40k Imperial Knight Commission

My buddy Gabe, commissioned me to paint up an Imperial Knight in the style of Legend of the Five Rings Dragon Clan style.

Here's what I've done:

The lighting is a little harsh, but I think you can make out the shading on the green. I originally tried painting scales using an airbrush and a piece of mesh, but it didn't really look good. I may have used too much paint, but I'm pretty pleased with how this turned out.

Gabe put him to good use as an ally for his Grey Knights in the last league at our FLGS and has decided to build a full Knight army. He's hired another local gamer to paint another Knight in another L5R clan and has asked me to paint his third Knight in the Crane clan colors.

Las Vegas Open Results

I had a blast in the Warhammer 40k Champs at the Las Vegas Open. I went with my buddy, Kyle and slugged it out for 3 days of gaming, big crowds, and casino food. Here are a few pics from the event. I only went 1-5 in the Champs and 1-1 in the Sunday RTT but it was still a great weekend of playing games. Two of my losses were a combined 5 points and I felt so close to having a .500 weekend. Pro tip: Thunder wolf cavalry are tough to play in GW/WTC/Frontline terrain maps. You end up bottlenecked in your own table half. I was my own wolf jail... I'm a little embarrassed by my score, but I learned quite a bit and I think I'm going to focus on my silver Space Marines or Orks for the next year. #Warhammer40k #lvo2025 #spacewolves40k

2024 ITC Rankings

Judging by my win-loss record, I've had a terrible year playing Warhammer 40k. Needless to say, I'm flabbergasted at the final rankings of the 2024 ITC season. What?!? I placed in the bottom 10% at the LVO; I placed even worse than players who dropped out after 3 games, so I'm not sure how those points and placings are tabulated, nor how season points are calculated but I'm in the 2,000s for the USA rankings? One bonus though, I'm the top "Dusty" in the world.
