I'm not sure how it's going to turn out. Sometimes when I start painting something I know right away - "oh yeah, this is going to be awesome!" (like with the Warhound Titan!). Other times is more ' "I don't know about this..." and sometimes when it's done it turns out... others not so much. I'm feeling the "I don't know about this" with this first Knight... Which is worrisome because if it does turn out to be crap, repainting it is going to suck... <br /><br />Still haven't decided which weapons to use on them... timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09928949644765765070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-29198820320039198392018-06-12T09:23:19.210-07:002018-06-12T09:23:19.210-07:00Lozenge camouflage on the carapace would look pret...Lozenge camouflage on the carapace would look pretty amazing, and there are some examples that used hexagons instead, which would be more "high tech" looking (and you could get masks to help paint that!) High tech would go well with the mechanicus sort of head and shoulders, and you could paint the rest of the model mostly metallic. <br /><br />If you go that way with #1, #2 could be über gothic instead with banners and skulls, black base paint, hazard striping, heraldry, and purity seals. That sort of dichotomy suggests that the "tech" one have guns, and that the "gothic" one has the close combat weapons and missile launcher.

I guess I have guard that can operate in any environment - but now I'll have guard that can operate COMFORTABLY in any environment. Well... other than vacuum... <br /><br />The Hunter's of the Warp (local 40K group) winter league last year - the first I signed up for - had a loose narrative behind it. It was all supposed to be taking place on an Ice World... I wondered, at the time, what I was to field...? I had my bare-chested Guaiacans at the time (Catachans), and was just starting the Tallarn. I considered quickly bashing together and painting up the KV-2s to field as "Ragnarok" tanks (with stats identical to a Leeman Russ) - So wished I had more than one squad of Valhallans at the time! <br /><br />I did write up some narrative fluff about the losses the Guaiacans were experiencing due to the cold and that the Department Munitorium didn't have cold weather gear to issue to them, they did have some sort of nasty chemical salve that they could rub into their muscles to stay warm. As it turned out, I never got to playing any games that league. timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09928949644765765070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-77085679786900720542018-06-12T08:35:06.277-07:002018-06-12T08:35:06.277-07:00Thanks Dave!

It won't be a leopard spot pattern, but you can bet it will be vibrant and scream, "Oh, yeah, I'm over here!
