Nice work on the Knights. Not particularly crazy about the green rims on the bases, but the detail looks nice. I like the tracks on your tank as well,it seems like a feature the prestigious grey knights would have. The only recommendation I would make is to wash the grey knights with badab black, then go back over them and highlight with mithril silver. Its a easy, effective way to give the characters depth.

Same with the grinder, a quick wash then a quick drybrush with the same color makes the model look 10X better

I love the unusual colours of the Grinder. As the others have said you'd take it from 'interesting' to 'admirable' with a little washing and shading.

Same applies to the Knights. Keep up the good work, you're on your way to a very tidy army.

Thanks for that, just so people know the soul grinder was kinda speed painted but also looks a lot darker in real life.

With the highlighting on the Soul grinder, what colours should be used for this?

Also: Thanks again for the advice!

I'm gonna be another one whos going to throw a 'wash it' comment out there.

Badab Black wash is such an awsome product. Makes a huge difference in the appearance of a mini.

A lot. 5K +
