My new 10th Edition 40k Chaos Knight Army begins!!

[@builder969channel6]

"Thankfully I own the local game store," that has got to be one of the biggest flexes in a mini painting video

[@v02max75]

And it wasn't "I own A local gaming store", it was " I own THE local gaming store" 😂

[@mateuszdabrowski7078]

yes XD

[@Oirarana]

For the symbols and heraldry, I really like the idea of it being covered in warding symbols. The Dark Mechanicum may have stuck an Abominable Intelligence to a Knight frame, but they want to be absolutely sure that it's under their control, and have done everything they can to make sure that it doesn't break free. Does lend itself to some possible fun Evangelion-esque beserker 'breaking free' moments in the lore too.

[@luiscandelario5067]

I agree but making some of the sigils incorrect do to the drone's programming seeping into its design would work ...

[@AAhmou]

It's kinda fitting for the Dark Mechanicum to integrate one of those REALLY ancient monstrosities into a knight.

[@latenighthero41]

@3:38 I loved how you grabbed the can from the back. Like a true manager that saved their staff from having to not front the store like you told them.

[@MasterTheik]

The Spindle Drones being protectors of the Blackstone Fortresses, several of which have been in chaos hands, could bring in the fun lore of this Spindle Drone having been corrupted by chaos before it was ever stuck onto the knight. As such having the Spindle Drone come up with its own heraldry in a mockery of the imperial houses sounds like a way cooler approach than just slapping on warding symbols.

[@Hellbreght]

For the heraldry maybe make hexagon patterns. This way it honors the blackstone fortress tiles and also the shape of the shield that the drone gives off.

[@recog3825]

I like the idea of an eye with a syringe instead of a vertically dilated pupil like the sons of horus have, tying it in with the 'augmented' feel of the model.

[@totalNERD-eo7wx]

That trick with the cotton, I could totally see being used to make the Nightlord's lightning patterns.

[@yellheahtris]

That is one of the coolest models I've seen!! I'm such a sucker for things that resemble huge robots / animatronics, and the open back, claw, and cords/wires were so satisfying! I really love how you gradient with the stippling/feathering (excuse my poor terminology) you completely transformed that grey piece in a way that had me pause to just look and admire it! Also, your free hand is insane! This was an insanely cool paint job! Amazing job, Dave! Also, I just love the time cards on the bottom of the video. Theyre so fun!

[@loveblues9633]

The production quality of this channel is absolutely insane and it seems like you guys create one of a kind miniatures every week. The video’s are nicely structured, it’s always interesting and entertaining to tune in. Definitely one of my favourite youtube channels.

[@NoOne-nm4ng]

PLEASE MAKE MORE!!! Chaos knights are simply the best.

[@sultekmavernon4808]

Every time I look at the knights in the videos of my favorite youtubers - I'm freaking out about how cool they are ... Maybe it's time to buy/make my own? Thank you for the video! Looking forward to more knights!

[@Iizavampire2]

Don't own an airbrush but that wool effect of almost leaving lightning scarring is so damn cool I might have to finally make the jump to getting one, trying to build up a Imperial knight army and the idea of them basically being giant lightning rods on a storm ridden world just sounds too good to be true.

[@respectfulevil9022]

gotta love how dave buys hobbying stuff from himself

[@ClarissaMeyer]

That base is art! No idea about heraldry, but I love how you kept the "add-ons" clearly visible by keeping them close to their own, original paint schemes. Regardless of what Jen says: I want to see those other big ones!

[@dominicbrenninkmeijer2293]

I have watched your channel since inception. I must say you as a painter have developed sooo much. It joys me to see your work come to live so much! Thank you for the amazing content! Would love to see a video showcasing your finished traitor guard!!

[@jessicahawkins669]

One day, I’ll figure out where this mythical hobby store is! Kim sick of online online stores! Amazing work, Dave! The base is stunning, and I love the over all colour scheme you’ve got for this bad-ass. For chapter markings…I would suggest a generalised chaos marking. Can’t wait to see you and Jenn square off

[@iamplayingthis166]

I didn’t see the thumbnail because I clicked instantly so I am excited to see how the project turns out!

