nismogrendel Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 I was not sure if this was a topic to post here or in the PCA subforums. Mods please delete or move if I'm wrong here. So I have quite a bit of GK stuff lying around. I want to paint some of it up to ally into my IG. I've been watching a few vids and everyone seems to have a different base color/wash/drybrush/etc technique for these guys. Can you share your fav GK tutorials or post your own process? I like the silver/blue washed look the best I think.

Myunch Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Here's a link to one of the posts made about GK painting. http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/316769-warhammer-tv-does-grey-knights/?view=getnewpost I use this tutorial myself and I feel it's one of the best out there in explaining how to do it, especially the part for giving their armour that blue tint. =D Most videos you find out there will have different techniques for painting because, I feel, there is no one way to paint minis. Find what technique you like best that fits with your skill set. I found that dry brushing was easier when I first started painting, but now I use more layering techniques as I feel it gives me more of what I want my GK to look like, and that is not to say layering is a superior technique either, just that it's my preference.

Prot Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 that's a good one. I also have my own on the powerweapons I painted, and I do explain a lot of my process in my Grey Knights thread (see my signature link).

Damo1701 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 For the power armour etc. However, I prefer using my airbrush, and, after a decent base coat, I roughly airbrush up to Iron Breaker, then, drybrush Necron Compound. For the Force Weapons, and, as a guide to paint the canopies on my 2 GK 'Ravens. I've gotten better each time I've painted a squad of Force Weapons.
