Give him chance

**Knightley**

@M.K - Perhaps, I'm still mulling it over

@AnUnearthlyChilde - Indeed, you speak the truth, a chance is all I require!

Update: the biker body is up next

**Knightley**

Grey blocked in

**Matt.Kingsley**

Are you going to do lightning on the sword?

**Knightley**

I think I'll do the same as the other Sgt's in the army, going with the single helix option

Update: edge highlighting done

**Knightley**

Whites/reds/metals done

Should all be done tomorrow

**tipios**

Tasty!!!

**Yellowbeard**

Very nice! I really like the aquila on the chest. That is some crisp painting. Really nice highlights on the feather tips, too.

**Knightley**

@Tipios - Nom nom nom

@YB - Thanks, I'm glad you like it

Update: bike done!

All Jetbikes together!

**Yellowbeard**

Beautiful work, Knightley. I love the picture from the front showing the marine coming straight at the viewer. Very intimidating! Love the =][= too.

These are the bikes you did the tutorial for, right?

Just got the update on the tutorial! Nevermind.

**Gitsplitta**

That is completely sweet! Wow! Even the headlight!

**Norn King**

Love the cloak on the rider!

**Knightley**

@YB - Cheers YB yeah I did a test bike over a year ago and its good to get the last one out of the way.

@Gits - Thanks, yeah it's the little things that count right

@N K - Thank you, I didn't use the technique that I worked out on Git's GMS marines cloak, as I wanted it the same as the rest of my army, but I'm happy it still looks ok.

Update: scouts ahoy!

**AnUnearthlyChilde**

I love watching the stuff that comes out of your thread Knightly. Watching with much interest I am

**Flying Pooo**

Great work on those jet bikes Knightly, makes me want to convert some of my own.
And as always they are so INCREDIBLY crisp and clean!

The WIP of that scout looks promising too...

**Matt.Kingsley**

Sometimes I wonder if I'd ever bother logging onto dakka if this blog didn't exist, or if it ended....

**Knightley**

@AUC - Thanks, still got the vindiwindi to come as well

@F P - Well if you do, my only request is you post up some pics for it!

@M.K - Incredibly profound, I had no idea this blog had that effect on some one. Color me very honored indeed.

Update: first stage grey done

**Matt.Kingsley**

Well the only other reasons are to update my blog (

if I ever do) and any rumors about a new codex I'm interested in/ new edition (hardly ever)

But, anyway, scout is looking ace

**Briancj**

While I think Crisp and Grey is a magnificent plog, there are many others that are worth following as well.

**Knightley**

@M.K - Interesting to note, I used to follow the rumors threads but sometimes they move far to quickly for me.

@Briancj - I completely agree, I think I'm following 6-7 blogs religiously at the moment.

Update: got second stage grey AND grey highlights done this time.

**tipios**

Do you own all the grey paint in New Zealand?

I'm really liking the camo on the cape

Nope

**whalemusic360**

That's more blue anyways

**AnUnearthlyChilde**

O_o in which universe lols? thats a stone grey, it's pigment content is white based... if it was a blue based pigment, it'd shade/highlight in off tones similar to porcelain

**inmygravenimage**

Somehow this dropped off my subbed list?! How did you do the aegis hood on bikers - cut down shoulder pad maybe? They look outstanding, btw.

**Knightley**

@Tipios - Not all the Grey paint, but I do have shares

@Proto - Are you holding they grey hostage? you know I have a particular set of skills.....

@WM - agreed, I would use that for a SW base colour

@AUC - I think its more compared to the other greys, it looks more blue compared to codex/fortress

@Graven - I'm hurt dude, dropping off a sub list is a big deal

glad your back

Update: Reds/metals done

**Knightley**

First scout done
