Grey Knights Razorback

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 Razorback and added Grey Knights iconography I gave the model a black undercoat.

The next stage will be adding the basecoat.

Inquisitorial Stormtrooper Repressor Undercoated

Having finished building my Inquisitorial Stormtrooper Repressor and added lots of symbology I gave the model a black undercoat.

I used Citadel’s Chaos Black spray.

I also undercoated the dozer blade as well.

The next stage will be to give the model a base coat.

Dark Angelish Grey Knights

For my (very slow) grey Knights army I am using a variety of Space Marine models for the core troops. These include Space Marine Veterans and Dark Angels.

Having got a Dark Angels box set, I made them up and gave the models a black undercoat.

So they are not like the metal Grey Knights, but Grey Knights use a variety of old equipment, now and again I suspect they may use slightly newer kit hence being able to use the Dark Angels sprues.

Tallarn Inquisitorial Stormtroopers

As well as my other Daemonhunters Inquisitorial Stormtroopers which are based on the Cadian Kasrkin I have also decided to add a unit based on the Tallarn or I may just use them as inducted Imperial Guard.

Having fitted them to their bases and flocked the bases I gave them a white undercoat.

I do like these models.

Black Templar Cenobyte with Relic

I have always liked this model, but wasn’t sure a) where it came from, b) what it was called, so I could never find it in the stores or on the online store.

It was only recently when reading through an old White Dwarf that I saw it was part of the Black Templars Chaplain Grimaldus and Retinue Boxed Set.

So now I knew which boxed set it came from, I could work out what it was called and find it in the online store. It is available either as part of a boxed set or individually. As I wasn’t too bothered about the other miniatures in the boxed set I purchased it individually through Mail Order.

I will be using it as part of my Inquisitorial retinue.

Having cleaned the model I based it with GW modelling sand.

Detailing the Stormtroopers

One part of any model which takes it from a painted model to a gaming masterpiece is the details.

Having taken my Inquisitorial Stormtroopers through the wash and then a drybrush, the next stage was the details. For example painting the muzzle of the hellguns in black. I painted the helmet visors in light blue and highlighted in white.

Details on this model includes the head of the sergeant (he’s the only model not wearing a helmet).

Detailing the Stormtroopers

Then there are the Heavy Weapon troopers.

Lots of nice detail on the rear of these models. I used Bleached Bone for the eagle symbols.

Overall making the unit looking better and better.

Another view.

Drybrushing

After giving the Inquisitorial Stormtroopers a wash consisting of Chestnut Ink, Scorched Brown paint (which helps remove the gloss of the ink) and some water to thin the wash down. I then drybrushed the uniforms with Desert Yellow.

The sergeant and the heavy weapons.

Next stage will be the details.

Washing their uniforms

After giving the Inquisitorial Stormtroopers a base coat of Desert Yellow the next stage is a wash. I gave the Stormtroopers a wash consisting of Chestnut Ink, Scorched Brown paint (which helps remove the gloss of the ink) and some water to thin the wash down.

These are the core troopers.

These are the Heavy Weapons troopers and the Sergeant.

Next stage will be a drybrush.
