House Raven Armiger Class Knights

 House Raven Armiger Class Knights

I love Armiger class Knights and had been meaning to paint the four I had assembled in the garage for a couple of years, but they fell by the wayside as I worked on their larger cousins!

I finally put some time aside and painted the first four of my eight House Raven Armigers and am quite pleased with the result. Unusually for me, I didn't do much in the way of conversions bar adding some little details and tweaking poses here and there.

The four remaining Armigers will be painted up in the near future and I'll update this post once they're done. Enjoy!

Armiger Warglaives - Vulcus & Sythax

The running pose for Vulcus was relatively easy to achieve by reposing the legs then cutting and repositioning the toes of the raised foot.

I decided to display awards and honour markings on the crotch plate of each Knight and the Metalican Forge maker stamp on the inner thigh plate.

Armiger Helverins Hastus & Binax

I built the Helverins in a more static pose, picking their way across an Imperial industrial site with colours to tie in with my Titan bases as they will all be deployed and displayed together.

The Helverins have the same decal placement as the Warglaives but also sport a jousting banner on their left autocannon barrel to make them more unique.

Ira Metallum finished at last!

Anyone that knows me will be aware that I am a teensy bit obsessive and so taking the Imperator Titan to two events unfinished made me physically uncomfortable!  I had the pleasure of being invited to Warhammer fest 2023 to display Ira Metallum alongside the Titan Owner's club game.

It was an honour to see so many people in person and share my Magnum Opus with them - I was genuinely blown away by people's enthusiasm for my creation and the amount of effort I'd poured into it over the last 4 years!

I spent two full 12 hour days talking non stop about my Imperator model and was the most interaction I've had with the community since starting (and because of) this monstrous project!  As a result, I distilled the build down into a photobook to take with me so I could explain exactly how I sent about designing and building the titan - it's also a lovely keepsake for me to look back on!

It may seem a little self indulgent, but I think sometimes it's important to look back over a large project and pat yourself on the back for the hard work you've put in! :)

I used Snapfish as they have a lovely leatherbound window book which was perfect for this!

I was like a little kid opening this up for the first time!

It took me a whole week editing everything down to give a good view of the project

Everyone who came to speak with me at Warhammer fest loved looking through the book 

I promised previously on my blog that I'd share some images and a quick video tour once I'd finally finished painting her; I hope you really enjoy looking through!  Special thanks to @itsolano_  @mechs_and_monsters and @katas_trophies on Instagram for taking and sharing some of the images on this post!  I'd also like to thank @engine_phil on Instagram whose gorgeous Reaver Titan was placed for scale! You're all lovely human beings! 💖
