Tzen Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 First post update. Thought I'd share Voldus here as most of the pics below are bad. I mean, Voldus aint great but he's better than the poor offerings in the rest of the thread! :D http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Voldus2.jpg http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/voldus3.jpg Okay, this is a very early days thread I have going on. The following three models are very very old paint jobs on the old metal Grey Knights. Apart from the WIP terminator which is a recent go at getting my paint scheme sorted. I did rebase the normal Gk's onto the 32mm bases and tidy them up. However I like having my old paint jobs around, reminds me how far I have come (or regressed!). More to come on this thread in the future, but its a slow burner for now! http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/testgk1.jpg http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/testgk2.jpg http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/testgk3.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosjetka Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Always good to see more stuff from you, Tzen! I'm liking both the new and the old Grey Knights, so looking forward to seeing what else comes along! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzen Posted August 24, 2015 Author Share Posted August 24, 2015 Thanks "Dosjetka" ( ;) ) ! Hopefully gonna be painting these alongside my Ultras, but the truth is I am not sure how much time I will have to get my hobby on in the future! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosjetka Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 I would suggest that you concentrate on your Ultramarines, since they seem to be the army which is the most advanced at this stage, while keeping the Grey Knights for "special occasions" when you've had enough of painting blue or just generally feel like painting something else :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzen Posted August 24, 2015 Author Share Posted August 24, 2015 Yeah, that's likely what I will do. I still have my Word Bearers constantly being worked on, so I don't want to bite off more of the hobby biscuit than I can chew! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzen Posted January 29, 2016 Author Share Posted January 29, 2016 Another old Grey Knight! I basically just re-based this guy and did his sword! These are horrible models to paint, they are the old metal ones and are honestly painful, so I wont be going back and re-doing the whole model. http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/gkt1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zxyogi Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Nice work Tzen! I have a few GK on the go, as been mentioned I do it to break up painting Purple and Yellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that a gauntlet-mounted heavy flamer, or a meltagun? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosjetka Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 That's an incinerator (GK heavy flamer+). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzen Posted January 30, 2016 Author Share Posted January 30, 2016 I have no idea what the weapon is, so thanks Ludo! :D And yeah, I tend to go for these models cos it breaks things up a little. I have done a few other projects recently which I can't post here because they dont fit the forum rules, but eventually I will be back to more power armoured goodness!

Tzen Posted January 30, 2016 Author Share Posted January 30, 2016 Another Grey Knight I re-based and actually painted the weapon for. I need an air brush :/ I actually started the re-base/weapon painting for this guy a while ago, like three months ago. Thats how passionate I feel about the old metal models. I get the feeling I may enjoy the experience a lot more with the lovely new plastics! :D http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/gkt2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosjetka Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Looking good! :tu: And being the owner of a GK Terminator box, I can say without a shadow of doubt that you'll enjoy the plastic versions a lot more. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzen Posted February 5, 2016 Author Share Posted February 5, 2016 Another one! Just two more to go, getting a little better at power weapons/force weapons. http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/gk3.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzen Posted February 6, 2016 Author Share Posted February 6, 2016 Fourth one re-based and weapon painted! http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/gk4.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biohazard Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Looking good mate. Can't wait to see how you tackle the newer models Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzen Posted February 9, 2016 Author Share Posted February 9, 2016 Ta Bio, I am hoping to start work on them some time this year, I just needed the practice on the force weapons first! :D http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/gk5.jpg Interestingly enough, this guy's weapon keeps snapping off even with pinning, so it made painting the weapon a bit more of a pain so I just left it as is after a while. Still the whole squad is now updated with new bases and weapons that are actually painted! No idea what's next, I will eventually return to my Word Bearers!

JJD Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 These guys are great but I expect nothing less at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzen Posted February 9, 2016 Author Share Posted February 9, 2016 Ta man! Like I say, these guys were painted when they first came out in metal, so they look a bit rough around the edges, but then that was the standard I had 10 (?) years ago! :D I'm still kinda getting to know how to paint decent looking force weapons, I get the feeling an airbrush would be remarkable help in that department!

SW1 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Glad I spotted this. :tu: I've purchased a load of GK kits and ended up raiding for converting up a few =][= and that's about it. I'd be happy to get mine half as good as these when I finally get round to starting them up!!! Would be good to see some WIP in the future to get some ideas on how to tackle painting them. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzen Posted April 4, 2017 Author Share Posted April 4, 2017 Been working on Voldus. This is a quick run through, so sadly I am not doing the miniature justice. But I wanted to complete the Triumvirate box set before starting something else. http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Voldus1.jpg Still, not looking too bad. I haven't painted a Grey Knight in ages, so I am glad it's this guy. It means the army has a leader now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Traitor Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 I'm seeing too much Imperial scum from you lately, Tzen... :P Joking aside he looks great, your highly contrasting metals suit him well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzen Posted April 4, 2017 Author Share Posted April 4, 2017 Ta man. I know I whine a lot in my threads, but I think we both know this guy looks a little rushed! It's cool though, I can't spend days on everything I paint! I am doing the Tale of Warlords thing after this. So this chap really really needs to get finished. I'm either Deathwatch or I am gonna use it as an excuse to add to my Ultramarines! So even more Imperial scum! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzen Posted April 10, 2017 Author Share Posted April 10, 2017 Probably the worst paint job I've done for a number of years. http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Voldus2.jpg http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/voldus3.jpg My heart hasn't been in this. There is nothing wrong with the model, it's great. I just have millions of other projects to do, and this guy was started purely to finish the box set off. Last time I make that mistake. I will be giving him a scenic base in order to do a tutorial on painting marble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kobrakei Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 He's just the worst :P In all seriousness, he does look fantastic, but I know that feeling when you paint something and you personally feel you haven't done the job you wanted to. Do you think you might revisit him a little later on or just call it done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzen Posted April 10, 2017 Author Share Posted April 10, 2017 Yeah very much so. When I do the tutorial on his base I may go back to him and tidy up his cloak and the books. There is a reason I haven't taken any pics from behind. I haven't even done any freehand on him really. Just some boring script crap that takes 10 seconds. Thing is I want to do a Grey Knights army, so it's not like I hate the models. I just feel literally swamped with stuff to paint. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
