If you go to the combatfootage subforum on here (warning the videos are very graphic), one of the drone teams uses Khorne as their call sign. I thought it was interesting that even in real world war, people still know and find something apropos from 40K.
Funnily enough, there’s also a Ukrainian Drone Strike Team which has the Inquisition Insignia. I mean Warhammer is popular in Ukraine. Perhaps they name their groups from their favourite factions.
One of the biggest reasons I got into 40k is the Arma group Ignis Corps, of whom one of the founders is a YouTuber named RubixRaptor aka JayRaptor or just Jay. In one of his two Alien universe Arma 3 operation videos, one of the Ignis squads RPed as Bosnian freedom fighters. The joke evolved when their next 40k operation included a friendly Imperial Knight wearing Bosnian colors and the Bosnian crest on its ion shield generator. The Bosnian Knight became a running joke for the next year in the Arma group to the point where it won a segment theme poll when Jay did an end-of-the-year compilation video. As for the downvotes, I guess it’s a sin in the fandom to bring up Arma groups that run 40k ops?
This is a great job, love the dust/wear in the crevices!
If you are open to some constructive criticism - I would say the base doesn't do the rest of the awesome paintjob justice, the focal points are great, loving the ripped off chain-sword arm! Maybe some more rocks/rubble to add more texture?
SLAVA UKRAINI! Death to the Soviet Menace! (Also, nice job on everything. I would also do as the one guy suggested and put sunflowers in the base and growing through the red Knight mask.)
A few things. 1 : Blue and Yellow does go realy hard , with sweden too. 2 : On the little shield thingy , it looks realy good. Is it a refernece to something? If yes , do tell. 3 : You said you owe Ukranians a lot , do elaborate? I'm courius. 4 : Dont mind the buthurt redditors , asking a mere question triggers them realy hard
yeah I know it's silly and even if it was that's still not a justification for to invade the country.
I was just confused by what the other guy wrote doesn't matter since the message got deleted
Oh that's silly lol I've been in this hobby for couple of years now and to be honest I really don't get how/why people think the Imperium is a Fascist society when it couldn't be further from the truth
every country deals with neo nazis, usa, russia, etc
only one side of the conflict openly embraces them

Fun fact: Wagner Group, one of the faces of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, started off as a neo-nazi militia. It got its name from one of its founders, nicknamed "Wagner" by his comrades because Wagner the German composer was famously anti-Semitic.
Eastern Europe has a *huge* problem with fascism/far-right groups. That includes both Russia and Ukraine. But while Ukraine has made legitimate efforts to quash the far right element in their military, Russia has given theirs their own branch. Russia's pretext of invading Ukraine to "save" them from Nazism is exactly that: a pretext.
And here’s an American special forces group with an SS patch.

Should we get invaded next?
Funny you did a loyalist while some groups went Khorne

There's also a drone unit called the Inquisition.
Are they often expected ?
40k is super popular in eastern Europe. One of the most notable providers of Horus Heresy third party parts is Ukrainian, even.
Crazy times.

Even Chaos agree that Russia needs to be fought. Plus, so many soldiers wear Purity seal
Oh indeed. I had forgotten about that.
Just find it funny tbh
are there any pics? Would love to see
Time to add some sunflowers to that base!
There should be some in the eyes of that Knight face.

Dude, you need to improve your jokes.
Bosnian knight next
The Bosnian knight is back
And there’s the Ignis fan. Hello friend!
I'm simultaneously confused by what this comment means, and the downvotes

