Heh, that daemon head detail is a nice touch.

@Mad - Cheers man, I thought it made it more Grey Knight with the addition, glad someone agrees

Update: Started on 3 little bitty terminators

Cool stuff! Fine work on the spartan and i'm likin' these little travelers for him as well!

@Justaerin - Thanks man!

Update: Washes applied

Back to the roots - nothing like a bunch of GK termies! Lovely highlighting as usual Knightley.

Glad to see you've been keeping busy! Is the squiggle god still not satisfied with your contributions after that bloody awesome titan or was it a, 'talent untold for a lifetime of servitude' sort of deal?

Seriously that titan is really something, it all is, you never seem to wobble. So which of your babies is bigger now, the titan or the wain?

@WarbossDakka - Cheers!

@Casey - Welcome back (been a while) I suspect that no matter how many squiggles are applied it will never be enough I measured the titan vs the little one, he towers over him, the little one is 3 and a half now, where has that time gone!

Update: Startomg the layering, red and some parchments first

Me oh my, time certainly marches on. Squiggles gona squiggle though, eh?

^ Those squiggle aren't going to squiggle themselves.

I love the effort that goes into your WIP shots. It's a mighty impressive record, and instruction manual at that.

@Casey - I know, its kind of scary how quickly they grow up.

@Graven - Thanks mate! I have tried to make pictures easier to see, sometimes that works, sometimes not so much.

Update: Got all but the edge highlighting of the grey (and squiggles) done

That power sword is impressive. You've come on a long way Knightley!

Cool stuff Knightley, just noticed the sergeant's legs. That certainly dates the models, but still work after all these years!

Above all the big and wonderful,your ability to churn out such amazing high standard troops is your real truly amazing talent. At this you are among the greats.

They look brilliant.

Hey I looked back about 10 pages and couldn't see the answer. Currently painting my grey knights army and loved the back backs you did!! Wondering how you achieved the blue and brass colours?
I don't own a airbrush so even the colours would be helpful, if you don't mind divulging!

@WarbossDakka - Heh, considering the blog started in Feb 2011, I'd agree with you

@Justaerin - I had a spare set of NDK pilot legs, what was I going to do, let them go to waist (Pun intended)

@Cam - Aww, you're far to kind, I would say there are easily better painters out there, I'm forever in awe at the skill I see on the boards, but to be considered great is a high honour indeed!

@Diesinthewarp - Welcome to the blog! Brass is Warplock Bronze, followed by a purple wash, then layer with warplock again, highlight with Hashut Copper. Blue is Macgragge blue base, black wash, macragge blue layer, enchanted blue layer, ice blue highlight, skull white extreme highlight. I hope that helps.

Update: Terminators done, crappy lighting as one of my normal lights gave up the ghost and its base shattered, so only 3 lights to form a light box and the shadows are horrible.

Looking mighty fine my friend. Mighty fine indeed!

It's not too noticeable, hopefully you can get a replacement (shouldn't be too difficult). Anyway, the highlights are great, as they are at just the right colours to give a consistant gradient as you get towards the top of the model. Awesome work Knightley, what's next on the to-do list?

Iffy lighting or not, another unit joins the ranks in the resplendent grey armour we know and love.

Can't remember if we've discussed this before but how do you store the army? If it was me I'd have it all on display but it would take up a lot of space and I'm guessing a lot of dusting.

Been a little bit since I checked in on this blog. The Spartan turned out great, and so did these Termies. I love Grey Knight models, although if I get some I'll probably do the standard metallic finish on their armor. Which is not to say I don't like yours; one of the best things in this hobby is seeing many different people's artistic take on the same models! I'd kind of like to see what you could do with the GK character in the Triumvirate of the Primarch, or maybe even what you could do with Guilliman himself, although I'm not sure if there's room for any squiggles on that busy model.

@Gits - Cheers

@WarbossDakka - Thanks! Next I have is more troops, I have two squads of interceptors (making 4 total) two 5 man strike squads, a 5 man paladin squad and a 5 man purifier squad.

@Casey - I am still looking at a reliable way to show the army, currently space dictates they be housed in GW cases and plastic boxes, I am scheduled to move house again in the next 3 years or so and I may have a better area to set up display cases, so for now I have this


@Zerg - Agreed, I really like looking at peoples takes on classic models, LDP have a very amazing way he paints his Ultramarines, dark and resplendent, yet on the flip side mray01 has very vibrant and amazing ultramarine models (very old thread here - https://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/262956.page) Funny you mention the new GK and Triumvirate set, I've pre-ordered it, if only for Cypher and the GK, I figured that LDP might be a little interested in Guilliman and could potentially buy it from me.

Update: Next Interceptor squad underway

Do I sense some old metals in that squad? Some very familiar poses and details jumping out at me.

That's a nice storage solution, very neat and easy to access, hopefully you'll have room for display one day.

@Casey - Oh yes, of the models in this push, there is about 50% old metal model in there.

Update: Didn't get a lot of time, so only a few more colours laid out.

Not gonna lie, seeing you paint GK makes me wanna start a small army even more! They've been on my mind since I started painting Exorcist marines...

Love the way you continue to merge parts old and new. Makes me a little misty eyed...

The Grey Knights came out, erm, Grey-t!

Seriously though, the terminators have come out very nicely, and the regular GK marines look like they'll be just as good.

You must have at least a chapter's worth of Grey Knights now, surely?

Great stuff as usual, Knightley .

When was the last time you had them all out for an army shot? Or are you bumping up against critical levels of awesomeness, where if you got them all together they would form some sort of critical mass singularity and break the universe? So you can only dole out small teases for the safety of us all?

I can’t imagine GW boxes are the most economical way to store an army. If you are going to expand, I might look into KR Multicase. Their whole philosophy is based on neatly stacked storage boxes you just pop into a bag to take down to the FLGS.

If you see LDP, and he’s not planning on getting Guilliman, do me a favor and give him a “I’m so disappointed in you” look for me. I wouldn’t ask you to chain him to his workbench and force him to paint it, but I wouldn’t say no to that either. His own blog has been a bit quiet here, or I’d just harangue him myself there. But the world needs to see his take on RG.

