Cadaveri Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Just found couple of these lying around and decided to give them a try with quickshade, tbh i think they came alright for the quick effort =) Edit: One more thing to add.. i used the dark tone from AP and i actually used 2 coats instead of 1 (i think 1 coat wasn't dark enough!) They were primed with Army Painter Platemail red = blood red (or well the coat'd'arms red equilevant) Gold = Shining Gold GW Cloth = Dheneb Stone GW Skulls = Ivory Vallejo Model Powerswords were just simply done with Asurmen Blue washes few times over Bases were done using: Beastial Brown -> Bubonic Brown -> Bleached Bone & then few Jungle tufts from Army Painter If you have any more questions hit me with a PM or ask here :) Anyhow here's the pictures(watch out for unfinished Xenos on few pics ^^): http://cadaveri.wippiespace.com/Wh40k/GK/oldGK2.jpg http://cadaveri.wippiespace.com/Wh40k/GK/oldGK1.jpg http://cadaveri.wippiespace.com/Wh40k/GK/oldGK3.jpg And little boring picture from the behind: http://cadaveri.wippiespace.com/Wh40k/GK/oldGK4.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/231277-quickshaded-grey-knights-not-new-plastic-ones/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 40k Hobbiest Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 The cloak on the Necron Lord is my favorite part. It really looks good considering it was quickshaded.

Ye, doing this the "normal" way would propably take atleast 5 times longer.

Isiah Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Two coats of Dark Quickshade works well on the platemail base. The GK look good. Great bases :D BTW, watch out for posting xeno pics here on the B&C as strictly speaking it should be deleted and blasted into the Warp :D .

Kronk Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 How did you apply the two coats of quickshade? Brush on or dip? Did you have to clean the brush with mineral spirits, if you used a brush?

Cadaveri Posted June 7, 2011 Author Share Posted June 7, 2011 How did you apply the two coats of quickshade? Brush on or dip? Did you have to clean the brush with mineral spirits, if you used a brush? I used Citadel Wash brush for applying the quickshade, after the first layer i cleaned my brush with turpentine(and water). When dry(~12-24 hours depending) i applied the 2nd coat. After the 2nd coat was dry then i applied Vallejo matte varnish with a brush. Hope this helped! ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/231277-quickshaded-grey-knights-not-new-plastic-ones/#findComment-2785128 Share on other sites More sharing options...
skawolf Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 At the risk of sounding like a novice painter (which i am not, been over 16 years for me), What is quickshade?

Kronk Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 It's a product offered by The Army Painter. Here is a link to their store. Click on the binoculars below the products to see some before/after shots. It's basically a dip, similar to a wood stain. Actually, it is wood stain, but blended with mineral spirits or other thinner to get "the right" mix. I have used it in the past, and it did a reasonable job on my ghouls for D&D. The application on the Grey Knights in this thread is amazing, though.

Battleborn Five0 Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 I'm using the quickshade on some BA and its amazing. Cuts time spent painting down tremendously. I'll try to get some pics of what I have finished so far up someday...

Harkainos Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 These look great! The text on the scrolls: Done with a pen? Done before applying dip?
