    I've been painting Grey Knights for years and have to say to see this different take on the process was refreshing. Love how the model turned out another great vid by Cult of Paint.

    Really love the subtlety between the blue armour and that blackened bronze colour for the lettering, the scheme I went with is quite dark and the lettering was brass scorpion which is quite a warm, orangey brass colour, so since they're complimentary it stands out, I like them - but if I had to do them again, i'd go for something a lot closer to this!

    Well you've hit all my requests now! 30k Iron Hands and Iron Warriors, Grey Knights...
    Great tutorial, really informative! I've used your Iron Warriors scheme for my Grey Knights revival project, as I wanted a Dawn Guard from Skyrim-inspired force. All dirty metal and brown leather.
    I think we'd all love to see the Horus Heresy tutorials rounded out, plus some variations from the Red Books that you see out there. Raven Guard for a dusky grey/black would be super interesting!

    I was out of the hobby for 15 years, got back and got WAY too much Aeldari to paint. But I got back my old metal Grey Knights army back from a friend. Will use this a reference for my future Grey Knights so I can get to playing small games while I figure out my Aeldari pile of shame.

That, and I'm still working on my Ad-mech and a couple of historicals as well. I think I have too many projects going on

  • @Wijkert
    @Wijkert 3 роки тому +1

    Great result! Love the blue armor!
    One gripe I have is that I can see the individual metal flakes in the paint. I feel like the Vallejo Metal Color range has finer grained aluminium flakes, which produce a smoother finish. Now I know that for gaming purposes this would not be a big issue, but I like my mini's to look great on closer inspection as well.
    Have you ever compared the different metallics you own by just looking at how fine the metal flakes are? I found that that was a good indicator of how much I like the finish on them.
