PekkaM Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Hi all, i thought i should start a thread for my GK army that i've been collecting and painting for the past few months. And first off we have my Dreadknight that i just finished tonight: http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i84/PeXI_90/Valokuva0486.jpg?t=1325300111 http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i84/PeXI_90/Valokuva0487.jpg?t=1325300108 http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i84/PeXI_90/Valokuva0488.jpg?t=1325300105 I really disliked the whole babycarrier thing on the DK because it reminded me of those Austin powers movies with Dr. Evil and mini-me.. So i decided to marry my DK with a venerable dreadnought i had and added a metal rod at the end of his sword to give him a halberd. I also had to cut his hip joints a bit and pin the legs on it in order to get a more dynamic pose compared to the original. Hope you like it, i will probably post more pictures of the army next year. I still have lots to paint and to fix, since i just recently gave new weapons to some models and made all kinds of modifications to them so i need to repaint those bitz before i can show them to you. -PekkaM Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/244424-my-greerr-blue-knights-gallery-now-with-full-army-pics/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

VAGABOND Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 I like this, I also did a similar thing to my Custodian Dreadknights and gave them Guardian Spears. Check out my blog to see mine.

PekkaM Posted January 1, 2012 Author Share Posted January 1, 2012 Moar stuff i finished today ;). These are the guys that needed just some repainting here and there after i had changed some of their weapons etc.. First off my Strikes, unit 1 of 2: http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i84/PeXI_90/Valokuva0492.jpg?t=1325385908 http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i84/PeXI_90/Valokuva0491.jpg?t=1325385904 And here's their transport: http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i84/PeXI_90/Valokuva0493.jpg?t=1325385912 http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i84/PeXI_90/Valokuva0494.jpg?t=1325385917 My one and only unit of purifiers: http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i84/PeXI_90/Valokuva0495.jpg?t=1325385920 http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i84/PeXI_90/Valokuva0496.jpg?t=1325385924 My two Ordo malleus inquisitors in termiarmors w/ d.hammer & psycannon http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i84/PeXI_90/Valokuva0497.jpg?t=1325385929 http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i84/PeXI_90/Valokuva0498.jpg?t=1325385934 My servo-skulls, 2 of 3: http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i84/PeXI_90/Valokuva0500.jpg?t=1325385945 Terminator squad 1 of 2: http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i84/PeXI_90/Valokuva0501.jpg?t=1325385949 Terminator squad 2 of 2: http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i84/PeXI_90/Valokuva0502.jpg?t=1325385955 They aren't meant to be showcase, just quickly made for the basic tabletop quality, but hopefully you still like them B). What i still have unpainted: 8 Terminators (so i will end up with 2 squads of 10 termies) 5 Strikes + their razorback What i still have to buy, assemble and then paint: A transport for the purifiers, which will either be a rhino or a stormraven A second Dreadknight perhaps? Or then some dreadnoughts.. ... Or maybe both, not sure yet. ??? -PekkaM Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/244424-my-greerr-blue-knights-gallery-now-with-full-army-pics/#findComment-2955563 Share on other sites More sharing options...

roooooot Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 The Venerable sarcophagus really instills the dread part of DreadKnight, it looks intimidating as hell.

Brother Cambrius Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Can I get a recipe for that silverish blue, brother? I believe our good Brother PekkaM is using the Viva Metallica method for painting. :P Excellent work here PekkaM! As said above, the Dreadknight looks very scary indeed the way you've modelled it. Well done!

