DarKHaZZ13 Posted September 17, 2010 Author Share Posted September 17, 2010 paintings fine. i'd just recomend some shading. like wash the gold with waterd down devlan mud. I've seem that chaplain/GM kinda ting before and I've gotta say it intrigues me. It isn't "epic" enough to be my grand master though (kinda already got the chaplain in termy armour in my SM army....would kinda look dodgy having it in both) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/210627-grey-knights-and-their-awesome-ability-of-boringness/page/2/#findComment-2514237 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bishoujo Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Yeah, those were actually the first models I ever really painted. My lack of knowledge back when I started painting really shows in these models. Lots of solid colors. No shading / highlighting / blending / weathering - and underusing my washes. My more recent marine project looks much nicer. :cuss Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/210627-grey-knights-and-their-awesome-ability-of-boringness/page/2/#findComment-2514558 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Holy Heretic Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 ...when you have more than a squad of them they look like, well.put it this way....its like having an army made of AOBR marines. THEY ALL LOOK THE SAME!! The best solution is to run no more than one squad of marines, as there are other options available in the codex - this makes your marines look special instead of being just silver marines :cuss Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/210627-grey-knights-and-their-awesome-ability-of-boringness/page/2/#findComment-2524895 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Holy Heretic Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Well, I do find the guard a lot cooler than a bunch of colour coded space boiz in power armour. Especially I like the contrast between having tough elites and soft cannonfodder :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/210627-grey-knights-and-their-awesome-ability-of-boringness/page/2/#findComment-2525424 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarKHaZZ13 Posted October 1, 2010 Author Share Posted October 1, 2010 i don't. from a modleing point of view a guardsman is just a human, and therefore it is quite limited on how you can interprate that via model form, where as space marines are genetically engineered superhuman giants in power amrour. more intresting to model in my opinion as far more can be achived and as to the 'colour coded space boiz in PA' comment. what? as apposed to a larger bunch of colour coded ignorant mortals running round wiht lazer pens and paper armour? Space marines don't have time for 'cannon fodder' and therefore their 'morals' (if you can call them that) are far more akin to the modern day army motto 'never leave a man behind' which gives them far more resepctability than the imperial grunts. anyway this is a discussion prodominatly focused on the Grey Knight models and possible aleternaitves/conversions, the Guard have no importance here or in this forum in general. After all it is a PA forum.

The Holy Heretic Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 i don't.from a modleing point of view a guardsman is just a human, and therefore it is quite limited on how you can interprate that via model form, where as space marines are genetically engineered superhuman giants in power amrour. more intresting to model in my opinion as far more can be achived Sure, everyones entitled to their opinion. I personally like how the inquisition is a good mix of power armour and softer guards. It makes for a diverse army. and as to the 'colour coded space boiz in PA' comment. what? as apposed to a larger bunch of colour coded ignorant mortals running round wiht lazer pens and paper armour? Again, mix and match for diversity. Adding one thing doesn't exclude the other. Space marines don't have time for 'cannon fodder' and therefore their 'morals' (if you can call them that) are far more akin to the modern day army motto 'never leave a man behind' which gives them far more resepctability than the imperial grunts. But the 40K universe is far from 'modern', its a feudal society based on superstition and ignorance. The marines are a bunch of fanatical zealots and fascists, hardly 'respectable' in my view. Fearsome perhaps, but that doesn't make them more than just a bunch of thugs. anywaythis is a discussion prodominatly focused on the Grey Knight models and possible aleternaitves/conversions, the Guard have no importance here or in this forum in general. After all it is a PA forum. Its a thread about lack of variety. And this part of the forum is dedicated to the Inquisition, which has a lot more options than just silvery space boiz.

DarKHaZZ13 Posted October 3, 2010 Author Share Posted October 3, 2010 well its a thread about the lack of variety in grey knights models. I would know, as i started the thread, and in my eyes, the guard have no importance when discussing the repetativeness of the grey knights model range. so please can we just keep this focused on the grey knights? as in those silvery space boiz? thanks Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/210627-grey-knights-and-their-awesome-ability-of-boringness/page/2/#findComment-2527425 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NExOBLIVISCARIS Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 those vibro glaives are amazing!!! and the grey knights can be converted from other marine ranges quite easily. their was one in a white dwarf(can't remember which one) where they use the dark angels robed models and attached some of the termie arms and then attached some bitz for a rather interesting looking model.

DarKHaZZ13 Posted October 6, 2010 Author Share Posted October 6, 2010 I'm at uni so i can't check my WD collection and I can't find any pictures/references online. however the B&C's WD list has a list of previous WD issue and 326 has an article called "Modeling Workshop: The Emperor's Finest, using Dark Angel bitz" which im assuming is where it would be.

asianavatar Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Here are some pictures of my grey knights and grey knight terminators. The terminators were made from a the AOBR terminators. The grey knights are based on the sanguinary guard bodies with conversions for the storm bolter and NFW. http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg15/asianavatar/Grey%20Knight%20Terminators/DSC00485.jpg http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg15/asianavatar/Grey%20Knight%20Terminators/DSC00493.jpg http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg15/asianavatar/Grey%20Knight%20Terminators/DSC00489.jpg http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg15/asianavatar/Grey%20Knight%20Terminators/DSC00494.jpg http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg15/asianavatar/grey%20knights/DSC00873.jpg http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg15/asianavatar/grey%20knights/DSC00869.jpg One before painting http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg15/asianavatar/grey%20knights/DSC00796.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/210627-grey-knights-and-their-awesome-ability-of-boringness/page/2/#findComment-2560621 Share on other sites More sharing options...
