Pyriel Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Takes about 8-10 hours per mini with base, conversions and all. My aim is to paint up 25-ish terminators, 40-ish grey knights, 3 dreads, 3 landraiders ...aaand that´s about it ;) Finally came up with a nice colour scheme and figured out what to use for backpacks and shoulderpads as well as shoulderpad trims. The aim is to do this while not going insane (am starting to dream gray). http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v231/Pyriel/Miniatures/PAGKgroup.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v231/Pyriel/Miniatures/PAGK.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v231/Pyriel/Miniatures/PAGK2.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v231/Pyriel/Miniatures/PAGK1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v231/Pyriel/Miniatures/PAGK6.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v231/Pyriel/Miniatures/PAGK5.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v231/Pyriel/Miniatures/PAGK4.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v231/Pyriel/Miniatures/PAGK3.jpg Any ideas for improvement are gladly accepted!

Auedawen Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Well damn, and i thought mine were pretty nice for nearly the same amount of time. Well bugger, great job on them, I may have to steal the red Stormbolter bit to give mine a bit more color. Any plans to ink the parchment on those guys at all or are you just going to leave them as is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ambro Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 I like the way you have highlighted the armour going from a really dark black colour all the way to pure white. My colour scheme is similar to yours except I didnt highlight as extreme as that and I did the power weapons red as well. What colours did you use for the armour?

Pyriel Posted August 29, 2008 Author Share Posted August 29, 2008 The colours used for the armour are black and white in various combinations. I get true "grey" grey knights and I kinda fell for that finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambro Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Yea I think grey knights look better in grey than metallics as well, although mine didnt turn out as good as yours I think its because I didnt add that extra layer of extreme highlight like these so ill try it out and see if it improves them.

SpideyScott Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 perhaps if you have the time you could explain your method for painting them. Ive still got plenty of my own to paint and was wondering how you went about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Gabe Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Yea, it would be nice to see how you did those highlights. TOTALY AWSOME Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

number6 Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Truly excellent, Pyriel. Can't wait to see your GKTs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyriel Posted August 30, 2008 Author Share Posted August 30, 2008 When I finally get me a camera I´ll do a thorough tutorial on a GK. What bothers me is all this work put into them is in reality being punished. The LOS rules dont exactly favour wild poses and high bases ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_Armyman Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Beautiful work, Pyriel. Definitely some GKs you can be proud of. When painting an army to this standard, the one thing you can always be thankful for is the obscene points cost of the GK models :rolleyes: Less is more in this case! Probably the *only* criticism I can really make is that I would have liked to have seen the justicar's weapon painted slightly differently than his brethren, if for no other reason than in-game effects. And, yeah, it completely sucks that TLOS makes people like you pay a cost for nice bases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambro Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 And, yeah, it completely sucks that TLOS makes people like you pay a cost for nice bases. But remember you can see enemy models more easily as well because your stood on top of a rock. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianBlessed Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 These look fantastic, keep up the good work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GumbaFish Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 I'm not a huge fan of NMM but these do look pretty nice, and a whole army together would really standout on the table. I have to applaud you for the will to start a project like this, hopefully your sanity remains intact. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarKHaZZ13 Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 dude your looking at TLOS with RAW in mind too much it should be from how the model came... so the size of a standerd marine plus you get the added height for yourself rules aside these guys look fantastic and after seeing this thread I went out and bought myself some GK's don't know if I can pull off the NMM (I'm not a fan of NMM, but these guys look sweet - nice job) but GK's are cool either way can't wait to see the GKT's sooon?
