Hi I'm just posting because I've hit a bit of a snag with my grey knight accumulating. That being my Apothecary, I'm not sure what to use to model for it. I run a Draigo list, hence theres only one infantry model in my army thats not a termie and that is an assassin. So here's the problem, how do I model a terminator apothecary for Grey knights? Is there a figure out there that I've completely missed, or a conversion kit? Or well if you have one how did you model it. I get that the paint scheme is white instead of the norm to signify him being what he is but in the upgrades and because I do want to be very WYSIWYG correct want to try and get the apothecary wargear and such to be visible on a terminator... Just I can't work out how.

You get the narthecium, the head with the "scope" and the lights that go on the neck in the terminator box.

If you look in the assembly guide pamphlet that comes with the box, then it has the instructions for modeling the apothecary along with pointing out the gear specific for them, which are just the 3 things mentioned prior.

narthecium (arm with a chainsword under it), paladin head with a few extra lenses, and the headlights. Thats all you need to make your apothecary.

Though I think that the nathecium is the only thing that is a must-have...

hope this helps

yeah, you use the Apothecary bits in the Terminator box

On a painting point of view, on a codex paint scheme, they only have a white left arm.

I derp'd I have him made now , I was thinking of painting the helm and arm white, a little more then usual but it would be nice I think for them to stand out a little more from the group.

I'm toying with the idea of painting him all white, with red Pauldrons and maybe Red helm. I kinda want him to look like an ambulance.

Don't forget to fit an LED into the top of his head then

Hmm, entirely red with a white arm might be pretty cool. I have seen people paint GK in a red scheme, I mean my HQ (draigo who won't be called draigo) is going to be black, (insert=black knight cliche)

I just really want my guys, given there only 13 total in 2000pts to stand out a lot.

I Think red, for my taste, is a bit too far out there, but then I have a big Inquisitor retinue for the colourful bit.

Last post in my sig - the test scheme for my paladins include red, white and ivory.

So he will be Ratchet, from the Transformers then

Looking at them, a pure white armour + red pauldron borders seems a good idea.

That looks really good Seb, kinda the lines I was thinking along. Not sure if I am going to make my writing Gold or note yet, I think that black/ white contrast you have going there looks excellent. I'll be doing my pauldrons full black to give a bit of contrast and that plus the black detail lines should give me that BMW M3 look I am after.

I was thinking of red maybe on the upper arms, kind of reminiscent of a Red Cross Brassard ? Of course I need to work the DNA symbol in there somewhere too. For the base I'll maybe try and work up some kind of Officio Medicae symbol to put on him somewhere.

The Grey Knights do not indulge fantasy

LOL, ok I want vague visual cues to an ambulance, not "look like an ambulance"

Do him straight white, then freehand a red/black double Helix up his legs and arms.
