Irbis Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 I'd like to start new, small GK force to use with Nemesis Strike formation. Though, not sure if I am a fan of painting them like every single other GK in existence. So, out of curiosity, what you'd say to: A) Painting them deep grey. They are supposed to have unpainted metal armour, and wasn't adamantite deep grey? Or would you refuse to play non-silver GK? B) Would say fur tabards and half-cloaks be okay? Or would they not fit the army at all? Space Marines wear these often in fluff, and I could easily get bits to make justicars/librarians stand out a bit more, but would that look stupid/clash with fluff? C) Speaking of librarian, combi/melta or combi/plasma? Or should he stick to storm bolter and GW adding other options was heresy? D) Not sure I am fan of only white/black/red heraldry - is it possible to use other colours or again, will it look dumb and result in refusal of games everywhere? (Yes, yes, I know 'paint your guys how you want' but I'd like to do something that is both fluffy and stands out) :( Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/307298-decorating-grey-knights/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Yes, yes, I know 'paint your guys how you want' but I'd like to do something that is both fluffy and stands out) a) It's a very good option... i did something like that in the past, previous an incident where all my Gk wehre stolen from my car. was so sad. I'd painted them in a grey NMM tone. they look fantastic! tabards? yes please... they need some kind of "knightly" decoration (also try banners on justicars) c) definitely combi plasma... d) keep the black/red/white... other colors seems not so GK Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/307298-decorating-grey-knights/#findComment-4034982 Share on other sites More sharing options...
