slah Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 I figured I would try and start a 40K army, and with GKs I think I found something I would actually be able to finish becasue it usually contains so few models :devil: - but also because it´s possible to add sooo many excentric choices afterwards with inquisitors, henchmen and retinues. So I bought a box of GK termis and stuck them together: http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii284/slah_photos/Games%20Workshop/40K/Grey%20Knights/Paladin%20Squad/IMG_3155.jpg And then I went to work figuring out my colourscheme. I want something darker, more gritty and gothic than the GW bright and shiny silver. This is the result so far: http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii284/slah_photos/Games%20Workshop/40K/Grey%20Knights/Paladin%20Squad/IMG_3166.jpg Let me know what you think.

Slyen Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 I like it. Its a nice start. My biggest question judging off of the close up is are you priming your models? It doesn't look like it and that, depending on your outlook, is something you should probably do... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Validar Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 great looking knights, you really did the lighting effect perfectly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denrik Greymane Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 I agree, looks great. The darker tones seem to suit very well, and the lighting inside the hood is awesome. I also agree, that if you aren't, which it doesn't look like you are, you should really prime your models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorns Padawan Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 I agree with Validar & Denrik Greymane, they summed it up nicely B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slah Posted June 13, 2011 Author Share Posted June 13, 2011 Thanks for the nice comments! And the minis are undercoated - I use the grey Vallejo model air primer, but brushed on. When dry it has almost the exact same colour as GW plastic (So i have learned to do it fast <_<) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slah Posted June 17, 2011 Author Share Posted June 17, 2011 Colourscheme just about done I think http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii284/slah_photos/Games%20Workshop/40K/Grey%20Knights/Paladin%20Squad/IMG_3173-1.jpg http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii284/slah_photos/Games%20Workshop/40K/Grey%20Knights/Paladin%20Squad/IMG_3171-1.jpg Sorry about the crappy pictures, will try and have some better taken when I have a bit more time....

Master Chaplain Astador Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 It's looking very good :P How do you like the Andrea line of paints? I assume your using the silver set? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slah Posted June 19, 2011 Author Share Posted June 19, 2011 Yup I´ve used the andrea silver set on this guy, and most of him is done with Andrea paints. I think they are great! They are by far my favorite at the moment, and I´ve used most of the "normal paint lines so far: GW, P3; Vallejo (both kinds), Rackham and Reaper. They just work really well without needing a s**tload of effort all the time. As an added bonus the colours are more oriented towards historical minis, so they are more desaturated than the more regular glaring fantasy/scifi oriented paintlines (which is a plus in my book). Try out a couple of the sets, and I will almost guarantee that you won´t be disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Chaplain Astador Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 I agree. they're great paints! I have the black, blue, flesh, and ink sets and am waiting on the silver set to come in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slah Posted July 1, 2011 Author Share Posted July 1, 2011 Done! I´m quite pleased with him, considering it´s TT quality, and very easy to massproduce <_< http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii284/slah_photos/Games%20Workshop/40K/Grey%20Knights/Paladin%20Squad/IMG_3190.jpg http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii284/slah_photos/Games%20Workshop/40K/Grey%20Knights/Paladin%20Squad/IMG_3188.jpg http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii284/slah_photos/Games%20Workshop/40K/Grey%20Knights/Paladin%20Squad/IMG_3187.jpg http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii284/slah_photos/Games%20Workshop/40K/Grey%20Knights/Paladin%20Squad/IMG_3186.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wulfebane Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Wow, I'm glad I saw this thread before I got around to building my GKs. I'm totally stealing that blue glow inner helm idea. Overall, I love the paint job. Subtle and very clean and nicely blended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
