Grey Knights!

Well after a gee up from Doc on the lack of posts I thought I had better get round to telling you all what I have been up to. Well I had a great month off from modelling/painting but did a load of buying! EBay was a true friend. I picked up apoc + apoc reload rulebook and Imp armour 1 and 2 all for under 50%! Via Warseer, I bought 10 grey knight terminators (new plastic, 1 box unopened!) for £35, and 7 bikes and 1 attack bike (a bit mashed up) for £12; and finally I helped Hypa cull his collection buy taking his Ravenwing off his hands.

So what are my plans? Well I have many, but here are a few:

1.       Paint 20 grey knight paladins. This will give me a nice 1750 list along with my already painted Draigo.

2.       Bike company. The Ravenwing is a solid base, and I have a further 15 bikes (and 2-3 poor condition ones) and 1 attack bike. I have a bit to do with them and want to paint the white on the Ravenwing to yellow so it fits in with my whole chapter colours

3.       Scenery/table. I have got a game board but it is too heavy and was put together in a bit of a hurry. I want to make this up properly and a bit lighter. I also have a lot of scenery to update from my fantasy days of 15 years ago, and some new stuff to build and paint.

So I have a tournament at the beginning of July (probably the last 5^th edition one) and I am taking Draigo and 20 paladins! I have no idea how it will do but I think that the best models GW have ever done are grey knight Terminators (both the 3^rd edition metal and more so the new plastic ones)

So I have built 2 similar squads each with banner, apothecary 2 hammers (waiting for 2 to turn up from bits store) and 2 heavy weapons (one squad with 2 psycannons and one squad with psycannon and psilencer).

Here are some pics of them after I have sprayed them all chainmail

My next stage is to wash them in blue in (already done just no pictures) then highlight in chainmail and mithril silver. The helmets, and some armour plates will be gold and so will the weapon handles. The blades will be blue like Draigos.

That is me for now.

SVA countdown.

The Death Korps have been delayed by a solar storm but will hopefully make an appearance on Pants Painting friday.

In the mean time here's some not very grey Knights.

I wanted an Inquistion army without any power armour in it as I get very bored painting it, I'm a child of the 80's and grow up drybrushing everything so layering and blending are a dark art to me which I can't get the hang of. Old dogs, new tricks ect, ect.

With SVA expaining to a 2k list and I already being tight on time I went for a Purgation Squad with Razorback to fill in the points, I'll replace then with more of the Krieg boys in the future.

Darth Dread

Here's the Dreads sporting scratch built Auto Cannons inspired by Hypa's Mek workshop.

I'll post some WIP pics after the panic that is SVA in the next few weeks.

Tomorrow should see the Death Korps reinforcements arriving...

SVA Project nears completion.

Well with only 4 days left until SVA things are coming together, there's still 5 tanks and my converted Coteaz to go but there's light at the end of the tunnel now.

Here's the Psykers and their Death korps handler. (more of the Korps to follow)

Tomorrow I'll post the Dreads and their Tech...

Sneak Peak The Henchmen

Here's a little teaser for what's to come, and the reason why I haven't posted for weeks.
