eb693 Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 I'd really like to improve my painting - this is the most recent model of note that I've finished, any advice would be very much appreciated! http://i783.photobucket.com/albums/yy120/eabowles/gk-gm1.jpg Apologies for the slight blurriness: http://i783.photobucket.com/albums/yy120/eabowles/gk-gm2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malignus Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 It looks really good, I think. The paint looks pretty even and smooth, and the gold has been put down nicely as well. The only problem that I have with it is that the Grey Knights tend to have blue eyes rather than red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarInHeaven Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 by mine (and this site) standards this is prity damn sweet! the only thing i can say is that i woud give the helbard a color, rather then the 'lava rivers' thingy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm tempted to just repaint it entirely grey with a blue wash or something... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eb693 Posted April 25, 2010 Author Share Posted April 25, 2010 Here's the new halberd! http://i783.photobucket.com/albums/yy120/eabowles/newhalberd.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justicar Valius Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 Apart from the pics looking a bit dark he looks great. Red eyes have been done on GK before, Inquisitor Lord Hector Rex poster from FW has GKT in the background with red eyes.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Validar Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 looks awesome! How do you do the purity seals? They appear to be very bright red? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eb693 Posted April 26, 2010 Author Share Posted April 26, 2010 How do you do the purity seals? They appear to be very bright red? Thanks :D as for the purity seals, if I remember correctly that's a mechrite red base, baal red wash, followed by a blood red highlight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarInHeaven Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 ;) very nice, got some more of those? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eb693 Posted April 27, 2010 Author Share Posted April 27, 2010 I did my GKT's a little while ago when my painting was much worse. Also, I was using metallic paints, which I have fallen out of love with slightly. I've stripped the paint from a few, and I'll be reassembling/repainting them in the same style over the next few days. I'll post pictures as I finish them!

Brother_Kaelgrim Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Fantastic GKT there. I love the highlights and the overall very smooth look to your mini. Any reason why you are no longer liking metallics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eb693 Posted April 27, 2010 Author Share Posted April 27, 2010 Awesome, thank you :lol: I worked long and hard on this one. No reason specifically; I thought I'd give NMM a go, and decided that I prefer the darker colour to the heavily painted Shiny Marines I had been using. I painted the main body of a GKT I (badly) stripped, so it'll be interested to see reactions concerning this far inferior paint job. This one I'm working on is designed for table top use only, definitely not something to be displayed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
