You know knightley... that black visor *really* changes the look of the figure. Very ninja (especially with the naginata in the high-guard). I'm sure this was your plan all along... and you probably already commented on it here... but it went completely over my head until just now... Man I'm a dunce!

That figure just got cooler by a factor of 10.

**lipsdapips**

OOHOOHOOHOOOOOOO! This is looking great Knightley, got to get cracking and finish yours up too. I'll get right on it. Can't wait to see them both finished!

**Knightley**

@Gits - I hadn't commented on it, I wanted to see if there was anyone who would have picked up on it. Looks like you're not the dunce now

@LDP - Yeah should be pretty awesome!

Update: Second Stage Grey done

**Knightley**

Oh, and have I gone forward in time to post this? because it is tomorrow for you!!

**lipsdapips**

It's looking up to your usual fantastic quality mate, mine has his highlights done now, ill update you tomorrow!

**Knightley**

@Tipios - Hahah, I live in NZ so it always the future here

@LDP - Awesome, can't wait to see your updates.

Speaking of updates: Reds/metals done

**prototype_X**

The painting is beautiful as always, but (sorry if this has already been asked) where is that head from? I like it a lot,Might make a nice helmet for my captain.

Awesome as per usual, keep it up man

Proto

**inmygravenimage**

Old metal deathwatch conversion kit, iirc.

**prototype_X**

Ah, thats a shame. I will have to keep an eye out on trademe.

**Knightley**

@Proto - Yeah deathwatch heads, I have about 40 odd of them if you want some?

@Graven - Bingo

**Matt.Kingsley**

SWEET! LDP will definately like/love it, I'm sre if it

**lipsdapips**

What Yellowbeard said man, I love that touch of the LDP on the shoulder man, that rocks! Thanks man cant wait to see it in person! Also love the highlights below the eyes, makes the helmets shape look awesome.
Thanks alot Knightley, ill finish yours up as soon as i can!

**Matt.Kingsley**

See, knightley, I told you

**inmygravenimage**

If you can spare any of those heads, I'd happily trade something up for you. I have a spare child, for instance. Pm me or something.

**prototype_X**

I would also like to trade for one of those heads, If there is one going

Seems Legit.

**Knightley**

@Yellowbeard - Thanks! I hope it wasn't to over the top, I'm not one for adding those kinds of little details, but figured what the hey, lets try something new

@M.K - Cheers

@LDP - Cool, I'm sure it will look better in person

@Graven - Will PM soon!

@Proto - Noted, I should be able to help you out

@Doomhunter - provided its not the one waking the younger one up over snakes it should be good. postage and packaging might be a awkward thing to address though.

Update: Started on Draigo

**Swordwind**

Woohoo Draigo! Looking good there mate.

Lacking in daemon hearts though.

**inmygravenimage**

Looking very nice, and good to see you're going helm, not head on him; looks so much better. And no, it would be #2 you could have, that's the one that doesn't sleep as opposed to #1 and his snakey confusion.

**Casey's Law**

Nice! Draigo looks a touch busy at this stage but I think it's because the colours aren't finished so he isn't quite matching the finished stuff. That or the image is too small on my phone.

**whalemusic360**

That, and the model is very busy.

**Casey's Law**

Very true, some special characters are painfully busy sculpts.

**Knightley**

@Swordwind - Fingers crossed Draigo will get all his daemon hearts in battle

@Graven - Yeah the bland helm makes him look slightly constipated, Now lets talk logistics about sending a child through the post. I believe Air holes would be a good start

@C L - I agree the whole model is OTT in terms of stuff they've put on him, lets see how it goes.

@WM - Agreed

Update; while not much to look at still, the first stage grey is done

**inmygravenimage**

Nice job, it feels more muted now (in a good way).

Regular post won't take livestock. I'm thinking of using Armenian mafia.

**tipios**

Looking good knightley, it;s always nice to see you paint models with alot of detail on them. All the details seems to stand out, nothing is lost

@graven - Aviod Armenian mafia, I used once, package didn't arrive in one piece, very messy, and they don't have insurance!!!

**Imperial Monkey**

I have to ask, how do you do the bronze/gold colour??

**Casey's Law**

I'm sure you'll do a great job, in fact, it already looks better.

Oh yeh, i bought my first ever Grey Knights today AND my first ever Blood Angels. Stocking up on bits for converting!

**inmygravenimage**

@casey's law - that's the spirit! Pm me if you need anything, I'll see what I can do. The BT conversion kit and DA vets are also your friend.

@knightley: see? See what you've done?!
