WAR Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 I’ve been doing leadbelcher then heavy dry brush grey Knight steel and eventual a bikini oil wash once I block out the other colors before doing the storm host silver edge dry brush Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPS Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Decided to be lazy and purchase a rare painted Forgeworld Dreadnought and a painted Voldus. Pictures coming soon, hopefully this week. 1. Light wash with Drakenhoff Nightshade over Stormhost 2. 'Ardcoat wash over Stormhost 3. Lahmian Medium mixed with a blue (probably Ahriman Blue or Macragge Blue) to wash the entire miniatures. So which one would you think work best? And if you do any of the above, may I request pictures? All three options work for me, however I think option 1 or 2 would work the best because of my inexperience. Glossy is probably the vision I have in mind when painting Grey Knights. If I may throw in a 4th recommendation: - Leadbelcher undercoat - Drybrush a medium silver tone (I'm using Chainmail Silver from Vallejo) - Wash entire miniature with Gryph-Charger Grey - light drybrush medium silver tone to clean up any surfaces that ended up too stained by the Contrast paint - light drybrush of bright silver on the most exposed surfaces This is what I end up with: On a fully painted mini, it could look like this: Brother Lunkhead, Captain Coolpants and Skywrath 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skywrath Posted May 30, 2020 Author Share Posted May 30, 2020 (edited) Hey, welcome to the Halls of Titan! Always pleasant to see another Grey Knight join our brotherhood An interesting consideration for sure! That kind of silver you have in the second picture is the one I envision for the army, however I would want other's opinions as well before I finalise the decision.

casb1965 Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 I'm currently waiting on 9th before deciding, I want to add more Strike Squads and a Purgation squad but will wait until we know for sure points changes and whether we get Primaris or not.

Likewise. I do wonder whether this is the edition where we will finally get primaris. If not, then I'm afraid the GK will be left in the dust.

WAR Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 (edited) I still have a ton of stuff to build and paint for grey knights so I’m just working painting the built stuff for now. Granted 9e will change things but if I can get my 8e 500 pts painted and based at least I accomplished that instead of just painting a few models here and there to get them table top. My 8e gk Army was actually built for Kill team so extra motivation to get them all done.

WAR Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 3 built plus @ 50+ more unbuilt but that’s gonna be broken up into purifiers, inceptors, purgation, strikes and vehicle crew. Plus @ 20 terminators/ paladins to build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many Strike Squads do you currently have? I currently have 4 x 5 man squads and the same in Terminators. I want to try out a Purgation squad so will get some strikes and just amalgamate the heavy wweapons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WAR Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 And the next model in the queue: Brother Techmarine Talus Standard finecast bare head techmarine with servo harness. Replaced standard axe arm with strike squad marine arm. Modified stormbolter to be bolter with optics and single magazine instead of double magazine.

Skywrath Posted June 10, 2020 Author Share Posted June 10, 2020 Decided to embrace my inner Space Wolf (Dark Angel players that read this, please don't kill me), and jumped the gun with a conversion that would be considered illegal. Anyway, looks pretty good, although if I had a strike squad pauldron it would look better. Still pretty happy how the sculpt turned out - magnetising weapons as we speak. Presenting - the Grey Knight Apothecary! (Which may or may not have been primaris-fied, let's just assume that's artificer armor instead, m'kay?). Pictures in spoiler.

Skywrath Posted June 10, 2020 Author Share Posted June 10, 2020 (edited) Update: Due to :censored: with GW, the contrast spray thicked my miniature up something awful. As a result, it's now unsalvageable and hence the GK apothecary discarded. Great, there go 60 dollars. Edited June 10, 2020 by Skywrath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skywrath Posted June 10, 2020 Author Share Posted June 10, 2020 Don't have any of those at the current time. Trying to put it under hot water, maybe it the paint will chip off by itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAR Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 (edited) usually not in my experience... That really sucks I've been there a few times myself. One thing I did love about having a huge army pewter sisters is that if I the paint gets messed up some how carb cleaner fixes it. DO NOT TRY CARB CLEANER ON PLASTIC MODELS Edited June 10, 2020 by war009 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
