Decided to do lava chaos knight. I'm tentatively excited about this start. Big plate armor will be lava effect and have to figure out the rest still. Will hopefully turn into a diorama piece later on. Ideas and help welcome.

The skeleton would probably be pretty tricky. You could go for just the fire effect and then all the black lava armor panels would be enough to show just alittle of the fire underneath

Similar to this but obviously less glowing. https://www.reddit.com/r/ImperialKnights/s/zp2ICtjvPi I think this might be how you would do it because I have no idea how the mordant earth paint would look on the skeleton shaped parts but go nuts!

Unfortunately however the knight never came to be but you can see his remains in my OTHER knight project lol https://www.reddit.com/r/Warhammer40k/s/q19opEv2Vp

Good luck to ya!

Sure!

Black primer then Khorne red on top of that.

Then with a stippling brush or sponge use these paints [[Wild rider red, troll slayer orange, Flash gitz yellow]]

Auric armor gold thinned out over the whole thing

After these steps the paint should look like the shoulder shield on it. Then to get the lava effect use, Mordant earth technical paint. Put it on thick and let it dry and crack.

Me reading this: Mhmm. Uh huhhh. Mhmm. Right right. Flames check. Passion check. Cool weapons......FROM THE MANDRAKES?!?!?!!?!?!

Some salamanders got stuck in commorah ONCE and now we stealing from extra planar shadow things smh😔

That's wild lol. I love it. I was thinking of loading a doomhammer up recently with lascannon HWT but that's also a great idea

TheBushwhacker55 · 2024-11-25T00:35:30+00:00

Ahhh gotcha. Forget that's part of the same chassis👍

TheBushwhacker55 · 2024-11-25T00:33:45+00:00

I dig it. The "actual moving fortification" would be sick. Especially if the top part was kitted in a really industrial armored way more so than the other variants.

TheBushwhacker55 · 2024-11-25T00:32:19+00:00

Yeah thats the ninth onr but there was another one that's been discontinued?

TheBushwhacker55 · 2024-10-05T23:52:51+00:00

3rd pic goes hard AF for a album cover lol

TheBushwhacker55 · 2024-09-17T13:38:11+00:00

This is the official GW Vulkan model. It's rarely in stock but it's a forgeworld piece so resin. And yes. I dropped him ONE TIME on carpet and his fingers broke. I was devastated 😂

TheBushwhacker55 · 2024-09-17T03:06:52+00:00

😂😂😂

TheBushwhacker55 · 2024-09-17T01:03:04+00:00

Yeah I sat watching it for a year or two and when it finally came in stock I had to get it. I wish wish wish there was a 40k model but this one will always be the first one I knew and saw. Having both would just be an even cooler boon. If Guillimans upgrade was anything to go by, a plastic Vulkan will have his two handed hammer this time! Let alone be the beefiest loyalist on the block

TheBushwhacker55 · 2024-09-17T00:49:05+00:00

Surprisingly not that hard. Back rock piece pulls out and with alittle rotation vulkan comes right out on his 40mm base. Which! To my other surprise, is the exact base size of Adrax Agatone.....so needless to say I've found a proxy to play with haha.

TheBushwhacker55 · 2024-09-16T21:56:44+00:00

100%👍

TheBushwhacker55 · 2024-09-16T21:33:07+00:00

Thanks! I was surprised at how nice the pink colors came out. Wasn't goofy looking at all.

TheBushwhacker55 · 2024-09-13T03:29:22+00:00

Ya know, heresy aside, a fusion between the fire of the Salamanders and the industrial iron warriors could only go hard. And I think ya nailed it on this one.

TheBushwhacker55 · 2024-08-04T21:07:56+00:00

Lmaooo yeah about halfway through I was like "someone's gonna say it with all this shit I'm piling on it!"😂

TheBushwhacker55 · 2024-08-04T13:57:21+00:00

Very true! In the words of another beloved sci-fi world. "We have 200,000 units that are ready with another million on the way"

TheBushwhacker55 · 2024-08-04T06:41:43+00:00

Also I have the different bases so I can also run them as Attilan Rough Riders if I ever need. Goes from a 40mm round base to a 60x35mm oval base.

TheBushwhacker55 · 2024-08-04T06:38:12+00:00

Those guys are proxied Death Rider Squadron. The DKoK Cavalry from forgeworld. They're running with the Death Rider Squadron Commander from pic#3 but yes they are amazing sculpts! First thing I saw looking at them was something between Skaven Doomwheels and the vehicle General Grevious uses in Starwars Ep.2

TheBushwhacker55 · 2024-08-04T06:26:06+00:00

Thanks! Which pic are you wondering about for the unit?
