Gabriel Lupus' Knights of Taranis

[Gabriel Lupus]

Greetings IGMBers

It's been a while since I last made a thread, and other than a post in Troopers Knights thread, it's been a long time since I posted at all... but I'm still around, be sure of that. Hopefully there's still a few of the old gang around, but hi to any newer members too.

So, on to the purpose of this thread - I agreed to post some pictures of my new Imperial Knight(s), and I'll post more pictures of forthcoming knights in my household.

First off, here is "Cedric Tonitrua, the Wyrmslayer":

Stunning work sire

[Trooper One-Nine-Seven-Four]

I've bookmarked this thread and am definitely looking forward to seeing your forthcoming Knights. Are you going to do any Freeblades, or will all of your Knights be House Taranis?

[emptyhat]

Niiiice. Blue and white seems to be pretty in on this board.

[cheminhaler]

Welcome back, Lupus. That's a fine new Knight. Will it be part of a full knight army or just an ally to your other imperial armies?

[Major Downer]

Welcome Home Lupus

I have missed you're work sir,that base is superb! I really like the stone effect on it.

Looks great but I want to see more pics from different angles!

[Gabriel Lupus]

Sorry, yeah - I meant to include more pictures, but I was uploading them via my phoned and it was extremely awkward. So I stopped.

But now I have the laptop again, so - pictures:

I'll be getting a full detachment of 3 Knights - all of which will be painted in the (old) cobalt blue colour scheme of House Taranis (granted House Taranis are now red, but that's ok...

As for the basing, it's really quite simple - Astrogranite texture paint from GW, drybrushed with Longbeared Grey, and with a light shading of Agrax Earthshade over the top to give it that dirty grimy war torn city look. I've also added a couple of resin pieces from the Warhammer 40,000 basing kit.
