PhDGamer Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Hi all, I've recently come back to painting after a long hiatus, and started off with a Grey Knight strike squad I had lying around. I loved painting them and like the Grey Knights generally, so I thought I would work them up into a proper army. I am always looking for feedback and motivation to keep painting, so I figured I would share some pictures here as the project progresses. Here is the first, a five-man strike squad with an incinerator: Thanks for looking! Also, this image seems really big--do I need to shrink it down?

PhDGamer Posted December 3, 2014 Author Share Posted December 3, 2014 Thanks for all the comments! Terminators are in progress now: And one with brighter light and a more scenic background: Hopefully I will get a sunny day when I go to take the photos of the finished squad.

PhDGamer Posted December 10, 2014 Author Share Posted December 10, 2014 The terminators are done except for bases and force weapons--more on that soon. In the meantime, since I really want to do an update every week, here is what's in store after the terminators: a ten-man Purifier squad. And my favorite three with a few Soul Blaze tokens I made, just in case: I still need to finish assembling them (the Knight of the Flame in particular needs his backpack; I wanted to make him a cloak, but my skills aren't quite where they need to be for that), but they should be ready for basecoating sometime next week. Thanks for looking! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/299854-grey-knight-strike-force-with-pictures/#findComment-3885997 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Coolpants Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 I've never thought of putting flame effects on my purifiers haha. I'm eager to see how you paint them.

Deet Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Really nice job on the skin tones and lightning. Â Would love to see some close ups or a tutorial on your flame sculpting. Looks great from afar. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/299854-grey-knight-strike-force-with-pictures/#findComment-3886309 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adeptus Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Such a simple idea putting flames on the Purifiers, if only I'd thought of that first!

Rurik the blessed Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 OMG this is a really good job! keep the good work!. I really like the idea of flames... you should post a tutorial... Â PS: please don't paint the flames red... use a green or blue flame... it looks better.

jeffersonian000 Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Paint the flames blue ... because traditionally, witches cause flames to turn blue. /wink  SJ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/299854-grey-knight-strike-force-with-pictures/#findComment-3887101 Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhDGamer Posted December 12, 2014 Author Share Posted December 12, 2014 Awesome. Â The plan is indeed to paint the flames blue. Â I think there's a reference to Cleansing Flame producing a blue flame in the Codex, and it will just look better with the blue eyes and force weapons on the rest of the units. Â The gas flame is a helpful reference, actually--thanks Rurik. Â It's much better than me turning on my burners at home and staring at them while the wife and kids wonder if I have gone crazy.

PhDGamer Posted December 15, 2014 Author Share Posted December 15, 2014 Ok, Terminators are finished and it is a sunny day. Here they are: I turned the Terminator with the hammer slightly to show my attempt to do the force effect on the head. It doesn't look quite as good on the side with all the sculpted detail, but I think it is effective overall. The Purifiers are done being cleaned, so I will start work on them soon.

PhDGamer Posted December 30, 2014 Author Share Posted December 30, 2014 Hi all, It's been a busy holiday season, so no update last week. The Purifiers are coming along, but I wasn't sure exactly how I wanted to do the white and the flames, so I did a test model: And a better shot of the halberd: I like the way the white came out, and I think it will end up looking good on the weapon casing and the halberd shaft. I'm pretty happy with the flames, though I would be interested to see what others think. Also, would it help to darken the shadows on the bottom of the halberd towards the guard? I should also admit that I was inspired to post this in part by Rurik's GM with Soul Glaive, which came out nicely and is apparently the terror of Riptides everywhere. Thanks for looking!
