Simoleo-Brother marine Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I've been a DA player for a while now, and after reading 'The Killing Ground' I liked the GK part of it (the ultra part was alright) I then decided to go out and buy the DH codex and some GK And here they are: http://i40.tinypic.com/1900v8.jpg [/clearfloat]Group shot http://i43.tinypic.com/qxmpop.jpg Justicar http://i44.tinypic.com/5l49qf.jpg Two Grey Knights http://i43.tinypic.com/24fxl5k.jpg [clearfloat] Incinerator Knight and battle brother C+C welcome :( -Simoleo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nexusnight Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 not bad not bad. I like your models they are painted very well. I used one of those guys to make my librarian for my Dark Angels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurglephill Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 they look ok. nice simple scheme, solid paint job. i would suggest using washes on the silver. black in the extreeme corners and a light blue wash to give the silver some life.

I have got it off him now tho ;) -Simoleo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hubernator Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 @Hubernator: When basing goes wrong! I have got it off him now tho :P I can sympathise. The grass I've been using to base my scouts keeps sticking to the legs :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simoleo-Brother marine Posted January 29, 2009 Author Share Posted January 29, 2009 @Skirax: Not just yet mate, but thanks :P @Hubernator: It's annoying, but I'm working around it ;) -Simoleo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hendrik Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 it's a shame about tha bases actually, thye kinda ruin the miniature how about making the basing before you atatch the mini? i also suggest you use some sand and put the grass over it further keep up the good work;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simoleo-Brother marine Posted January 30, 2009 Author Share Posted January 30, 2009 @hendrik: Thanks for the kind comment and the advice. I will do what I can to sort the bases out :) I also decided to post something else on here. I know the model isn't a grey knight, or even a Daemonhunter for that matter. But she's an inquisitor so I thought I would put her in here. http://i42.tinypic.com/2n1tk0l.jpg Inquisitor Jones :) One of those dodgy bases again tho -_- C+C welcome again Also, if anyone has any requests for DA models to go on here I'll put them up here if I have them. :) So feel free to ask away :tu: -Simoleo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peakey Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Try using washes to add depth,and then maybe some highlights? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tesama Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 they look cool, but yeah you should use different metals like chainmail and mithril silver in different places to add affect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simoleo-Brother marine Posted February 1, 2009 Author Share Posted February 1, 2009 @ Tesama: Thanks mate :) I used boltgun metal for the armour and mithril silver on the nemesis force weapons and storm bolter ammo trails to show its holiness and purity :P It's not that easy to see on the pictures though -Simoleo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simoleo-Brother marine Posted February 15, 2009 Author Share Posted February 15, 2009 Update time! :P Firstly, some new additions to the squad ;) http://i39.tinypic.com/2nk1maf.jpg [/clearfloat]psycannon grey knight http://i42.tinypic.com/avm1c7.jpg two more knights for the squad http://i44.tinypic.com/1448r9g.jpg [clearfloat] And the squad with additions I intend to get this squad up to ten men before moving onto something else. I'm torn between another PAGK squad or a GKT squad after this. Any advice on that? Also, does anyone know how to do some serious conversion work on Grey Knights? Because just altering the position of the nemesis force weapons gets slightly boring and isn't enough for me in making each model unique.

Simoleo-Brother marine Posted February 17, 2009 Author Share Posted February 17, 2009 @Skirax: Of course I am :) Without your generosity there wouldn't have even been an update :P -Simoleo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boomsly Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 not a bad start, i would suggest a watered down blue wash on the armour to give more depth, and then try a faint chainmail highlight on the edges ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simoleo-Brother marine Posted February 17, 2009 Author Share Posted February 17, 2009 @wargamingbunker: A nice idea, I may try that out when I get some GKT. Due to their price I want them to look amazing, so I feel I get my moneys worth. :) -Simoleo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesama Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 This is what you could do, you could add a very small bit of burnished/shining gold around the edges where there isn't gold, this could represent power radiating from them or that the're very holy. Failing that just use some washes to add to the shine of the model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simoleo-Brother marine Posted May 10, 2009 Author Share Posted May 10, 2009 Woahh, it's been ages since I updated this. Anyway, I gained the two grey knights I needed to complete Squad Simoleo: http://i43.tinypic.com/1jufki.jpg And here is the completed squad: http://i44.tinypic.com/bdwj9z.jpg And now something a bit more special, my first ever GKT! Here stands Brother Zeus: http://i40.tinypic.com/mhpq2u.jpg In my first game with these guys he stood in as a GM, simply for points and kickassness :P Here's the entire army so far: http://i42.tinypic.com/28v7dyu.jpg I fought my first battle with these guys last friday, accompanied by some loyal deathwing and C:SM :) It was a resounding victory over the guard, one which me and my friend are proud of :D My next purchase for the GK will be next week, I'm buying nine GK all armed with NFW and SB. I may then purchase a GK with incinerator to go with them. Regardless, I will update on here as soon as I have them. :) It's also my birthday soon. GKT here i come! ;) C+C as always (and I know the inquisitor isnt DH, but I still like her :)) -Simoleo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirax Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Yep, that was a resounding victory... Nice, I like the GKT especially, though he didn't do well, he died to a Guardsmen, I laughed myself silly at that. He had faced down a hail of fire from a Baneblade, then a Guardsman punched him in a bruise and he goes, 'Oww, my little boo-boo!' :) Woops, forget to mention the models, boy is my face red :D Yeah, they look good, they perform well. And since you're getting a 10 more, we'll each have 20 men (or women) of the Inquisition, and we can go on a holy crusade. Back on the models, nice detail, however your armour tends to look slightly darker in the picture, maybe that's just the camera? I don't know... do you highlight? Maybe the odd peice of Mithril Silver round the edges? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simoleo-Brother marine Posted May 12, 2009 Author Share Posted May 12, 2009 @Skirax: That is the camera, I thought you would know that having seem them first hand <_< I may add some more mithril on the models though to lighten them up. -Simoleo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEanBOb Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 As it has been said numerous times before, washes, washes, washes. Washes are your friend. They will make your metals look 100% better and its such a simple step. For grey knights I would suggest a badab black wash followed by a wash of asurmen blue on the armor. Wash the gold with sepia. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firenze Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 My guard can kill with lasguns. Its amazing that a GKGM died to a laspistol.... As said before, washes. I am gonna get some soon enought to use over all my models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
