Jegind Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Im a few days away from starting to paint my own purifiers, but I dont want them to look "normal" like the ordinary PA Grey Knight. And for some reason im having a hard time to paint white :( So if people got somekind of selfmade color scheme.....please let me see them for inspiration :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/313242-new-alternatives-for-purifier-color-scheme/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffersonian000 Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Don't Purifiers already have distinctive white helmets?

Jegind Posted September 4, 2015 Author Share Posted September 4, 2015 They do, but im having a hard time getting that white color to look any good..... :( Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/313242-new-alternatives-for-purifier-color-scheme/#findComment-4163271 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Coolpants Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 They do, but im having a hard time getting that white color to look any good..... :( damn! I was about to suggest white bodies with red shoulders and head haha. Or red bodies with the usual white head and white lower leg. I suppose you could keep them the usual silver colour and add red to guns/helmets/shoulders if you can't do white to your satisfaction? Or whatever colour you choose as your purifier accent, might even be purple if you wanted. Or blue.

Gentlemanloser Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 I thought this would be about Minis, and some one would mention the Sigmarines. ;) (Having only just stumbled on them myself!)

Shadrach03 Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 It's funny you say that because I'm converting a liberator prime from the starter box to a knight of the flame now, although it is a slow going process. As for color scheme I don't have anything unique for ya but how are you doing your white? When I paint it I base with the lightest gray that I have and after that it is time for very thin coats of white until the surface looks good. On my last test model for my paint scheme it took maybe 7 or so passes for it to really even out. I also use something I picked up from a painter at games day several years ago called a wet palette to help thin the paint and keep it from drying out quickly in general. Start tray of some sort, I use a disposable plastic plate. Take a piece of paper towel and completely soak it, the thicker the paper towel the better to act as a wick for the water. Put a piece of parchment paper, you can find it next to wax paper in grocery stores, on top of the soaked paper towel. Press it in to get the water to wet on one side then flip it over and press it down again and boom, wet palette. Put your paint on top of that guy and it'll stay good for a very long time and it will naturally help thin them down to allow for a smoother application. If you want to thin it a bit more you can drag it around the palette a little or wet your brush on the paper towel bellow and bring more water up that way.

Gentlemanloser Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 How easy are the rest of them to convert? I think some Sigmarines would make nice Grey Knights. :) An Archaic feel and all. As long as we can get GK arms and Helmets (too Sanguinary Guard for my liking) on them.

Shadrach03 Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 It's been rough with the starter set guys since shoulders, arms and hands are all modeled together. If you get some liberator bodies, legs and arms you'd be in a good spot to add gk hands, shoulders, helms and backpacks. Then just add flavor with all of our little doodads and it should be good. I tried making a terminator out of a retributor and using the stormcast shoulders instead of terminator shoulders. It wasn't bad looking but if I did it again I would go with the terminator shoulders to inject more gk feel to it.

Hidicul Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 I hate painting white. I base black, then drybrush leadbelcher, followed by mithril. After that I paint the helmets white. The silver's seem to make the white go on easier and looks better. After that I use some earthshade to negate any little chalky looking spots.

Shadrach03 Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 I think a bright silver shoulder and helm could work if his armor is dark enough to make it pop.

Jegind Posted September 4, 2015 Author Share Posted September 4, 2015 Everytime i use my white color, and i have like 3 diffrent ones, it just looks damn awefull :( but think i got an idea about how i wanna do my purifiers. Wanna do em metaldark-ish, since my other Grey Knights looks like the "normal" ones in silver plate. Now i just need to find a great color for the helm and shoulders......thinking purp or blue.....
