Don’t know what you got, but I got reinforcements…
Generally on Valentines Day you get flowers, chocolates, and other romantic stuff!
I got a boxed set of Grey Knights! Okay so not very romantic, but what a present!
There are five Grey Knights in the boxed set, including one Justicar and one Knight with incinerator.
Two of these may well end up as the crew of my Grey Knights Landspeeder.
Still quite a way to go…
Having only really done the flesh on the Inquisitor it looks like it may be some time before he ventures out onto the battlefield.
I am still not sure what colour his armour should be and should I stick with red for his cloak, I will have to decide soon I guess.
As I was painting other stuff, the Grey Knights Land Speeder got delayed somewhat.
All I have really done is paint some more of the bodywork, the legs and some more instrumentation.
More of the model painted… Managed to get in some painting time (the majority was spent on a secret project) however I did manage to get some more of my Grey Knights Land Speeder painted.
You can see I have painted more of the bodywork (in Boltgun Metal) and painted the Imperial Eagle in Burnished Gold with highlights. The Inquisitor Book has also had the edges painted in Burnished Gold.
The underneath has been drybrushed with Boltgun Metal and I may do some weathering on the engines later.
Though the crew legs still need painting, I have painted the instrument panel.
This final shot shows how the model is coming together… still need to paint the crew!
My original colour scheme for the Grey Knights in my Daemonhunters army was done as follows:
You can find out more here. However I was not happy with the results which looked too shiny.
Though I had followed the painting guide in the Codex there was one difference, I had used Chainmail and the guide recommended Boltgun metal.
My local store had sold out of Boltgun, but I managed to get a pot the other day from a GW store and had a go at re-painting the Grey Knights and was much happier with the results.
I am currently working on a Grey Knights Land Speeder for my Warhammer 40K Daemonhunters’ army.
I do realise that it is not in the Codex and there is not a lot of fluff to support such a model, however I do think it will look cool.
Using the Land Speeder which came with the original boxed set, purity symbols from ForgeWorld and a book and skull from the Inquisitor range.
The crew lower halves needed to be cut back as they were rounded and when the Grey Knight (metal models) are cut in half they will need a flat surface to stick to.
The Land Speeder weapon systems were “donated” to my Ork army to become a Loota unit.
The entire model was then sprayed black. The base colour is Boltgun metal.