PekkaM Posted January 10, 2012 Author Share Posted January 10, 2012 Can I get a recipe for that silverish blue, brother? Sure: -black undercoat -cover all of the armor parts with chainmail -add a layer of asurmen blue -after it's dried up, add another layer of asurmen blue. -Done. Btw, thank you all for your nice comments. I honestly didn't expect these to get so this much positive attention ;). Currently i've been bit busy in school but i should finish off my other half of the strike squad today or tomorrow so pics to follow.. I also ordered a second dreadknight which will be converted with dreadnought parts aswell, but it will be different from the one i allready built. -PekkaM Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/244424-my-greerr-blue-knights-gallery-now-with-full-army-pics/#findComment-2963057 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honda Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I REALLY like the blue steel. It's very distinctive, different, yet still conveys Grey Knights to me. Overall, I think the army looks quite nice. What really piqued my interest though is your Dreadknight. You've convinced me that something interesting can be done with the model from a posing perspective. Thanx for the clever ideas. BTW, "since" you are going to paint a bit more for this army, have you made a vow for the Librarium Painting Challenge? You only have to paint one figure between now and March 31st. You can make your vow in the General Painting forum. Your brother knights need you. B) Excellent work so far.

The dreadknight indeed can be reposed but it requires some cutting bitz, pinning and regluing. For example, i broke the leg joints, reposed the into different way and then pinned and glued them, so they would hold. Also the arm joint was cut a lot, the edge of the "cup" where the arm is put into was cutted off pretty much completely so the halberd arm would bend back enough.. Out of curiosity, how many points is this? What you now see painted is roughly 1400-1500pts. It's going to be a 2000pts list when i'm finished. If anyone is interested on the list: Ordo Malleus Inquisitor Terminator armour & Daemon hammer, Psycannon, 2 Servo-skulls GK Purifier squad (10) 6x Halberd, 3x Psycannon, Knight of the flame w/ Halberd +Rhino GK Terminator squad (10) Terminator Justicar: Daemon hammer, Storm bolter Terminator 1: Brotherhood Banner, Storm bolter Terminator 2: Halberd, Psycannon Terminator 3: Halberd, Psycannon Terminator 4: Daemon hammer, Storm bolter Terminator 5: Halberd, Storm bolter Terminator 6: Halberd, Storm bolter Terminator 7: Halberd, Storm bolter Terminator 8: Halberd, Storm bolter Terminator 9: Halberd, Storm bolter GK Terminator squad (10) Terminator Justicar: Daemon hammer, Storm bolter Terminator 1: Brotherhood Banner, Storm bolter Terminator 2: Halberd, Psycannon Terminator 3: Halberd, Psycannon Terminator 4: Daemon hammer, Storm bolter Terminator 5: Halberd, Storm bolter Terminator 6: Halberd, Storm bolter Terminator 7: Halberd, Storm bolter Terminator 8: Halberd, Storm bolter Terminator 9: Halberd, Storm bolter Strike squad (10) 2x Psycannon, Daemon hammer +Rhino GK Dreadknight Nemesis Greatsword, Heavy incinerator GK Dreadknight Nemesis Greatsword, Heavy incinerator Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/244424-my-greerr-blue-knights-gallery-now-with-full-army-pics/#findComment-2965594 Share on other sites More sharing options...

PekkaM Posted February 23, 2012 Author Share Posted February 23, 2012 Hi guys, been a long time since i last updated, sorry for the delay. I've been busy with building&painting my WHFB Daemons of chaos army, painting a commisioned WHFB vampire counts army, school and playing TES: Skyrim... But now, i finally have some blue knight done! 8 terminators (bringing my total to 2x10 man squads) and two rhinos for my puriefier and strike squads. Here are the pics: The termies: http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i84/PeXI_90/Valokuva0529.jpg?t=1330040384 http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i84/PeXI_90/Valokuva0530.jpg?t=1330040378 The rhinos: http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i84/PeXI_90/Valokuva0531.jpg?t=1330040373 Now i only have to finish building my dreadknight #2 and then paint it, which should be done by saturday/sunday. After which, my 2000pts army is finished and i will provide a group shot of my entire GK army. -Pekka Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/244424-my-greerr-blue-knights-gallery-now-with-full-army-pics/#findComment-2999930 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite happy with how the DK's turned out, those were my first bigger conversions that i've ever made :).
