Grimm Blade Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 So I have decided to paint my Grey Knight Brotherhood using this GW art as inspiration: http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk57/GKTerminators/ART/gk1p.jpg Here are some of my musings: This is a standard GK troop: http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk57/GKTerminators/ART/sm.jpg This is how I will distinguish Justicars: http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk57/GKTerminators/ART/smj.jpg Here are my options for Purifiers squad markings: 1. http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk57/GKTerminators/ART/smp.jpg 2. http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk57/GKTerminators/ART/smp1.jpg 3. http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk57/GKTerminators/ART/smp2.jpg 4. http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk57/GKTerminators/ART/smp3.jpg I think that I like options 2 and 4 the most :tu: Which theme do you like the most Brothers? Please let me know and/or give me some altermnatives Terminator: http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk57/GKTerminators/ART/tsmbeta.jpg Brother Captain: http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk57/GKTerminators/ART/tsmbetac.jpg Paladin: Will be this scheme and have either a red or white tabard: http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk57/GKTerminators/ART/tsmbeta.jpg I am thinking that the Grand Master will have a tabard and cloak, and silver gauntlets, but I am not sure what to do with his helmet...... Any thoughts? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/257400-my-soon-to-be-black-grey-knight-brotherhood/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
spartan249 Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 These are good thoughts, but I'm thinking that these Black Knights will look a lot like Iron Hands in some of the schemes you are considering.

Don't the Iron hands only paint one of their hand silver?

Grimm Blade Posted July 25, 2012 Author Share Posted July 25, 2012 Nice! It is helpful to see how the scheme actually looks on models B) I like the look of red robes on this scheme, I am torn between red or white/bone robes.......

Here is another Justicar, with a white tabard: I think the red looks better, but you could use the white on Purifiers.

Grimm Blade Posted July 26, 2012 Author Share Posted July 26, 2012 I think I like the red better also. Thank you! :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/257400-my-soon-to-be-black-grey-knight-brotherhood/#findComment-3132839 Share on other sites More sharing options...
thade Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 You know, I honestly have never liked the old-style "black Grey Knights", however I am rather liking your pieces here. I especially like the Dreads, as they have a tasteful weathered look. The more recent picture of brothers could use similar weathering/highlights (with what I'm guessing is Fortress/Codex grey or some mixture of white, black, etc.) as the Dreadnoughts got. Maybe they have it and it's not showing up in the picture, but they look so clean. <_< That's good (as it demonstrates skill) but I think they'd really benefit from some tiny touch-ups. Keep up the good work. :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/257400-my-soon-to-be-black-grey-knight-brotherhood/#findComment-3132866 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Circus Nurgling Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Ooooh I like the color scheme. This would look amazing with some metal flake or pigment added into the paint.

Keep up the good work. :) Thade, they're mine, but I didn't paint them - had Blue Table Painting do it for me a long time ago. The Dreads do indeed look the best in real life, and most of the others are pretty close. I had that last squad (the one with the white that I posted separately) done later, and they didn't do a good job of matching to the rest - they came out almost pure black without the blending/highlighting of the rest. All-in-all, I'm fairly pleased with their work, but have found other commission artists that do much better for the same or less money.

Dark Legionnare Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Whenever I get around to it I was going to be painting my Obsidian Knights (Grey Knights) with a sort of matte black if I can swing it well enough. Again, like others, I was inspired to do so by that old Grey Knight depiction at the beginning of the thread. Should be matteish black for primary, a gold/white mix for secondary colors like shoulder trim, etc... The Dreads are what I'm most excited to paint in that finish. They'll hopefully come out looking like murderous Cadillacs, but scuffed up.

Grimm Blade Posted July 30, 2012 Author Share Posted July 30, 2012 I am also excited about apllying this color scheme to a Dread, and especially to a Dreadknight ;) I am still not sure how the theme will transfer to my Land raider though :P http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk57/GKTerminators/Grey%20Knights/LR1.jpg I have been looking to the Black Templars for inspiration, but determining what color the edging will be, and where the silver to represent that from the gauntlets will be is proving to be difficult. I am also unsure as to whether or not the door and archways should be black, silver, or gold, red doors has also been considered! :huh: SO many possiblities! :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/257400-my-soon-to-be-black-grey-knight-brotherhood/#findComment-3136532 Share on other sites More sharing options...
