(002) Hobby Progress. Project 001: Imperial Knights (Part I)

It’s Bank Holiday Monday in the UK and I have spent the day working on my second and third Imperial Knights.

I absolutely love Games Workshop’s Imperial Knight model and I bought one last year when they were first released. You can see the pictures of it over on my Flickr account:
When I saw that they were releasing an updated Imperial Knight model with new weapon options, I ordered one straight away, and another of the original Knights too.
I bought them both from the excellent ‘Element Games’. They cost me £148.25 for the pair, but half of that was credit I had in my PayPal account. That doesn’t count as real money right?
I am painting one to match my first Knight and the other in Mechanicus colours, primarily because I am bored of painting things blue. But it also means that I can use that Knight for my Imperial and Chaos Space Marine armies, by using it as either loyal or Dark Mechanicus.
I am very pleased with how the pauldrons have turned out, but very unhappy with how little I achieved in a whole day. They were already base coated and the transfers applied when I started this morning.
I am a very slow painter. Which goes someway to explaining how the Unpainted Legion has grown to the size it has.
 
 
Current Size of the Unpainted Legion: 237 models.
Currently Reading: ‘The Guns of Tanith’ by Dan Abnett.
