This is working out well. It’s very easy to do ( if you forgive the wonky lines). I could use tape but pfffft. Bit of the old “Battle damage” and none the wiser.

I'd experiment on a piece of painted sprue, or spare caepe first, but washing Carroburg Crimson over your Ghost Scheme might do what you're after, just be 100% sure the Ghost scheme is dry before doing the wash.

I'd was thinking perhaps some recess shading to really darken the shadows and then either an all over drybrush of runefang steel or that colour on the pauldron rims, halo, the rim of the shield and maybe the shield emblem.

There's a couple of things you can do to help Spray Prime insub-optimal conditions 1- warm the can for ~2mins in a pot of warm water, like tap hot, not boiling. 2- Shake thoroughly, 1-2mins, flipping the can end on end every 30secs or so. 3- Don't spray in direct sunlight 4- Spray a sprue first, if it's fuzzy, this means the spray is drying in the air on the way. Try again spraying closer, go slow, move closer at 1.5inches (~3/4cm) at a time until you find the sweet spot.

Land speeder finished to a good enough standard. I’m pleased with the choice of dazzle camo. Here. I’ve realised I’m not such a fan of the look of these floaty vehicles. I have this and an Impulsor kit. It seemed that an Impulsor was de rigour for an army but the tracked transports look better and hold more models. The floaty bits don’t indicate the “fly” keyword. You would think that a floaty impulsor would be “faster” than a tracked vehicle but the transports seem to have M12” across the board except the Vanilla Land Raider. Is it a points thing?

I don't know. I assumed praying to the Emperor would make them turn gold on their own. Maybe I should just play Grey Knights as they are supposed to be sprue colored anyways.

1, draws upon interesting lore, so I guess this a good place for create your own house 2, heresy 3, interesting, and could play into using imperial agents too 4, heresy 5, also interesting, so could par well with collecting adeptus mechanicus 6, further heresy

Personally, I vote for either 2 or 6. 2- Interesting idea, with plenty of ways to incorporate unique kitbashes using AoS Nighthaunt models to show spirits of dead enemies and allies. Probably a fairly easy way to paint up a large amount of units once you get going, as most of the Knights will stay with the same scheme and you can batch-paint. 6- Very classic knightly choice, works well as a Freeblade Company. Lots of options for a colorful set of Knights with everything pretty much decided for you based on the Authurian legend colors. It really comes down to variety versus originality for me. I lean towards the weird and unique, so I like the ghostly "Knight House of the Damned" theme.

At 1K you got some decent AT with the Ballistus and landspeeder. Also with how Oath of Moment works that +1 to wound will make even the basic intercessor do decent against armour. Especially if you focus fire. Personally I'd make the two 5 man intercessors one 10 man, but that is me. Rest seems fine.

Looks great!

Very nice

Did a test sprue: primed Grey Seer with Hexwraith Flame wash. Just to get a feel for things.

I would do the Crimson, and see how it looks, then maybe add the dry brush if you feel it should have it

I'm still thinking white. But let's see the Carroburg Crimson first.

That's my thought.

Great job. If you don't like dirty Plague Marines, you could make them glossy and wet looking.

Good job!

Couldn't you use a wash for the recesses then drush brush on some white?

about time the warp has some real good guys

Just trying to give a little life to my ghostly Custodes.

Kill her sibilings and take over the world .....

What does she do with all that extra brain power?

I know your Grey Knights are meant to be a secret chapter, but I didn't think you'd hide them under a pile of new Necromunda sprues... Honestly, if you are going to paint a skeleton or skulls over the armour, check out how the Battletech players do it for their Atlases.

Thanks mate, it’s surprisingly easy to do if you’re not too worried about crisp straight lines. I just fill a No1 brush and draw triangles, pretty much. Then it’s colouring in time. You can go over wobbly bits on the second coat if you can be bothered. I’m learning that photos make the paint and joins look much worse Interesting about the vibe. I look on the early editions of WH which was quite punk/rock but yeah in the 2000’s and certainly 5th edition it was all grimdark, gothic.

That's one striking paint scheme. I'm glad I found your blog. I particularly like the stripes - it must've been a pain to paint them. The livery on this vehicle isn't obviously 40k - it gives more modern/cyberpunky vibe. Don't take it as a criticism, though. I like that a lot.

That is nice! I really like it

Looking good!

Nice, cant wait to see the army

It is off to good start.

They've turned out really well

Looks Great!

Very nice! Can't wait to see more.

The color shift looks very interesting. This is the sword of Kin Named hero?

So I purchased them from Impatient Tabletop. Authority Just Skulls They were for other projects otherwise I would have purchased these ones. Inquisition Skulls I will say I do prefer The Mighty Brush decals over Impatient Tabletop decals as, @LutherMax does a great job and his do not need much trimming but he did not have the Inquisition logos.

And here is finished one.

Now I'm curious if it's a 28mm scale model. A bit too detailed.

Oh right, I completely missed that. Maybe Death Company is better

I love that sunbeam yellow colour, which paints did you use? :)

What inparticular makes you lean Dark Angels? Just curious.

Thanks for the advice. This is helping me narrow this list down to something managable... because I need to start on this before I get distracted... again. Hmmm... with those transfers from White Dwarf I could do Dawn of War Knights...

I am in the same boat with wanting to do my 2 Armigers in House of Steel (no official Scheme) or as Free blades attached to the Inquisition. The Legio kits are amazing but $50 shipping hurts. Taro Modelmaker has some parts and are in the UK. I like the Shore Patrol idea but feel the Knights of the Grail is my 2nd favorite and the Revenants are my 1st.

As a fun of African corps of booth side I vote for house Jerboa! It's could be easy to paint, and pretty fresh for knights. But this makes me create own chaos knights warband lead by Erwin The chaos Fox...

Strategum and character bonuses. MSU is still a thing and decent to run. Strats can only be used once per unit, per phase. Which since I use detachments that effect shooting mostly (Anvil Siege force) larger units makes sense. I did a little digging into your detachment (Reclaimers) and yeah, your good with the smaller units. Your strats are mostly melee and defensive.

I did have a look at it a while ago but it hadn’t been updated to 11th, so I'll go check it out thanks for the tip

Have you tried New Recruit army builder? There is some glitches in but it is not bad if you don't have the code. I can't wait to see what you do with your Marines, @Snakes of Ithaka

Great work on the Redemptor, It's come out really well.

Those Ikarus upgrade kits look amazing, I’m not overly fond of the newer primaris vehicles but they certainly improve them, I wonder how much shipping to the UK is.

What about Gold and Green? This way I don't step on the toes of Salamanders or Black Templars.
