Inquisitorial Stormtrooper Repressor basecoat

If you have looked at my Grey Knights Landspeeder you will realise that I am attempting to paint a Grey Knights force which goes beyond the listings in the DaemonHunters Codex. What I am trying to do is to create a Grey Knights force (using the Space Marine Codex) and then using a DaemonHunters force as allies.

Having constructed my Repressor and added Inquisitorial iconography I gave the model a black undercoat. The next stage was the basecoat and for that I am using the Tausept Ochre Foundation Paint as a basecoat. So why is it brown? I blogged about this back in 2007.

Slowly getting there.

Base coating the Skyshield Landing Pad

After undercoating the Skyshield Landing Pad the next stage was the base coat.

I used a Humbrol green spray can for the base coat.

I had to ensure that I covered all the undercut detail, especially on the legs.

Next stage is detailing and weathering.

Grey Knights Razorback basecoat

Having constructed my Razorback and added Grey Knights iconography I gave the model a black undercoat. The next stage was the basecoat and for that I am using the Tausept Ochre Foundation Paint as a basecoat. So why is it brown? I blogged about this back in 2007.

Grey Knights MkIIb Land Raider

Having given the Land Raider Mark IIb a black undercoat I started the basecoat.

Though this is a Grey Knights Land Raider, I decided early on with this force that the majority of the armoured vehicles would be a sandy desert colour.

I used Citadel Foundation Paint, Tausept Ochre as the basecoat.

Now I made a mistake, you get a set of doors and I (foolishly) asked them to replace the supplied eagle doors with Grey Knights Land Raider doors. Now what I didn’t realise was that the side doors on the sponson are not the same size as the Land Raider doors, but are in fact the same size as Rhino side doors. So the Grey Knight doors are too big!

Softening the Blastscape

Having given the Blastscape a base coat of black and red primer, I used a brown spray to soften the harshness of the base coat.

I was quite pleased with the effect. Next stage is drybrushing.

Basecoating the Blastscape

After applying the texture and letting it dry fully I gave the blastscape a basecoat of black and red primer.

Washing the Killa Kans

After letting the base coat dry I gave the models a wash using the Devlan Mud wash from Games Workshop.

This has really bought out the detail and added shading.

More soon…

Killa Kan basecoat

Having given my Killa Kans a double undercoat, the next stage was the base coat. For this I used a Humbrol brown spray.

I purposely didn’t spray from underneath to leave a shadow with the black paint.

The other one.

And another one.

Undercoating the Skyshield Landing Pad

Before basecoating my Skyshield Landing Pad I gave it a white undercoat.

Shadows on the Killa Kans

Having given the Killa Kans a white undercoat, the next stage was to add shadows by spraying a black paint undercoat underneath the model.

The aim of this was that when I painted the base coat on to the models the black undercoat would “catch” any part of the base coat spray that missed and add shadows to the model.

I did add a little more black spray to the rear for the engines.
