Grabsnikk Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 So I have been painting my Grey Knights Land Raider on and off for the the last 2 weeks but it is finally finished and I just thought that I would share what I have done with everyone here. Here are the results of my labours: http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb113/Grabsnikk/LRFront.jpg http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb113/Grabsnikk/LeftScrollwork.jpg http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb113/Grabsnikk/LRLeftHeraldy.jpg http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb113/Grabsnikk/LRLeftIcon.jpg http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb113/Grabsnikk/LRLeftSide.jpg http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb113/Grabsnikk/LRLeftSword.jpg http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb113/Grabsnikk/LRRightHeraldy.jpg http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb113/Grabsnikk/LRRightIcon.jpg http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb113/Grabsnikk/LRRightSide.jpg http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb113/Grabsnikk/RightScrollwork.jpg http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb113/Grabsnikk/LRTopView.jpg C&C welcome Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/186674-dh-grey-knights-land-raider/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niiai Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 I like it a lott. Especialy all the books and scripytures. How ever you can *dirt* it up a bit. Flat colour (one layer with the same shade) does not work so well on sutch large surfaces.

Uncle Mel Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Nice scrollwork and gold on the lascannons, I am not too fond of the red on the sponsons and top, but to each their taste. Mel P.S. Could you please post smaller pics, just resize them in paint or something or use photobuckets auto sizing feature.

Empty Bolter Clip Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 As mentioned, great work on the scrolls and other freehand elements. I giggled a little with your use of the skull/wings on the door to form part of the sword, that was pretty creative. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/186674-dh-grey-knights-land-raider/#findComment-2207758 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inquisitor Fox Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Grabsnikk, First, I have to officially request that as per Uncle Mel's comment you adjust the size of your posted pic's. My browser had to downsize them to approximately 19% of their actual size for them to look appropriate. You should be able to accomplish this with most graphic editors, even some of the pre-installed programs already on Windows (I can't speak for Mac's). I'd hate to have to remove them or something when they look that nice ;) Second, nice Land Raider! I always enjoy seeing some of the GK Land Raiders, as my Inquisition Land Raider is really just a bunch of red and black. I think the black section in the middle helps break up the monotony of a chrome Raider really nicely, and I like your freehand scrolls and lettering. The heraldry is also very nice :) My only bit of advice would be to add text to the book on the doors.. I tend to do a bit of a 'doctor's scrawl/scribble' for my text.. kind of a wavy black line that implies letters without actually being readable. Otherwise keep up the good work!

Magnus Thane Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Great job on the markings, scrolls and heraldry! Makes me jealous! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/186674-dh-grey-knights-land-raider/#findComment-2207948 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grabsnikk Posted December 8, 2009 Author Share Posted December 8, 2009 Thanks for the replies guys, I will indeed put some script on the Grey Knights Chapter symbols, I will be using scorched brown for this though as I feel that black lettering just looks a bit funny and unrealistic most of the time. I have resized the pics so hopefully they are better now.

Inquisitor Fox Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Yup, pics loaded just fine and a Lot quicker too, thank you for the quick action. :D Brown text would work well also, possibly better. I haven't tried brown myself.. I'll remember that the next time I need to do some.

Typical Cricket Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Nice job, but I do have a few criticisms: Firstly, I see what you're trying to do with the blue wash on the steel bits, but I think you should have watered down the blue and/or followed up with a black wash as well. Also, when working with washes, it's really important to apply it evenly and lay the model in a way so that you won't get the washes pooling up where you don't want it to, which is what it looks like is happening in some of the areas. A little bit of uniformity would also be nice - the red and white areas look stark and unshaded without a wash, especially since the tracks and steel areas have it. Speaking of white, it's hard to get it to come out just right, but you managed to do a fairly decent job of it, so kudos to you! The freehand is excellent - particularly on the door, and I think the integration of the winged skull into the sword was a great idea. I am, however, somewhat disappointed by the lack thereof on the other side, although I realize that the relief work is different. It could just be the symmetry Nazi in me talking. :S Overall great work, and I look forward to seeing more!

Gubnutz Da Grim Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 This is a nice piece. I love the freehand stuff. The colors work, I prefer a dirty look overall but that is a matter of taste and I can see the GK keeping it clean though so it works.
