Grats mate seriously good job. My only thing might be to add more shading to the gun.
But the detail work on the legs etc looks very nice. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/466121/4590635.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/466121/4590635.page GMT My first Grey knight

You should try taking some photo's with a white background, like a sheet of paper with 2 or 3 light sources from different angles. It gives a much better colour balance and will do your mini justice. Keep painting!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/466121/4590647.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/466121/4590647.page GMT Re:My first Grey knight http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/466121/4590649.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/466121/4590649.page GMT Re:My first Grey knight http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/466121/4592526.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/466121/4592526.page GMT Re:My first Grey knight

That's why I don't like to paint Grey Knights, painting metal/chrome is much harder than slapping on a metallic paint.
Yeah the metal parts will look a lot better with some good shading and highlighting. Some black (or perhaps blue would look better) ink in the crevices and some silver metallic paint for the highlights - yeah drybrushing will work well here.

Aw man - look at that sword, and those eyes
nice!

Great blending on the sword, I've tried to pull that off with only moderate success.
And the eyes look white hot with the fury of the emperor!

Something you might want to try on a future model like this is Object Source Lighting (OSL)
That is, making some parts look like they're giving off light.
This would look good on the eyes especially, and maybe those blue tubes feeding into the gun.
Its a more advanced technique, but judging by this model I think you can pull it off.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/466121/4593980.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/466121/4593980.page GMT Re:My first Grey knight A few more added to the collection.
