Grey Knights - The origins - the first 8


interkino

Recommended Posts

Hi, I'm a new member of B&C, that would share the concept about my GK army.

I've choose this site because I hope is the right way to get some help and advice ;)

 

My project on GK, instead is borned when the new codex was out. My GKs are different as concept, indeed, I would creating an unexpected army.

Now I’m going to explain my concept:

 

 

 

You remember the HH novels “The Flight of Eisenstein” ...I love it and all HH books

...In the days before the final confrontation between the Emperor and Horus, the Emperor told Malcador to summon "men of character, skill and determination" who would be tested and trained to become an elite group of investigators with the task of rooting out treachery and Heresy. This marked the founding of the Imperial Inquisition. Among the first Malcador approached for this duty were Death Guard hero Nathaniel Garro and former Sons of Horus Marine Captain Iacton Qruze...

Malcador tell: "men and women of inquisitive nature, hunters who might seek the witch, the traitor, the mutant, the xenos"

Are you remember? Well...

I'm going to creating an elite force made by the first 8 grand master of the grey knight!!!

I read different post on different community on this theme:

I need your support to go on my project, each advice is welcome

I wanted to make a new concept for this model for represent a termy armour between pre/post heresy however, dedicated at a special member of newborn Inquisition (GK in the case of Garro). Garro for now, in only a WIP, when I will painting it, I will post all the pics

Very cool concept, and what a fantastic start! Good job on the heresy era terminator armour, and I love the base for him. The back banner is fitting, though I would have thought, considering their role, they might not carry such things, but that is just personal preference.

 

The cloak is very well executed, did you make it form greenstuff? Overall looks like this is gearing to be a good thread!

Thank you so much Syth, your encouragement is welcome, I need it for go on :confused:

I've designed the concept of this armour for represent the aegis that servitor of Terra (or Titan) forged only for him...yes I think and belive that Garro could be the first GM of GK or else....Janus the first GM descripted in GK codex. Ok, I know the BG in this one, is not good, but I'm reading (slowly) all books of HH, and I'm realizing that these tomes are a very good sources of BG and cues. Soon I will take some photos about the base when I will finish to painting it :sweat:

I share your thinking about the back banner, but I choise it for a simple reason: A man that stay closely at Garro's side (a man of great confidence), and suddenly betrays him...reluctantly is then sacrificed on the personal symbol that represent the newborn chapter :P

 

I would make a special servoskull that could represent Kaleb, so that it can follow Garro after death

 

 

Most models are ready to be show, stay tuned for other stuff...

 

 

Ohhhh I was forgetting...the next (GM-GK) will be...

- Garviel Loken: http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Garviel_Loken#.TybSovmwV3I (alias Cerberus)

- Iacton Qruze: http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Iacton_Qruze#.TybSw_mwV3I

- Tylos Rubio: Ultramarines

- Dantioch: Iron Warrior

I would love to see that miniature painted. There is only one thing that could make it better in my opinion :D. The sword being thrust in the daemon. Nevertheless, it's fantastic :D.

I will be honest, when I first took a look at your log a week or so ago, I was very afraid you would not have the skills to paint it properly. I am now sorry I ever doubted you. Nice work, I am looking forward to seeing you paint the big man himself!

Whoah, the daemon looks great :). I'm not the biggest fan of flesh-coloured skin if on daemons, but on this trampled fellow it indeed looks amazingly good^^.

Thank you Tarvik...ah ah ah...your comment it's really nice

I hope to don't disappoint you with the next update.... :)

 

:jaw:

 

Liking this thread more and more. Great paintjob. Can't wait to see how you tackle Garro. Will you be using silver or just 'plain' grey?

 

Thank you Sith, too kind!

I Painting all my models (yes, I've already paint a lot of GK, I share it soon) with the silver (I like it: a special mix of vallejo and GW paints)

This are the GK who fought when Malcador founded the order....the proto GK...when you see my other models you can understand what I mean.

 

Wow. Just wow. Very nice painting and converting skills.

 

Thank you Coryphaus!! :)

 

Indeed...just 'Wow'. So awesome it hurts to wait for this to be completed.

 

Thank you Greyall, I appreciate your comment, I think that you can see it complete in about 1 or max 2week, in every case, I will add a little update (I hope) every day!

 

Whoah, the daemon looks great :). I'm not the biggest fan of flesh-coloured skin if on daemons, but on this trampled fellow it indeed looks amazingly good^^.

 

Last but not least... Thank you Behir.

At beginning I didn't know how it would be better to painting the skin, but then I've wanted to paint the pale skin as if the metamorphosis in daemon prince coming quickly without forewarning (Do you remember the metamorphosis of Solun Decius in the flight of the Eisenstein? I would to represent the same situation)

The daemon prince that I show is an arald of Mortarion...every man in my army have own nemesis ;)

 

And now to thank all of you...a little update

The base now is about at 80%, but I think that in the week end I could finish it :)

I take few pics for represent the whole model (the model is built with patafix for the moment...)

Amazing stuff. Love love love the downed daemon prince base.

 

Might be off here, but have you listened to the two Garro audiobooks yet? You mentioned Flight of the Eisenstein, and that you've seen the stuff on Lexicanum, but from your comments not sure. Well worth a listen.

 

Can't wait to see Rubio and Qruze.

It's expression is like: I was ascending, and then I've got a Garro in the face :). I do like it a lot. Can't wait to see the whole thing painted.

 

Exactly..."a lethal terminator jumpacked"... ;)

Tomorrow surely You could see more!

 

Amazing stuff. Love love love the downed daemon prince base.

Oh Thank you Aegnor, I listened the two audiobooks about 3 times, for a right understanding (unfortunately I'm not a English mothertongue) and I love it.

I've finished FoE last friday and I think that each books of HH series is really thrilling, I love the story of ascending of Solum, Now I'm reading Fulgrim and I think that Abnet e McNeill are my favourites....

....Having a great army of Pre heresy BA (soon I will create a specific thread), I can't wait for read http://www.blacklibrary.com/all-products/fear-to-tread.html

 

Loken and Qruze are next while Rubio...ehmmm...You are lucky...

 

Ok this is my representation of Tylos Rubio

I hate the idea to have not a description/characterization in the HH series of this Character, when my imagination will be stirred by a good description, I will think to remade the model following the new concept...

Then....this is my GK librarian

It's so vivid and rich, and all this tiny scribble looks neat. What is the role of the second servitor (the torso-only one)?

 

Oh yeah :) the role of flying servitor is that to help the librarian but I use it as a servoskull (for the rules)

Then I've cut the terminator's sword and I've pasted the sword of empire mage...

 

For more easy understanding...

Hi guys...I'm back for a little update!!!

The knight of the flame of purifiers squad

 

 

"...The times are changed..."

"I'm Kelar Valus, the first knight of the flames.

Capter's Grand Master Janus with Malcador the Sigillite found my order in secret, our chamber lie deep below the Fortress Monastery on Titan.

I lost part of my face when I and my lord were fighting side by side on a demoniac planet in the eye of terror, but I didn't miss the honour of our mission.

The devils in our heart never exists, only duty and bravery.

Our sword destoy the evil and we will enjoy it... For Terra, Janus and the Emperor.

WE ARE PURIFIRES."

 

(Extract of the "zelant rites")