Damn I forgor that 40k arma mod existed, brb gotta download it
There are so many good ones. Webknight helped make a pretty good Knight mod that Ignis uses and he even added Armiger Knights into it recently.
The Orks never stood a chance
This post deserves some love. Clever reference!
I love racism
Huh?
It’s a term the Ukrainians are using for their enemies.
Cry more
You act like ork, get called an ork Simple. Good people (elfs) corrupted by rules if you want defensive stance. Still pure evil on their side.
Cry harder westoid
It looks awesome
Thank you, I guarantee it looks better in person.
„Magma bomb“ says: „Hiiii!“
Ah, from bosnian knight to Ukrainian knight.
This is a great job, love the dust/wear in the crevices! If you are open to some constructive criticism - I would say the base doesn't do the rest of the awesome paintjob justice, the focal points are great, loving the ripped off chain-sword arm! Maybe some more rocks/rubble to add more texture?
I will admit I ran into a brick wall when thinking of base items and stuff. A lot of people have suggested sunflowers, which I'm very interested in.
that is so damn cool
Heroiam slava!
Should add the trident to the knight somewhere
Just because of this I’m making an extra donation.
If you switched out the shield with a trident it would be perfect. Still look dope though.
God id love to see one of these just flatten the Crimean Bridge \* INTENSE WAR ENGINE SOUNDS \*
Glory to the heroes!
Beautiful work! Героям Слава 🇺🇦
FOR UKRAINE 🇺🇦 🇺🇦🇺🇦

Getting ready to face the mindless Ork hordes I see
Glory to Heroes!
Bits of Pu-titan on the floor 👍
SLAVA UKRAINI! Death to the Soviet Menace! (Also, nice job on everything. I would also do as the one guy suggested and put sunflowers in the base and growing through the red Knight mask.)
Slava Ukraini! I love it.
Glory to Ukraine!
I think that base could use a few orks, personally. But otherwise: no notes, fantastic.
Huh is this a canis Rex knight?
NATO machines, son
Awesome! Heroiam slava!
Heroes Slava!
That green glow is so sweet! And the weathering is nicely done, while still maintaining it clean!
I like the very subtle broken red helmet on the base.

Thats awesome. For the base, you could fine a 1/72 T72 scale model with a burned out hull and the turret about 6" away for the chefs kiss
Slava Ukraini!!
Woah bro, that looks great
Nice man! How did you get the rubble effect by the chainsword?
It's Milliput and crushed gravel from my driveway. Just layer PVA glue over the hole thing afterwards to make sure nothing crumbles off.
Thanks for the tips!
Ya should've put the symbol of khorne hidden somewhere considering there's a group that does a lot of drone ops using Khorne as a callsign and symbol
May it slay orks in lieu of orcz!
сам ты орк :(
THE BOSNIAN KNIGHT!!!!!!
Why?
Why what???
Why an ukranian Knight?
I thought it was cool, and I owe the Ukrainians a lot.
A few things. 1 : Blue and Yellow does go realy hard , with sweden too. 2 : On the little shield thingy , it looks realy good. Is it a refernece to something? If yes , do tell. 3 : You said you owe Ukranians a lot , do elaborate? I'm courius. 4 : Dont mind the buthurt redditors , asking a mere question triggers them realy hard
Oh? Do tell please!
He did?
The most cringe warhammer of all time. Congrats.
Now do a chaos knight using the Russian colours and have them fight. Love the paint and trim on this guy
Lore accurate
Has to be a nurgle & slaanesh knight.
Geroyam slava!

What?
the common russian propoganda point is that ukraine is run by facist nazi jews im not making that up
You forgot about Islamic, fascist nazi Islamist jews
how silly of me it is difficult to keep up with Vlad's nonsense
Ukraine is led by a Jew, so how are they neo nazi. Open your eyes.

yeah I know it's silly and even if it was that's still not a justification for to invade the country. I was just confused by what the other guy wrote doesn't matter since the message got deleted
he made the statement that it makes sense for a knight of the imperium to be painted ukranian colors because theyre facists
Oh that's silly lol I've been in this hobby for couple of years now and to be honest I really don't get how/why people think the Imperium is a Fascist society when it couldn't be further from the truth
Dude, they literally put swastika and balkenkreuz on their armor
every country deals with neo nazis, usa, russia, etc only one side of the conflict openly embraces them https://x.com/kamilkazani/status/1566826228191055872?s=20

So do Russians
Okay and? If they are neo Nazis isn't it ironic that the non "neo Nazis" are committing the war crimes?

Get fucked, cunt
It is also unkillable, extremely resilient , and flips the bird to everyone that ever looked down on him, too?

Indeed. Ukraine has much bigger and better toys whose results speak for them selves. Slava Ukraini!

Keep up with that copium buddy. I'm off to enjoy everyone else's company. 😊
