Disruptor_fe404 Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 I like what you've done with the Land Raider's interior, and the Dreadnaught's assault cannon. The camera phone really does wash out a lot of details and makes some of the black look like green though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seleucus Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 They look good, as they are, but I would paint, or add definition by washing the brass icons etc from Forgeworld - on the LR at least. Regarding your belief that they are black armoured, this is not true, if you look closely at IA II you will see that they are actually VERY dark grey, and this was the original colour sceme used by GW when they brought out their first GK models - those with the massive heads and two-handed halberds. When GW released the current GK models, they changed the scheme to the current oily blue steel. Whilst the latest scheme is more dramatic, I prefer the old 'off black' grey of the originals. It would not take much, just a light dry-brush of a dark grey to bring your vehicles to this colour, with a codex/forteress grey highlight on the edges.

Swordlord Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 For washes on brass & bronze, I make a mixture of 2 parts brown (the new sienna wash is nice) and 1 part dark green. This mixture, when applied ini light layers, gives a feeling of aged-patina, rather than soil or a true verdigris. The kind of finish you'd expect on brass/bronze that's been cared for, but that time has left its mark upon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rival Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 I like the look of the LR, but I don't like the black GK's. They aren't black in any company, for that matter I'm not even sure they have companies. In reality its doubtful the GK's are arranged in the 1000 man/10 company setup. The =][= can easily work around this, and only having 1000 Gk's would be pretty bad when you are defending an empire as big as a galaxy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Espada Azul Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 I was under the impression the 'Black Armored' Grey Knights was sort of a rumor instead of being actual fact. Also, while IA does mention the fact that the Grey Knights have 'companies' they are very likely larger (on several magnitudes, though smaller than the total number of Black Templars) than your standard Codex Chapter.

BrianBlessed Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Looks good. Its nice to see some Grey Knights for a change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Validus Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Holy <DELETED BY THE INQUISITION>, I've the same desk than u. Your models are good but as the others adviced, I would like to see more highlights to contrast them more. Even if you want them dark, they are called grey knignts after all :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
