Looking for advice in painting my first army

Looking for advice in painting my first army

Hello everyone! I made a post a few days ago about how I bought 47 knights (15 big ones, 32 war dogs) to start my first army and I've started the long long journey of painting them all. I've decided to start with a knight I got second-hand that has its armor panels detached so I can try out a paint scheme. What do you think? I was going for Word Bearers but in knight form.

I do have a few specific questions:

  • Are the gold spikes any good? Should I have left them silver? Is another color better?
  • Do you have a way to make them look more weathered? From my perspective I don't think they have enough wear or gradients. The citadel wash just leaves streaks while an oil wash unevenly coats the recesses (probably a skill issue on my part)
  • Do you have a recommended matte varnish? These have been coated with "Vallejo Matt Varnish" but they're still really glossy in my opinion.

Thank you for all your help! I really appreciate it.

Request for List Building Help for a New Player

Hello everyone! I'm new to collecting Warhammer and was hoping for some advice on what to do with the stuff I have. Chaos Knights will be my first army, so I would like some of your insights.

I bought a ton of knights, both chaos and imperial, and want to build a CK army with it. The issue I have is that I just have way too much. I got it all for a great deal and was looking at keeping the stuff I want and selling the extra. Here's what I have:

  • 5x Knight Abhorrents
  • 4x Despoilers
  • 3x Tyrants
  • 25x War Dogs
  • 7x Armigers
  • 1x Cerastus Knight Lancer
  • 1x Cerastus Knight Acheron
  • 1x Cerastus Knight Castigator

15 big knights and 32 smaller ones is too big of a collection for me to handle, so if you have any insight on how I should pare it down I'd love to hear it. Almost all of it is NIB or NOS, so I will definitely be magnetizing. Thank you!
