I am the Hammer...

So, I've noticed a dearth of Grey Knights forces here so far, maybe I'll get some attention!

 

I decided to go with grey instead of silver for the armor of my Grey Knights, mostly because I'm not too much a fan of metallic armies.

Some of my primer, however, obscured the shoulder pad writing stuff on some of them, I had to make the best I could of a bad job on my part.

 

Please be kind,I'm not the best painter in the world. The better, in focus photos are courtesy of my wonderful girlfriend.

very nice, very clean, ver neat

a bit flat....could do with a bit of depth, highlights and shading...though it mighjt just be the camera tbf

 

 

I do need to do some highlighting, though i'm a bit unsure whether to go for sharp line highlights or more broad block highlighting. Thoughts?

 

 

Thanks for the feedback!

Line works fine if you go for a marginally lighter grey, you would want to stay away from one that is too bright.

Maybe even apply some wash in the recesses of the armour ?

 

Thanks for the tip on the line highlights!

 

The way I've been painting them, I prime them grey and then do a wash with badab black, then paint grey over the flat areas again, so the recesses are still inked. It's a bit hard to tell in the photos though.

A Strike Squad in this update!

Later tonight I'll probably be ready to post up my Knight-Captain

 

Once again, comments are welcome!

Good painting. You've got the basic nailed down fine and layering as well you say. Highlights would make them pop a bit more. The only thing that's not so good is the colour of the tiles on the bases, they are too bright and detract from the model too much IMHO. Keep up the good work anyway.

Thanks for the feedback! The way the bases contrast with the models I really like, though I can see where you're coming from. Might be worth toning down the blue.

My last update today: Knight-Captain Honorius

Today: a Stormraven!

 

I'm only middlingly happy with the paint job on this one, still need to get up the motivation to do touch up work. The missile pods I use as the psi-strike missiles.
