My next Paladin base coated and washed.

**l0k1**

Here's the finished model

I'm currently messing around with the concrete rubble and sand now. I'll post a pic soon.

**l0k1**

Here's my Apothecary fully based. My next attempts should be a lot better.

**Rawson**

It's nice to see something different for a change! Great work so far

I know you're happy with the force weapons so far (and why shouldn't you? They look great!

) but I think Monkey has a point with the broader palette idea. A bit of spot color would go a long ways, imho. That's why I like your apothecary best so far, that bit of blue on the narthecum and the yellow searchlamp do a lot for the model (while still avoiding the aforementioned "Rainbow Company" look

) I think a different eye color would be easiest, but you could also go with non standard script in the armor or the little heraldry shields...

Keep up the great work!

I had made mention that I had thought about doing different color weapons for different units. Any ideas for a better color scheme for the force weapons, or shields? I do have a number greens shades available as well as Thraka green wash that would be easy to use. The red eyes, I think, furthers the idea that the Daemon Company has been corrupted by chaos and gives them a more imposing image.

The fruits of tonight's labors

**l0k1**

Ok, here are some pics of my next paladin. I took some advice and used green on the eye lenses this time, I do like how the green lenses came out. What do you guys think?

**caminacambob**

Wow, you have made a lot of progress while I have been away! Like the variation in stances.

Is your base done with the new citadel texture paint?

And the green lenses are a nice contrast.

**l0k1**

Welcome back, and thanks for the praise. Lol

As for the base, it isn't the textured paint. Its just sand and pva glue. I did a coat over top of the sand to seal it down so it wouldn't brush off and leave a mess.

The lens were opinions from others. I like the red lens, but green ones do seem to make things a little better.

**dereksatkinson**

white helmets would look sick on these..

**l0k1**

An interesting idea, but dear god do I hate trying to do white! Lol. I barely got my Purifiers looking halfway decent. I do have some extra heads I could mess around with and see which looks better.

Don't know how much I'll get done tonight/tomorrow so here's a couple pics of the current Daemon Company on bases and one of my regular GK Paladins to his Daemon Company counter parts.

**caminacambob**

Very nice, bases are looking good!

Time I put more pictures up myself, feel out of the loop!

**l0k1**

I'm trying to decide which is better. Leaving the bases as is, or doing that second coat of pva glue like I did with the Apothacary. That second coat not only seals it, but also makes the dirt look more like mud.

I'd like to see more of your work. It pretty impressive.

**caminacambob**

Hard to see the difference in that photo, personal preference I guess.

Put up a few more snaps, any requests?

**Young_Logan**

Wow, i really like the colour scheme. Its nice to see a non-silver GK army, and the red looks really good

keep going (i wonder what a dreadknight looks like in these colours....)

Watching this space

Young Logan

**l0k1**

@Camin whatever you want to put up really. I'd like to see it either way.

@Logan Once I get done with this unit of Paladins I'll be doing one of my Dreadknights in this scheme and once I get that done I'll be doing a Land Raider for the Paladins.

**l0k1**

A Paladin with Warding Stave ready for the game table.

Here is a group shot of 5 out of the 6 Paladins, fully painted and based.

**caminacambob**

Great work, very effective bases!

A dreadknight would be very interesting, never seen one up close.

Look forward to more!

**Two Spartan**

That's really cool, I love how your colour scheme changes their feel so much. Good work

**l0k1**

Thanks a lot gents, its been kind of a slow process but it getting done. In fact that reminds me, I'm out of servo skulls lol!

**caminacambob**

Not the servo skulls!

How many paladins are left to be done now?

**l0k1**

I have 5 and an Apothacary done, I've got 1 that's base coated and washed that I'll be working on tonight. So that leaves 4 more and the bases.

**caminacambob**

So ten paladins and the apothecary? Or does that four include the one you have base coated and washed?

**l0k1**

I have 10 Paladins and an Apothacary total. 5 Paladins and the Apothacary are done, I'm working on Paladin #6, then I have 4 more to do. I have a total of 6 bases to do.

Here's the next Paladin done.

**l0k1**

Here is another Paladin freshly base coated, washed, and ready for highlights.

**lipsdapips**

It's cool to see a different type of GK force for once ;D

**l0k1**

Thanks lips.

Another Paladin is Painted and based, with a Green Force Weapon as suggested. Thoughts on this new color would be appreciated.

**caminacambob**

I definitely prefer the red weapons. Just my humble opinion

**Young_Logan**

They are lookignf really good as a group

caminacambob wrote:I definitely prefer the red weapons. Just my humble opinion

Yeah I preferred the red weapons too...

Personally I would've gone for blue over green for a different colour of weapon....but I guess that a bit genetic for power weapons.

Hm. Anyway, yes out of the 2 I prefer the red (the green does look good though, nice work)

D

**l0k1**

I like the green as well. I noticed that it seems to blend a lot more smoothly. Though it can easily be changed. I was simply testing to see how it would look since it was suggested to broaden the pallet a little.
