Blood Knights & Black Knights

 I'm trying to use some of the old Battle Masters Chaos Knights as Blood Knights, both to get more of my existing Battle Masters collection painted and as a way to save money since I don't have the budget for the finecast versions.

I also did some speed painting the last couple days, trying to get the Black Knight kit integrated with the old metal ones. Did some head swaps with the older horses to add a little variety.

Black Knight

 Here's another addition to my army, and an important one at that... the first of my unit of Black Knights from the new boxed set. They may eventually find their parts mixed with the old metal set I have stashed around somewhere, but I certainly appreciate the ease and stability that comes with an all-plastic model. Trying to keep the metal spear arms attached was a royal pain. Trying out a new addition to the color scheme, which up until this point has been purely black and orange... a bit of bluish highlighting to the black cloth areas, to differentiate them from the metal. Right now I think it may be a bit too bright and abrupt... it'll need some tweaking. What do you think?
