here is the horse. what yall think?






If you are wondering why the bret icon its because blood knights where from a old bretonian company from blood keep called blood dragons.
needing some help with using the bret knights for riders and with how I painted the horses I dont know how to paint the riders =\ they have chainmail which will be bolt gun metal cloth which will be red but what should I paint the plate armor im thinking gold

Pretty interesting, I like the spike on the head! Any chance you'll give the barding one more highlight? Seems a little flat to me, but it doesn't look bad at all.

How soon will it be before we see the vampire?

looks cool cant w8 to see more

im stuck on how to paint the vamp (but he is wareing the closed maskand used some highelf dragon bits...)

Can you post a pic of the unpaintedmodel, so we can see what you are working with?

sure

this was b4 anything was painted

You could do a really dark bronze for the armor and either black or red cloth... or maybe black cloth with red piping. If he's going to have a magic weapon I suggest a glowy green blade.

I gave him a baal red wash over bgm and then a wash of badab black and it got kinda the effect I was going for looks good at a distance here is some pics

Okay well I have finished him minus the shield what yall think?

Is it just me or are the pictures really dark? Hard to make out any details

I like.

howmany more do you have to make?






Twister....

Truly amazing work there, I've always wanted to see converted Blood Knights

I have 7 more and the model is very dark

*Update*

well after talking with my Mother in Law and her reading the page on Blood knights in the codex and her giving some input I weathered the shields and added some skull decals.

well what yall think?

I think that you must have a rather cool Mother-in-law!

Also, a nicely done miniature!

I think that the skulls look VERY bright compared to the rest of the model. Perhaps dirty them up somehow?

I still need to matte it sry forgot to mention that.

It's not that it looks shiny, it's that it is a very bright and pristine white and the rest of the model is dark and dingy, such as the background of the heraldry. If the skulls were dirtier, like that, I think they'd look like they fit a lot better.

ahh okay

I would have to agree with Selestine. The skulls just don't fit at the moment. I like the weathering on the model. Keep up the good work.

THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOUyou have just helped me sort out my colours for me chaos marines but iw as wondering would blue washes works as well as red.

yea I just did not want a blue tint...for grey knights I would do boltgun metal with chain mail highlights then wash with blue and then black...so it should work for your chaos

An easy way to add a dusty look is to take some slightly thinned Graveyard earth on a soft brush and dab it off onto your cleaning cloth, paper towel, whatever until there is very little paint left. Then lightly dab the bottom of the caparison working up lighter. This gives the impression of road dust. Work in layers, gradually dusting the bottom until it is where you want it. You can also then highlight a bit with Kommando Khaki using the same technique. It should dull out the decals nicely! You might also try it using your base color over the decals to blend them down. Just be careful an go very light on the paint!

I use this method to weather tanks and vehicles. Since decals and insignia often look too fresh, this method helps tone them down. Also, careful use of washes is effective, but can cause issues with water applied decals.
