Darkmagi Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Hi all after 4 years of painting silver (slowly i must add) I've decided I want my GK to be closer in coloration to the colors depicted in the Garro audio books. For those who haven't heard them the armor Garro is said to be wearing is "Grey as a Storm Cloud" Can anyone please help me figure out what colors would best fit that description? Thanks in advance for your help. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/236923-help-with-colors-for-my-gk/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

CuddlesHeretics Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Shadow Grey is nice too :) Extreme highlight some space wolves grey if you want a blue tint :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/236923-help-with-colors-for-my-gk/#findComment-2856119 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WimvH Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Hmmm, since I also believe that Grey Knights ought to be grey... I basecoat with Astronomican Grey, shade with a black wash (recesses and joints), then layer Codex grey over that with an ultimate highlight of Fortress Grey. I do not like Space Wolves Grey as think it is too blue. Soit, I also find that with this the script on their armour is better in bone colours. Which I use Bubonic Brown, black wash, Re-highlight Bubonic Brown, Bleached Bone and then - perhaps - Skull White. Hope this helps a little :-) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/236923-help-with-colors-for-my-gk/#findComment-2858275 Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those who haven't heard them the armor Garro is said to be wearing is "Grey as a Storm Cloud" Can anyone please help me figure out what colors would best fit that description? Thanks in advance for your help. I went for a "charcoal grey" color for my Knights. I was hoping for a singed armour, covered with soot look: Valerian Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/236923-help-with-colors-for-my-gk/#findComment-2858795 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CuddlesHeretics Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 That's looks awesome! What paints did you use? I'm planning on Codex grey, maybe a bit lighter, with fortress grey extreme highlights :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/236923-help-with-colors-for-my-gk/#findComment-2858846 Share on other sites More sharing options...
