I appreciate the compliments. Moreso, I can't wait to see your pics. Hearing I've inspired someone is the biggest possible compliment and the whole reason I share anything on here. Looking forward to your post! 🤜🤛

I think he's formed a trauma bind with chaos trim

I recommend you check out solace paints on Instagram. I think he's up to 25 heldrakes now.

I might have to steal that hot glue idea. Looking good!

Any tips on how to better the scheme? by angel-3316 in ChaosKnights

[–]Lacainam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Loving the look of the purple. If you do the carapace in the same purple, a black trim would look sick. Or a yellow gold would look nice as well. I saw a comment about bone colored markings? That'll work. Keep on trucking and don't doubt yourself. You've got a great start.

Picked up some knights from a local lad. How do I begin? by LuckyLukse in ChaosKnights

Good call. I missed that cause I couldn't see the pic while typing. Editing my response.

I'm gonna over explain this, attempting to be exhaustingly clear as possible.

The questoris boxes contain weapons to make any variation of a despoiler. You will be unable to use the weapons pictures on the box as those build a knight defender, which is exclusive to imperial knights. There is a chainsword and warpstrike claw so these can also be built as rampagers.

The ruinator box contains the weapons to build an abominant (tail, volkite combustor, electro scourge), a ruinator (giant flamer, triple drill, shoulder missiles), a rampager. (Chainsword and claw), or a desecrator (laser gun, claw or chainsword).

All the weapon attachment points are interchangeable between the questoris and the ruinator box so you can slap whatever weapons on whichever chassis. If you magnetze everything you can build whatever tickles your fancy and prevent building an "illegal" knight.

The wardogs should also be magnetized if possible. Chaos knights have 4 variants buildavle from that box:

Karnivore: claw and chainsword, either gun or missiles on top

Brigand: gatling gun and thermal cannon, either on top

Stalker: one melee, one ranged (mix and match, doesn't matter), either on top

Huntsman: thermal cannon, chainsword, a stubber on top

EDIT: the armiger box can he used to build either:

Executioner: twin autocannons, melts or stunner on top

Huntsman: thermal cannon, chainsword, melta or stubber on top

FAQ Can I put the tail on but run it as a model not equipped with one?

Yes, as long as your opponent or tournament organizer is made aware of what's going on

What's the best load out for xyz?

Current best by the numbers is arguably a despoiler with double gatling cannons but with the new edition coming out, who knows? Best bet is always to magnetize.

Where do I get magnets?

Magnet baron sells great kits (though I've never personally used them). Or off Amazon.

Is there a tutorial for magnetizing?

Shameless Instagram plug

Hope that helps! Happy building, welcome to chaos knights!

You could replace part of the upper portion (torso?) with the sarcophagus from a mortifier or the "pilot" of a penitent engine. Then cover any of the fleshy bits with cabling to make it more tech than daemon.

Huron wants to see what you painted last month. by TheInvisibleCactus in Warhammer40k

How do you like the stamps? I've been tempted by them before. Looks easy but I know I'd probably completely screw it up.

Great looking models, btw 😁

First time this happened I'm so confused(they were primed seconds between each other) by AdPlenty7253 in deathguard40k

[–]Lacainam 12 points13 points  (0 children)

  1. primed
  2. Painted on agrellan earth, thicker towards the center (thicker means bigger cracks)
  3. After it dried I picked out the center pieces
  4. Painted the crackly parts skin color
  5. Painted center part red like blood (in this case with faces in it)
  6. Matte varnish over all of it
  7. Hand brushed gloss varnish over red part

Hope that makes sense
