The Black Knight


Finished my Knight model. I decided to go for a gloss black finish to give a suitably sinister appearance but it is awful to photo especially in the Spring light.  I went for a much simpler colour scheme than GW's show models as they look too finicky: great when painted by a commercial artist for close up photography but not really wargame fodder.

The base is MIG earth and permanent fixative with GW technical and textured paint.

    So how tall did it turn out to be?

      Thanks for the info. I was still trying to find out how it compared to the Crusader Leviathan I ordered which should arrive tomorrow.

      Then I found this:

      I guess I got a warhound stand in.

    Nice. It's good to see a simpler paint scheme rather than the masses of hazard stripes

      Some of those GW schemes look like an explosion in a Lego factory.

    Not sure why it needs hazard stripes.
    Great job John.
    Does not look like a Lego explosion. Good colour choice.
    cheers
