I wanted to do a somewhat different take than the normal silver.
The entire squad will be based around the deck of cards, the Ace of spades and the Joker are above.

3 more aces to come.
Any comments and criticisms welcome.

i personally dont really like the paint scheme all that much and would prefer the standard weapons better
but,
I do however like the way they are painted, the poses and the bases good job

oh and the 4 aces and the joker thing is a great idea might have to steal that for my paladin squad

-Edit-
does the first guy (joker) have "why so serious?" painted on his armour ?

does the first guy (joker) have "why so serious?" painted on his armour ?

yes he does

although i dont like the idea of this on a grey knights squad, i do think its an awesome idea for a chaos based army

Here's some other stuff from the rest of the army




Closeup.

Sorry for the quality, but my old camera is a bit naff.

I like 'em.

I'd also suggest some Sisters of Battle "allies".

Sorry for the wait, but college got in the way
More to come...

That's... interesting. From a technical point of view, the paint job is amazing. I don't care for the theme itself, but that's personal preference. The concept of the card suits is kind of neat, but I just don't like the chaos bend you've taken. Again, mostly personal preference. One thing I would do though is drill out your storm bolters. For some reason, the storm bolters look even worse undrilled than regular bolters do.

Very cool. I think they would work better for a counts-as term squad for Chaos. Creative idea and nicely executed

Ace of Hearts

Still a WIP, but please feel free to C&C.

I almost never check out GK stuff because I find the models so boring...

What a friggin' surprise to see this army. I echo the comments of others: as GK, I don't care for it at all. Otherwise, it's absolutely awesome!!

The Joker is my favorite!

For the love of all that is holy. drill your barrels they look like lumps of plastic without the drill work!

I love the grungy look to these guys. Way better than the typical steel color. Also the card theme works really nicely the way you're going about it.

Thanks guys for the C&C, I will drill the barrels just as soon as I get a new drill bit (the last one died a death and turned into lots of shrapnell ).
One more ace to go...
Oh, I'm also adding some guardsmen to the force (as the Inquisitors henchmen) so more pics to come...

Youve got a very post apocalyptic look going there. I absolutely love it, on so many levels. Its well executed, quality work. Its completely original, never seen it before, which is pretty rare. It completely ignores GW fluff and will likely annoy fanboys...that might be the best part of all.

Im getting ready to order my second set of GK termies and youve inspired me to go outside the box. my first set was pretty normal, might have to have a bit of fun with the next set.

Ok, here's a vindicare counts as I've been working on



TO MODS:Given the fact that I keep adding to this, can you please move this to the P&M Blogs section.

I love the theme and the vindicare looks great

The paintjob on these Termies is pretty cool...

However... I absolutely HATE these as Grey Knights. It doesn't fit the chapter at all. I would agree with the other poster that said these should be a counts as Termie squad for Chaos.

I've been painting some GKs for my friend and so have been learning some of their fluff and this chaos scheme does not fit. Grey Knights are supposed to be pure, no Grey Knight has ever fallen to Chaos, yet these termies have a very chaos flavored paint job.

For that, my opinion turns to 'Cool paintjob, wrong application makes me sad.' :(
