My first introduction to Warhammer was as a kid getting the massive 2nd Ed box set with the Blood Angels Vs the Orks. This is my gentle nod to that wonderful era

Life has prevented me from painting a lot but I finally got this big guy done! If you guys have any cool names for this guy lmk, haven’t decided on one (ignore the 2 unpainted back plates, I’m working on them right now lol)

House Herpetrax just got the decals and glue sand on the bass and its done 😄

House Herpetrax Almost done

I've decided to paint my Imperial Knights as different Space King legions. I've made this guy a Coagulator (hence the metric fuck ton of blood)

I've got another Helverin that I'm thinking of painting up as a Medicae. Lmk your thoughts :)

Made some markers to make bondsmen abilities easier to track.

Like all my Knights, it just... hate painting the skeleton. Love doing the armour and getting creative with colours and tape and decal patterns. The rest is finally done!

So i just learned that knights in thier first codex have a dedicated techpriest called a sacrostant. Why dont we have this yet? This model whould be epic. This is official artwork from the first knight codex

This Castellan is intended to be the centerpiece of my homebrew Knight House. Considering my novice painting experience, I thought it best to commission a professional artist. I am quite happy with her work! You can see more of what she offers on her Instagram

I'm trying to build a 2k list for knights and I am curious what enhancement you guys think is more valuable for the Castellan in Freeblade Company. On one hand teleporting the usually fairly static Castellan to a better firing lane sounds really good. But on the other hand with 11th edition making cover affect the ballistic skill instead of the armor save hitting on 4+ instead of 3+ with extremely valuable guns like the volcano lance sounds like it might hurt. What do you guys think?

Below are the enhancement rules for your reference

Mysterious Guardian

Imperial Knights model only. (Once per battle, per army) At the end of your opponent's turn, if this unit is unengaged, you can use this ability. If you do:

Place this unit in strategic reserves.

This unit has Deep Strike until the start of your next Shooting phase.

• This unit must make an ingress move in your next Movement phase (including in your first turn).

Hunter's eye

Imperial Knights model only. Ranged weapons equipped by the bearer have the [IGNORES COVER] ability.

Continuing on with The Stormlight archive themed Knights, here is an armiger warglaive painted as

Sylphrena next to my Kaladin Themed Knight Castellan

I've recently started up the hobby again after a 16 year absence, and I've decided on knights as my army of choice.

My local hobby store gave me a practice model to paint on, and I came up with this color scheme that I'd like to use on my actual knights.

Any tips and tricks for essentially a beginner? Things I did right, things I did wrong? If people think the color scheme will transfer well to full sized armigers and castellan?

And is there anything that I'd need to do differently on a full sized knight?
