Small Grey Knights update.

Today I did some work on the terminator chaplain/ grey knight kit-bash, putting some GS into the gap where they meet and using an armour plate to tie both of the elements together. To get a 100% seamless transition I should have sculpted the whole upper torso myself...but that is a bit beyond me ATM.

So here he is (lighting isn't at all perfect on my desk)

So now I have to get onto the arms, I am also considering adding an incense burner from the Dark Angel upgrade sprue, I will decide on that later though as I don't want it to get too crowded.

I received the landraider commission, but due to a dedfective gw primer problem up on the commissioner's side I also had to strip it. I also received the dark arts miniatures bases which I will do a photo review of, as well as a set of gk landraider doors. On my own landraider, the forgeworld extra armour is slowly driving me mad, it doesn't fit the armour, the landraider doors, don't fit the armour, I've had to cut it and bend it to get it somewhere near finished. I should however finish it tomorrow evening, but a source of annoyance.

Also with the spare GS I did some work on a space marine who will be part of my next project after the Grey Knights. Alpharius, I will be using up the pre-heresy parts from my failed ultramarines project for a force bases around the tyrant legion rule-set with alpha legion instead of astral claws.

                                                       

As always thanks for looking.

Baneblade "Bessie" and various other Marines.

With my continual problems of modelling ADHD I have put the ultramarines on hold due to lost motivation and each mini taking me four hours to paint. So what have I been doing? I've been working on my grey knights army to provide some tutorials on painting them and to eventually sell them off.

Lighting ain't perfect but meh metallics.

So sometime next weekend I will put up a video/picture tutorial on how to paint the basic grey knight. I will be using a H&S infinity airbrush, but any dual action airbrush should suffice. VMA boltgun metal and VMA chrome were used before a wash using promodellers black wash...which is one of the best systems ever for washes IMHO http://www.promodellers.co.uk/promodellers-weathering-wash/.


I've also been building up my portfolio of work. An imperial fist veteran.

He's now currently up on ebay: Imperial fist veteran.

And now the title of this blog post the turret of Imperial Baneblade "Bessie."

I need to update the pics because the lenses have been done. The colour scheme is loosely based on the British Berlin Brigade armour on the Chieftain tanks Camo. If you want to I can do a tutorial in the future when I do the rest of the body. But overall it was very fun to paint.

I know this is a bit TL:DR but once my exams are over this Wednesday I will do more work setting up my commissions website, paint my GKs army along with the tutorial which should hopefully be finished before the 12th of February. Then I am looking to move out from my parents house and move in with a friend, which will be awesome, so if between the 20th feb and 20th of march you don't hear from me, you will know why (blogpost update later.)

Thanks for looking.
