Some pics of my finished Grey Knights. I know they are not perfect, but I think they reach a good tabletop standard.

Paint is looking good, I think the force weapons could use some sort of effect, and definitely drill out the barrels on bolters/psycannons

This is definitely cool stuff! Really makes me want to pick up some grey knights, but I've already ordered too many minis in my attempt to rejuvenate the hobby

One thing though, you didn't drill out the barrels of the guns!
Its a quick fix though

Looking good with the bright contrast with the reds.
You just need to drill those barrels or at least paint some black dots on them.
The blood dripping off of the demon head needs some work to look like blood as at the moment it's the same colour as the weapons and looks very flat, have you ever used Tamiya Clear Red?

I have use 3 different reds for the deamons head, and a wash on the "bloody" parts. It is more visible on the "real" fig than on the picture. And yes, I nned to find a manual drill to finish the gun barrels

You've got a really nice and smooth feel to your painting but maybe try stronger highlighting and definitely drill/paint your gun barrels.

Keep up the great painting

They look really nice, Could I ask how you did the silver armour?

- primer black (airbrush)
- Iron breaker (airbrush)
- a thin coat of Nuln Oil
- some highlighting with runefang steel.

Very easy

PS : your Lemartes is really cool

The paint job looks good to me. Sure, it can always be improved.
For painting, I suggest to add some 2-3 colour transition to the power weapons. Best done with airbrush, masking tape and some patience, but can be done with brushes.

An easier improvement would could have been had before painting. There is a nasty line on one stormbolter front and without muzzles, the weapons look just plain weird, in particular with these poses and camera position.
Use a nail with a fine point to mark the center point for the barrels, then drill first a small pilot hole, then use a bigger drill for the final size.

I'm guessing nobody will rest their ear in front of your guys on the table, so no muzzles shouldn't be a problem with the look on the table. ;-]

I have find on youtube some tutos to paint force weapons with airbrush to give them metallic refkects. That's the next step
