Hey all, today I thought I’d show the Imperial Knight Warden that I recently finished painting. For the model I used a painting PDF that Forge World provided for the Castigator model.
The basic metallic colour I used for the skeleton of the model was Tamiya Flat Aluminum over a undercoat of black. I then made a thin wash from GW Seraphim Sepia and Nuln oil mixed with Lahmian medium. This was brushed several times over the model, allowing each coat to dry. The armour plates are painted with Vallejo Game colour Bone White and the blue plates are painted with Tamiya Royal blue. Originally for the Castigator model they used Tamiya German Grey. The trim on the armour plates was painted with Vallejo liquid Old Gold and Silver. For the symbols on the shoulder plate and knee I made a stencil from masking tape and for the streaking on the armour I used GW Seraphim Sepia and Burnt Umber thinned down oil paints. I found applying some of the transfer’s quite tricky, especially the eagle symbol on the lower leg armour. To make things easier I used Micro Sol. What do you think? Have any of you been painting the new versions of the Imperial Knights?

I really like this beast, the weathering is very nice. Stunnig work with the stencil! Your gold il better than the one on the recipe. I know Vallejo but i've never tryed the liquid series, is easy to use on smaller subject?
Hey Andrea, yes, I'd highly recommend it. It's really easy to use and control. You just need some surgical spirits to thin the stuff. Also the paint tends to each brushes eventually. But the metallics are nice.
Great model. Really nice job.
What forge world pdf did you use for the Castigator model? Was it just the rules sheet or was there a painting guide that I missed? If it is a painting guide, would you please supply the link? I couldn't find it.
Thanks!
GREAT PAINT JOB!
Hey Jason, it was a painting pdf that FW sent me via email after talking to them on the phone about paint schemes for the Imperial Knights that they painted. I was not able to attach the pdf to this post, but have copy/pasted below what they wrote.
Paul Rudges Knight-Castigator colours.
The model is airbrushed with a base coat of Tamiya flat aluminium over a black
undercoat.
Make a thin wash from equal parts Seraphim Sepia, Nuln Oil, Lahmian
medium(or Tamiya klear) and water, this wash is brushed over the entire model
2 or 3 times, allowing it to dry between coats.
The colours of the armour plates are Karak Stone for the lighter colour and
Vellejo model colour 995 or Tamiya German grey(either can be used as they are
very similar in colour).
The trim on the armour plates is painted Auric Armour gold then the edge is
given a light drybrush of Iron Breaker.
Then lightly sponge a colour made from Abaddon black and Rhinox hide over the
edges of the metal across the entire model.
Use a wash of Seraphim Sepia to add oil like staining to all the moving joints and
pistons. Also apply washes over the gold areas and allow it to pool around rivets.
The streaking on the armour plates is also created using Seraphim Sepia.
Cool thanks. I just picked up a mars pattern warhound that I'll follow this paint scheme on.