[@racewild9230]

The greenish metal looks awesome!!!!

[@GalianMode]

That marbling effect tip 😙👌

[@jajsem1109]

I love, that Jenn is in the store to watch it, so Dave can play with models. :D

[@isuariidra5942]

As an idea for symbols and heraldry, you could use the chain heraldry of your traitor guard and every couple of links add a teal line over one of the chains or paint it in teal. This would tie it in to the rest of your traitor forces, as well as giving a subtle yet respectful nod to their Alpha Legion allies/patrons/battle buddies. The chain markings could also act as a disguise for the warding symbols, which in themselves could be a disguise for binary code, with the chains as zeros and the teal lines as ones. Or you could use a real/physical chain and paint every other link teal and attach icons and battle trophies along it, using astarte's shoulder pads from different chapters or heraldry from different knight houses it has defeated over the millennia.

[@SirCrabtor]

for the symbols i reckon a mix of warding and maybe a spindle drone head with the house swords as sort of legs

[@RyanEdwardsVA]

Awesome stuff. And YES build out your other knights like this! Hell yeah!

[@tiberiumnp8030]

Hah, I did very similar base for my Castellan last winter. Cork trench, coffee stirrers and sand bags 😅

[@Matt-md5yt]

this is awesome, glad you got to paint up that epic Chaos knight. the Dark Admech/Xenarite is happy to see this

[@cjtheanimator3390]

For the heraldry I think two cherubs displaying the battle honours/ kills of the knight

[@SteamTitan]

Really curious to see what you guys would do with sister aligned Armigers. Thinking bout getting some myself and left curious what you would do

[@Fallout-pv5lr]

Looks absolutely fantasitc, keep up the good work guys!

[@Olingova]

Amazing stuff, really loving the love given to the basing work

[@willowtreedb]

Would be so interested in you expanding out your Heritek Knight House with less chaos and more adoption of forbidden xenotech.

[@teshin626]

Let the dark Mechanicus Chaos Knights reign

[@MagnumN117]

Looks spectacular! The base, the Spindle Drone and the paintjob are marvelous!

[@Angellord2k5]

man! so so good! serious flex! super job AND great fluff piece for the back story. Lol im ready to read the book.

[@bicskeiz]

Thats the best base I have seen in a long time!

[@lordllewellynofdarkdelight2613]

Excellent knight Lore! Holy abomination! That's magnificent! Please oh please build the Moiraxes with your mind and talent!

[@harbl99]

Watching Dave assemble the trench base for his Chaos Kuh-nigut and all I can think is "I could really go for some ginger biscuits right now."

[@Vollce]

Your talent never ceases to amaze me. Beautiful build

[@AvePonies]

More Chaos! More something else! Down with the corpse on throne :P Love this one, your conversion videos are so awesome and inspiring, keep it up!

[@codystephenson4413]

I think caution/ hazard stripes of the armored tips of the claw . And maybe some of the panels have the camouflage glowing cloak pattern from the eliminators; but instead of it being a texture or background color have it be a mix of spindle drone esthetics and Sakura Sept markings . To tie in the 2 main Ai/ tech that now run the construct

[@Nickknows00]

What’s the construction in the backyard?

[@computersocsci]

Woo that verdigrised brass is gorgeous!

[@crapparc]

I never really looked at the Knight kits, but I really like how you can tell it's made by the Adeptus Mechanicus just like the Sentinels are. The legs really gave it away for me. Also, when you're undercoating at 5:00, is that the crate where you keep Jazza when he's not behaving?

[@hubertozga7069]

This is so awesome. Great job with the build.

