I am still working on my two new Imperial Knights. I haven’t
put as much time and work into them lately as I would like. I’ve recently had a
mild case of hobby burn-out and I’ve also been distracted by ‘Batman: Arkham
Knight’. That said, they are marching ever closer to completion, it won’t be
long now until they’re finished.
I have a long weekend booked off of work at the end of the
month and I’m hoping to have completed the Imperial Knights by then, so I can
start/resume work on another project. Working on two similar models
simultaneously for an hour or so a day has felt really productive. I’m
considering moving on to my two half-finished super-heavy tanks next using the
same strategy.
My Knight Crusader will be armed with an Avenger Gatling Cannon
and a Rapid-fire Battle Cannon. I’m not keen on the short, tapering barrel of
the vanilla Imperial Knight kit Rapid-fire Battle Cannon. On my first Knight I
added a muzzle break to the end, with this one I’ve replaced the barrel
entirely with the gun from a Baneblade Super-heavy tank.
My Knight Errant will be armed with a Thermal Cannon and a
Thunderstrike Gauntlet. I like the look of the Thermal Cannon, but it always
seemed a bit stubby for the range it has in the game. So I have elongated mine
using the two spare Rapid-fire Battle Cannon barrels that I had.
The bottom-halves of both Knights are completely finished. I
might add some more weathering powder once the whole model is assembled and
then throw on a coat of Purity Seal though.
Current Size of the Unpainted Legion: 243 models.
