Customizing an IMPERIAL KNIGHT! Are knights the most UNDERRATED Warhammer models?

Wasted opportunity Eric. You started this video off saying "something is a little off about the knights" and you don't put it on a comically large horse. Smh

The imperial night looks fantastic, the armor panels are crisp, the checker patterns are clean and the light effect looks gorgeous.

I always thought the Knights looked a bit derpy, but you definatly changed my mind on this one, making them taller and toning down how bussy the paint job is, works 🤟

That is a nice, cohesive looking Knight; the limited palette really sells the idea that this thing is a warmachine.

The checker pattern on the lance just made me think of the knight casually turning up at your jousting diorama like he's not a huge 40ft walking death machine lol

My biggest pet peeve with the IK kit is the monopose legs, I hate that you cant pose the legs. Also the dominus is not taller, it just has legs more close each other and not as wide stance

The thing that annoys me about most people who use the extenders you used is that they only extend the waist and forget to extend the legs as well and it end up making them look really oddly proportioned

As somebody who plunged head first into some Chaos Knights, this video feels like an invaluable resource. I was really intimidated by the idea of how to paint so big a model, but this more reserved approach feels eminently doable! Also, the red and yellow checkers next to that black armor hit me right in the nostalgia, reminding me of BattleTech's vinyl Mad Cat kit from ages ago. Wonderful work all around!

The plasma effect blew me away. I was so skeptical about it until JUST after it was finished and MAN, I love it. Excellent work

You’re definitely one of my favorite YouTubers Eric. The short clip of the knight walking through the street was hilarious!

Damn that glow effect is absolute top tier

Painting Knights is suprisingly easy and oddly enough, I consider them a decent starting model for someone who wants to explore methods other than brush painting. I paint minis VERY slowly so when my friend sent me a Chaos Knight Desecrator, I thought I'd be painting that thing for years, but I wanted to try a new method of painting using rattle cans to do most of my coverage. I chose to paint this particular Chaos Knight as The Gilded King model from the Codex (albiet a bit more weathered and less clean) and using th rattle can to do my metal and gold armor, with a couple days of brush painting smaller details, I had that mini complete in like 4 days. It was pretty easy and I learned a lot about mini painting in general from it. Currently I am painting a Knight Castellan but I am doing the armor by hand. I am painting the Knight known as Stormwalker, and the Purple I think needs a hands on approach, but the large flat surfaces really help me work efficiently without having to be too cautious so that way I can enjoy the process and have a big and badass model.

Awesome!! Love when the knight was walking through the city! That was awesome!!!! Thanks! Fantastic work!!

Hands down one of the best knights I've seen painted to completion. In addition to a well-painted knight, the video was well crafted too. The "less-is-more" approach is amazing and something I wish I knew before making my own. All in all, you are spectacular.

WOW! Great looking knight. I have two knights, one I painted flat silver over all with a brush, the other I used rust-oleum forged hammered antique pewter spray paint. Used testors bottle paint (enamel) . Love the pewter paint in certain light it looks old and forged.

When I get some knights of my own I’m planning on doing a marble theme on the armor panels.

13:43-14:05 Wow It looks so restrained and charming at the same time! Thanks for the video!

Perfect example of the "less is more" mindset. Great result. (I do wish you'd done exhaust burn on the back though, because I really want to learn how to do that well!)

I really want my own knight, the size comparison when you put them on the table with other units is really cool

I wish I had known about the after market bits to make this model taller. I traded mine away because it was not up to expectations. Nice job on this model Eric, very inspiring. 👍