[@Frog_Enigma]

this turned out immaculate

[@AlphariusXX426]

Maybe some glowing hieroglyphic green cymbals on the red and the Head of the knight is coding itself into the body of the knight

[@talonlzr]

Insane - as always! You guys rock! :)

[@ovan2190]

I think making some runes that look like veins wrapping around some panels would look cool. Like a mixture of the mechanicum preventing the spindle drone from completely taking over the knight

[@Geeklord1999]

Super excited to see Murray`s tyrranids in the near future, it will be amazing to see. Also, I'd be over the moon to see two knights accompany that heretical beauty. When it comes to sigils, maybe the heretical dark mechanicum has embraced the intelligence in the titan as an embodiement of the machine god and started covering it in wards at it's request? They could be misinterpreting orders to set it free, or maybe the spindle drone is covering itself in markings to signal to other drones that is is among them, as a form of self identification. Definitely lean into the xenotech for those markings for that extra heretical touch!

[@neonsamurai5637]

Id like to see more videos about their shop

[@RobbieB2606]

Insane, one of the best knights I've ever seen

[@thewarp2396]

that marbling affect is awesome, might have to get an airbrush just so I can replicate it on a model

[@DungeonBricks]

I needed a 20 minute video. This fits to a T, thanks.

[@apinakapinastorba]

That spindle drone head is truly creepy, awesome knight model.

[@C0m3TSw1tch]

Magnificent. Worthy of the Dark Mechanicum.

[@hunterjoyce3580]

Yes more chaos knights

[@euansmith3699]

Promethium for the Promethium God! Cogs for the Cog Throne!

[@swakage13x]

I am so glad I am not paying those kind of prices for that evergreen plastic Sheets I get mine from the lobby of hobby 3.99 USD instead of 20 or 15 Australian money

[@TabletopTime]

Thats pretty standard for Australians. Most hobby product is expensive, as im sure you've heard, GW prices, for example

[@DTHMR08]

My chaos knights are House Atrax too! As a fellow Dave, I approve Dave!

[@MortalCosta]

For the symbols it would be really cool if there was just some eldritch scribblings on there, like an AI that learned everything that it could and it went mad itself. They could be more subtle but I think AI, and dark mech would be more into the eldritch ramblings. The knight looks awesome and I can't wait to see what you do with it!

[@doctorbillsans9492]

Is there a tutorial for how you did the glow effect for the eye on the spindle drone head? It looks really good!

[@juliancalero8012]

For the symbols and heraldry, yes. Do it mostly warding symbols with some requested ones that has been mathed to increase the efficiency of the daemon engine

[@satire__]

I'd say the drone asking for stuff to be painted onto it, in my opinion that gives it a more intense heretical aura then wardings, because is the whole point of the dark Mechanicus doing what Admech Won't?

[@stuartperry3761]

Very NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICE work!

[@ulimurch8781]

Great work! The sentient AI has taken over the machine spirit AND a Tau AI. I have three suggestions for it's heraldry: 1. Some perverted "Greater Good" Symbol, because the data indicates this "swarm" the Tau thing tries to reconnect to. 2. A creepy crawling beast as a "parasite" 3. A breaking egg, for the AI is in some new shell of sorts ... some servitors would easily been controlled to do the spraying ... 😊

[@23Gaunt]

It could be possible to combine the warding symbols and heraldry together. The story could be that in the beginning the knight was decorated with heraldic pride but after years of the drone being installed, the heraldry started to morph to fit the drone's personal taste (i.e. the wards themselves). So, some symbols would represent the house while others would show signs of radically shifting or altering their appearance as a result of the drone's corrupting influence.

[@HadoukenHero]

The spoiler at the end! rofl! Loved it guys

[@Frozenkoldfury]

Okay, Dave, hear me out: You don't know wether Warding symbols or personal heraldry us appropriate? BOTH. Markings keep appearing on the Knight, markings that the Dark Mechanicum do not know and did not apply themselves. In an effort to curtail whatever is causing these markings to appear, the Magi in charge of keeping this Knight in check have begun to apply Sorcerous Wards to the armour. It has slowed the appearance of the markings down, but it has not stopped them entirely...

[@microforgeminis]

I for one would like to see a tshirt with Dave’s face on it saying “ya wooly dauber!”

