Amazing colors!

This is fantastic, I'd love to face this army.

Dude is riding a frikkin unicorn,i nearly fell out of my chair.Yeee haaww you have my admiration my friend.The colours are fantastic and have given you a completely original force.I salute you.

Wtf did I just see? Its so wrong that its right.

This is great! I'm always impressed with the types of conversions people come up with.

When I saw the guy in the wheelchair I laughed at how awesome it is haha
Very nice greens with very nice blacks makes these models just POP!

You sir win the internets

I absolutely love ol' Gramps Hotwheels.

At first you're like "haha, old angry guy in wheel chair!" Then you see how he halberd is fixed and you realise he is actually ramming people to do any damage, and then you start hearing the sound of an electric wheelchair coming at you in your head while watching his face.

Just amazing.

I'd love to hear how you did that green colour. It's incredibly vivid, and like someone said, on the dreads it could work as a serious scheme too. Those dread poses are just too awesome though. Keeping the rider outside of the dread? Inspired!

You will never lose them in the dark xD

This is too damn perfect!

My....my eyes, they burn. If they weren't painted so well I think I might have vomited violently, well done sir. Might I suggest bright neon pink and orange next time?

Warp dust purple eh?

I am immediately a huge fan of Day-glo-wing.

I think it's a little over the top obviously what you were going for, though.

BURN IT! BURN IT WITH FIRE! and exterminateses, many, many, exterminateses

Too much warp dust. Everything too beautiful to comprehend.

+1 for unicorn.

You, Sir, are a genius and a madman in equal measure, and I must salute you.

I would love nothing more than to lose a game of 40K to this army.

Wow, front page of Dakka! Awesome.

Thanks guys.

The yellow was white primer, and 12-15 layers of Vallejo fluorescent yellow. I may try on future models layering light brown, to yellows, to the fluorescent, but I brute forced this approach. It involved using the thinner medium from Vallejo to make sure the layers stayed thing but keeping the pigment.

Tedious. To a new level.

Then I used the new GW green glaze but with more Vallejo thinner medium and water. About 2-3 washes got the right level of color to for the shadow effects.

Finally, I returned with the yellow to catch spots and then a yellow/white mix to highlight.

The dark accents provoked a great deal of swearing and nights of having to just set models down. I don't think I'll be keen to tackle this for other major units in my GK army, however I do have a matching Librarian, Tech Marines, and Justicar Thawn on the bench. Likely to be a long time before they get done because of a special job I'm doing right now that's going to be on a timeline.

Too many models, not enough time to paint. Story of my hobby. Glad folks are enjoying it. It's actually a great army to play with Coteaz and some acolytes in the mix. But for now, I'll be building stuff from my sisters, planning my Eldar Exodites, and working on a special project.



Also, I'd like to point out my lone Pal-adin, Steve:



Steve is my Solodin, arriving late to the party as usual. Steve teleports on the battlefield... in utter confusion. You see, Steve missed the memo on the paint jobs. Steve's always the last know these things. And Steve's incompetence weighs on his battle capabilities. In 9 games with this army, Steve has done something good once and only because Captain Ginyu had his back. Steve has mihapped into oblivion, eaten lascannons, assaulted assault marines and failed to kill a one with his daemonhammer, get cut down in close combat with 10 plaguebearers, shot to pieces by pink horrors and even die to overwatch from a missile launcher in a marine unit.

All I can say this... Goddammit, Steve. Goddammit...







A few more of the crew.

Cher's a GK now? Wouldn't surprise me. At about 110 she still looks 30ish. But the overall army... has some serious merit.

This army is obnoxious and ludicrous and I love it. Good painting for such a silly scheme too!

I.. I love you :')

When I first checked out the first post I didn't really like the scheme. At the end here it looks mint. Well done on an interesting project.

Too damn awesome.

you have draigo riding a unicorn and a Yu-Gi-Oh knight. This army is awesome

Plus Skeletor,this is eye-achingly awesome.

I have to ask how much did the army cost you?

I think we can all agree it's totally awesome but it's still a humour army and GW stuff is expensive.

Did you find a way to get massive discounts?

I don't think I know where you are going with this.

Expensive hobby is expensive.

All kits were bought at retail as I needed new stuff to do the customization work. The army was roughly $300 for the core, spare parts from other kits for Acolytes and a Coteaz model I traded for.

Draigowing is probably one of the cheapest armies to get to 2000 points and can be rewarding for any painter, as the basic color scheme is simple to achieve.

My almost 3000pts of Sisters is another issue entirely...

See, mine sound really cheap because they were bought when they first were produced, lol.

50 shades of grey. I see what you did there.

OMG - That is the first time that I have ever seen an army painted in OSHA approved safety colors! Other than the fact that I am having a hard time seeing anything after looking at the gloriousness that is day-glow safety green, I have no complaints, and I approve of it. Of course as I scrolled down the first couple pictures, I had to do a double take after asking myself "was that a unicorn?" This army is spectacular, great job!

I think one of my favorite things in 40k is seeing funny stuff like this. Great job.
