Project: Knights of Morr

Project: Knights of Morr

Today i decided to investigate how the knights of Stirland should look like, and i found that in Stirland, close to the Sylvanian border, there is a small city called Siegfriedhof. This city hosts the Templars of Morr.. the Knights of Morr.. black, deadly and silent on the battlefield.. This is defenitly what i like :)

So this is the first step of this unit.. assembling it with one already painted (in wrong colors AND varnished.... Doh!)

The unit commander can either be the assembled general, as seen in the bottom right corner of the picture or one of my two elector counts as seen on the picture below. I must admit that I would prefer the elector count, but which one??

Well.. i have tried to start up one the first horse, just to get an idea of how to paint it.

So far i have painted the armor with abbaddon black and given all the edges a thin line of the old GW paint "Adeptus Battlegrey".

  

I might get a decent outcome, once the higlights of the horse itself is done and the ground aswell..

This is the final (first) horse of my Knights of Morr group.. i do like the outcome and I am looking forward to do the knight :)

  

I made a little progress on the model today. Most work on the knight himself.

 

Update:

Today i based all the horses with Chaos Black. The one horse with the yellow barding (seen  in the middle on the top image) was easy to correct, as it has only been given a single layer of yellow.. The one with the yellow barding to the far right is another case. This horse and knight has been painted and then dipped with armypainter dip, so correcting the colors is a bit more difficult, but the result on the horse is maskable as the primary color is black. The knight that has been dipped (seen on the picture below as the one with yellow head feathers to the right) might be a way more difficult task. Nevetheless.. all horses has now been given a black base and the first heavly line markup of dark grey has been applied. Before i give it a more bright grey as highlight i have to tidy the lines up a bit. And as a bonus.. i found a completely unassembled horse and its partly assembled knight.

Today i made a custom base for the knights.. Plan is to sand and paint it the same way as the bases

First knight completely done :) YAY!!

  

Second knight done and the homemade movement tray aswell..
