Gareth Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-q4e_cZUfjCM/T6QQfIu4WuI/AAAAAAAABaQ/u-cvmxI8vW4/s1600/IMG_3693.jpg I finally finished my 1500pt Grey knight army. I've been working on it inbetween other projects. It's been a labour of love. If you'd like to see more close ups, they're on the tale of painters blog. http://taleofpainters.blogspot.co.uk/2012/...-army-shot.html Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/251898-1500pt-grey-knight-army-shot/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isiah Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Saw this lot on Tale of Painters. Stunning work. Not the 'usual' GK look and none the worse for that!! The icy-steely blue looks awesome sauce on the snow bases. Love the pose of the Contemptor. But waht I like best is the effort that has gone into the personal and Chapter heraldry. Great work sir.

MithrilForge Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 2X :) as always Gareth, your stuff is incredibly inspiring!! may i ask,is the army put together for a "it Looks cool factor" or as a "practical(these units are reliable and work well together) type" army. cheers Mithril Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/251898-1500pt-grey-knight-army-shot/#findComment-3055135 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth Posted May 7, 2012 Author Share Posted May 7, 2012 I go into more detail on why I choose the units I did. It's partly rule of cool, but also slightly playable. The big thing is I didn't want a min/max army like purely paladins and 3 dread knights. Those kind of armies are so boring and unimaginative.

Crimson Hawk Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 :) Its a good thing that you didn't go for the 'traditional' GK army- I too subscribe to the rule of cool not the cheese factory most GK armies end up as.

MithrilForge Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Thanks G-Man, i will go and check the link :lol: i see and agree, the cool factor before swiss is indeed a good philosophy when it comes to GK's perhaps i shall take a couple of pages out of your book when it comes time to do my GK army... also have you used the heavy squad yet? if yes how did they perform? a side note on that squad is that the staff iirc only protects them in Close Combat :) not from ranged attack... cheers Mithril Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/251898-1500pt-grey-knight-army-shot/#findComment-3056015 Share on other sites More sharing options...