Nice progress on the last batch of knights there.

Those power swords look wicked!

The rest of the models look great as well, but the swords really catch the eye

Awesome work on the Spartan dude.

Already burning through more high quality infantry, your hobby progress is simply relentless!

EDC

@Justaerin - This is a good thing! I hope I can help motivate you to get some GK lovin' I'll have to stop by and offer my comments if you do

@Graven - Cheers man, whats interesting as these models were the unpainted ones from your "Graven Knights" I brought from you a while back, the legend continues

@Azazelx - Love the pun! and thanks for the kind comments.

@AoV - Getting close to a brotherhood I would think, Still have some more things to finish it off

@Nev - I think everything was out in January for the end of year photograph, that was what we in the business call a "Armagedd-omglookatallthemodels' I agree with the economical way, only my GK's are in GW cases, the rest are in the plastic bins filled with foam, its slight more economical that way. LDP is down at university at the moment which is why his blog is a wee bit quite, trust me though the Gulliman is earmarked for him. If he doesn't want it I'll make is some Marine god for my army.

@Mad - Thanks man, sword and faces seem to be my jam eh?

@EDC - Relentless? I reckon consistent would be more an apt name at this point!

Update: Washes done, gah it takes so loooong!

I just noticed something. How do you choose what stages to build up to? For example you've left the Halberd arm off, as well as the backpacks. Do you prefer doing them separately?

Either way, great work. White and grey are amazing colours when put together.

@WarbossDakka - Tough call, if you'd asked me that question 3 years ago I would have said I would keep bits separate to ensure all surfaces get paint. However now, I plan on assembling the whole model and paint only the bits that can be seen, in this case the models arm fell off so I'll glue it back on once I get to the last stage

Update: Reds started, only got about 20-30 mins of painting.

Progress is progress Knightley, don't belittle it! I'd love to get 20 minutes of painting in every day, I have an UM herald to paint!

Coming together very nicely as always!

Reds look brill Knightley.

@Justaerin - Ha, best you get on to it then jokes aside some days I wonder if I will get any painting done!

@Casey - Thanks man

@WarbossDakka - Cheers buddy!

Update: Red finished off, parchment and skulls done

Those are really coming together Knightley.

@Gits - Thanks, its a slow burn on these ones, being old metal some of the edges aren't as 'Crisp' as I would like it.

Update: Blades and some metals done

You have to give the old models some credit, those indents on the gun barrels are so much easier to drill. Anyway, they seem to be getting there, as usual the power weapons are looking fantastic.

They may be old but they have a certain something, they are looking great.

Yep, nice progress and great looking models!

@WarbossDakka - Yeah, as much as I complain about the edges, the design and over all aesthetic really speaks my language and my favourite models have to go to the GK metal Terminators.

@Cam - Nice to see I have some agreement on the looks

@Az - Thanks dude!

Update: Edge highlighting underway!

Don't know what it is with Space Marines, but I CANNOT for the life of me edge highlight the shoulder pads. The bottom curve gets me every time. Oh, and nice highlighting too

Looking tight, mate! Almost ready to banish some daemons back to the warp.

@WarbossDakka - Eh, don't look at me I fail a lot of the time as well, some of those curves just don't agree with my paint brush

@Casey - Oh yes, ready to warp in and take some names.

Update: Squad done

They look fantastic Knightley, well done!

 WarbossDakka wrote:

Yeah same here mate. Pain in the backside!

Which is why I now do this ...

I forget, is that squad 987,436 or 987,437? And how long did it take them to get the twirl choreography down?

Seriously they look awesome, you really make me want to paint! There's just something about the cohesion of a well painted unit.

@Gits - Thank you!

@AoV - Ooh, thats a very useful option to do highlighting on shoulder pads, I wish I had known this earlier.

@Casey - At last must it was 567,987 we lost a large number in the purge of 2014, may they all rest in pieces.

Update: No rest for the wicked, onto the last interceptor squad

Great work again Knightley, let's finish the job!

@Justaerin - Heck yeah! I want to paint newer models now!

Update: Some more base colours laid out

It's already looking pretty good considering it's only the base colours. Great work Knightley

Gotta love those metal Grey Knights, awesome miniatures. What's after these?

@WarbossDakka - Cheers, it seems to be a longer process than normal at the moment, not sure why that is.

@Casey - After these interceptors its either 10 Strike Marines, 5 Paladins or 5 Purifiers.

Update: Washes starting to be applied

Update: Started highlighting the reds

Looking good man!

Sooo many interceptors. Finished squads are looking great, keep plugging away buddy.

EDC

@Casey - Thanks dude!

@EDC - Yeah I know, 4 squads total once this lot are done :S

Update: reds finished, parchment underway

They are looking mighty fine sir.

I see you have kept up your solid pace and quality, great to see. Makes me wonder if I could be a bit more disciplined when it comes to sitting down and painting for smaller sessions, I find I end up doing one or two big sessions at the moment.

@Cam - Thank you kind sir!

@Mad - It is such a hard rhythm to get into, but once its in there you can get things done

Update: Parchment done, blues underway!

I like the dark face-plates. They haven't all had that, have they?

@Gits - Yeah, all the interceptors have black face plates, it was a random choice when I did the first one (it was to separate them from the strike squad I was doing at the time)

Update: edge highlighting underway!

Nice new additions!

Black face plate is a nice touch!

Real nice Knightley, real nice! The blue blades have almost a constellation feel to them.

I love that guy on the right. He looks like he could be a HQ!

@Solar - Cheers, I think it breaks up the sea of grey.

@Justaerin - Kind of what I was going for, I was hoping a helix, minus one band (better fighters get the full helix)

@WarbossDakka - Cheers! I probably could use him as a Brotherhood champion

Update: Face done, finished up some of the edge higlighting on the armour of one model, only three more to do.

Knightly,
I'm thoroughly impressed with you grey knight paint scheme's consistency over the years. Still some of the cleanest painting around. You can definitely see improvement in you details though. Current faces are looking really good!

