Saul Invictus Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Hey guys, I've recently started my Grey Knights attachment back up, and I'm going to be basing them around the Second Brotherhood, led by Mordrak. As a homage to his old rules, I'm painting his Paladin retinue up as Ghost Knights, and I was looking around for some C&C on making them more ghostly, if anyone has any examples, etc. I build my collection on a snowy base, and I'm toying with scorched earth around the feet of the ghosts, and I plan on building Mordrak with more ghosts appearing around him. The guy on the left was test #1, I prefer #2, on the right. All C&C appreciated http://i754.photobucket.com/albums/xx181/Sambuuca/Mobile%20Uploads/Crusade%20WiP/20141104_215639_zpscadmunyy.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/298910-ghost-knights-and-mordrak/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffTibbetts Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Have you thought about flipping the highlights? As in, "shading" the cracks with a lighter color? I've always liked that effect, and you could use Nihilakh Oxide to do it very easily. Maybe paint a mid-dark, shade with Oxide for a lighter color, and drybrush a darker green on the outside? I've seen some fantasy ghosts done that way and they looked cool.

SonofTitan117 Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 I definitely prefer the one on the right. It is a very similar color and tone to what I chose for my Ghost Knights.

Captain Coolpants Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 The one on the right certainly looks better in my opinion. But anything green has always made me think necrons lol.

Saul Invictus Posted November 20, 2014 Author Share Posted November 20, 2014 Unfortunately,no work done on the Ghost Knights, but I'll be keeping in mind the advice you have all given me,thank you very much. Here's my Grand Master so far, he's going to be Mordrak without the rules. http://i754.photobucket.com/albums/xx181/Sambuuca/Mobile%20Uploads/Crusade%20WiP/20141120_201841_zpsa0emod5x.jpg http://i754.photobucket.com/albums/xx181/Sambuuca/Mobile%20Uploads/Crusade%20WiP/20141120_201847_zpsuts1lbab.jpg http://i754.photobucket.com/albums/xx181/Sambuuca/Mobile%20Uploads/Crusade%20WiP/20141120_201855_zpse10wd2jo.jpg http://i754.photobucket.com/albums/xx181/Sambuuca/Mobile%20Uploads/Crusade%20WiP/20141120_201913_zpsiupcmwfg.jpg http://i754.photobucket.com/albums/xx181/Sambuuca/Mobile%20Uploads/Crusade%20WiP/20141120_201923_zpsj5v41hna.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/298910-ghost-knights-and-mordrak/#findComment-3867068 Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortysl Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 The Ghost Knight on the right definitely looks better, if only because it puts me in mind of the old Hanna-Barbera Scooby Doo ghosts! You may find that insulting but I assure you it's intended as a compliment. On the painting front it seems you've very little to worry about; your Ghost Knight looks great and Mordrak seems to be coming along nicely too. I'm personally looking forward to seeing more of this project.

Saul Invictus Posted November 21, 2014 Author Share Posted November 21, 2014 Old school Scooby Doo ghosts and the dead from LotR were my main inspirations for the ghostly colours, so that's a relief!

Saul Invictus Posted November 24, 2014 Author Share Posted November 24, 2014 Done some more work on Mordrak, I'm working on getting the psychic hotspots in green to tie him to the ghosts. http://i754.photobucket.com/albums/xx181/Sambuuca/Mobile%20Uploads/Crusade%20WiP/20141124_125357_zpskkezjfcc.jpg http://i754.photobucket.com/albums/xx181/Sambuuca/Mobile%20Uploads/Crusade%20WiP/20141124_125407_zpsbuxqhvey.jpg http://i754.photobucket.com/albums/xx181/Sambuuca/Mobile%20Uploads/Crusade%20WiP/20141124_125415_zpsqokyeofe.jpg http://i754.photobucket.com/albums/xx181/Sambuuca/Mobile%20Uploads/Crusade%20WiP/20141124_125423_zps87ng5tgc.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/298910-ghost-knights-and-mordrak/#findComment-3869683 Share on other sites More sharing options...
