Now, that's an idea.
Test model up after the ivory paladin.

Good luck!

That's a pretty sweet white Paladin, I like it. One of the smoothest all-white models I've seen in a while. Can't wait to see the ivory one!

Of course the highlight is produced by my camera.
I tend not to spend a lot of time on my regular guys. Nice trick I'll use for HQ though : taking very luminous pictures and use it for highlighting ! Cheers !

On the Nurgle jumpy guy, I am afraid I'll break more things that fix by touching him. The 2 handed axe is a good point though, that would add mementum - I know need to find a fitting arm !

Grey knight halberds (or just the arms) may be just the ticket here (or that hammer they have), I've used it for some of my assualt marines which you can view here http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/432357.page (shameless self promotion) also used the assualt marine legs for the dynamic poses you may want to consider that for the plague marine? enjoy and liking your work.

Ivory turns a deep yellow borwn with age. Perhaps in addition to the traditional color for the trim you could 'age' some of his surface.

Test ivory paladin.

I must say I really like how it came out. Not very bloody knighty, but I think it looks great.





Thoughts ?

I think it does look awesome. Was that Gryphon wash? Perhaps a darker wash (like devlan or badab) might go better with the black lettering.

Ok so, here are our options !



White, pure and striking at the heart of chaos spawns.
Ivory, like above but darker and meaner.
Red, like the others GKT of my army, but they will end up with a book over the head.
Golden, a test model I did not finish.

Pick one and tell why !

Ivory or White

As much as I like the Ivory look, I like the Red better. It's bright, it's aggressive, it's thematic, and it's different. The Ivory looks good, and as much as I love that color for armor, it just reminds me too much of deathwing.

The white looks good too, but I think the red is a much more unique look. It's also a little more forgiving if you botch something up in the process, so I'm thinking of that too.

Since all my GKT and most of my other stuff is redder than red, I tend myself to prefer the ivory one, though I need to find a little place for more red on it. Maybe the right pauldron will be entirely red.

I think you should do the Ivory colored Paladins, with the red shoulders like the gold model.

Either way, they all look awesome.

Ivory looks the best. Maybe if you do a red wash over that even if its a light one?? Any way this all looks good keep up the good work!

Hop hop hop : nearly final. I may or may not, paint the second pauldron.



Wadya think ?

I vote red with white helmets.

Mr. S Baldrick wrote:I vote red with white helmets.

Crap. Valid and attractive suggestion.

Ivory, red pauldron, white helmet.

Ok, I like the ivory one with one red pauldron.

Now I am debating on Draigo. Red or ivory...
Oh the hesitation...

One a different subject, I am too seriously considering buying an airbrush.

Final paint scheme !

Need to finish the squad and go on the plague marine !

Looking good its a nice change and it reminded me of the deathwing.

Looks good!

On the airbrush - do it. It gives you a really smooth basecoat and it takes up 1/100 of the time of painting manually.

KITBASH ! !! ! !! !! !

Necromunda adeptus arbites + maxmini shield + GK falchion = A crusader !

I like it, it will go in my 7 DCA / 3 Crusader CC of death squad.



To be noted : I stole the idea of the adeptus arbites from another Dakkanaut, so props for the odea does not go to me.

I may use the squad commander to build a custom inquisitor.

Looks pretty sweet. I want to see the painted version.

I vote white.

Ok, so I am going for ivory.

Anyone has a bright idea for the purity seals scrolls? The green stamp is fine, but the paper looks like the armour. :/

Dheneb stone
or
Snakebite leather

Base of Snakebite Leather, then light drybrush of Bleached Bone or Vallejo Bonewhite, then a really really light drybrushing of skull white.

Ok, I got completely crazy about CSM, maybe my true nature going back on track...

Bought 2 of the new daemon possessed engines from FW, some termies and FW plague marines.

Even though I L O V E the GK models, I love originility even more. And every one at the FLGS plays GK.

OH THE CORNELIAN CHOICE !

I don't care what you paint, I just want you to paint!

Now maybe you can work on that Plague Marine color scheme that was being debated. I think it has some potential.

Ok, first layer first wash.



What do you think ?
On the blue ichor, I wanted to blue wash the bone color and make little blue leaks along the armour openings / tubes.

Ideas ?

(first afterthought : brown wash = win for PM. For regular CSM, I'll stick to black wash.)

See... I was thinking the armor was going to be a different color. Like... hmm... *brainstorms*

Alright. Skip the green. What I was thinking is that the armor was a pale color. A bone or other off-whitish sort of tone. And any gash or tear in the armor, you take and line with a bit of watered down black, just around the main point, then I would drip a dark wash... maybe the blue and the black mixed together, and drip it down the gashes and cracks in the armor.

OOooor... something else entirely, your call!