@Moltar - Long time no see buddy It's interesting you mention improvement, I can definitely say there have been some adjustments on how I paint faces, but I feel overall the rest of the models have become a little quicker but with less 'finesse' but thats just me

Update: Some squiggles added! final pics to come!

Nice work Knightley, even without the "proper" photos can see this squad is up to the usual high standard, although I think the heavy flamer on the left is having a few gear issues

Loving the squiggles Knightley, they're very nice models

@Mad - Haha yeah, Lt. Dan I can't feel my face.... Thats cuz you don't have a face son!

@WarbossDakka - Thanks!

Update: Models done

Those look fantastic Knightley.. as always.

Yes.. you have the work process down for sure.

Are we going to see a complete Army shot to date sometime soon? You must have a whole chapter by now.

@Gits - Cheers mate!

@Solar - I tell you what, once I finish this push I'll do a GK/SM pic of all the completed models for everyone. How does that sound?

Update: Last year I played in a couple of D&D games as a player I quickly realised I wanted people to run around in my head, so I've been working on being a DM for a group of mates. All up we're onto session 6 with the last two being everyone in the same team together, and the feedback so far is they really like it, so much so that two of the players have had models from www.heroforge.com created and they have asked me to paint them. So for the next couple of weeks expect WIP's of some D&D models

First up is Garion Von Adel, Human Paladin of the Order of the White Gauntlet. I've not had a lot of restrictions to work on, so the player provided his family crest for me (going on the cloak) and said put a white gauntlet on the sheild, so here we are. Oh he also has a scar going from his temple to the back of his neck (covered with hair at the back)

Update: time to apply washes

Lush. Great job, Mr. Grats on house BTW.

After what you produced for your own D&D model I'm keen to see what you produce for your mates.

Looking good so far, free hand is going to be choice I reckon. Order of the White Gauntlet... the white hand of Saruman... this human could go down a darker path

@Graven - Thank mate, buying a house is a very expensive endeavour

@Mad - Agreed! I am planning on tempting the Paladin with some dark options to see if I can bait him *insert evil laugh*

Update: So showed my mate his washed model, he had feed back about the shield design and thought he had told me he had redesigned the look, so now its been updated as welll!

Very nice metals. but expected no less!

Awww, the White hand of Saruman is gone off the shield

Change looks good though, and the cloak I feel it gonna be wicked.

Heh, I remember you doing the Paladin last year, it was some of your best works. This guy is shaping up to be the same, the family crest looks really good already. The freehand is great Knightley, well done. Glad to hear you've got yourself really into the RP sessions!

@Solar - Thanks, I still need to do a lot of work on my highlighting metals, I get very complacent and make to many mistakes with them.

@Mad - I know, I had grand designs on how it would have looked, I guess this one will have to do eh

@WarbossDakka - Yeah, there is so much planning and content creation involved, I only had an inkling of what I was getting myself into!

Update: Pretty much finished the shield and cloak

Lovely shaded detailing. Awesome.

Very well done my friend!

Simply beautiful Knightley. These D&D minis are an excellent change of pace from the usual GK work. Though I suppose it's no coincidence that he's a paladin, no?

Brilliant work all round, your crispy goodness goes well on the D&D figure. Nice squiggles. Be nice to see the fancy colourful first letter squiggles on the shield though.

Looking pretty ace Knightley.

One bit bit of feedback from myself is regarding the symbol on the cloak. The bottom shield part of it seems to blend in with the cloak colour too much and it's not really differentiated.

Could be the photo washing the colours together, or maybe thats the effect your after, just thought I'd make mention of it.

The shield looks awesome though

Cheers.

Awesome metallics mate. He's looking great

@Graven - Thanks man!

@Gits - Cheers

@Justaerin - You could say it was planned, but my mate, like me, loves paladins so he was always going to play one.

@Cam - Good point, I had thought about doing that, but couldn't decided on a colour to use, thoughts?

@Mad - Totally the washed out whites, there *should* be a dark line to separate out the sheild from cloak, and the cloak *should* be a fraction darker

@WarbossDakka - Thank you!

Update: Finished the Front to allow him to be used in the game over the weekend, my mate loves it!

Been a while since I chimed in here. The Paladin looks great, as do those Grey Knight Interceptors.

@Zerg - Thanks dude!

Update: On to model number two, this one is a half elf Sorcerer, I got a few guidelines from my friend, She wanted white hair with a slight silver sheen, the character is low born, so wouldn't have a lot of fancy clothes and has blue eyes.

A sorceress armed with a crossbow and knives... that is a cool looking model.

Looking forward to seeing what you do with the hair in particular on this model.

That Knight for D&D looks amazing. Top work dude.

EDC

The Paladin looks great Knightley. The cloth has been done very well! I'll be taking notes on this next one for clothing.

Getting a real steampunk sorceress vibe there, very Warmachine. Love it.

@Mad - Yeah I like the design, not sold on the Crossbow, but hey my mate wanted it like that!

@EDC - Thanks man

@WarbossDakka - Oooh, applying the expectation pressure eh, lets see what I can do!

@Graven - Certainly not like any sorcerer I've ever seen before

Update: washes applied, I went a bit overboard on the hair, its going to require some fixing I feel

That's nicely done Knightley... very delicate.

Ooh, nice. I like how the detail on the crossbow is coming along.

@Gits - Agreed! every time I touch this model I get a feeling it could break at any point, I think its due to a single contact point with a thin ankle.

@AshNomad - Welcome to the blog! stick around I have some small plans for this crossbow

Update: painted a necklace as it wasn't an option when creating the mini, did some first stage stuff on the hair and a first layer on the pants

I bet you'll do better under a bit of pressure. Nothing competitive, just some friendly expectation

They look dope, man. Always nice to see you diversify a little now and again.

So what was that you were saying about a full Marine army shot?

@WarbossDakka - I know right, nothing OTT, just subdued and awesome

@Casey - Hah, you'll need to wait till I have this push done, then you'll get the photo

Update: bunch of stuff done, gave the hair a silver wash (really watered down bright silver) and some skin

Stunning work sir, it's all brilliant, but her face is superb, really great work bud.

