Veri fine made. I like the shading and then the battledamadge/rust on top of that. :-) Good colour choise as well.

Very nice

Beautiful stuff! xxx

I really like how you did your metallics without making them clumpy or chunky looking. I think you did a good job with your weathering too, and didn't go overboard with the effect.

The only piece of constructive criticism I have is to trim the mould lines off the back of your weapon arms. I know it can be a pain in the butt, especially on areas with lots of topographic irregularity, but it's worth it in the end.

Still, great pieces!

good painting, good weathering good
very good

Congratulations. These are Barksdale approved.

A razorback for the same collector.

The top hatch/turret is not glued down and i painted the rhino doors also.

More to come.

That looks beautiful, I love the blending of the blue.

You made GK look not boring. Quite a feat!

That was my main goal before i even painted my first GK - I wanted something somewhat similiar to the GW scheme but make it less boring. Many thanks!!

another razorback

More grey knights and more to come.

Awesome paintjob!

Awesome job on those I really loved em! And... that one is a really happy driver I bet on it!

Very nice! I love the red glass gems/orbs! Really great detail

Nice paint job, love the rust on the dred

awesome work ! I love your metal blue.

Yeah, some of the better Grey Knights I've seen lately. Great job!

These are awesome man. Love the hue of blue/silver you were able to achieve.

Thanks, glad you like them. I wanted the blue to be totally blended in and seamless, this turned out to be not so easy.

But now i think i have started to perfect the recipe

Those are simply amazing! I need to know your perfect recipe lol.

I need to know too!!

I painted the model silver.

Then I made a very thin mix of blue ink and silver around 50/50. This mix is airbrushed very carefully onto the areas that i want to have a blue tint. I stress carefully because if you go too heavy on it you'll end up with just a blue-silver model and that would ruin the contrast.

then from there the brush work starts, glazing the recesses with blue ink, black ink, asmuren blue, badab black for shadows and then bright metallics to hit some highlights, mithril silver is nice for this.

I also like to do "metal glazes" ill call them. basically a bunch of asmuren blue with some metallic mixed into it, you can use this to smooth out transitions, and lightly go over your airbrushed blue areas to smooth them out even more. but you need to go very light on this or you will mess up the airbrushed layer which puts you back at square one again. Use it as a glaze, not a wash.

hope this helps.

And a librarian. I like this guy alot, I think he turned out great.

And a grandmaster. This guy is nearly as wide as two dreadnoughts sword tip to sword tip.

Originally i wanted to sculpt him a cape but in the end im glad i didnt because he took awhile to finish as is.

I think I just sapped my streets' broadband to load these images haha!

Serious time, absolutely love the work on these! How long did it take you to do the Power Weapons? They look real nice

Really good - especially like how you have done the white helms as well!

On a side note and this is no criticism of you, though those dreadnoughts are awful models!

Wow. Very crisp execution
