They look most impressive as a unit! Well done!

**l0k1**

Thanks! I'll see if I can get started on a Dreadknight tonight, but no promises as to how much will get done.

**l0k1**

Well I didn't get a ton of the base coating done but here is what I have done.

**lipsdapips**

Those colours look sweet on the DK
great work, nice and uniform!

**l0k1**

Thanks, but like I said I didn't get done base coating it. I still have to add more black to certain areas, boltgun metal to others, and decide if I want to try and free hand a design on his shield it see if I can get a water transfer that would look good.

**l0k1**

Ok, I got some more colors done. I almost forgot how much of a pain in the a$$ painting a Dreadknight is lol.

**caminacambob**

It's getting there! Can't be worse than painting a Tau tank, so... many..... layers.....

And I demand a freehand design!

**l0k1**

If I do a freehand design I'm thinking of doing the Exorcist chapter symbol.

I have to stay late for work all this week so I want get as much done, but I'll do what I can.

**caminacambob**

Of course work comes first but I feel that a design on the shield would be that little thing that makes the model great

P.S. I really don't know my grey knights fluff but would they allow a dreadknight to a unit which they suspect may be falling to chaos? Or has it come from the Exorcists chapter?

**l0k1**

Finally done base coating, and washed.

The Grey Knights wouldn't allow outsiders to use their tech, but for the sake of the theme of the army I'll just ignore that part lol.

**caminacambob**

Nice work!

We can let that slip, don't worry

**evildrcheese**

The group shot looks great. A fine looking unit.

The dreadknight is coming along nicely, keep it up.

D

**l0k1**

Got some highlighting done. I just need to do the red highlights, the design on his shield, his force sword, and then a final wash.

**caminacambob**

Very nice, like the mechanicus symbol, good contrast of colours.

Do you intend to paint the force sword similarly to the paladins'?

**l0k1**

Similar style, perhaps a different color. Thoughts?

**caminacambob**

Different colours aren't bad, not green again though!

Perhaps you could do them in unit specific colours?

**eldartau1987**

It looks awesome! Was it hard to put together? I am buying two this weekend?

**l0k1**

Hmmmm, I could see if I have any purple and do a test with that.

@Eldartau the dreadknight isn't hard to build though I would suggest painting it before its full built. There are so many nooks and crannys that pop out once its built and its hard to get them.

**eldartau1987**

I figured so! Keep up the good work!

**l0k1**

Here is the mostly finished Dreadknight. Still need to do his force sword, try something with his shield and do his base. I tried the Purple on a sword and it didn't really look good. I think I'll stay with the "fiery sword" look.

**caminacambob**

Oh well, just a suggestion!

I really like the fade from black to red on shin pads, stood out from the rest

**l0k1**

Gotta love the washes. After two washes it really made that mechrite red dark. Though it seems the new black wash is a lot thicker and darker than the old Badab black wash. Probably should've used a glaze but I'm still very pleased with the way this model came out.

**eldartau1987**

This looks pretty good!

**l0k1**

Alright here is the Dreadknight with his finished force sword and I went with the water transfer just because I'm terrible at free hand stuff lol. I'll post pics when I get the base done, which will be sometime next week.

**l0k1**

Here is the Dreadknight on a base

**eldartau1987**

Looks good!

**caminacambob**

Nice work!

(However the absence of free hand design is inexcusable!

)

Like the base, nice and simple

**l0k1**

Lol sorry my hand isn't steady enough to do the what I wanted. I'm going to take a little break to get some non Daemon Company stuff caught up. I'll be back to do the land raider. After that I'll have to actually buy more PAGK so I can do Interceptors/Strike Squads/Purifiers. Lol

**invisiblade**

Instead of taking them to the grey knight fortress, you could say the GK's gave them the wargear of the fallen warriors, and found a trait with the armour that it's color depends on the Psyker powering it (Remember that the armor is powered with the Aegis). Because these are different psykers, over some time the color scheme changed to read....

**l0k1**

Very interesting idea! Thanks!
