About the Project

My attempt to squeeze some hobby in, and try to get back into 40k gaming. Hopefully before they get to 10th edition!

You get an model of the pilot in the kit; he’s meant to be used for the Knight’s special character, Canis Rex. Instead, I’ve converted the pilot (he’ll have no use in the game, but this is supposed to be a relaxing hobby thing for me, and I felt like having a pilot mini!).
Legs, fists and a little blokey
One of the problems with the Knight kit is that the legs are fixed in a single pose. So I’ve  reposed the legs, which required a far bit of cutting and was pretty fiddly too. It’s obviously been too long since I tackled anything like this!
But I’m happy with the finished leg pose.

I also coverted the fingers on the fist – I didn’t really like the ‘fingers straight down’ look. I also started on adding the heraldry to the fist armour and the tilting plate.

That’s as far as I’ve got for now.
But I’ll only get a couple of hours a week to work on this, so it’ll be a while before there’s any more progress.

Working in the tabletop gaming industry means that hobby becomes work…  so, in a desperate attempt to do some hobby stuff that isn’t just for Oathsworn and Burrows & Badgers, I’ve started making an Imperial Knights army for 40k.

‘Personal’ hobby stuff always ends up taking second place to work related stuff, though – which means this will be a very slow project! ?
I’ve been meaning to make a Knight army ever since they were released (7 years ago!), but kept putting it off. But last month, my wife got me an Imperial Knight kit and the Codex for my birthday… so now I have no choice but to get on and make a start!
So far, I’ve read through the Codex, and used the info in there to plan the heraldry for my household, and the personal heraldry for the first Knight. I’m building him as a Gallant, with no upgrades, just the basic stubber, fist and the sword.
