Post a Comment On: Fawcett Avenue Conscripts

[Image] After getting to grips with some rocket pods for my tiny Questoris Knights, I thought I'd better finally finish up the rocket pod I'd bought for my 40K scale Knights!

[Image] The item in question is, of course, the pod that comes with the latest version of the Imperial Knight kit - the Knight Gallant/Warden. The Knight shown above is a third-party model from Resinlabs that came with its own (very weedy) rocket pod, but I wanted to have a pod on hand to upgrade this Knight as well as the GW Knight (below) that never had one to begin with.

[Image] So to facilitate general back-and-forth swappery, I magnetized the pod and painted it in neutral colours intended to minimize clash of colour schemes.

[Image] Looks pretty deadly perched up on the Knight carapace! I painted the pod body with Mechanicus Standard Grey and the trim with Hashut Copper, washed with Nuln Oil, and re-highlighted. The rockets are Mephiston Red highlighted with Evil Sunz Scarlet.

[Image] Metal bits on the pod are Leadbelcher. The pod was also sponged up with Rhinox/black chips.

[Image] Here's a better view of the pod top.

[Image] A small magnet was sunk into the carapace hole that was apparently put there for this very purpose!

[Image] Corresponding magnet in the pod (watch your polarity!) and Bob's your uncle...

Now to rocket some enemies of the Emperor, while maintaining appropriate distancing of course!
