Grey Knights - Last Squad...

...for now.

 Here are the other half of the power-armoured Grey Knights, and the last of a nice little commission.  There are currently no marines on the project table, but I am sure that will change soon.

 I like painting marines, they can get done fairly quick and they look good as a cohesive force.  The only time consuming part is the armour, and then it is just purity seals and details for the most part.

 I've done these Grey Knights' armour as simple as possible (being a table top quality job).  I started with cold steel (P3), washed with drakenhoff nightshade (gw), and highlighted it with chainmail (gw).

 Once they were all ready, (and pictures were taken), I sprayed them with purity seal (gw) which dulled down the metallic effect to an agreeable level.  I gloss varnished all the blades and plasma coils after the spray.

 It is entirely likely that there will be more GK's in the future, fate will tell...

 Until next round

Be well.

Grey Knights - Fire Support

 With the servitors I was able to get away from all the shiny metals, a bit.  Like many commission models, these arrived already converted (a combination of Cryxian mechanithrall and space marine plasma arms).  They make a simple and effective couple of fleshbots.

 The marines all have some type of heraldry on their shoulders, so the servitors also have some identifiers in the form of a cog-rune device.  The skin was done "borg-style" with greys and rotten flesh, complimented with mechanicum red.  The plasma effect was done similar to the blades of the knights, light red to orange, which I think turned out ok.

One squad left!!  Until next round, be well.

Grey Knights - Terminate!

 On the Grey Knight front, the terminators are finished!!  Here they are two at a time:

 The Grey Knights are fairly easy (although most marines are IMO), once the armour is done it is all details from there.

 I am like having red as the secondary colour, and dropping blue down to third, I think it gives them a more infernal look.

 After these guys are the two plasma servitors (converted from mechanithralls, woot!)  Then the last seven power armoured knights, possibly with a tutorial if the camera stops acting funny.

 I tried to get some heraldry on the shields, nothing too fancy, just some simple designs.  Each of them also have names, my two favourites are Ricalope and Grinto.  Some others I have lifted from the Heresy books.

 Until next round....

....keep painting!!

Grey Knights - First Squad

 The lack of posts of late have been due to yet another bout of progress! This is the first squad of Grey Knights in a small commission I recently acquired.

 The small strike force arrived in some bad shape, only the terminators were unharmed.  The mission is to make these loyal marines tabletop ready, a "standard" paintjob.

 I was requested to make the blades red, so I thought that a reversal with the traditional blues would would acceptable.

 I think that they turned out decent!

Until next round, be well.
