Hello! I have recently kind of made a business out of painting stuff for my friends. Its kind of a trade based commission type of deal. This commission is greyknight army for a friend of mine which i am painting in exchange for 3 landaiders, a techmarine with servo harness and some bitz... maybe a couple gk terminators for parts too.

The challenge:

HQ: Coteaz
HQ: Inquisitor
Elites: Warrior acolytes x75 or so
Elites: Death cult assassins x 6 or so
Troops: 10man Grey Knight Strike squad
Vehicles: Chimera x3
Vehicles: Land Raider Redeemer
Fortification: Bastion.

So far I have finished the 2 HQs








He wanted me to paint this warrior acolyte up with special attention also because it is one of his favorite models. I have not done the flames yet because I want to do an OSL effect but I need to do some experimenting first. Really don’t want to mess this one up being that it has some sentimental value.


Any tips on what to do next would be appreciated . I have a feeling its just going to come down to just doing it and hoping for the best.
Finally here is the first test of the Grey Knight Strike Squad. I like to paint one guy all the way up first so I can figure out how I can achieve a certain look on the rest in slightly more efficient way on the rest. This guy didn’t take very long at all and I am hoping I will be able to pump out the rest of the squad in short order.




Don’t mind the blur on the last one, I accidently touched the camera lens with one of my greasy mitts.
Coming up I’ve got 2 dreadnoughts and the remainder of the GK strikers on deck. More to come!

Love the stuff! Your weathering is fantastic. I think your skills are beyond me giving you tips.

Can't wait to see more!

I just got the rest of the GK strike squad and the 2 dreads base colored, washed and ready for detail work. Hopefully I can some more done this weekend.



Going to try out techniques from this tutorial on this base. Should be fun. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/516378.page

The rest of the guys are coming along slowly but surely. Only have 3 left to get up to this stage before i can do the paint chips and metallics. Then i can knock out the power weapons and call it a day on these guys.
Hopefully I will be able to finish these guys by the end of next weekend or at least have everything done up to the force weapons.
