How to paint GK?


Recommended Posts

one time I tryed to paint a GK cos i had well, run out of models, and that was all i had :unsure:

hehehe :P

there was blotches of chainmail, and there wasnt a nice metalic 'shine' to it

i admit, i didnt put 100% effort into but, i dont stuff around with any GW models

so, tell me:

How do you paint the members of the Ordo Malleus?

i have recently discovered the truly amazing effect of paint grey knights in golden armour and it is so easy you cant fail.

 

Black primer

basecoat with Brazen Brass

Shining gold, leave allmost no Brass.

wash with either chestnut ink or flesh wash

high light with shining gold

High light with burnished gold

 

and if you want to, you can high light it again with 50/50 mithril silver and burnished gold.

Gold Armour Itac? this you must show!

 

For GK's you could paint them metal, or you could paint them grey.

 

Start with an undercoat of chaos black spray

Give a basecoat of codex grey (or if you want a slightly more mystical swish to them use shadow grey)

work up your highlights till your satisfied (usually using a ratio* of 3:1, 2:1, 1:1, 1:2 and then just the final highlight on its own)

then add details - weapons eyes etc. as desired

 

*the ratios are defined as being basecoat to highlight i.e 3:1