I love the vibrant blues, it's so much easier to look at when there isn't hundreds of colours going on. Well done!

Love the blues myself, but i'm blown away by the texture and detail on the wooden bits. Keep it up!

Haha, I know, I'll wait patiently.

She's looking awesome, that wood grain! Any chance of a scale shot next to a marine? These are much bigger aren't they?

@Cam - Thanks man!

@WarbossDakka - Thats what I was going for, basic colors and nothing over the top (of course the ice ball is complex by comparison)

@Justaerin - Thank you, I tried something different for that as well.

@Casey - they are basically the same size, maybe a tad bit taller.

Update: model done, did some work on the base.

Really stellar mate. Though I note you once again managed "crisp and grey"!

Well done Knightley. I will be using this as clothing reference material

@Gits - Ah yes, perhaps I needed to dirty things up a bit more. I tell you what, the next none-GK thing I do I'll try make it grimy and weathered?

@WarbossDakka - Ooh, happy to provide a guide on that!

Update: On to some purifiers!

I really like that Sorceress, model looks great and you have done it good justice, the hair is nicely done and the blue you have used for the eyes is really catching... great work!

Purifiers with banners... looking forward to seeing what you do on those!

Is that necklace actually just freehand on a flat surface?

Holy jesus, man. Thats impressive :O

Actually... I think elves and the like should be crisp and grey... so I approve wholeheartedly.

@Mad - Thanks man, that muculoid looks very gribbly indeed!

@PossumCraft - Welcome to the blog! The necklace is free hand, my mate wanted to sculpt something but didn't rate the skills required, I said I'd just paint it on and they are very happy with the look.

@Gits - Well then, thats it settled, however the offer still stands on the next non-marine model.

Update: blocking in more colours, forgot how much detail is on these guys, its going to take a while!

Curious choice going with banners on every guy, should be interesting when they are all done. I assume that is where the majority of the squiggles are going on these? Also, that sorceress you did earlier is very well done!

Great work on the pair of D&D heroes. Very nice start on the purifiers as well.

Excellent job on the D&D mini, looks very clean! To echo everyone else's statements, the banners are a really cool choice and I can't wait to see them squiggled up!

@Zerg - Yeah, it was an interesting choice, the prior 2 squads have them as well, check them out in the spoilers


@Azazelx - Thank you!

@Justaerin - Cheers

Update: Was at a conference yesterday and was to tired to paint once I got home, so nothing from yesterday, today however, you get some more painting! Pretty much finished the base colours, onto washes next!

Update: Started shading on the armour and the bone/parchments, boy this bit takes ages!

That's because you paint 5 models in the same time it takes most of us to paint one model...

More like base coats for 1 for me .

@Gits - This year seems to be dragging when it comes to models, I'm itching to get into some new plastics, thats for sure!

@WarbossDakka - Ha! my advice is an hour a day, thats all you need.

Update: fully applied washes to all 5 of the guys

Natural light does a good job of highlighting by itself. Save yourself the effort of highlighting and bring a load of lights with you to every game!

@WarbossDakka - Haha, I'll just move this squad 6" and its supporting lighting will run 12" so it can get in range of the close combat next turn

Update: started on the reds

Update: continuing highlighting the reds

Update: Red still going as well as bone colours underway

wow those are looking super clean and fresh knightley!

Man those look good!

Purifiers coming along really nicely mate.

Almost to the power effects on blades and squiggles and freehand on banners part.... I like those updates because they pull the models from great up to a whole other level.

Thanks for the game yesterday as well, was awesome fun! I'll get a battle summary up in my paint log in the next couple of days

I haven't commented in awhile knightley, but I thought you should know.

You da man.

@Bebop - Thanks man!

@Gits - Cheers

@Mad - No worries, it was an intense game for sure! I look forward to your write up

@Ice - Always glad to see you posting Ice, perhaps in a few weeks your fluff blog may get a post eh?

Update:
I had an action packed weekend, Friday night had the adventures of my D&D gaming group that I DM for, they left the night on a cliff hanger and they are already hounding me for the next game!
Saturday had my normal Airsoft in the morning, however had a game Vs Mad in the afternoon, A very bloody battle, units getting removed from the table each turn, left on a state of flux which I'll let him explain in his Battle Report, Sunday had the morning spent with the little one, checking out the new house we brought and taking measurements (trying to find a good place for the gaming table!) and in the afternoon an impromptu game against another friend, Orks vs Necrons... I'd like to say I did well, but I would by lying, I managed to kill 3 full units of Orks, and I was left with 1 tomb blade, 4 immortals, 4 warriors, my Lord and 3 Spyders at the end. His dice were on fire, mine were on ice, so many failed saves everywhere and his first turn was brutal (shock attack gun got boxcars on its first shot and produced a large blast vortex right on top of my warlord and 20 warriors. It all went down hill from there.

Oh and painting wise the bone colour is basically done

Heh, write up is all done.... managed to get a bit of time to throw into it, it's in my painting blog in sig

Purifiers are looking nice and crisp.

Those guys are shaping up nicely, looks like they'll be done soon. Glad to hear you've had a good weekend!

@Mad - Great write up! Everyone should go have a read

@WarbossDakka - Thanks!

Update: Metals underway!

Nice work on the two D&D models, Knightley - and good to see that Papa Squiggles is still working on his Knights.

Squad looks great Knightley... really well done. Great addition to your massive force.

@Dysartes - Cheers! I hope to squiggles these guys home shortly

@Gits - Yeah having them look similar to the rest really does help, I was worried that after 2 years gap from the last lot I would forget how to do them.

Update: Lefts get some blue on these chaps eh?

Very nice too. Love the fact they'very all got banners which by the look of it will be personalised.

EDC

May the 4th be with you all!

@EDC - Yeah, they are an elite unit after all eh?

Update: armour edge highlighting underway!

Gods these are looking spectacular.

Great highlighting Knightley. These are really good!

@Cam - Well hopefully the squiggles adds more to them

@WarbossDakka - Thank you!

Update: Purifiers done!

Update: Had an enjoyable weekend, Birthday was on Sunday so had lots of family time, however I did manage to do a little bit of painting.

