barry_hhh Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 hi all , i was recently diggin around in my old minis and found a few grey knights i had painted when the minis first came out , i hate leaving things unfinished (although i always have more than one unfinished thing going at one time) so i went and got 2 termies and an inquisitor to give them direction, i also decided to rebase them but somehow managed to get VERY carried away , i have started to make a diorama base for them , its going to be a secret inquisitorial base built into a mountain somewhere.... something different , its still very early on so far oh in the pic there is also a simple conversion of the psycannon guy , i head swapped him with a ravenwing biker if i remember correctly http://i278.photobucket.com/albums/kk108/barry_hhh/IMG_0646.jpg http://i278.photobucket.com/albums/kk108/barry_hhh/IMG_0655.jpg comments???

Fuhror Templar Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 very cool. i like the idea of the diorama base for your grey knights, although personally i think an awesome looking diorama like that deserves custom painted figures to go with the diorama, so it looks like it all works together Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/139902-old-grey-knights-made-new/#findComment-1617075 Share on other sites More sharing options...
barry_hhh Posted July 6, 2008 Author Share Posted July 6, 2008 in between painting many different models i have done some more work on this base for my grey knights , its starting to take shape http://i278.photobucket.com/albums/kk108/barry_hhh/IMG_0677.jpg http://i278.photobucket.com/albums/kk108/barry_hhh/IMG_0664.jpg still heaps of work to do on the crater but thats where its staying http://i278.photobucket.com/albums/kk108/barry_hhh/IMG_0668.jpg the guy in the third pic is the sentry , he has only been based coated , i have positioned 2 biker arms straighter so hey can use a keyboard , or what ever they have in 40k,,still alot of detail to go but you get more of an idea now OH YEAH , all the minis will be rebased to match and will be countersunk into the diorama Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/139902-old-grey-knights-made-new/#findComment-1620156 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frost Knight Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 cool base-thing. I think that the keyboard guy should be manning a turret but thats just my opinion Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/139902-old-grey-knights-made-new/#findComment-1620480 Share on other sites More sharing options...
barry_hhh Posted July 7, 2008 Author Share Posted July 7, 2008 i was thinking about adding a turret somewhere , but i was thinking that this base is more about stealth than anything , that guy is the sentry so maybe he needs a sentry gun ...back to the bitz box,,,what gun would fit?? a heavy flamer surely Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/139902-old-grey-knights-made-new/#findComment-1620607 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disistablishmentarianism Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Heavy Bolters spring to mind, they always seem to used as turrets. Nice work on the diorama, modles etc. I demand MORE!

Basilius Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Its amazing - nice idea for a non-play troop. Will look good on your shelf or in your display case. With regards placement, I like the patrol idea, but how about a couple of sentries secreted in the trees? Even Stormtroopers could work here for that - nice and camoed up.
