LeeHarvey Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 I converted the Grandmaster from a standard Grey Knight terminator. A lot of sculpting and a bit of scratchbuilding went into him. The retinue is unconverted. I painted them bronze because I had never seen them this color before and I thought it would be a nice departure from the standard GK fare of bright silver or NMM greys. I'm pleased with the outcome and I hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I enjoyed painting them.

Basilius Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Grey Knights are Grey/Silver if you want to stick to the fluff, but I can't deny the level of your skill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qu1f Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 A nice change from the boring silver. Whats the recipe of the Bronze mate? Also how did you paint the sword blade mate? Looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJB Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Impressive, very well done Only thing I'd change is the shields look a bit plain in comparison to the well painted and detailed armour, but thats only a minor thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grand Master Tchezzarus Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Awesome! A "simple", yet really effective conversion on your GM! And for those who tell you Grey Knight are "grey, period", just tell them they are Adeptus Custodes, using GK rules! Your bronze scheme is really great! Tchezz.

Peredyne Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Somewhere in my lapsing brain (just turned 40) I can vaguely remember seeing the original GK termies painted in this scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominar_Mortis Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 nice heraldry on the BC, where is that little skull from? i'm liking the colour scheme it's a nice departure from the silver DM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Toddius Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Beautiful work, bro. I've always thought that the reason they are called "Grey" Knights is because they are the best defence from darkness and stand boldly between the Dark and the Light. Hence the term "Grey". So as such you could invariably paint them whatever scheme you feel is right. And I believe this bronze gives them and ancient veteren look and really makes them feel like the elite terminators that they are. Well Done. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megalodon Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 They look fantastic! I like the alternative color, besides to all the silver color champions; Grey Knights were in Black armor with red as an accenting color in their IA back in the day!

Messanger of Death Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Been waiting for your bandwidth issue with photobucket to be fixed so I could see what you came up with. They look stunning, espeically the Grand Master conversion. Very simple but effective, and shows how purity seals really improve a model if used appropriately. The bronze looks almost gold which makes them look all the more better. Messanger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cpt_Reaper Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 I immediately knew it was a Grand Master and retinue by their colour. In the Codex it says next to their entry that to represent them you can paint them another colour. And bronze would make them stand out on the battlefield as important in a sea of gun-metal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n00bk1ng Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Amazing... Simply stunning and I do agree with you, I've seen NMM Grey GK's, classic GKs in Boltgun, White Angel GKs, even golden GKs and of course my-not-so-well-done Evil GKT...... But I've have never seen Bronze done that stunning in a very long time... *gives standing ovation* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
