Now My Knight is Tournament Legal

[Chris Copeland]

I rebased my Knight. Now he is tournament legal... I guess I'll head over to the GW store and get a game in...

Raise it up 6 inches and I would play you, hell I would likely let you use it and buy you a beer just because you had the balls to try it in a gw store. The entertainment value from the exploding nerds would be value enough :)

[ElectricPaladin]

Please, please use this in a tournament. Wear a wire. I want to hear the wailing and gnashing of teeth.

[Chris Copeland]

God, can you imagine?! :O

[Houghten]

Wait, is that the 120mm oval base?

You fool, you've ruined your own punchline!

The Knight base is 170mm, so that's still not tournament-legal.




*edit: I would like to clarify that the words "you fool" should be read with as much melodramatic ham as possible, rather than being intended as an actual insult.

[Denzark]

Ummm - its not a 40K miniature, its an epic miniature.

NOOOOOOOOOOO! /gnashes teeth Now I'll have to rebase it AGAIN! Why, God, why?!

[Chris Copeland]

Ummm... its an epic miniature. Yer right, Denzark! That mini sure is epic!

[George Labour]

It's not flocked, nor does it have a minimum of three colors!

Incidentally I did something similar for a practise game. Only I used ovular cuts of carboard plus old Imperator Titans, and a dreadknight.

[Chris Copeland]

It's not flocked, nor does it have a minimum of three colors! Well, I'm not flocking it until I re-re-base it. Actually, it does have three colors but you can't tell from these pictures.

Finding this mini made me realize something: man, I SUCKED at painting 23 years ago!

[YourSwordisMine]

This isn't legal...

It isn't WYSIWYG... Power fist isn't an option

[Wolfshade]

You don't need to rebase it, you only need to attach the base that it is supplied with, maybe too epic though ...

[Chris Copeland]

I'm just gonna keep glueing onto bigger and bigger bases until I get to the right size... :)

You should stack it on all the bases GW makes- 28mm, small flying stand base, 40mm round, 50mm round, large flying stand base, 60mm round, 120mm oval, 170mm oval.

[Dalleron]

+1000 internets for you good sir.

I second this motion.......Also you can send the resulting hospital bills to Paladin :p

With all those bases it should be up to the right height.

[TheCreator]

Ppfffftt! Hahahaha! Paint it bright pink!

[ElectricPaladin]

Ppfffftt! Hahahaha! Paint it bright pink!

And name it Sir Trollius of Trollolol!

[YorkNecromancer]

Hmmm.

You need to thin your paints. I mean, it's fine for tabletop, but a piece like this should really be the centrepiece of an army. Consider perhaps using a dark wash to make the colours pop.

Also, the base could use a little detailing. Not much, mind. Maybe just a little pigment to really make it come to life.

[Chris Copeland]

Thin them? Hell, it looks like I plastered them on with a...

er, I mean, yes. Good point. I see where you are coming from. I think I will touch up the model a wee bit (because my club awards extra points for high quality paint jobs). Also, until I re-re-base the model I don't want to do too much to the base. I've already put TOO many hours into this project as it is... cheers

[Wolfshade]

I call foul play, this is totally modelling for advantage, I mean it can hide behind an aegis wall...

[Chris Copeland]

True, but I also wouldn't be able to shoot from behind the Aegis wall...

No you are playing all wrong, just because you can't be seen by anyone doesn't mean you can't see it. Gosh, don't be so consistent with the gaming, or put the gun barrel peering round the edge...

[Chris Copeland]

I hadn't considered that! That opens up all kinds of possibilities! Bwahahahahaha! /evil power-gamer laugh

[YorkNecromancer]

Well it shows. You can't teach skill like that.

And remember not to push yourself too hard; like I say, it's almost perfect.

[KrewL RaiN]

You could put mini knight on a pile of dead foes for epicness. The pile would be the height/width of the new model lol. Don't mess with the mini knight!

I know someone who did something similar using a really tiny skaven (not sure where he got it) before the Hell pit abomination model was released. We all called it monty...

[Chris Copeland]

There is a guy around here who has an itty-bitty nurgle demon on a 60mm base (I think it must be from Epic). The first time he put it down on a table during a tournament I laughed so hard that I shot coffee out of my nose. No one gives him a hard time about using it because it's just so damn cool... seems about right for Chaos...

[Maelstorm]

My good sir, thank you. You have singlehandedly restored my faith in the gaming community.

And I shall call him "Mini Me".....

[Wolfshade]

Maybe it is a lesser demon..
