WIP: My Boys Imperial Knight.

Hi guys, I've been asked to build and paint this Imperial Knight for my son that he got for his birthday, He's seen daddy buy a couple of Renegade boxsets and asked where he's is at....tut tut bad dad, My little guy knows I'm the worlds slowest painter but is still fine with it so my own Knights will have to go on hold till I get this one out the way...that sounds really bad lol, I'm not going to drag my feet over it now and will see it as practise for my own Knight House as I've not painted one before.

The mini me project started by building the base up as I do for my Iron Warriors, Same theme Scorched Earth/Wasteland type, It's what I'll be doing for House Makabius when I get around to it....all practise you see.

I then built the model as a Paladin at my sons request stuck it to the base and primed it black, Then using two Tamiya silvers gunmetal and flat aluminum sprayed the mini at 45/65 degree angles to create a natural shading on the model.

The arms were done with the same method, Next step will be to finish the Knight skeleton with washes and powers picking out the odd detail and of course paint the base.

Not sure right now which house this Knight will belong to but my sons says he likes the look of the one on the front cover 40k Imp Knight codex so green then, We will see.

Unboxing: Imperial Knights Renegade.

Hi guys, Well then Imperial Knight miniatures from Games Workshop (Warhammer) and Forge World have been around for ages know and although I've always wanted to own and paint one there's often been it seems more important models to purchase for me.....until now.

So then on with the unboxing and I've got to say this box set is terrific value as are alot of deals GW have on in store at the moment, You essentially get a Knight and terrain piece for twenty five pounds and further reductions can be had from independent retailers so quids in.

You get all the sprues you need for two Knights to make both the Errant and Paladin one of each or two of the same it's up to you, Also a separate Warden sprue but just one of these plus you get the bases and the smallest transfer sheet known to man...not so good.

For the little extra touch you also find the Sanctum Imperialis terrain piece...why not, and all the instructions.

So then the game...will anyone be playing it or like me and see this set as a cheap way of buying Knights, Whatever your motive there is a game here I've had a slight look in the rule book (not bothered really) which isn't many pages thick missions etc so I think would be quite easy to pick up if that's your thing, You do get a couple of A4 Knight damage cards which look good and your probably better to get those laminated if your serious about the game.
