NovaScotius Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Hey, I’m about to start painting my first set of the new plastic Grey Knights; I’ve got a Strike Squad and a Purifier Squad assembled. I have to say, I’m not a fan of the GW paint scheme for Purifiers – The white helmet and shoulder pad does nothing for me when the unpainted metal of the armour is supposed to represent purity. I’ve been trying to figure a way to keep the Purifiers silver, as well as ensure they can be easily distinguished from my Strike Knights. My solution is to paint them with completely silver armour, as well as not put any personal heraldry on their shoulder. I might also do the raised lining of the shoulder pads in gold. Do you think this would be sufficient for my opponents to be able to easily distinguish the Purifiers from the Strikes/Purgators? Thanks :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/242379-purifier-paint-scheme/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Valerius Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 That's probably enough. Although I suggest trying a test model with white shoulder pads and a silver helmet, to see if you like the look. That's how I'm doing my Purifiers and it looks great, way better than the GW scheme. If you wind up not liking it, then silver will be easy to paint over the white.

BLACK BLΠFLY Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 I think Exorcists would be a great color scheme for an army like this. G <_< Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/242379-purifier-paint-scheme/#findComment-2930516 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevianID Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 I like the idea of scorch marks on the armor of the purifiers to further make them distinct from their PA brethren.

Avarris Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 As I've gone for a different colour scheme for my Grey Knights (check my Gallery) I'm doing my Purifiers Helms Red to mark them out as different to the normal units. Looks good against the bone of the rest of the amour.

Dr von Hohenheim Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 I don't think it's necessary for purifiers to look different to strike squads. It just limits the flexibility of your models. WYSIWYG doesn't extend to paint schemes! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/242379-purifier-paint-scheme/#findComment-2931312 Share on other sites More sharing options...
