That's because you paint 5 models in the same time it takes most of us to paint one model...

**WarbossDakka**

More like base coats for 1 for me

.

**Knightley**

@Gits - This year seems to be dragging when it comes to models, I'm itching to get into some new plastics, thats for sure!

@WarbossDakka - Ha! my advice is an hour a day, thats all you need.

Update: fully applied washes to all 5 of the guys

**WarbossDakka**

Natural light does a good job of highlighting by itself. Save yourself the effort of highlighting and bring a load of lights with you to every game!

**Knightley**

@WarbossDakka - Haha, I'll just move this squad 6" and its supporting lighting will run 12" so it can get in range of the close combat next turn

Update: started on the reds

**Knightley**

Update: continuing highlighting the reds

**Knightley**

Update: Red still going as well as bone colours underway

**bebopdrums2424**

wow those are looking super clean and fresh knightley!

**Gitsplitta**

Man those look good!

**Mad..**

Purifiers coming along really nicely mate.

Almost to the power effects on blades and squiggles and freehand on banners part.... I like those updates because they pull the models from great up to a whole other level.

Thanks for the game yesterday as well, was awesome fun! I'll get a battle summary up in my paint log in the next couple of days

**IceAngel**

I haven't commented in awhile knightley, but I thought you should know.

You da man.

**Knightley**

@Bebop - Thanks man!

@Gits - Cheers

@Mad - No worries, it was an intense game for sure! I look forward to your write up

@Ice - Always glad to see you posting Ice, perhaps in a few weeks your fluff blog may get a post eh?

Update:
I had an action packed weekend, Friday night had the adventures of my D&D gaming group that I DM for, they left the night on a cliff hanger and they are already hounding me for the next game!
Saturday had my normal Airsoft in the morning, however had a game Vs Mad in the afternoon, A very bloody battle, units getting removed from the table each turn, left on a state of flux which I'll let him explain in his Battle Report, Sunday had the morning spent with the little one, checking out the new house we brought and taking measurements (trying to find a good place for the gaming table!) and in the afternoon an impromptu game against another friend, Orks vs Necrons... I'd like to say I did well, but I would by lying, I managed to kill 3 full units of Orks, and I was left with 1 tomb blade, 4 immortals, 4 warriors, my Lord and 3 Spyders at the end. His dice were on fire, mine were on ice, so many failed saves everywhere and his first turn was brutal (shock attack gun got boxcars on its first shot and produced a large blast vortex right on top of my warlord and 20 warriors. It all went down hill from there.

Oh and painting wise the bone colour is basically done

**Mad..**

Heh, write up is all done.... managed to get a bit of time to throw into it, it's in my painting blog in sig

Purifiers are looking nice and crisp.

**WarbossDakka**

Those guys are shaping up nicely, looks like they'll be done soon. Glad to hear you've had a good weekend!

**Knightley**

@Mad - Great write up! Everyone should go have a read

@WarbossDakka - Thanks!

Update: Metals underway!

**Dysartes**

Nice work on the two D&D models, Knightley - and good to see that Papa Squiggles is still working on his Knights.

**Gitsplitta**

Squad looks great Knightley... really well done. Great addition to your massive force.

**Knightley**

@Dysartes - Cheers! I hope to squiggles these guys home shortly

@Gits - Yeah having them look similar to the rest really does help, I was worried that after 2 years gap from the last lot I would forget how to do them.

Update: Lefts get some blue on these chaps eh?

**evildrcheese**

Very nice too. Love the fact they'very all got banners which by the look of it will be personalised.

EDC

**Knightley**

May the 4th be with you all!

@EDC - Yeah, they are an elite unit after all eh?

Update: armour edge highlighting underway!

**Camkierhi**

Gods these are looking spectacular.

**WarbossDakka**

Great highlighting Knightley. These are really good!

**Knightley**

@Cam - Well hopefully the squiggles adds more to them

@WarbossDakka - Thank you!

Update: Purifiers done!

**Knightley**

Update: Had an enjoyable weekend, Birthday was on Sunday so had lots of family time, however I did manage to do a little bit of painting.

**Camkierhi**

Happy b'day bud.

Yeah squiggles make them even more.......amazing.

And he pumps out another 5 in a spare 5 minutes!!

**WarbossDakka**

Happy birthday Knightley (better late than never

). Great job on the finished Purifiers, the finished banners with the classic squiggles are full of character, well done!

**Knightley**

@Cam - Thanks

@WarbossDakka - Cheers!

Update: more base colours done

**Knightley**

Update: Washes applied, next up, lets lighten the load

**IceAngel**

Happy Birthday Bro! How does it feel turning 80?

**Master Azalle**

Happy Birthday Knightly!

You're already at another 5 Grey Knights! I'll be damned brother. Your edge highlighting is so clean, it makes me self conscious about my Dark Angels!
