One of the kits in particular seemed as though it would work well, and after a fair bit of cutting, carving, pinning and not a little swearing, a Knight Lancer marched off the build deck. Tried to go with an "en garde" stance, as though it's fending off a blow on the shield and winding up for a stab with the lance. From a fluff perspective I'm going to be painting it up in House Vyronii colors, a household with an historical affiliation with the Dark Angels, and having a paint scheme that I think will look nice alongside the predominantly black and red of the heresy-era Dark Angels livery!
Sweet. Nice pose
ReplyDeleteThanks! I considered a super-dynamic running pose, but I do have to transport it later in the year which would mean a precarious pose could result in breakage. No good!
DeleteAnother Knight! Awesome!
ReplyDeleteHah! Indeed, knights are like herpes, you get a flare-up every eight to twelve months. :D
Delete"...the stack of Knights that have been gathering dust for the last several years..."
ReplyDeletelol, sounds like you need a 12 step program or something...
Oh, there's no doubt about that! Haha!
DeleteOrdinary people have a stack of old starter kit space marines that have been gathering dust. I wonder if Forgeworld would go out of business if you suddenly decided to get into Malifaux or X-Wing.
ReplyDeleteHaha! Could be... Could be... ;)
DeleteOnly you would have shit like this "just hanging around" their hobby cupboard...
ReplyDelete(It's going to look so cool)
It will be interesting to see how the pose works out. I think I can see what you are going for but it doesn't look there yet.
ReplyDeleteVery cool model, do you know if House Vyronii still exists un the 41st millenium?
ReplyDeleteAn elegant weapon for a more sophisticated age.
