Man I love those Grey Knights.
How have they been converted? What legs have you used?

Hey PDH, haven't seen you around for a while! :-) thanks for the comment on the Knights but I can't take credit for them! they were built by BigH and they're a mix of Stormcast legs, marine and GK bodies and arms and GK backpacks. Gives them a more arcane look that works nicely with the fluff I think, they're been fun to paint too and should be done soon

Those Knights are very effective with such a minor conversion. I know what I will be doing with that free sigmarine now.
As for the paint scheme I really like the metal work. The darkness works much better than bright shiny eavy metal. How did you do the armour?
I've not been round a while. Been busy with Pilgrym stuff, moving house and I sort of hang out more in the Inq28 section on the Ammobunker. But when I find time I do like to catch up on some of the good threads over here....though there are probably loads of good ones I've missed.

Love the Knights Damo !
Little H is going to be well chuffed to have those as a Detachment to his regular marines !
For those interested, the conversion is straight forward but not necessarily simple. You take a Grey Knight body and remove the belt and stomach. Fit to the Sig-marine legs, you will probably need a small piece of sprue or something to act as a spacer and create the required stomach length , then sculpt green stuff abs back into the gap, if the body had insignia or details you liked on the original stomach you can carve them out of the bits you removed and add them now.
The body will look too narrow for the legs, add 1.5mm plasticard discs to the area the arms fit to and smooth greenstuff out on to the chest to even the lip out , this can be tricky to get smooth around all the details on the chest, but not too bad !
Now you will have to trim the arm angles a bit to get them to match up…….
The heads with moustaches and skull caps are from PuppetsWar.
There you go, simples !!!
Its pictured in my WIP blog if you're interested.
Thanks again Damo, can't wait to see them in person !

Cheers lads!
I've now finished the Wolf Priest so all the models will be wrapped and sent tomorrow for LittleH, I actually really liked painting this guy, he gave me a few ideas and I enjoyed doing the grittier style on him, i'm sure there's more I could have done on him since there's so many trinkets and pelts and small details but he's certainly painted well enough for a few battles in he Ale house! anyway it's not about what I like its what LittleH likes and I hope he does like it
And a little history of my life with Space Wolves; Waaaaaay back when the world was flat and dinosaurs still walked the earth I was about 14 and just getting into 40k trying to see what it was all about and like many young teens the mighty Space wolves took my fancy, those original metal Terminators with the paintjob and pelts were my pride and joy back in the day and I always wanted to build them and play an army but sadly I couldn't bring myself to keep going due to my abhorrent paint skills, so I stopped and went on a hiatus for many years until I was about 27 when travelling with a friend who was entrenched in the world of 40k and we stumbled across a SW Battle force going cheap so I bought it and started again! some of the earlier paint jobs are still on this blog or gallery and thy are terrible but I painted so many I burnt out on the wolves and tried something else which led to something else which then again led to something else! one day I'll do some more but I won't be following the current schemes for them as I prefer the earlier cleaner armour with the few tails and colours to differentiate them. On a side note I used a pot of original Space Wolf Grey I owned back then on him

He looks great. The style really suits the space wolves. You have done such a great job of making his face and hair leap out of the armour and it really sucks you in. The hair colour is a lovely rich tone.

What's the base model for that H? I recognize the arms, but I'm not super familiar with the SW models.
Nice paint Nerdy. Should look good throwing JotWW or whatever is good these days.

Hey Whaley ! The body was Njal Stormcaller(?) it was just the body I picked up from the FLGS for about 2 bucks ! The arms , weapons and bird are plastic bits mishmashed together from the bitskip.

Wow, that Wolf looks great! Really has the look of a veteran of a thousand battles. The armor is worn, but still clean-looking. Awesome color for the beard as well!
Love what Im seeing on the Knight as well... Thats my particular favorite "class" of knight, what with the spindly legs and whatnot... One of these days, its on my list to grab for myself

Great job on the GK's, i am not a huge fan of them but the conversion work is top notch along with the paint.
The space wolf i really really like. I like grey space wolves not the blue grey the gw studio uses. This kitbash is fantastic.
Now the atropos. I've done 2 fw knights and 2 gw knight's for a friends 30k mechanicum army. I really really dig the fw kits and the atropos is by far the best looking knight kit fw has put out yet. The head is fantastic, the lines on the armour look freat and the studio xana 2 bome paint looks aces.
You paint skills never fail to impress me especially your flesh so i can't wait to see where you go with this kit.
