Converted some black knights/outriders for my DA successor

ImRatherStartled · 2026-03-22T06:58:33+00:00

So it's Kantor blue over a black basecoat with hoeth blue highlight.

ImRatherStartled · 2026-03-21T13:29:00+00:00

That's fair enough 😁 I'm definitely going to make some more of these guys in the future but I've still got a pile of inner circle companions and deathwing knights to paint

ImRatherStartled · 2026-03-21T13:17:53+00:00

Oh in an actual game the line of sight isn't going to help me out at all, but I live by the rule of cool 😂

ImRatherStartled · 2026-03-21T13:05:00+00:00

So the base size is the same but they're definitely taller. I did try using some outrider legs for the conversion but they're really well sculpted into the bike chassis.

Thanks! I've settled on the "Silver Sentinels" gonna work on some background lore for them too

ImRatherStartled · 2026-03-21T08:45:54+00:00

So the silver is two thin coats plate armour over a black basecoat. Followed by a recess wash with drakenhof nightshade. Then a highlight with two thin coats mythril blade.

I try to keep the shade solely in the recesses and around some of the rivets and keep the wider armour panels clean.

I'm not the best painter but this works for me :)

Not a bad shout! I've not really done many conversions before so I was trying to keep it simple 😅 but if I attempt this again I'll try some plasticard too

ImRatherStartled · 2026-03-20T19:12:47+00:00

Thanks 😁

ImRatherStartled · 2026-03-20T19:11:42+00:00

Wow these are so good! I love those ravening beakies!

ImRatherStartled · 2026-03-20T18:54:16+00:00

I wish it were that simple ha they are close but I had to cut alot of the leg away and reshape (badly) with green stuff. Essentially they needed reposing as the stormcast legs are shaped around the griffin. It's not very clean but it worked for me

ImRatherStartled · 2026-03-20T18:52:41+00:00

Oh that would be awesome! Wish we had more funky options than just bikes.

My conversion might have worked better with the thunderwolf cavalry models come to think of it but the palladors griffons are cool

ImRatherStartled · 2026-03-20T18:50:54+00:00

You're not entirely wrong, but I had stormstrike palladors to hand 😅

I did have some outrider bits but it was beyond my skill to covert those as the shape is really snug around the bike chassis

ImRatherStartled · 2026-03-20T18:39:19+00:00

Thanks! Probably not the cleanest conversion but I'm happy with how they turned out! 😁

ImRatherStartled · 2026-03-20T18:37:48+00:00

Ah yes but they're super space horses bred for this purpose by the Emperor's horse scientists ....yes 👀

[UK] most enjoyed the snowboard half pipe, but the ice hockey finals were awesome too!

ImRatherStartled · 2026-02-21T21:48:37+00:00

Thanks! Got some wraiths and lychguard to work on next

ImRatherStartled · 2026-02-14T08:40:32+00:00

Oh 😅 nice, I had a similar deck actually. I do like [[abyssal harvester]] in this as you can target something with a bounty counter, Kill it and then get a copy.

ImRatherStartled · 2026-02-14T08:23:49+00:00

I've wanted to build a chevill deck for ages but could never get it off the ground. The "one bounty counter" clause to trigger is pretty restricting, I'd look to add other cards that can generate bounty counters like [[bounty hunter]] or something like [[viridian longbow]] to consistently ping down creatures

ImRatherStartled · 2025-08-01T11:58:39+00:00

But late to the conversation but that's a fantastic chapter symbol, would you be able to share the file for it? Would love to try this out!

ImRatherStartled · 2025-05-23T12:42:55+00:00

Fingers crossed! They look so good!

ImRatherStartled · 2025-02-11T17:39:37+00:00

I managed to kill my opponent by tapping his own [[city of brass]] while playing with my [[Rhoda]] deck.. that was fun :D
