WIP: Grey Knights



I got a lot done today in the hobby (for me at least). I got the first coat of Skull White painted on the helmets and shoulder pads of the 5-man Purifier Squad.


I also started on some weapon details for my Terminator/Paladin Squad.




Last, but not least, I have the whole chassis cut from the Razorback sprue and have started to prime it. I'll be finishing the prime later tonight before work. If, I can keep this up, I'll have the start of my army done in no time!

WIP: Grey Knight Stuff and Hobby Updates



I haven't been able to find too much time lately for painting and assembly, but I did manage to pick up my first Razorback and have started clipping the pieces from the sprue and seeing how they will eventually go together. I've decided that this Razorback will be straight from the box without any conversions, so I can learn how to put one together. Future Razorbacks for my Grey Knight army will include doors from Forge World.



Painting-wise, I manage to do some Mithril Silver highlighting and some Gryphonne Sepia Washing earlier this week.



And then earlier tonight added some Burnished Gold highlighting to the gold lettering...


... and started on the Beached Bone layer for the helmets and shoulderpads of the Purifiers and start work on the skulls and seals. Only a couple of models made it this far (the Beached Bone layer) but I may get a chance to finish this layer later tonight, along with some more clipping out the Razorback.




My next step, after finishing the Beached Bone layer, is to wash the areas (except shoulderpads and helmets) in Gryphonne Sepia wash and put another layer of Beached Bone on the helmets and shoulderpads. I'll also finish clipping out the Razorback. My goal is to have all of this finished by mid-week, but as with everything that I schedule beyond work and school, we shall see.

In other hobby news, I will be going down to Bud's Place on Saturday morning to watch the first round of the 'Ard Boys semi-finals, which I am looking forward to. I've started Galaxy in Flames and a book review of False Gods will be appearing on the blog here later this month. Other than that, I've just been listening to a lot of podcasts and exploring themed and fluffy Space Marine lists (especially those for Salamanders and Ravenguard).

WIP: Purifiers Update

Not completely happy with how things are looking at this point, which is the Gryphonne Sepia wash over the gold highlights and the first layer of Mithril Silver on the armor. I've only done 2 of the models with this layer, so going to see how they look after they dry and a second coat put on. I'm thinking I need to thin down this Mithril Silver layer by a lot but we'll see. I am liking the depth that came out of the tabbard with the Gryphonne Sepia wash and hoping it translates well when I start to whiten it out a bit later.

The Shiny Gold has been applied after the Badab Black wash on all 5 models. Next up, will be to apply Gryphonne Sepia wash to the areas of gold.

Grey Knights, Purifier Lists

Back when I first let it out that I would be leaning towards Grey Knights, my brother-in-law sent me this Purifier list:

My 2000 pt GK List:
Crowe 150
5 times
10 Purifiers, 4 psycannons, 5 halberds 290
Razorback with TL Lascannon 80
= 2000 on the nose.
Razorbacks shoot enemy armor. Squads advance to midfield and shoot/wrestle everything to death. Crowe stays in the back, plants a lawn chair, dons sunglasses, and watches the kabooms. Kinda boring, but I think it could spank just about anything.
He was right so far. From my understanding this army of his is undeafeted and he's yet to have to break a sweat. I personally like the simplicity of his list and the fact that anything he trains his guns on is pretty much toast. I mean think about it - a whopping 20 template Psycannons firing at anything you have on the table that he wants dead? It's going to be.

Edit: See comments below.

Now, because I love my brother-in-law (he's not only gotten me into 40K he's just a righteous dude **per Bueller's Day Off accent), I have to mess with him, frustrate him with my newbie lists. trust me I send these things to him all the time, this one is just public!
