Soooo, had this up and running on the old Og forum, so I now have a fresh slate and access to a slightly better camera compared to what I posted before. ...and why not start with a bang. I present, in glorious Technicolour, my completed House Hawkshroud Imperial Knight, allied to my 2nd Company Blood Angels. Picture dump inbound...

"Emperor's Sanction" - Knight Errant, House Hawkshroud
Emperor's Sanction, piloted by Jenniker Mortavlon (unusually a female pilot), has had an illustrious history but she has recently suffered at the hands of a particularly zealous Magos of the Mechanicum. A recent incursion of Ork Raiders on the agri-world of Celestrin Prime resulted in a high number of Mechanicus assets, both military and material, being destroyed - despite the Imperium ultimately being victorious. Petitioning her father, Baron Mortavlon, and laying the blame squarely at Jenniker's feet, the Magos demanded she be banished from the House and her Knight be handed over to his forge as recompense for his losses. Instead, and not wanting to lose face or standing at Court, her father sent her on a penitent crusade oathing her to the Blood Angels 2nd Company under Captain Aphael (who also fought in the defence of Celestrin), and stripped her of her House colours.
Hence, despite bearing many of the usual icons and heraldry of a Hawkshroud Knight, the traditional yellow has been replaced with white wash as a mark of shame. Many at Court believe it is only a matter of time before Jenniker turns from the House completely, to tread the path of a Freeblade, but they underestimate her tenacity and desire to win back her colours, and her honour. Her oath to the 2nd Company has lasted many years and the relationship between the two has been immensely successful, with Captain Aphael valuing very highly the power and speed she brings to the conflicts they have shared.
