1st weeks progress, gotten the chaos lord done and I'm wrapping up the sorcerer, just a little cleanup. The rest of the vow has gotten their silver dry brush coat for the Metallics and I've started basecoating the purple on the despoilers.

Thank you buddy!

[Grotsmasha]

Two afternoons of stippling, washing and dry brushing have gotten the containers completed,

 

 

Next up some more heads for HD3, and the Grey Knights.

I just finished my vow for November!

One Broodlord (yes, that is a Space Wolf trying to pull it's tail)  as well as 5 more Genestealers. 

 

What is next?

I will make a start on my second entry for the Jokaero Challenge as well as 6 Genestealer hybrids. Not sure I will be able to finish these this month, though, we will see. 

[LameBeard]

Well I know it’s months late but I finished a few Tau.

 

 Spoiler shows the alternative weapon load outs on the Crisis suit.

Finally, I Lamebeard, return to the call of the 12 months of hobby for November, and vow to finish my Dark Angels Secret Santa (no pic because secret) and this kroot kit bash.

[Grotsmasha]

Finally built all the models I have bits for, and started on a test model,

 

1- Leadbelcher Spray over Black Prime

 

2- Grey Knights Steel heavy drybrush with Aethermatic Blue Contrast over top, then a lighter drybrush of Grey Knights Steel.

 

3- Base colours for Red, White, and Gold

 

4- Layers and washes on Red, White, and Gold. Highlight on Silver,

 

 

So, why the different swords? Well, I painted the traditional powersword blues and while they were fine, I wasn't feeling it, so I went with the green lightning effect I used on the Custodes Blade Champion commission I did a while back, and like it much more. From a time perspective, they're actually quite comparable, but my question is, does the green blades look too out of place on Grey Knights?

 

[LameBeard]

The blade with the lightning looks amazing.

 

It does not look green.

 It's based in Caliban Green, with first pass of lightning in white, then thinned Teradon Turquoise, with follow-up white dots as highlights for the lightning.

I think I may retry the lightning with blues and see if I like it more?

Have you considered re-toning using Incubi Darkness instead of Caliban Green?

[Grotsmasha]

So I went ahead and redid the blue sword, in the lightning effect style, and I like it more,

 

 

THEN I realised that Nemisis Force Weapons, ARE FORCE weapons, which I typically paint in purples...so I had to try it,

 

 

So, what day you? Green, Blue or Purple?

[Khulu]

I love that purple, but I always love purple so I am biased

Green is the best IMO, it fits this GK scheme

Sound job on him and that power fist with the weapon looks interesting.

I am curious about the nameplate on the base. Could you tell me more?

Well, purple-ish is my favorite color...

However, for these Grey Knights, I actually think boring old blue looks best.
