Hi guys

got a little GK force together and wanted to paint it quickly and looking ok on the table top

Heres my test piece justicar about and hours work (minus drying times) , his 5 mates have there armor started and there force weapons. Il get them on when there done.

Wow, that's really good, you've certainly achieved your goal of Table-top standard, perhaps even exceeded it. Well Done.

Those look really good. Can you give us your process?

Cheers guys

The process is

Spray with Army painter plate mail primer

Wash with diluted badab black (50/50)

Wash nemesis weapon with undiluted asurmen blue , (do this twice but allow to dry though) also wathc out for pooling

overbrush the gold with shining gold then wash with devlan mud when dry

cloth and seals are dheneb stone then washed with diluted devlan mud

gun and seals are mechrite red

Ice blue for eyes

That s it , very very simple

Great looking work for an hour!

I think I'm gonna copy you! I was doing a blue wash over the Platemail primer on my guys, but the black looks much better.

The blue wash does make the nemesis weapons look quite cool , also dont forget to thin your black wash down or they go quite dark

I think I would do that same Devlan Mud wash over the red to give it a tiny bit of depth. That and drilling out the barrels would really make these impressive minis for so little time spent. If you wanted to go to the next level you could do some highlights with Mithril Silver, but that would defeat the point of speedpainting, wouldn't it!

I agree with you brother SRM , my plan was to get them onto the table as quick as possible then after the army was done I could re-visit and spruce em up a bit.

Finished the rest of the terminator squad and another little surprise . Not to bad for two days work if I do say so myself.

Grand master

Librarian

10 man Terminator squad

5 man Terminator squad

speed painting?????
jeez man that paintjob looks really good
a couple highlights wouldn't hurt, and maybe touch up on the gold again but otherwise, those guys look great!

I just want to bump this thread again, I'm going to be stealing this process and abandoning what I was doing for my GK. Would like to see more pics of your army!

Sweet, I may have to steal this as well! Quick question, let's say I mess up applying the gold or the red or the stone and get it on the silver armor, what GW paint could I use to cover up my mistake? Boltgun? Chainmail? And how close does it match?

I think Mithril Silver is a match, but don't quote me on that.

Not sure bout that Stavkat , maybe boltgun chain mail with no wash or Mithrill with a bit of watered down badab black.



Also just finished assembling my Dreadknight and paladins are due to be assembled tonight

grey... KNIIGHTS! I wish people would quit posting pictures, the wards burn my eyes! Curse you, slaves of the Anathema!
though seriously, nice paintjob.

What is boltgun chainmail? Boltgun is darker than Chainmail, I suppose I can just spray part of a piece of sprue and paint some all of these silver colors next to them to see for myself. Because I know I am going to mess up painting detail somewhere!

Also just finished assembling my Dreadknight and paladins are due to be assembled tonight

If you do anything different painting-wise for your Paladins, please let us know!

Sorry about that stavkat i meant to delete boltgun , and say chainmail.

anyways

coverted up my Grand master and Librarian.

Awesome! I did a similar conversion for my Librarian, but I used the storm bolter that he came with, and a nemesis warding stave instead of his staff.

Got this done today (cheers rain)

I know the base is a little bland , I plan on sorting that soon.

also sorry bout the pic the light is rubbish here today

Very nice!! What color is the heraldry shield? Did you use the same method as you did on the termies?

yeah exactly the same painting method. the shield is nothing but shining gold with a devlan mud wash

Looks great. I like that silver you put on all your models.

Got the librarian done , did not enjoy painting this one. But he looks ok from afar :wink:

I will be drilling the barrel as soon as I lend the drill bit from a mate.



More terminators and Grand master soon

Next squad of terms done

Finished another 5 Terminators to bulk one squad up to ten man. So heres a group shot of whats done so far.



The Paladins and Grand master have been started , hoping to crack on with them after work tonight.

Lovely for such a simple method.

But I think you should use a bit of a highlight on that librarians flesh. He looks a bit, er, washed.

Hi guys

been a while since my last update but been working loads :( got 2 x 5 man strike squads and their razorbacks done as well as a paladin sqaud, Land raider and the Grand master.

Ive still got some snow to put on the bases but Im waiting on a delivery.

I know this thread is a little old, but it's not too old, right?

masterjock, these look great for how quickly and easily your method is. I have just one question, how did you paint the Land Raider? Obviously you used Army Painter again, but what about washes? I've had issues with washes on vehicles before.


Also, any more updates of your army?

The wash on the Land raider was just half badab black and half water. It does take a bit of work to get it even though.

Since I stopped posting on this Ive painted up a Draigo and a Techmarine which is the army finished now and ive moved on to other stuff.