Happy b'day bud.

Yeah squiggles make them even more.......amazing.

And he pumps out another 5 in a spare 5 minutes!!

Happy birthday Knightley (better late than never ). Great job on the finished Purifiers, the finished banners with the classic squiggles are full of character, well done!

@Cam - Thanks

@WarbossDakka - Cheers!

Update: more base colours done

Update: Washes applied, next up, lets lighten the load

Happy Birthday Bro! How does it feel turning 80?

Happy Birthday Knightly!

You're already at another 5 Grey Knights! I'll be damned brother. Your edge highlighting is so clean, it makes me self conscious about my Dark Angels!

Nice job on the Purifiers. And you're already crunching our the next squad! You pace and quality is always inspirational.

EDC

A happy belated birthday to you, good sir! You're absolutely zooming through these models, and with no small amount of detail! Keep it up compadre!

@Ice - Turning 80 was the biggest let down, I went from a healthy young man in my youth to a crotchety old man in the space of a 8 hour sleep, mind blowing really

@Master Azalle - You're to kind sir! they look great at 1 foot in distance, but when you look up real close they all fall to pieces!

@EDC - Thank you! after this batch I only have 10 models left to paint! Super excited about building some new models that's for sure

@Justaerin - Thanks man, I'll keep trucking on if you do

Update: reds underway!

Sounds like better glue is required, Papa Squiggle

The latest WIP squad is continuing to look good - though you mentioned building some new models. What's in the pipeline?

@Dysartes - Hahah more glue or less sausage thumbs with an iron grip Regarding the next lot there is a number of marines that I would like to get done, including a second Knight Castigator. I have a lot to do (if you look on the front page under 'To Do' you can see all the models I have to assemble/paint) but I'd like to do a few characters in the next lot.

Update: Blues and Parchments underway

Looking good sir.

Thanks Gits,

Update: on to the edge highlighting of the armour

Looking sweet Knightley! Highlights are of course looking crisp.

Thanks Warboss!

Update: Finishing up the Armour highlighting then its on to squiggles!

Been a while since I chimed in here. Those Purifiers turned out great, and this latest Strike squad is shaping up to be awesome as well. The gray scheme for these guys is growing on me as I see more of your squads. It's always interesting to see someone paint something differently to how everyone else paints it. Personally I'm too attached to the fluff to do that, which is why my Dark Angels are the standard green, with black Ravenwing and bone Deathwing. Looking forward to seeing the finished product (complete with squiggles of course!).

Echoing Zerg here, coming into the home stretch with another fine group of greys!
It is an excellent change of pace to see them truly grey, and not silver. I'd almost reserve that color for ranking officers.

Nearly time for the be-squiggling? Perfect time to say they're looking rather good, Knightley - going with minimal lightning on the force weapons this time?

@Zerg - I completely agree with you, I am a big stickler for fluff, however when I tried painting silver, it was the worst experience I ever had and couldn't stomach doing a full army like that, it did necessitate a change, and while its not perfect I do like it a lot

@Justaerin - I have a change of colour for the "elites" being that dark grey and for GK high rankers they get that treatment *cough* Draigo *cough*

@Dysartes - The Squiggling has completed, see below and yes, these ones aren't getting a full on energy blade mix like the Purifiers.

Update: And with that another squad is completed

Yet another lovely squad pumped out, great work, personally like the grey, no idea about the fluff, just know that this army is spectacular, and squiggly.

Busy boy! Looking crispy as ever. Army shot? Recap for page 200?!

Purifiers and strike squad look ace Knightley!

Glad you have recovered from the Birthday weekend

@Cam - "spectacular, and squiggly." I need to get this in my signature somehow

@Graven - I suspect I'll finish this push prior to 200 pages, so an army shot will happen before then. But a recap could work, go through the highlights of the past 7 years I've been posting here.... 7 years on this blog, thats a large number now.

@Mad - Thanks dude, yeah took me longer than normal, I must be getting old

Update: Not breaking stride, onto the the next squad! base colours starting to be applied

All have a different pose... nice.

I see the back right one has parchment, squiggle time!

What's that on the front right one that the sword is stuck into, I can't quite make it out.

I do like the pose of the guy on the right of the front row - I'm guessing he be a plastic Knight(ley)?

No rest for the wicked here. Looking forward to that full army shot here Knightley!

@Mad - Thanks man, the front right has a nurgle demon head on the ground comes part of the new GK range (I had to include it in this squad)

@Dysartes - Partly, the body is the old metal, but the sword arm and should pad are new plastic

@Justaerin - Course not, I'm on the home stretch now, not many models left to go!

Update: finishing up the base colours and started with some washes

Little late, but those last two squads look fantastic, Knightley!

@Moltar - Thanks man, better late than never!

Update: washes almost done

Love the head on left end and scroll on right end guy.

Looking good Knightley - how're you planning to have the Plaguebearer head end up?

@Graven - You should both of them were your creation, they were the unpainted ones from the Graven Knights I brought a while back

@Dysartes - Silver with a green wash a could of times

Update: Get some of those layers!

Of this, I am aware they are triumphant me old china.

Very nice!! Love the way they're popping!

@Graven - I saw them languishing in the box, I had to give them a new lease on life, hopefully they look as you intended

@Gits - Thanks!

Update: Getting closer to the end, just the reds to do

Update: Reds done!

Nearly time for the besquiggling, Knightley? And possibly some lightning on the force weapons?

You've done them proud mate.

Ahhh yes, now there is some paint on the head I can see what it is, the horn helps give it a direction etc.

The squad is looking awesome bro! Bring on the squiggling!

@Dysartes - Course, I can't leave the weapons untouched

@Graven - Thanks dude!

@Mad - Touch down on the squiggling!

Update: Models done!

Nice! They look fantastic.

Manufique!

Awesome work as always, Knightley! This is going to be one hell of an army when you've finished it all.

You know if you were not such a great painter and your squiggles so attractive this blog might get repetitive, As it is, we have another fantastic looking squad, brilliant work sir. Always look forward to clicking your blog.

@Warboss_Waaazag - Thanks man!

