The idea behind painting a little bit every day is supposed to get you to churn through projects, and finish loads of things. The reality is my painting desk is covered in half-finished WIPs - but that just means sometimes I get the joy of spending a painting session solely on the fun finishing touches! This is not one of those days. This is a Blocking In Colours day. The more I paint, the more I find this - that which used to be the most tedious part - my favourite bit. No stress, no fuss, just blocking in colours and making progress. #paintingwarhammer #warhammercommunity #gamesworkshop #warhammer30k #horusheresy #horusheresy2point0 #blackshields30k #blackshields #endrydhaar #rivenhound #knighterrant #hobbystreak #hobbystreakday436 (at Wakefield) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn5bL7wteAg/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Yellow and blue troubador coat. Very loosrly based off Jamie Lannister's coat. Designed with a buckled cross front, quilted shoulders with studded decoration, floral appliqué with crystal and sequin details and featuring a white lily and yellow lining. I wanted to create something that had a medieval edge but really fell into a distinctly more "fantasy" vibe. The group colours were the basis for the design and then I built it from there. :) #larpoutfit #larpcommission #empirelrp #larp #costume #troubador #knighterrant #fantasycoat https://www.instagram.com/p/CFj7f2uDTqM/?igshid=138pil8rs5xp7

WIP Teaser: Knight Errant (#A #Fantasy #WLW)

Seven years ago, Lady Sarra Mendi refused the knight’s oath, turned her back on King and the Knight Corps that trained her, and became knight errant. She roams the land, by turns wandering bard, hired brawn, or brash adventurer, beholden to none, disdained by all who knew her.

But it’s all a ruse! 

Sarra was recruited by the royal spy-master, and now works in the shadows  against an insidious enemy: the High Prelate of Scania himself. For years she’s foiled his schemes, a clever, invisible pebble in the gears of his conspiracy, at once protecting the land and pursuing vengeance for her father’s murder...

But the High Prelate is a cunning adversary!

When a distant cousin lays a claim on her family estate, Sarra suspects a trap to lure her in the open. But her family home--her last link to her old life and good name--means too much to Sarra: though she knows she’s risking her life and  mission, she returns to court, a despised knight errant, to challenge the claim. 

But she can’t do it alone!

At court, Sarra finds only contempt, and little recourse for a disgraced knight to defend her inheritance. A few friends want to help -- but stubborn, and hurt by many years alone, Sarra won’t trust anyone. Yet, with the High Prelate out for blood, her boss hatching schemes, and every knight and courtier determined to hate her, her cunning and formidable skills may not be enough to win, this time. 

But mo’ friends mo’ problems! 

To stay alive, regain her home, and foil the Prelate’s treason, Sarra will have to remember her family motto, and the first rule of knight-training: you never fight alone. Which, it turns out, is not an easy pill for a knight-errant to swallow...

Time to get creative!

Back against the wall, Sarra decides she’s done working from the shadows. She plants herself unabashedly before the court that hates her, brazenly flouting their disdain, and the spy-master’s orders, in the pursuit of her wishes. 

But is she finally embracing the life of a true knight errant, or has she concocted some clever scheme? And how will she reconcile her newfound disregard of everyone, with the growing intimacy between her and the Citadel knight-healer, or with the duckling knight-to-be she’s accidentally picked up? 

If this sounds up your alley, you can check out the Knight Errant tag here! Also Sarra’s OC Intro and Ahni’s OC Intro, and a short Sarra/Ahni snippet.

Knocked together an old friend, today! A long time ago, before I made an Instagram and was just knocking around online, I absolutely hyperfixated on Endryd Haar, the Riven Hound, and the characters of Josh Reynolds' Blackshield novels. In fact, my username in quite a lot of places is still RivenHound (with a scattering of Deakons and Ordo Scriptuses here and there). Hell, if I recall correctly, the only reason I'm not RivenHound on IG was because it was already taken! Regardless, I've spent a long time imagining how I would make my own version of Haar. When Watch Captain Artemis came out in plastic, I bought him specifically for this conversion - but here we are, years later, and the model was half built and lost in a pile of half-forgotten projects. Finally built, loosely based on the artwork from the Short Story and Audio book covers. He's going to have pride of place in my display case when he's finished. #paintingwarhammer #warhammercommunity #gamesworkshop #warhammer30k #horusheresy #horusheresy2point0 #blackshields30k #blackshields #endrydhaar #rivenhound #knighterrant #hobbystreak #hobbystreakday429 (at Wakefield) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnkRl-vtI5b/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“Steel yourself, hero. The hard part is only beginning.” 🗡️🛡️

A larger than life knight, looking for a way to retire her long road of service. But old habits die hard. Having a time creating, playing, and drawing these characters!
