That scratch built knight is awesome. I painted my first Cadian guy and he came out great. I still need to work on my face painting skills, but everything else looks a lot better than I expected. I will try to get a picture of him up sometime. I'm trying to get settled back in from vacation, but I can't wait to take the brush to more guys.

I ended up deciding to do a Veteran based IG army to start with. 3 veteran squads, 1 Command squad, two sentinals, and some Chimeras for the Melta group and CCS. It will be a few months just painting.

I've no idea why the knights have disappeared as they'd fit in well to Apoc games where the Warlord/Imperators are likely to be MIA (unlike Epic) as they're just too impractical. I have to admit with reading through the Gaunt's ghosts books I quite fancy picking up some IG units although the fact I'm rubbish at painting and won't be playing the tabletop game doesn't make that a great idea...still I've seen a couple of cheap baneblades which are tempting. I do prefer the WW style of the IG tanks, I've never liked the Rhino chassis based vehicles the Space Marines have although the Land Raider is pretty cool.

I've checked the dates for the Games Day here and looks like I can get the time to go down which I'm definitely keen on, it looks like they have a great selection plus a few of the authors are going to be there.
