Thunderhawk3015 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Its a nice combo, but my first though it Soul Drinkers or Emperors Children. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt. Lacerus Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I can dig it. I thoroughly enjoy seeing models meant to be painted one way, painted as something else. Bring on more minis please, looks very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venemox Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Purple is a regal color. The gold sets it off well. Nice force weapon effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olgerth Istaarn Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 While your purple is certainly delicious, GK are not a model range that should be painted as anything but GK, at least if assembled as a whole. Aegis armor belongs to GK alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Galfridus Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Purple and gold always look good together and you've painted excellently. I look forward to seeing more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N1SB Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I think it looks awesome. Again, very regal. In case you're interested in my immediate thoughts, I too thought "Soul Drinkers" counting as GK, which I think is an excellent idea as they fight Chaos.

Atrenox Posted September 3, 2014 Author Share Posted September 3, 2014 Hey guys thanks for your comments glad you like :) Also after reading a little about who the "Soul Drinkers" are I really like there back story and history ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atrenox Posted September 4, 2014 Author Share Posted September 4, 2014 i thought i would change the colour of his Loin cloth to Blue i think it makes the whole model pop ! http://s13.postimg.org/tnb8yy8rb/myknight.jpg image hosting 10mb limit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strongbow Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Really like the paint scheme, really well executed too :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 While your purple is certainly delicious, GK are not a model range that should be painted as anything but GK, at least if assembled as a whole. Aegis armor belongs to GK alone. My Thousand Son's Sorcerer Killed a Grey Knight and claimed his armour and staff. They belong to GK alone, until they belong to someone else.

MrSocks Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 While your purple is certainly delicious, GK are not a model range that should be painted as anything but GK, at least if assembled as a whole. Aegis armor belongs to GK alone. I think they look excellent in purple. Grey Knights can be any colour anyone wants them to be, they're a fictional group of super human killing machines that exist 40,000 years in man's grim future! Plus I've seen an excellent white armoured Grey Knight army on the table! Love the scheme Atrenox, would love to see a full unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt. Lacerus Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Ok, I almost NEVER EVER post a negative comment about someone's painting because, 1. I can't paint for :cuss so who am I to say anything and 2. I don't think I know golly gee I'm talking about. However, I'm not into the blue loin cloth. I liked the first scheme a lot better but, the more I look at it I think it would look better in white or perhaps a cream/bone color? Just a thought. Don't get me wrong it's well executed, I just don't think it looks "right". Kind of random and clashes. That being said it's your stuff and you can tell me to eat a spoonful of :cuss cuz that's what I'd probably do :). Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiberius Cato Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 I like the cool palette of the blue loin cloth and purple armour contrasted by the warmish gold colour. That being said, you could go for a cream/bone loincloth, but I feel it would draw all attention to the crotch. The purple is a cool colour and would serve to make the cream/bone pop because those colours are warm colours, that's why the gold looks so good on the purple. Just my two cents based off my (possibly wrong) understanding of colour theory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K0rtmer Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Yeah, I thought the same. The model's painted to a high standard and the purple–gold scheme fits it surprisingly well. But the electric blue loin cloth doesn't work for me. It doesn't really look like fabric and distracts from the well-painted force weapon. Bone or cream or something along those lines would absolutely work.Other than that, really, good on you. He does look really cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiberius Cato Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 I think it would actually benefit from a darker blue, because it's painted in the same manner as the force weapon. I believe sticking with a neutral or cool colour is the best way to go, the "standard" cream/bone would draw too much attention from the model since it is primarily a purple that leans more on the blue side. But that's just my opinion, I like palettes that are either primarily warm or cool and are accented with a colour of the opposite temperature. That being said, I really enjoy the current paintjob. It has a nice purple and blue scheme with the yellow of the gold to offset it. It could possibly even benefit from a tad bit of green in there somewhere.

Atrenox Posted September 6, 2014 Author Share Posted September 6, 2014 I think you guys were right doing the loin cloth in bone it does look rather nice , well anyway here he is now http://s29.postimg.org/sza254lev/unnamed.jpg images hosting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
