Knight Errant WIP 1

I got a little ahead of myself last week and went ahead and made this knights base first. I couldn't resist making a base that had a ruined building and propaganda posters on it that I had start painting from the ground up. If you could see my browser cache you'd see that I found a neat little tutorial on making to scale crushed beer cans. expect to see litter on these bases in coming days.

Back to the knight!

The very first layers of paint are now down on the support structure. This knight is being kitted up as a knight errant. Even so, I had to paint the battle cannon. I love painting heat damage and wanted to see what it looked like when I extended it further down the barrel.  The fun part of the paint job is just starting. I think this knight will have either chevrons on the middle carapace, or the mid section painted white. The benefit there is that all of the battle damage stands out so nicely, and the grime streaks look better. Shall I flip a coin?
