**lipsdapips**

True, true
Looking forward to seeing what you get!

**BLACKHAND**

A Baneblade huh? Tell me you are going to GK it up for Apoc games!

**IceAngel**

$250 to spend on models? Sounds like more then enough to churn out some marines for swapping!

eh?

**Matt.Kingsley**

lol.

Nice, a baneblade,those things hurt (I should know, got pounded by 3 of them on monday...)

**zariart**

Glad to hear you got good swag for Christmas,cant wait to see what you do with them.

**Knightley**

@LDP - First step below

@Blackhand - Course mate! I'm Seriously considering buying machinator's upgrade pack to make it a Felblade

@Ice - Yep, next time I'm at my LFGS I'll get a pack of 10 marines to paint up and trade out.

@Matt.Kingsley - Perfect, what I need to find next will be an Apocalypse game to rock on with

@Zari - No worries, I hope to suitably impress

Got some painting done today

The last Paladin of the group is started!

**Gitsplitta**

Pretty exciting Knightly! He looks like a good-un too!

**inmygravenimage**

Exciting indeed! Good to see you saddled up once more.

**Moltar**

Jeez, only one paladin left? That's insane! As always, your stuff is looking smashing, Knightley. Looking forward to a better pic so I can see your unique take on that bloodletter's head.

**lipsdapips**

He's going to look fantastic mate! FAR better then mine, can't wait to see him!

**Knightley**

@Gits - Oh yes, I think the time spent on this squad should show in spades when on the table top or display shelf.

@Graven - Cheers mate, every model done gets me closer to doing a spurt with GMS, I hope your ready to do one for me

@Moltar - One last paladin in this push

I can't say for certain if I will stop at only 5... I Probably will but nothing is ever written in stone (except stone carvings...)

@LDP - Different stroke for different folks LDP, your guys are pretty awesome in their own way!

Update: So I had a visitor in the form of my younger brother pop over for the afternoon and he asked me for a favor. He has an old Inquisitor Scale marine (Artemis IIRC) who only needs his head done, so I got to paint a huge head for a change

Some one had fiddled with my camera settings so I ended up taking a few shots

Better shot IMO

**lipsdapips**

Wow. Looks amazing, great work on the eyes! Thanks for your kind words too ;P

**GreyDeathOne**

Happy New Year Knightley!! Hey that head looks familiar!

That reminds me to soak my guy in Simple Green and redo him. Yours came out great love the detail!

**inmygravenimage**

Oh man, to see you let loose on 54mmm! Wonderful indeed. And as for gms, I'll happily do you a Weeping Angel - you've already given me more than enough. Pm me any thoughts for what you fancy.

**Knightley**

@LDP - Cheers, I tried doing a black dot in the center of the color as well, the black kept drying before I could get there.

@GD1 - Happy New Years to you as well mate! I did like doing the scale, I might see if I can find one of the old un-assembled Inquisitor models I have somewhere.

@Graven - PM sent!

Just a little bit more from yesterday, my Brother has some old Necrons and I managed to tax one to paint up in his scheme.

His is on the left, mine is on the right

**STC_LogisEngine**

Crisp, steady, consistent, beautiful and coherent brushwork Knightley, this army is turning out nicely indeed. *applauds*
And don't you get distracted by the Necrons now! Back to Titan with you!

**daxx367**

The Necron looks good...I see another army coming on

.

**inmygravenimage**

I like that. I always thought ceramic necrons would look good. Roger roger, etc.

**Knightley**

@STC_LogisEngine - Cheers man! and just for you I'm back into it again (see below)

@Daxx - Hahah, I wanted to see what it was like painting a Necron, not sure I like it, perhaps it was because the model was fully assembled and already had a coat of paint on it so I couldn't apply my full technique to it (I just realized that it's not 'my' technique more on how I paint)

@Graven - Glad you like it, I might have to whip out some old unpainted TauEeldar and do a few test schemes on them to see what can happen next

Paladin Sgt WIP 2

**Matt.Kingsley**

I like your necron better, don't know why...

Sgt, looks nice, even in his exploded form

**Ogryn**

Very nice, Knightley! I love the face, such great detail. I have been away for a while, but hope to be on more.

**Gitsplitta**

I think you should magnetize him, so when he gets killed the can kind of... explode all over the battlefield.

**Knightley**

@Matt.Kingsley - Thanks man, I had to laugh at the exploded form idea

@Ogryn - Welcome back man, I look forward to your continued commitment to the community!

@Gits - Sounds like a plan, I just need to find many small magnets, of and some explosives....

Update: 3000 posts reached! and the Paladin Sgt done! I tried a different way of painting on the Demon head with a base of mithril silver and only used washes to shade it, I think it would look awesome on armor, not sure it works on flesh (but demon flesh it kind of works)

**lipsdapips**

Oooh great work man! The cleanliness of the Grey Knight really suits their fluff and all that, love the writing all over him too. Also great work on the demon hammer!

**Ogryn**

Beautiful, Knightley! He sure looks like a real Paladin! Great job on the lightning effect on the Thunder Hammer. The Daemon head is spectacular as well.

**daxx367**

Hi it all look great...but I would have the deamon head darker it just dosnt seem deamony.

**Matt.Kingsley**

nice

Top Tip: Hammer's hurt

**IceAngel**

Love the paint job as always Knightley, but I think i'll agree with daxx. The demon head needs to be darker and maybe even dirtier. The horns are way too clean. Also, for someone who just slew that demon he did an excellent job not getting anything on him. There's also not even any blood on the base, and its clearly dripping blood.

Completely random side note, if you kill a demon does it go back into the warp? If that's the case then would there ever even be demon bodies on a battlefield? I always wondered about that. For some reason I always thought when you killed a demon they disappeared.

**Flying Pooo**

That Paladin Sgt is awesome. As usual is't so clean and crisp. Great work Knightley!

As far as i remember, it is their beings, the conscious that goes back. And if I'm wrong he is using his psychic might to stand there and look awesome.
