Comments: “A band of Legendary Freeblades that were formed under Malcador the Sigilite in the same manner as the Knights-Errant; These questing blades seek other freeblades in an effort to unite them under the banner of the Emperor or slay those who have turned to Horus. Their names lost to time, only legends of their knight armors striking out in the defense of mankind linger in the far reaches of the galaxy where hope has no home.”

Knights are my favorite part of Warhammer lore and their kits are fun to paint and customize. As shown with my Crusader and plastic Cerastus conversion. I'll be adding more Armigers and a Castellan upon their individual release.

Acheron WIP

It's nearly done

Plastic Cerastus Knight Acheron Conversion

I wasn't happy with how the Lancers Lance was looking. So I made a flame cannon just to see how it would look. Much better in my opinion, so Acheron it is now.

Knight WIP

Marble is hard.

Plastic Cerastus Lancer Conversion

Well I decided to push my conversion skills after I decided I would never actually use a Gallant. So here's my attempts at a plastic Knight Lancer.

 Lengthening the legs and lance parts

Post filling on the legs, but pre filing/evening out

Post filing, filling, and evening.. I'll do another pass on them to get the shape better. The green rod I'll be using for my my piston lengths.

In lieu of a normal shield I decided to go with a buckler. The Renegade box comes with some building bits that, namely the big Aquila door, I'm tempted to convert into a tower shield.

Knight Atrapos WIPs

As I was working on my Atrapos and though of an origin story. A house that got decimated fighting  on a long lost forgeworld. They arrived at it and woke up it's automated defenses. The campaign to claim it went horribly as the defenses were arcane and extremely effective and included drone Magaera and Stryx knights. The Seneschal survives and seeks shelter in an underground manufactorum where a partially assembled Atrapos waited. Getting it running he discovers the planets defenses are slaved through the Atrapos' animus and through bonding with it claims the world for himself. With an army of drone knights he flings himself into the stars to claim as much as he can.

My own take on the Nemean Reaver Knights-Errant WIP

Some more Knight WIPs

Knight Atrapos arrived today. My first Cerastus. It's going together a lot easier than I thought it would. Zero warping, which is impressive, but some minor bubbles and misalignment. Over-all a great cast. It's so fun to put together.

Meanwhile Dawnspear(the blue one) is done save for some iconography; which I have no idea what I'm going to do. The Mask seems too low but it's just a trick of the angle.

My first Knight Terminus was done last year but felt like including him.

Dawnspear Almost finished

Dawnspear: The Plasma Obliterator Knight Crusader

WIP

I happened across a Plasma Obliterator in my LFGS. With the knight rumors, at the time, I thought to myself: I should mount that on a dakka knight.
