A work in progress of my Khorne knights.
Still rough around the edges.

Purple for Khorne? Slaanesh called, he wants his colour scheme back. :P

I can say that I'm not responsible for that heresy.
The knights themselves are second hand,  as are most of my miniatures. :P

Where did Star Trek colors come from? Was there a crossover comic our something? Otherwise red and white don't seem very Star Trekky.

Yes - I'm aware that it should be red and black, but I tried dabs of both and red and white turned out to look better on the models/the detail shows up better that way so I ran with that - sorry! :(

Red and black still doesn't seem it. I'm just curious about the origins.

Well, the idea of using red as the base colour was from ToS redshirts. Googling it and looking at different eras of uniform, I think my brain was remembering something along the lines of the uniforms in this clip and aiming for a similar aesthetic (though of course the armour design is different etc):

Ah of course. I never think of the ToS era movies when I think of uniforms. D'oh! :picard_facepalm:

Aye - I should really watch more Star Trek... but yes, when I looked it up I realised that's what I'd been thinking of! There should be a bit more red/white variation and intricacy when they're done too, though who knows when that'll be!

Screw it, I'm leaving that broken reply there as proof that there's something seriously screwy with the WYSIWYG interface. It randomly converts text to a different font and sets the size to that miniscule nonsense. It also adds erroneous linebreaks. Something to do with how it processes embedded images..?


MOAR HATS!


100% my own parts  :o

I've been Nurgle-obsessed lately.  :P

So here are a few early WIP pictures of my BSB, Mordenax the Hoarder:
