hi peeps, i thought i do a little wip thread on some GK's im working, now i know im not the greatest painter in the world, and theres a lot of painting methods i just cant the hang of. so i will post some pics and see what C&C you have for em, but first just to give an idea of finished models, i will also post some black templars that i painted for someone else.










ok now for the GK's


the one above was undercoated in gun metal then had a black wash applyed, then a dry brush with bolt gun metal



starting to pick some detail



grand master with deamon hammer



captain







transports

will there go, let me know what you think, and like i said im not the greatest painter in the world.

as the models progress, i'll add more pics

fynn

Your Grey Knights need more color. Bolter, shoulder trims, stuff like that.

well it is a work in progress, i get more done today/tonight and post more pics, what ive posted is just the early stage pics

When i painted some Gk's i found that a black and blue wash over the silver works well, only a thin mix though.

yeah,
your painting is very tidy, so i think you should try a thin all over everything Wash...
I've never painted grey kniights before but the thin blue/black mix sounds right.
wont take much time and will erally bring out the details.

PAnic...

tbh, im trying to stear clear of the blue wash, as im trying for a darker look for my GK's, just trying to decide what colour to paint the halbeard sharfts and to pick the eyes out with

Oh to me it looked like they didnt have any wash. Maybe its the pics

yeah, theyve had a black wash then a light dry brush of boltgun metal, they do look better in the fleash so to speak, i may give em 1 more thin black wash whenthere almost done, the black wash shows up more on the LR and LRC on the boltgun metal part of the body, i try ad get a few more pics up tonight, when they should have there seals done and the justicars tabard (either be base coat or finished, all depends on how this cold i got buggers me up.......lol), im planing to do the shoulde pads in red, but cant decide to keep it a dark red or a bit brighter (not too bright though), may keep em the same shade of red as on the raiders.

fynn

when i go home from uni this weekend i will try find the ones i painted when they first came out and get a pic

cool, i'll look forward to seeing em

ok quick update, i let the pics talk for themselfs, C&C welcome







should have a bit more done tonight, the figuers are in a 2 part stage at the mo, half are at the stage of the first pic, the pther half at the stage of the second and third pic.

fynn

just a quick update, heres a pic of one of the GK's, he's about 90% done









still cant make me mind for the colour for the weapon harft yet, main thing that needs finishing on this model is the wash's and high lights on the seals and scroll work.

just a quick Q guys, is it just me, or is the kommando karki paint realy thin and crap to use, as it seems to have trouble even going over white?
so is it a crap paint, or i have just one from a dodgey batch?

I would norm build it up through the Creamy browns.

The Grey knights are starting to shape up. Personally I wouldn't mind seeing some solid colors to help offset all that metallic you have going on. But overall a solid scheme.

still cant decide if the paint the weapon hafts a dark brown(wood effect) black with a light silver dry brush, or white.
im affraid didnt get any work done yesterday as i was just too bloody rough with the damm flu, hope to do some updates later today.

fynn

the painting on the seals and cloth and badges is naff, and they are quite chipped as they have been in the garage for years.

nice i like the look of yours, nice paint work

fynn

fynn, ive got the same prob with my golden yellow.
cant even cover white after several coats, yet i brought a new one, and its fine 0_o
made life a bitch while trying to paint up bad moon orks :K

lo, sounds like the normal quality of GW paints, funny enough though, i stll got some of the origional paints they released years ago (round pots and white flip up lids) and they work a hell of a lot better than some of the newer paints

hi gents, sorry about the lack of updates the past few days, but ive been as rough as hell, damm flu and chest infection, so could only managed an hour or so painting the last couple of days, but ive done more work on the GK's and apart from a bit of high lighting on the seals, there done, so heres some more pics of the (almost) finished figures



















so there you go chaps, C&C welcome, and as i said on my first post, i know im not the greatest painter in the world

fynn

Nice and crisp painting dude

Hope your chest infection has cleared up so you can enjoy the carnage next tuesday!

i will be going unless i happen to drop dead by then.......lol, it be a good caurse, raise a bit of cash for children in need. should be intresting how my 12 guys will fare against the other players, as i will probaly have the samllest amount on the table for 400 point combat patrol and thanks for the compliment, had to do a rescue job on one of the justicars yesterday when my daughter decided to help paint him when i was on the phone, had to give him a bath under running water when she covered his upper body in dwarf bronze........lol, hes nice and clean now and lost no detail thankfuly

My eldar will be fielding just 18 men if its any consolation. Those Dark Reapers cost a lot of points!

Reminds me of the time when an open pot of Goblin Green somehow went flying onto a Tau battlesuit I was painting a few years back

lol. well then looks like i be seeing you on tuesday then, gives you the chance to have a proper look at the mini's then
