) So it looks like the book may be close. I have a backlog of knights to finish Atrapos 2 Lancers Two Questoris class and magnetised weapons to do Before the book arrives. And a newly gained concussion after losing a fight with a falling car boot door. Week off and the little un is off to nanna's because I'm not in a state to look after him. Some sporadic building and painting this week then! Edited May 20, 2018 by hermanista Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stray Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Ha ha, I love that your backlog is some peoples entire Knight Household Hermanista. :) In all seriousness though, I hope you recover from the concussion swiftly buddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hermanista Posted May 20, 2018 Author Share Posted May 20, 2018 I've got larp on Friday, so I hope so too, lol. But I'll have some painting done at least :-) Thousand Eyes and Stray 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hermanista Posted May 24, 2018 Author Share Posted May 24, 2018 So it took me until yesterday to be in a place where I could concentrate on not slashing myself open with a knife. Even then progress was slow. But I have carried on with the two Questoris knights and built a load of weapons ready for magnetising, the magnets of which will hopefully arrive today if I'm lucky. In the mean time, and as shown elsewhere, I chucked some spare parts at a spare arm connector, and came up with a Sir Hekhtor/Ravager appropriate arm. But rough and ready round the edges, and it's not glued hence the dodgy pose atm. But with some cabling etc, and finding an appropriate muzzle, that'll do.

Stray Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 I love that base! It's scratch built? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal Reinhard Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 I'm gonna the stupid spoilsport here and voice the concern that maybe the lascutter is a little too big for the GW chassis? It's hard to tell without the other arm to balance him. And i wish my bases were that cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard to tell without the other arm to balance him. And i wish my bases were that cool. How dare you question the glorious imperial joint holding that weapon in place? :) But I also sort of share your concern on that one.. The other arm might easily fix it though, maybe that's all it needs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hermanista Posted May 24, 2018 Author Share Posted May 24, 2018 (edited) Oh I agree it's completely ridiculous, it needs a support arm or similar really. Thinking about it more, I kinda want it to be a real spear if I changed it up so that there was an arm/hand on this old chap Edited May 24, 2018 by hermanista ranulf the revenant, Marshal Reinhard, Vel'Cona and 2 others 5 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hermanista Posted May 31, 2018 Author Share Posted May 31, 2018 So I've got a day to myself, the boy is with nanna today, concussion is relatively eased enough to do something. So airbrushing the big lads it is then! Hopefully some progress shots during the day, let's see if we can make the brothers grim a bit prettier.

hermanista Posted May 31, 2018 Author Share Posted May 31, 2018 I'm making do with just a cheaply one from eBay and it's doing ok. Saying that it has been a bugger this morning, but luckily persuading doesn't have to be too tidy. Infact it adds *character* for the clear coating stages. So after a quick Drs busy, they are all done on the preshading side of things. Just need to wait several hours for them to fully dry before starting the clear coats. Just gutted the 5 pots of angron red sent to me in the post never arrived, lost in Oz somewhere :-( Nevermind.

Black Knight Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 CREME EGG! Why is it not Easter anymore? Did you paint the shadows on top of the silver or the other way round? I've just gotten a compressor myself and will try more than undercoating soon. I love the normal knights but I can't not love those FW knights, especially the Lancers!

Yeah, based in leadbelcher spray. Quick highlight with a brighter silver. Spray in the shadows Bright silver over the top. All with an airbrush. When it's fully dry it'll get loads and loads of coats of angron red clear paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hermanista Posted June 13, 2018 Author Share Posted June 13, 2018 So I failed in the idea of not buying a Valiant and then when I got it, not starting it until I did some more work on the triplets. Ah well, these things happen... So obviously conversion was needed, this being the current set up. The idea being to build it as a diorama type base, so that the side of the stairs will be engulfed in flames, with a renegade Psyker suspended off the tip of the eagles beak with a bubble shield around him. Kinda like this Maybe with some lights weird into the flames too, we'll see how keen I'm feeling.
