Liquid_awesomes Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 So i saw my old GKs sitting in my hobby box a few days ago, and decided they could do with some new paint. Originally i had painted them up in a drybrush gold and bronze style, but that was several years ago and my painting has come on a bit since then. Looking through some other PCA threads, I decided on this scheme: http://i631.photobucket.com/albums/uu32/iioi3/IMG_0503.jpg http://i631.photobucket.com/albums/uu32/iioi3/IMG_0504.jpg http://i631.photobucket.com/albums/uu32/iioi3/IMG_0505.jpg http://i631.photobucket.com/albums/uu32/iioi3/IMG_0506.jpg http://i631.photobucket.com/albums/uu32/iioi3/IMG_0507.jpg What do you think? I have 4 more terminators to do. Shall I continue with the fire? I was thinking about doing the same scheme but in blue/green/purple etc Ill write up some fluff too... All c&c welcome.

Brother Nihm Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 If there is one thing that looks better than those flames it is the glowing runes. Shall I continue with the fire? Go forth and conquer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plague Dave Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Brutal! These'll be the most unique GKs I've seen. That's for sure. I'll toss in my vote that you continue with the flames. Can't wait to see more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firepower Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 That's not a gray knight. It isn't gray. It is much better than gray. Much. Kudos, and keep the ball rolling! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Bear Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Simply amazing. Makes me wonder what you have in store for the vents on the rear. It seems--to me at least--that once those are done they will break up the black and help to balance the model, although even if you leave the rear black the model will still be amazing.

Liquid_awesomes Posted October 13, 2010 Author Share Posted October 13, 2010 Thanks for all the positive responses guys :). I think that I will continue the flame across the GKT squad, the only problem will be making them look distincitive yet uniform as a squad... Anyway, I painted up the incinerator arm, trying to do some blue flames on the weapons casing. They didn't work as well as the red flames, but im still happy with it overall. The exhaust ports on the back also received a lick of paint, tell me what you think. http://i631.photobucket.com/albums/uu32/iioi3/IMG_0510.jpg http://i631.photobucket.com/albums/uu32/iioi3/IMG_0511.jpg http://i631.photobucket.com/albums/uu32/iioi3/IMG_0512.jpg http://i631.photobucket.com/albums/uu32/iioi3/IMG_0513.jpg Also, I dug up one of the old PAGKs who is yet to be stripped.... http://i631.photobucket.com/albums/uu32/iioi3/IMG_0517.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubernator Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 My jaw almost fell off when I saw the first model. Damn that's an awesome finish ;) Stick with the scheme and indeed the red flames, it's working wonders on those models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neisseria Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 What do you think? I have 4 more terminators to do. Shall I continue with the fire? I was thinking about doing the same scheme but in blue/green/purple etc Beautiful work. Truly inspirational. I was wondering, do you have any test minis with a blue/green colour? The reason I ask is that I was considering using an "ethereal" fire effect on my Terminators (which are mainly dark blue) and would be interested to see how green works in that context.

Myxx Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Very cool. Looks like a flame/lava/pattern that screams "AWESOME" and the blue flame almost looks like a frost pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, I rarely plan ahead when I paint models, so this is the only one I have. Sorry. Also, what do you think about a lava marbled effect on the next one, simillar to this http://www.games-workshop.com/MEDIA_CustomProductCatalog/m1440034_harry_3b.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firepower Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Holy ass-crack of Magarathea! I liked the GK, but I looove that chaos lord (which means a lot coming from a BT player ;) ). If only blood effects like that would show up on a black model :) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liquid_awesomes Posted October 14, 2010 Author Share Posted October 14, 2010 Hopefully, this will be the first of two updates tonight, weather permitting. One man down now, all fully painted. I can't decided whether I should do words on the seals and scrolls because my free-hand skills are pathetic when it comes to fine detail work, and I feel that it could ruin the model in one fell swoop. http://i631.photobucket.com/albums/uu32/iioi3/IMG_0527.jpg http://i631.photobucket.com/albums/uu32/iioi3/IMG_0529.jpg Thoughts?

Hubernator Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Whenever I do seals, I use a black biro and make squiggly lines across it so it looks like really small text. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firepower Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 Gorgeous. When in doubt, micron pens work for seal-script. The catch is that they don't try too quick in my experience, and if you Varnish the marks too soon they smudge. So in the past when I have used it, say on a squad i just finished, i mark 'em all up and then shelf them for a couple weeks, no touching, just to be sure. However, I'd say the rest of the model already contradicts your self-proclaimed fine detail suckage :teehee: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disruptor_fe404 Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Oh boy, your variant Grey Knights are called the Sentinels? My DIY Chapter, the Sentinels, sometimes gets mistaken for Grey Knights. Because, you know, Grey Knights have some sort of copyright on Mithril Silver or something. Actual comments though; excellent fire effects. I'd recommend doing something to the metallics of the blades, to make them look less... flat? Yes, that's the word I'm looking for.
