I wanted my Champion of the Goodies to be a stereotypical Knight. As you’ll see I have used some 40k parts mixed with Bretonnian and even a bit of Chaos Marauder in an attempt to make him suit “fantasy” more than 40k. Being Age of Sigmar of course. I think, even though the legs are a bit of a give away, I’ve managed to make Prince Edward The Dragonheart fit in with AOS28.
Love to hear your thoughts gang.

Cheers. The photos are just as important as the modelling.

He looks great, clever use of the Dark Angels bits there.
While I like the helmet as it is, I think there’s a Bretonnian knight helmet with a dragon on top that could be a neat way to work his name into the model.

Hmm I didn’t think of that. I’m not a huge fan of the flamboyant helms but I’ll have a look see. Thanks for commenting man I’m glad you like him.

Omg that is AWESOME. lol I love that idea. I used to play WoW and I loved pun kinds of names. Most people call me Dani in real life so I made a paladin and named it Paladani. But IgKnighted is so much cooler! š

Cool dude! The shield arm looks a bit thin compared to the other arm and the legs, or is it just the photos?
LikeLiked by 1 person
Thanks. The shield arm looks thin because it is armourless I think.

I think he looks great. If you have ever read Brandon Sanderson’s Stormlight Archive series, the large leg armor reminds me of Shard Plate armor quite a bit. Kind of how I always envisioned it would look while reading the books.

Thanks Mike. I’m not familiar with it, no but I’ll have to look it up now.

I highly recommend it. Sanderson is the author that was picked to finish Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time after his death. That is how I was introduced to his work, and now he is my favorite author.

One of the worse things I ever did as a kid was get a flat top haircut but when it comes to helmet designs they are the bomb! Hehe.

Looking really good. To be honest, I think he’d do better with an armoured right arm, being a knight and all. The helm likewise looks good, but I think it could benefit from just a little more bling. Both notes take into account that he’s your leader. If he were a grunt, I think he’d be perfectly great.

Thanks mate. He’s a champion not a leader and I did try to find the perfect right arm but couldn’t seem to get it. Grrr. I might have to hit the old eBay. Cheers.

What sort of arm are you looking for in particular?

Preferably something in chainmail. I’ve used all the good right arms from my Bretonnian supplies. Although I could cut away a lance.
LikeLiked by 1 person
Hm, chainmail is probably my “weakest” set of bits. I’m sure I have some Fireforge arms, but I think they’d probably be a bit small for this guy, being based on a SM.
