Title: Ixion - Knight Paladin of House Hermetika
Post by: Agis on 07 June 2015, 02:45:18 PM

I bought one of the model kits right at the release of the Imperial Knight kit in March 2014.
I assembled it pretty fast but then it somehow ended in the “to Paint Queue”.
Now after 15 month I finally got the model finished.
So behold “Ixion” venerable Knight Paladin of House Hermetika.

I used transfers of the original kit and some Forge World sheets, the heraldry on the Ion shield is partly freehand painted (the flames) as is the Hermetika H symbol on the right shoulder.

And finally a group shot with some more Mechanicus minis:

"Many machines on Ix. New machines..."

Lovely, just lovely. I am particularly impressed by the smooth richness of the reds contrasted to the smooth shinyness of the gold/brass areas.

Thanks folks, I used mostly the new GW/ Citadel colours on the Knight, worked fine!

"Many machines on Ix. New machines..."

"Better than those on Richese"  :D  My first though too.

Beautiful job Agis!

Very nice. Very smooth paint job.

But the technically the weaponry makes it a Knight Errant, not a Paladin.  :P

Thanks again folks!

Damn, you are right... (Blush!)  ;)

Bah, who needs 40K for this, ViDe Future Combat covers that one nicely...

           Facing Critical Hit  Save Special
Size: 5 F/S/R  12+     9+  3+    Night Vision, Radio, Walker

To represent the Reaper Chainsword I choose the CC Upgrade for + 60 pts
Together withe Devastating rule it will roll 5x D10+4 plus Re-Roll vs Infantry - ouch!

Very nicely painted :)

It is good to see a few variations of colour on the understructure rather than just plain gun-metal too.

That's lovely. Makes mine look  very plain indeed, really nice.

Edit:
I wonder if anyone has thought of using one of these in Epic as Warlord proxy?

Too big, even for truescale* warlord titans, if that kind of thing matters to you. Could make a decent truescale imperator titan, though. I've been keeping an eye on ebay for warden kits, going for slightly less silly money, for that purpose.

Edit: This guy started (http://www.tacticalwargames.net/taccmd/viewtopic.php?p=520164#p520164). Don't know if he ever finished.

*I know that term might bring some people out in a rash, but word is that GW made titans about a third smaller than their own scale measurements, for some reason. Some diehard Epic fans made bigger versions for themselves. Some of them can be seen in Agis' own gallery, there.

It would look pretty though!! :)

Hmm, very interesting; an Imperator Titan based on a Knight!