@Gits - Cheers

@Zerg - I know right, there isn't much left to do with the GK's! but there is heaps for my marines

@Cam - I sometimes worry it gets repetitive which is why I did a couple of years of randoms (Tau, Necrons and Chaos Demons)

Update: Been working on 5 Paladins throughout the days each has a different start to see what is quicker to do

Update; Boy this is fun, each are at different stages and some is quicker than others

Is it making it harder to do the whole squad when you do different stages on each one? It would seem that it'd be hard to keep track. Plus a lot of switching paints. They look good so far though!

Continuing to pump out the fantastic work. Love the pose of the hammer dude.

EDC

Looking sharp! Very clean

Great work here once again mate. Two squads of PA guys finished since I last looked in, and the terminators are looking really nice. I'll second the request for an updated army shot sometime in the near future!

@Zerg - Oh yes, getting into a flow then having to put it all aside to edge highlight armour means I have to really be on the ball to ensure I don't miss things, but it isn't monotonous thats for sure!

@EDC - Thanks dude!

@Aetare - Welcome to the blog! thanks for the comment

@Azazelx - As soon as these guys are done you'll get an army shot

Update: More random bits done

Looking good.

You my friend, are a machine. A squiggly one... but a machine none-the-less.

Yeah, I thought I was doing well to finish two models this week, and you're on track to finish two squads!

Headless Knights are a new one on me, I must say.

@Warboss_Waaazag - Thanks

@Gits - Well I'm going to be a happy squiggly machine who gets to make some new models (I haven't made anything for over 8 months if not more)

@Dysartes - Ha! It wont be two squads of guys in a week, but still I am going fast at this point (stay tuned for faces soon)

Update: Almost done

Update: Don't get aHEAD of yourselves

Your faces are fantastic Knightley.

Thanks Gits, the offer still stands btw, if you want me to paint up a bunch of heads for potential models let me know.

Update: Models done!






Group shot


Edit: Not sure why these are bloody dark, they look find on my PC when I edited them :S

Paladins look great! I love the use of the Deathwing Knight heads.

The hooded heads work pretty well, Knightley - any plans to convert up some Primaris Grey Knights once the proper kits for 8th Ed drop (as opposed to starter set models)?

Oh you spoiled it, I thought you had a squad of invisible men, guess they look quite good with heads though. Fantastic work on the faces.

I haven't forgotten my friend. Kind of biding my time for some nice heads (that aren't space wolves) to fall into my hands.

@Zerg - Cheers, some of them needed to cut down as the had wide jaw areas and it didn't work with the head area, happy they work

@Dysartes - I have thought about it, but I have made my self a promise of not buying any more models till I have finished all the back log, I really like the look so its a good motivator!

@Cam - Hahah, just play them with no heads and call them invisible, love it

@Gits - No worries, I'm happy to wait.

Update: Here is the Thirteenth push picture, tomorrow will be the current marine/GK army shot as you've all asked so nicely

@Gits - Thanks man, slow and steady imo

@Graven - Just gotta get through an hour a night and jobs a good one!

Update: Now for the group marine + GK shots

Holy crap, you've been productive! That is one impressive army! I have trouble staying motivated to paint that much; I end up getting either bored or constantly too tired or distracted. How do you do it?

That is *really* amazing & impressive. Quite a body of work my friend. Quite a body of work.

That, sir, is a lot of Grey Knights - and, by extension, a heck of a lot of squiggles!

SO PRETTY!! just a beautiful sight sir. What an honour it would be to be sat across a battlefield from that lot.

I bet there is about 12 pots of black squiggle paint there.

Great army shot mate, I've been trying my hardest to catch up on Dakka recently, but when I saw this I HAD to comment. Well done on your most recent Push, especially all the Power Armoured guys - they are all looking crisp!

Awesome .. now to find a suitable opponent to field it against.

Sweet Jesus that's a lot of knights! Awesome group shots.

Been gone a while and they are still awesome, when did you get a titan?

@Zerg - I have been consistent over the 6 years I've been painting these guys, I broke up the boredom by doing some commission models and painting a number of other armies in the mean time (Repainting Dark Angels and Ultramarines, Necron Army, Tau army and some demons)

@Gits - Thanks man, I believe I'm over half way now, so its 'downhill' from here, as they say

@Dysartes - Yes, looking at them all on the table does give a wide range of squiggles, I feel like my early squiggles were a lot more random and made some of the earlier models quite busy.

@Cam - 12 pots! Hah, I estimate 18

@WarbossDakka - Thank you!

@Solar - There is something in the works around that, (Hint: see the commission in the to do list below)

@Moltar - Hehe, I see what you did there

@DJSC - Welcome back? I got the titan over a year ago and had planned to do it for the big 200 page reveal however, once I got started cleaning and prepping I just kept going with painting it.

Update: So I have the next push models selected, in the Fourteenth push you'll see:
1 x Chaplain
1 x Praetor conversion to captain (Terminator)
1 x Captain made from High Marshal Helbrecht conversion (building)
1 x Ironclad Dreadnaught
5 x Sternguard
5 x Tactical marines (incl Flamer)
5 x Scouts
1 x Attack Bike
2 x Grav Bikers
1 x Stalker
1 x Old One Eye (Commission)
1 x Cypher (New)
1 x CM Voldus

So now is mould lining which, is one of the most boring things about this hobby! Sorry no pictures :(

Really excited about your take on Sternguard

That seems more than doable. Time for a lot of nice character detail it seems!

Dare I ask if you've counted the squiggles, Knightley?

Edit: Not sure why these are bloody dark, they look find on my PC when I edited them :S

I've got the same problem with some of my photos. They look fine on my PC and even in previews on WP, but then when they publish they seem lighter/a bit washed out.

Regardless, these guys look very cool. The hoods add something quite different to them. Are they just regular Paladins, or something else?


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Oh man! That is one hell of an army!

If they're still all laid out like that, could we get some close-ups of the various squads and groups and aspects of the army while they're all out there en masse? About 15-20 photos should do. (I'm not joking!)

