Tips
Hints for this army
1A full Knight can easily take four to eight hours, so sub-assemblies are worth the effort. Keep the carapace, arms and torso separate for as long as possible.
2Large armour plates are perfect for subtle battle damage or weathering, but clean trim lines should still do most of the visual work.
3House Terryn lives or dies on its heraldry. Take extra time on the trim, icons and shield details before calling the model finished.
