Red Skullz Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Got a big (like massive) bits haul from a good friend. So instead of buying the Betrayal at Calth box I made my version of a Grey knight. http://i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a607/tomkristians/Mobile%20Uploads/IMAG2395_1_1_zpso8bdqfr9.jpg Fanaticism and wards against evil was key elements in my interpretation.

Olis Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 He looks a touch more Blanche-esque than regular Grey Knights. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosjetka Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 I'm liking it. A darker, more sinister twist on a Chapter I thought held no more surprises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Skullz Posted November 9, 2015 Author Share Posted November 9, 2015 @Olis: indeed, and I take that as a big compliment :) @Dosjetka: Cheers, high praise indeed :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Skullz Posted November 13, 2015 Author Share Posted November 13, 2015 Well inspired by Kari of Iron Sleet fame and his fantastic dread knight here's my take on a truescale dreadnought for the 666th. http://i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a607/tomkristians/Mobile%20Uploads/IMAG2399_1_zpsivstbhmh.jpg More pics https://bigbossredskullz.wordpress.com/2015/11/13/chapter-666-2-true-scale-dreadnought/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosjetka Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Mh. Less keen on the dread. The torso is too small for the legs, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Skullz Posted November 14, 2015 Author Share Posted November 14, 2015 Initially I thought the same but I'm warming up to it. More work done on Galis the Wrathful. http://i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a607/tomkristians/Mobile%20Uploads/IMAG2403_1_zpsuhdoc1mw.jpg More pics https://bigbossredskullz.wordpress.com/2015/11/14/chapter-666-3-galis-the-wrathful/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Skullz Posted November 16, 2015 Author Share Posted November 16, 2015 Thank you Rurik :) The base is done. I'm using the sand mixed with pva glue and bicarbonate soda on a regular basis now. I like the texture it creates. http://i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a607/tomkristians/Mobile%20Uploads/IMAG2407_1_zpsd3i5efvl.jpg More pics https://bigbossredskullz.wordpress.com/2015/11/16/chapter-666-4/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dosjetka Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Really liking Brother Dauger. The fusion of 40k tech and Middle Ages aesthetic works a charm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Skullz Posted November 18, 2015 Author Share Posted November 18, 2015 Cheers :D I'm also very fond of this one as I felt I really nailed the upper armour. Had to re-sculpt the large portions of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adeptus-Alaska Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 He looks a touch more Blanche-esque than regular Grey Knights. Really liking Brother Dauger. The fusion of 40k tech and Middle Ages aesthetic works a charm. could not have said anything better. these are awesome, not 100% sold on the dread, but I'm warming up to him. this is an example of the coolest aspect of this hobby. where a person makes a force totally his, veering away of the norm......well frikkin done. you have my respect!

Noctem Cultor Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 It's a nice change of pace, some interesting work. Personally I'd try to create a lower torso/waist around the same level as the shield on the banner, other than that I like the design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Skullz Posted November 19, 2015 Author Share Posted November 19, 2015 @Bloodbath: Thank you very much :) For me it came down to making space marine of any kind interesting to me. I don't know how many times I've tried but I've never hit the mark. Until now that is :) It seems like it's coming across how much I'm enjoying this. @Noctem Cultor: Thank you :) In hindsight maybe I would've done a few changes to the dread but I'm visualizing how I'm going to paint it and I think it will all come together in the end.

Xenith Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Looking good, very interesting perspective on the knights, and what makes this such a great hobby. I'm also not sold on the knight. I think the tabard ruins it - it seems attached to the waist, which obscures the lower torso, making the legs seem longer and body shorter. If you attached pennants between the legs, like on an imperial knight, then it would be much improved. Otherwise, top conversion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Skullz Posted November 22, 2015 Author Share Posted November 22, 2015 Thank you :) I'm not sure I agree on the tabard for the dread as I did much the same on my chaos knights. I'll leave it be for a while and think on it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearson73 Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 As above; the mix of parts and character of the marines are great, though I'm not 100% with the Dread Knight. I too think the torso is a little small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Skullz Posted November 22, 2015 Author Share Posted November 22, 2015 Cheers :) Well I probably should take it into consideration seeing as 60% of the feedback says the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Skullz Posted November 25, 2015 Author Share Posted November 25, 2015 I got a question on how my truescale Grey Knights look beside a HHH. I threw in a stock Space Marine as well. http://i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a607/tomkristians/Mobile%20Uploads/IMAG2433_1_zpsyvmq6xec.jpg More on how I truescale and on the subject in general https://bigbossredskullz.wordpress.com/2015/11/25/chapter-666-7-what-is-truescale/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
