Unlike the other Spacemarines, with Greyknights there's very little room to play arround with the colour scheme, but so far that never bothered me because they greyknights themselves had a very distinctive style to them, being... well... knights.
But with the new dark angels release they do the same thing, and they do it better.


What would you say are the core stylistic elements of greyknights, what is their theme?

Personally I came up with the following:
- helmets; the visors are one of the most easily recognizable features of the GK (just look at how many people swap their dreadnought heads for greaknight ones)
- terminator armour; the "baroque" power armour is the second thing which clearly sets GK's apart from other chapters, something which saddly doesn't carry over to normal power armour
- the book and sword; as the insignia of the GK's this is one of the more obvious ones, but personally I find just sticking a insignia on something not quite enough to determine the look of a vehicle/building/whatever]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/566830/6316792.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/566830/6316792.page GMT lol.

Super ornate armor. Grey Knights, according to the fluff, bling out their armor above and beyond anything the other chapters can imagine or afford. Use the new sternguard kits for everyone in your army. Filigree and gold ropes and every inch of armor covered in ominous latin phrases on all your dudes, and a cape for every shoulder.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/566830/6317033.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/566830/6317033.page GMT GK will be in a dark purple color scheme. There was a Dakka user that had his in a dark red scheme and they were very well done.
But, yes, blinh, heraldry, and their weapons are other ways to set them apart. Scenic bases can help, too.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/566830/6317427.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/566830/6317427.page GMT