@Graven - Hopefully they will look cool

@WarbossDakka - Yeah, I've been doing a bunch of squads of late, wanted to do something cool

@Dysartes - Oh heavens no! that is a fools errand!

@Azazelx - Once I have a space set up I'll do that

Update: So again no pictures, I moved house over the weekend (Queens birthday weekend so 3 days) and everything is a cr@p shoot in terms of modelling time. Gone is a space for the gaming table, which makes me sad, however custom ordering a large dining room table, about 6' by 4' i'd say

Heh, it's awesome seeing all the GK out on the table at once, shows me how much stuff is out there for the nids to eat

Hope the house moving went well, and there isn't too many unopened boxes lying around...

@Mad - Moving house has gone well, still need to find a place for the gaming table, but have ordered a large dining room table to fit the bill.

Update: So got a lot done this weekend, lots of mold lining completed

All GK stuff?

@Solar - the complete reverse, these should all be normal marines (from the home brew Gray Nights chapter)

Update: While slow assembly continues, I'll do a quick paint on a apothecary for the Dark Angel force as the one I had has gone walk abouts

I really do not fancy being on the end of that left fist thingy.

, that's one hell of an army Knightley, congrats! Terminators are lookin' real nice, solid kitbashing with the deathwing. The apothecary looks to be a fun project as well, nice to see some DA action in between waves of GK.

@Cam - I know right, all he wants to do is help.... remove your progenoid gland...

@Justaerin - Heh, just a small detour really, one model

Update: base colours done, I have to remember its a quick model, not going to lavish anything on him.

Update: Black army painter wash/varnish and matt coat applied, bit of grass on the base and this one is done.

This is some really phenomenal work! You have quite the collection.

@Aetare - Thank you, and welcome to the blog

Update: So at Christmas I was given a secret santa gift of a Heroforge mini which represents myself (and my airsoft gear) so wash, prime, black and base colours then the face is done (quick model to paint imo)

You need very thin dark lines between the fingers, it'll help give the hands definition which they're lacking. Make a fist yourself and you'll see what I mean. I like it though. Nice work.

Looking sweet Knightley, though I'd also add a dilute purple wash to the face, as it makes it look more realistic (if that's what you're going for). It looks like a fun model to paint, probably a nice change of pace from Power Armour.

Nice model. You weren't tempted to clip off the head and stick it on the Primaris Captain?

@Gits - Good point well raised, will see if I can manage that!

@WarbossDakka - I may not do that at this point, adding purple at the last stage would mean a complete reset of painting the face and I am happy with how it looks at this stage

@Azazelx - Not really, this model is bloody tiny compared to the marine heads, he would look very captain america prior to the super serum, but in reverse (small head, big body)

Update: More details added, I'll see what I can do about adding a darkness to the fist as well care of Gits

He's coming along really nicely. The added details really improve the figure. Shame about the head size, though, I wonder if there's a place that can do Marine-sized heads? I could build myself leading my various armies. Perhaps with different haircuts.

Looking good Knightley, very dapper

@Azazelx - I think there is, I just haven't found any I really like

@Mad - Thanks dude!

Update: No picture of the completed Heroforge mini, I haven't quite got the set up for photos sorted yet, so in the mean time, lets get some pics of barebones models

Customised Captain



Bolter Scouts


Attack Bike

Oh man. I love that Captain conversion!

EDC

Nicey bikey. I miss your hoverbikes mini-you looks awesome, btw.

@EDC - Thanks! hes been like this for at least 4 years!

@Graven - I too like the hoverbikes, so much in fact I have plans to make another two as well as a hover attack bike, stay tuned

Update: more WIP 1's for new models
All the HQ models


"Ironclad" Dreadnaught


Hunter

Update: Old one eye put together

Update: More models semi built

Tac squad 1 remaining half


2 x TL Lascannon turrets


assorted Sterngaurd weapons, all magnetised, my god my fingers hurt from the pin drill

Update: The results for the Sternguard
Sgt



Marine 1




Marine 2




Marine 3




Marine 4

Beautiful builds Knightley.

Yeah, those Sternguard models look the business. Also, could you drill out my combi-weapons for me?

New models look like they'll be fun to paint! Also, what size magnets did you use for the Sternguard combi-weapons? I'd guess 1/16 x 1/16", but maybe a little smaller? Seems like it might be harder to do that my Tau battlesuits' weapons.

@Gits - Thanks

@Azazelx - Gah! my fingers are still recovering!

@Zerg - 2mm x 1mm rare earth magnets, I did a bunch of magnets for the Tron Tau I painted a couple of years ago, I do not advise it as it was such a pain to do!

Update: Individual shots of the 5 tac marines

Marine 1



Marine 2



Sergent




Marine 3




Marine 4

Great builds, mate. Going old-school/new school Deathwatch!

After 5 years I get back into the hobby and this blog is still standing. Those deathwatch are looking really good!

These guys are looking pretty awesome bud. Can't wait to see you paint them up.

@Azazelx - Kind of, my space marine tactical's have the DW bolter and pad, but aren't technically from their codex, I just wanted cool unique marines

@Swordwind - My god, it has been 5 years, good to see you back, will you be back for good? I bet there was a lot to get through

@Cam - You and me both, I do like building though and I can totally see why people have many models unpainted!

Update: So working on the commission first, Old One Eye, scheme is for my brother who has this blog here - https://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/719561.page
He's been a little remiss on posting, but has a decent army done so far. Looking to getting some games with him when my new table arrives.

On to the model then, I Primed white (I swear my Army Painter White primer is a bad batch, it was horrible to use! Then used the Air Brush to do a off white first layer, then a top down pure white highlight (in these pics I can hardly tell :S) then set to work doing a couple of thin black layers on the carapace

Update: more base colours applied

Update: tried my hand at blending some reds, not as easy as I first thought

close shot

Very nice Start. Reds do look good!

It's certainly a great start for blending! Just make sure to accentuate the shades as well as the lights.

Knightley painting a Carnifex.... I knew you liked them!

Nice progress bro

Old One Eye should be a nice break after painting all those Marines. Although I'm curious as to where or how he'll get some squiggles...

@Solar - Thank you.