[@thebrute6760]

Love the energy 💕

[@fateazura6768]

How is the portable airbrush and compressor? I've been wanting to get something as an entry, while also trying to keep in mind what little space I have for a big bulky one.

[@allonewordcaps]

It’s beautiful.

[@Hukahey]

Really amazed work

[@warpwingminis]

Maybe some glowing purple xeno patterns or glyphs to show the spindle drones influence burning out of the core

[@masonball1621]

I think dark mechanicum markings warning that this night's kind of cuckoo for cocoa puffs would probably be better than the alternative

[@morganspringer2740]

I feel like a couple strings of glowing binary code could look cool on the armour, like a mathematical version of binding/warding runes

[@KazeTheCursedOne]

What about the eight pointed star of chaos but instead of the arrows pointing outwards they point inwards?

[@scragglefoot2179]

I think you should paint on a blackstone fortress silhouette on one of the panels.

[@OmegablueWolf]

i know its been 11 days but: Alpha Legion Hydra some where on the Knight would be pretty great even if its peeking out from some other bit of hearldry, also maybe kill markers of Knight heads or something ?

[@kyeg]

The knights former name may look cool some where on one of the shoulders

[@cinderheart2720]

I'm thinking both warding sigils to contain the abominable intelligence, but also prayers and markings celebrating it, appeasements to keep their war machine happy.

[@2dola]

Make it so dave, make it so. He is epic!

[@iangreen4572]

Those cork coasters look delicious, like giant Hobnobs 😂

[@magnusmillerwilson]

Heraldry: What about something organic? Like some kind of technovirus kind of thing from The Warp that has ebbed its way like a skin infection up along it? Make it like a circuit board pattern, or something else though so it is a blend of heraldry and Warp-organic nastiness.

[@ericvaughn2617]

I think it would be fun if your hearldry were qr codes that linked to the page(s) where the knight is sold.

[@mateuszdabrowski7078]

now thats preatty epic!

[@vectorshaman338]

"It's gonna be a good one" Ha, jokes on you! Their all good ones!!!

[@the_guitarcade]

The conversion work on this knight is so cool that the awesomeness that is the basing may go unremarked upon for most of its life, so I just wanted to point out how cool that is, and inform you that I'm stealing the idea. For heraldry, Dark Mechanicum and stuff from the Blackstone Fortress would be cool. Stuff to a Chaos god, or chaos undivided seems like it would be weird, and wouldn't quite fit.

[@rogertull8888]

YOU COULD HAVE USED SO OF THE CORRUGATED IRON ON THE ARMOUR, LIKE A PATCH ON ONE OF THE SHOULDERS, MAYBE AROUND THE THE GUN, LIKE A COVER

[@cheyzus7554]

Fantastic!

[@lemcrossview5358]

As I'm in the process of building my own Slaanesh devoted chaos knights, I am eager to see your traitor house grow and flourish under the dark mechanicum. Please treat those Moirax's right!

[@rakkit1212]

a symbol you could put on is a split mechanicum cog and a split chaos star

[@imbartman6622]

You should paint the tabletop Time logo as a trophy on one shoulder

[@jacksond420]

Dave this is a cracker, well done mate

[@TheSteve_42]

Could we please see all of your armies all lined up? With all the models you've painted over the last few years? The Sakura Tau, Sisters of battle, mud lads and such? Please? 🙂

[@Pierre845]

What are the streaking grime things called? A wooly... What?

[@robertpowell7616]

I think the knight def needs at least one Table-Top Time symbol on it!

[@dependent-ability8631]

very nice

[@Verocyie]

You should do daemonic script that the dark mecha use to bind the spindle to their will

[@aegishjalmur123]

Awesomeeee

[@graefx]

Im wondering if it would be too busy to do both. The alien intellegence trying to fully assert control over the Knight with its own markings while the Dark Mechanicum haphazardly applies sigils to keep it under control

[@Novafly72]

It would be cool to add some scrap code around the model!
