Congrats Knightley, great news! Being a dad is the best.

And I vote you should give Infinity a try, the models are a joy to paint.

A son of a b&*ch to assemble, but a joy to paint

**Matt.Kingsley**

Yes, Congrats Knightley!

Termi is looking great!

And I don't really care what you do after you finish your Grey Knights/Gray Nights, as long as what you do looks as good as your current work!

**Nashbashem**

Congrats Knightley! You can use the long sleepless nights to do more painting

And its always good to expand your horizons. Keep it up

**Knightley**

@Gits - Cheers

and I interpreted it as try a different style to see how it goes, not try a new army

@Graven - Thanks man, I was thinking I wonder if it does work (about 5 months ago'ish) and low and behold. Eldar might be the tricksy next army.

@Blackhand - Infinity you say eh, I've seen some of the models, do you know of any NZ retailers for them?

@M.K - Thank you

@Nash - Yeah I figure I have about 1 year before I need to start packing up and hiding models and paints etc from grasping hands and inquisitive motives

Update: Grey is solid after a second coat

Slave to Painting is selling them here in NZ

http://www.slavetopainting.co.nz/

but it is just as easy to go through a guy called Chokonnit on the official forums

http://infinitythegame.com/forum/index.php?/topic/6191-split-box-leftovers/

He sells new models as well as splits up boxes and sells the individual models which can be really handy and he has a great reputation. Just PM him and he will flick you a quote

**Knightley**

Sweet, thanks for the links man. I'll have a look at them later in the year

Update: Highlights done

**IceAngel**

Congrats on the news Knightley. Be prepared to have your schedule all messed up for awhile but its worth it.

If its a boy, are you going to name him Draigo? Perhaps Stern or Castellan?

**Knightley**

Thanks Ice,

I was thinking more along the lines of Eldrad of heck even Kharn, I bet no kids with mess with them when he's tearing of their arms and beating them with the soggy end

Update: Red's and metal done

**Matt.Kingsley**

Looking great, still, Knightley!

**Knightley**

Thanks Matt

Update: Terminator done

Front

Rear

**BigJim**

As I'm sure has already been said many times over... your skin tones are a thing of beauty.

**Knightley**

Thanks BigJim, I was very scared of doing faces as all my previous attempts had failed so horribly then once I had a GW redshirt show me a quick way it was like the stars aligned and it became so easy

Update: 4th Terminator started

**Matt.Kingsley**

Very nice start!

**IceAngel**

Knightley, I think that terminator is my favorite so far. He is in a very dynamic pose which is tough to do with terminators. Great job.

**Casey's Law**

I think you should change the blog title to 'Crisp, Grey and Consistent' because your unrelenting turn over of quality GKs is immense!

And congratulations on becoming a father! Now what army are you going to make him/her play?

I wonder if someone sells mobiles with paintbrushes and boltguns... Or power armour baby grows... GW are missing out on some serious profits. I think I've just struck gold with this idea.

Also I second, third and fourth the vote for Infinity. This is the perfect time, I'm just in the process of organising a new Dakka Painting Competition for it so get down to the subforum and keep an eye on us working out a theme. What have you got to lose? Buy a mini, paint it up and enter it and you might win some more!

Automatically Appended Next Post:
Oh and Shae down in the sub-forum ships Infinity to most of the world at really competitive rates. He's in Scotland but sometimes it's cheaper than more local options, I know quite a few Americans and Canadians definitely order from him. Plus I think he'll remove the packaging to keep costs down if you ask.

**inmygravenimage**

Or try static in Glasgow? Good international rates.

**Knightley**

@M.K - Chur

@Ice - Thanks man, its why I like the new plastic GK's being able to pose them in weird and wonderful ways just rules

@Casey - I'm thinking Tyranids, you know parasites that eat everything and ruin worlds

Send me a link to the comp, I'll see what I can do!

@Graven - I'll look at local first

but thanks for the heads up

Update: first stage grey done

**Matt.Kingsley**

Crisp, grey tyranids?

Termi is still looking great, on a more serious note

**Casey's Law**

Haha, nice! I'll drop you a pm.

**Knightley**

@M.K - Hahah I don't think I'd want to touch grey again after I finish this army, and I'd like to do more of a small 1000 point army but weathered/OSL'd etc.

@Casey - PM received and having a look now

Update: Grey is solid!

**Knightley**

Grey Highlights done

**Matt.Kingsley**

Very nice!

**Squidbot**

Bloody Grey Knights. I hate'em! Shame yours look so fething nice!

**Knightley**

@M.K - Cheers

@Squidbot - I know right, it sounds like a love hate relationship

Update: Reds and Metals done

**Nashbashem**

Ah great work Knightley! (not that this needs to be said anymore

)

**Knightley**

Cheers Nash

Update: Model done

Front

Rear

**Casey's Law**

I really like the dynamic pose on this one!

**Gitsplitta**

Great pose!

**inmygravenimage**

Agreed - you've really raised the bar on those recent TAGK!

**Knightley**

@Casey - Thanks man

@Gits - Thank you

@Graven - I find the plastics have better lines on the front (the back of the legs is terrible however) and are really posable, so you can get way better looking models

Update: Thawn has been started
