Practice makes perfect

“If you plan to use a new painting technique or colour scheme on your Knight, practise it on a spare bit of plastic first,” says Chris. “Movement Tray off-cuts are perfect for this, and totally expendable should it all go horribly wrong!”

Sprues and Glue is our regular in-depth look at modelling Citadel miniatures. This week, Duncan Rhodes and Chris Peach offer their advice on building an Imperial Knight, with a couple of handy tips from members of the White Dwarf team.

“When building regiments, you often find the models don’t rank up easily,” says Chris Peach. “But with careful posing, you can get your regiments looking fantastic.

“The Imperial Knight is definitely one of those kits that benefits from sub-assemblies,” says Chris Peach, who built a fair number of them for the Studio’s collection. “The parts fall into two distinct categories: the armour plates and the metal chassis (known informally among the team as the ‘skeleton’).

“Leaving the armour plates off makes it much easier to paint the skeleton of the kit,” continues Chris, “allowing you to reach hydraulics, cables and areas such as the head much easier. You end up with quite a few sub-assemblies, but it’s worth the effort at this stage because it will make painting the model so much easier. I started by building the legs and attaching them to the base. I then built the torso (minus the carapace) and the arms.”
