rosja Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 hey hey, i'd like to post some of my WIP minis. Although they are ready to paint for some time now, i have been doing my vampire counts. Soon i'll try to paint one or two models (i'm a bit slow painter) unfortunately they have no storm bolters. Couldn't find any replacement, and making them myself is far beyond of my sculpting skill :( there are 8 of them in total. http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4047/4312833543_1d4d67fd6a_z.jpg http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4070/4313569368_e867a14991_b.jpg http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4070/4315245829_2290be6764_z.jpg?zz=1 http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4060/4315983684_f76b6ec4d9_z.jpg?zz=1 here's my attempt of reposing the dreadnought a bit :D http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2761/4315245949_61af2749c2.jpg http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4069/4315983804_a09fcde1f2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Mick Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I really like the ''self made'' Grey Knights, curious how they look painted. You allso did a nice job on that Dread. You have a new follower atleast :D . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosja Posted August 13, 2010 Author Share Posted August 13, 2010 here are some of my painted minis (although i'll replace their bases for the ones the GK are standing on. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3459/3272233142_ff9eefab3c_m.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3413/3271412491_250bb235d0_m.jpg the whole WH contingent: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3529/3274368752_3f4653726f_o.jpg oh and sorry for the quality of the photos - i'm not the best photographer around...

WarriorFish Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I like those GK models, they'll look even better when you get them painted too. Nice to see some WH units around, they look good and I especially like the Sister's banner as well. Great work! :D Though their bases are well done it looks a bit too busy when you get them together so they should look better as a unit when you replace their bases.

Captain Mick Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 From what i can see it looks great :D . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosja Posted August 18, 2010 Author Share Posted August 18, 2010 Thanks for comments. yes those bases attract too much attention, and are a bit "childish". I'd like to make more battle scarred theme in harsh enviroment (plain rocks with some ice). i hope that i'll post some WIP dreadnought photos today. It takes some time, but I wanted to try other color schemes for the vehicles and had to re-paint him 3 times (i'll stick to rusted silver after all). I'm also using pigments for rust effect for the first time as well :) i've made some closeups of previous minis - they were too small IMO. the banner: http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4074/4904360842_bf86212189.jpg the inquisitor and his retinue: http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4097/4903771455_bc7193959e_b.jpg arco flagellants (i have swapped their heads with servo skulls wo make them more eversor-like): http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4100/4904361004_a0ecd6bdcc_b.jpg cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Cool, thanks for the close up on the banner. It looks great! Not to be more annoying, but any chance of a picture of the Sister holding it too? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosja Posted August 18, 2010 Author Share Posted August 18, 2010 no problem at all, it will be the shot of the whole unit tho :) http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4116/4903971365_1ba3f622f6_b.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rosja Posted August 18, 2010 Author Share Posted August 18, 2010 as i've promised - heres the small update on the dreadnought. Photo only from 1 side (rest is similar - armor/rust mostly, no details yet). i'm rather happy with the rust effect that i've managed to accomplish thanks to many tutorials - hope you like it :wacko: http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4081/4905904296_ea0e90de12_b.jpg cheers!

rosja Posted August 18, 2010 Author Share Posted August 18, 2010 Kinda looks like Papa Nurgle gave him a hug! indeed :D i should paint nurgle - love the colors but... What am i saying - The Emperor Protects!!one of my land raiders that ive started is grey - not silver, with rust as well. Thats 100% Nurgle, and i'll have to repaint it as well :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Chaplain Astador Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Great start on the Dread. I love rusted dreadnoughts even though it doesn't fit the fluff especially for GK, it just looks cooler! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denrik Greymane Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 As many have said, awesome paint work, just not entirely fitting of the GK fluff. Great work though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Phoenix Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Looking good buddy, I to have been thinking of doing some kitbashed plastic GK's, I was planning on using the Sanguinary Guard angelus bolters as storm bolters : http://i.ebayimg.com/08/!BvypsVwCGk~$(KGrHqQOKigEwPnbKQpVBMG!FMYlWQ~~_12.JPG this might be a little late for you though :P.

rosja Posted August 19, 2010 Author Share Posted August 19, 2010 Oh they'd fit perfect, too bad that they released them a bit too late :/ On the second thought i dont know if it wouldn't be difficult for them to hold halberds with such bolters. Oh well if i'll add 1k points to my army some day and field one more unit of GK's i'll look for those arms - they are rly cool :P p.s. hope that i'll throw a photo or two of 2 plasma cannon servitors today. Getting cannons was a pain but had to be done. regards Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Thanks for the picture of the girls, they look great. The rust looks really good too. It's making me want to get painting, if only I didn't have the inconvenience of work :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosja Posted August 19, 2010 Author Share Posted August 19, 2010 so here are the servitors - i'll have to GS plasma cannons a bit - havent noticed the holes :/ sorry for the quality of photos - bad light... http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4118/4908284100_b87f459231.jpg http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4097/4908284518_0fdb390ca7_b.jpg i'd share with one of my termies that i'he painted earlier. I had 5 of them without hands so had to try to get some replacements - so excuse me that he's not perfect :D oh and the base was only experimental - they'll be different. http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4123/4908285086_1548c87913_z.jpg cheers!