@WarbossDakka - I'll jam a red wash over the red, that may help add better shadows, what do you think?

@Mad - Hahah, My brother wanted a better painted model than the rush jobs he wanted to do

@Zerg - Really struggling to squiggle this guy, I may do that under a foot, then only I would know... hehe

Update: applied the wash to the body, added a lot more depth to the skin

Looking really bloody nice so far there, mate. The reds are very effective.

Well, it is old one eye... you could do a little bit of squiggles on his carapace somewhere from a human who has found the corpse and tagged it in the past before he got back up

@Azazelx - Thanks!

@Mad - Hahah, grafiti his hide, Imperium was ere'

Update: Went to work on the teeth and the joints

Update: onto the first round of feathering, dark blue mixed with black applied liberally on the carapace

He's turning out good so far! I've always been kind of interested in Tyranids myself since they are like the Zerg from StarCraft (who were inspired by the Tyranids after all), but I really don't need yet another army. The closest I'll get in the near term to having my own army of Nids will be the Genestealers from Lost Patrol. I do enjoy seeing other people's different schemes for the bugs, though!

@Zerg - Tell me about it, I have so many model for Grey Knights and my Space Marines to really pick up another army. However t=Tyranids can be quite a bit of fun to paint, totally different

Update: On to dark blue (not dark dark blue) and applied a little less liberally on top of the dark dark blue

Update: Old One Eye done (basing to be done by my Brother)

Very good! Excellent work my friend. I could never get the streaks in a carapace to come out properly.

Stunning work, really nice.

Congrats on the bicentennial, 200 pages of crispy squiggles, thank you.

Gorgeous work on OOA. Is he for your brother's army, then?

Old One Eye came out beautifully! The carapace highlighting has to be the best part!

Nice looking OOE Knightley... I hope to see it in the flesh sometime in the future.

I'm keen to see what you do with those Death Guard models in the background

Congrats on 200 pages as well, quite the achievement!

Lovely work and welcome to the 200 club!

@Gits - Wasn't easy and I really lucked out on the lock, All the ones I had seen previous were very 'aggressive' on how far up the carapace the colours went, I wanted something a little less colourful and, had I done it again would have made it even smaller.

@Cam - Thanks! been a long slog to get to 200, other blogs I started along side of are nearing 300 now, I'm not worried, I know my place

@Azazelx - Oh yes, my brother has a largish army, no bases completed yet, but who know maybe in the future.

@Zerg - Thank you for the kind words

@Mad - Oh you saw that did you there were a few hints in some of the earlier pics I had them all done, they will get a coat of paint, but not this push I think.

@Graven - Thanks bro! good to be part of the 200 club (Is that even a thing?)

Update: Base prime/colour applied, red base started

Ooh, one of them fancy artillery-rhinos. I'm interested to see how this thing plays out.

Well done on the carapace, it isn't easy getting those streaks looking natural like you have. Also I've never really seen one of those Hunters in action, can't wait to see it painted. Well done on 200 pages too!

@Azazelx - Cheers, I've not played one before and I had this one for 7th as a reply to the flying hive tyrants I kept on facing.

@WarbossDakka - Thank you!

Update: Finished up the base colours and went strait into the black lining (I hate this part)

Looking good my friend!

If you really want to kill a flying hive tyrant with it once it's done, let me know and I can fly one at you hehe

@Mad - Would expect nothing less! To be honest though, not sure this vehicle will be that useful in this edition.

Update: Spent a bit longer than an hour tonight doing all the edge highlighting, always reinforces why I hate painting tanks.

Yeah, edge highlighting is a pain on a model with so many, well, edges! That's why I drybrush them. Saves a lot of time, looks okay, and any mess is not too hard to clean up.

@Zerg - I wish I had done that at the first model, and not at the 235th model would have been so much easier and quicker.

Update: Just did the red today, been feeling under the weather so painting is a bit of a chore atm

Having recently done some edge highlighting a leman russ tank... I understand the "fun" you just had, still it's pretty nice and easy to do and makes things look a lot better, so worth it in the end.

I've been meaning to ask what colour you edge highlight your reds with? I like how it comes together.

I don't tend to drybrush vehicles because even if they look okay on the edges, it makes the flatter areas suffer for it - especially on boxier vehicles like what the SM and Guard have. Edging bigger models do take much longer, but produce a much better result in the end which I think ends up being totally worth it.

Nice stuff, Knightley! That red turned out great on that 'nid! Tank looking great too

@Mad - Agreed, the look of edge highlighted vs dry brushed certainly has its benefits. Regarding the Red, I use blood red for the first edge highlight then I use an old vomit brown for the extreme highlights.

@WarbossDakka - When I first started I did a heavy dry brush over all my models, I hadn't picked up the nuances of dry brushing so it came out looking very very chalky, if I had the knowledge I have now, I would have still done it that way but done it much much better.

@Moltar - Thanks mate!

Update: Tank basically done, Just need to glue on the treads, I haven't put any time in to my new lighting set up so no end pictures for a while

Tank looks great! I really like that color scheme, and my hat is off to you for painting that much white (okay, light gray).

Awesome work on both Old One Eye and the Hunter.

Glad to see we're back in the familiar territory of GK/SM, i was worried for a second there

EDC

Oooooh it's a brown colour, cool thanks for that... I thought it was a fleshy colour.

Looks good, even without the tracks... maybe it could be a hover tank

Beautiful work knightley... looks fantastic!

Beautiful work bud.

Absolute cracker squire. The colour accents really pop.

@Zerg - What can I say, I have a sickness

@EDC - Hahah I have to many GK/SM to paint, I could only stay away for a short time.

@Mad - Well, I saw that new "awesome" hover tank, so yeah it could be

@Gits - Thank you!

@Cam - Cheers

@Graven - Thanks mate!

Update: Base colour airbrushed to a TA captain.

That is one fancy Captain. This guy should look great

@WarbossDakka - I hope so, not often I get to paint a FW model

Update: base colours applied.

Updated: washes applied

Update: Layering underway, reds pretty much done!

I love the reddish gold you've got going on. I think they look much more effective than just straight shiny gold.
