Galactic Knights

A special Space Marine of the Night Lords

thomasriepe , , ,

As xmas is gone I can show you pictures of a special xmas present for my son , without spoiling his surprise. He liked it very much when he unwrapped it at xmas eve.

He is a huge Night lords fan and therefore I thought it fitting to build him a Night lord display marine. As I got a resin 3d printer ( Anycubic Photon) and found STL files ,on thingiverse, for printing marines I thought about doing a bigger then life marine. The parts on thingiverse are 28mm ( heroic GW scale) so I resized the parts to something like 200% the normal size and started printing.

Here are the parts:

I then sanded the parts to get rid of the supports and build the marine:

I then added some more details like skulls, horns, a loincloth and a cloak and started painting:

here is the finished model in all its splendor:

And a size comparison with one of my Galactic Knights marines:

The miniature will find a fitting space in my sons flat!

 

Kompaniemeister of the second Kompanie of the Galactic Knights space marine chapter

I finished the Kompaniemeister or short Meister of the second Gefechtskompanie of the Galactic knights space marine chapter of the Ordo teutonics (you can read more about my selfmade chapter here). The Kompaniemeister is the equivalent of a captain in other chapters. So here is Bruder Thomas 2nd Kompaniemeister of the Ordo Teutonicus Galactic Knights.

Bruder Thomas was the first Primaris Marine to join the Galactic knights. He is wearing Gravis armor.

I used a special head for this miniature. It is sculpted by my very good friend Paul Hicks and resembles myself . Here you see the assembly before paint was applied:

Bruder Bernd of the Galactic Knights

Here is the next member of the 3rd Gruppe 2nd Gefechtskompanie of the Galactic Knights space marines. He is wearing mark IV or Maximus power armor.

At the Mark IV stage of Power Armour development, Space Marine armour began to take on an appearance recognizable to that of contemporary Power Armour patterns, its primary change being the abandonment of the separate abutting plates of armour in favour of larger, inflexible armour casings incorporating flexible joints. This marginally reduced an Astartes’ mobility but was far easier to produce and maintain, and the suit was actually lighter and provided its wearer with more overall mobility due to the lessened weight, while not reducing the actual level of protection the suit provided compared to its Mark II counterpart. The Mark IV suit’s helmet was a completely new design, the basic shape inspired by the sweeping front of the Mark III. In Mark III and later versions the helmet was no longer fixed to the armour’s neck plates, but moved with the wearer’s head while still maintaining an environmental seal.

Three more to go!

Bruder Heinz of the 3rd Gruppe, 2nd Gefechtskompanie, Galactic Knights space marines

This is the next member of the 3rd Gruppe lead by Komtur ( sergeant) Karl. He is wearing MK III armor. The Mark III was never intended to replace the Mark II armour but instead was a specialised suit to provide heavier protection than the normal Mark II suit when fighting in conditions similar to that found on the Squat homeworlds, in mines, subterranean complexes or the tight corridors of a spacecraft. It has more frontal protection than the Mark II Armour, but the weight of the rear armour was lessened to compensate. The suit uses a heavy armoured helmet with sloping plates designed to deflect shots to the left and right, thus inspiring its name as the Iron Armour pattern. The helmet inspired the Mark IV and VI helmet designs. The wedge-shaped helmet (designed to deflect incoming fire from the front) formed the basis for the later distinctive Corvus Beak helmet of the Mark VI pattern. Iron Armour clanks and grinds with the slightest movement, making it all but useless in stealth operations. However, the presence of such an imposing and ancient suit of Power Armour is a great honour for all Space Marines and can greatly boost unit morale in combat. ( warhammer 40k wiki)

Bruder Johann Space Marine of the Galactic Knights

thomasriepe , , , , , ,

Here is the next Space Marine of the 2nd Gefechtskompanie 3rd Gruppe, Bruder Johann. This is the first beaky marine i did for the Galactic Knights. I will do a few more in older armor as it is the habit of the ordo teutonicus ,aka the Galactic Knights, to pass on old armor to new marines . So there will be ,eventually, all kinds of tactical and terminator armor in the chapter.

Gruppe Karl of the 2nd Gefechtskompanie Galactic Knights Space Marine Chapter

thomasriepe , , , , , ,

Here is the Komtur of the 3rd Gruppe 2nd Gefechtskompanie of the Galactic Knights Space marine Chapter. Komtur Karl is a former member of the Elite first Gefechtskompanie also known as “Mondkrieger” ( Moonwarriors) , therefor he wears the icon of the Mondkrieger on his left knee. A blue moon with the name Mondkrieger above in red. On the right knee he wears the Gruppe sign of the 3rd Gruppe a red chapter cross.

Here is the icon of the Mondkrieger a bit bigger :

Mondkrieger

The icon on the figure is a decal I made with decal paper and a printer. As I do all my decals.

Here are some more pictures of Karl:

The black helmet also denotes him as a member of the first Gefechtskompanie. All members of the first Kompanie wear black helmets instead of white ones to denote their elite status. So as a former member and a Komtur he has a black helmet with a red stripe denoting his rank.

Next up some more members of the 3rd Gruppe.
