Hi folks,

[insert old text here] - thanks for the replies!

EDIT: New color scheme in reply - scroll down :-) C&C pls!

**Jordan2208**

They are pretty cool! Well done!!

**Ultra Grey**

Nice clean painting, but too bland for my taste.

**Drummernathan**

Great job but I agree with ultra grey, needs moar highlights!

**ScootyPuffJunior**

Those circles are just part of the Terminator armor, every models has them. They are probably something to do with the power plant for the armor and I usually paint them as lights, using the "gemstone" method.

**obob**

Thanks for the feedback!

currently they grey one's brightest "highlight" is one drybrush with codex grey. Would you recommend to do some layering with it to give him a little more highlight?

If not, do you guys have any other idea of making him pop out a little bit more?

@ scootypuffjunior; oh ok i see, one good way to give them some more detail i guess!

**bigginhouse**

Nice but boring. maybe do the runes in another colour possibly gold or silver

**obob**

Update: As I was painting my GKs, i found myself to not actually like my the color scheme at all, lol. So I went to read the codex again and came up with a new color scheme to represent the "shiny" warriors on the one hand and the mysterios psy-force they are on the other hand, as I dont like them to be too colorful.

Also I came up with a new method of painting my power-blades, props to Catattafish

Let me know what you think of 'em

Did you use a Wash on them ? it wouls help to give more deepness on the armor and the golden parts. The power weapons are great

**obob**

yup, washed asurmen blue

i guess pictures with daylight instead of an old table lamp would give it more credit, lol =)

**Eldarain**

I like them. The weapon casings are a nice contrast and the power weapon effect are great.

I think the bases blend into the models a little bit though. Adding something to break up the grey would go a longway. Perhaps snow or rusted scrap metal.

**Atropamin**

Wow they are really crisp. I especially like the force weapons (doesn't everyone?)^^

**meecham63**

Yes, you should take pics with a black background, the colors would be more apparent

Just a black piece of fabric, and a table lamp could give very goods pics :

**obob**

No offense right there, but the thread is about feedback for my minis, not about how to take pictures - thanks anyway, bud :O

**BrotherVord**

Taking better pictures allows people to provide better feedback.

**SirSlaughter**

I like how you did the power weapons. They look awesome with the lightning. I think the knights look a bit too grey for my personal tastes, but they look great nonetheless.
