Imperial Knight Gallery
He is finally done! Painting this model has been a labour of love. This is my largest air brush project yet and it was also host to a number of new techniques I wanted to try.
I was keen to avoid it having the air brushed 'look' which I see many models turn out like when they have been 'too' air brushed with incredibly clean, stark gradients. I think they lack a bit of soul and character. I think I have been successful, using a myriad of different techniques to strike a balance between realism and the larger than life character of Warhammer 40k.

So here is the final result:
Plate Weathering Techniques
Here is a quick tutorial on the techniques I used on the plating:
- Air brushed panels in browns.
- Vallejo Chipping medium over the top.
- Air brushed panels blue/black/white.
- Chipped with brush and water.
- Sealed with varnish.
- Added decals.
- Washed the rivets and details with agrax earthshade
- Washed specific parts in nuln oil.
- Used AK Interactive's rust streaks and white spirit for rust.
- Washed areas in seraphim sepia
- Did further chipping with metallics on edges.
