Grey Knights Chapter Master painting tutorial (step by step) - part three
It's time for the third part of my small Grey Knight painting tutorial. Today I wanted to focus on all red elements. After seeing Redavs GK terminator I've decided to go in that color direction with small modifications. I've started with a basecoat of a little bit watered down Mechrite Red foundation paint.
To the base color I've added Regal Blue paint and watered down the mixture. Diligently using glaze technique I've applied my color mixture to shade all red elements.
When the shading process was completed I've started with highlighning. Middle color - Mechrite Red - was galzed with few layers of watered down Blood Red paint. Edges were painted with Blood Red and Skull White (4:1) mixture. The last coat on the very edges were painted with a 1:1 mixture of a Blood Red and Skull White.
Inner section of the Inquisition cross was painted with Scab Red as a base, Blood Red as a middle color and Blazing Orange as a highlight. Using a Fine Detail Brush I've put white strokes inside Inq cross and glaze them with Blood Red.
Yep, now it's started to looking nicer. Tomorrow I'll focus on tabard and purity seals and wires around helmet. If you got any questions, don't hesitate to write them below in comment section.See you tomorrow then around 10 a.m.

Grey Knights Chapter Master painting tutorial (step by step) - part two
Today I'll continue with my small tutorial about 'how to paint a Grey Knights Chapter Master'. This time I'll focus on the gold areas. Hopefully my tutorial will be helpful for you.
I've started with base made of Tin Bitz paint. I wanted that all skulls and ornaments which could be find on this model to be painted gold.
As a next step I've applied a Devlan Mud wash in the recesses.
Next I've started with highlighting applying Shining Gold paint.
In the upper section of each 'gold' element I've applied a thin watered down layer of a Shining Gold and Mithril Silver paints mixture. The last coat was made with pure Mithril Silver applied in the very edges.
So far, so good. Tomorrow I'll focus on areas on which a red paint will be apllied - psycannon, heraldy shield and =][= sign located on the chest. Looking at Redav's post I'll try to emulate his color scheme on my model. I recommend you to visit our blog tomorrow around 10 a.m. to see more.

Grey Knights Chapter Master painting tutorial (step by step) - part one
Today I would like to invite you to my next tutorial of a step by step painting. This time I'll paint from the start to the end a Grey Knights Chapter Master. Choosen miniature is a mixture of new plastic kit and a psycannon from the metal terminators. Everyday I'll show you new painting areas. Today it's the silver elements part.
I begun with undercoating the whole miniature with Chaos Black spray. When the spray dried I've applied a thin layer of Skull White sprayed horizontal.
Next I've applied a little bit watered down a Boltgun Metal paint on the whole armour.
Next a watered down Asurmen Blue wash was applied on the whole armour area.
Next I've applied a Badab Black wash.
After last wash dried and after looking at the first picture from above I've started to highlight areas with watered down Chainmal paint. Mithril Silver paint was than applied on the very edges of silver armour.
And that's it for today. Tomorrow I'll show you how to paint gold elemets - ornaments, shoulder pads etc. So stay tuned for more.
Regards,
Gimiak

Grey Knight Paladins - WIP and some Brother Bethor colors.
Hi.
After finishing my last terminator I started working on 5 GK paladins. I glued them, made some bases and undercoated them. This time I will be painting in NMM so this will be a challenge but I hope it will suit those terminators well.
I promised you to post what colors I have used for my Brother Bethor Terminator so here you have them.
Silver Metalics:
- Boltgun Metal as base,
- then I made a heavy wash with Dabab Black,
- the next step was to correct some places with Boltgun Metal,
- first highlight was made with Chainmail,
- and the final one was made using Mithril Silver.
- then I have done some shading to direct the reflected light and make some contrast and for this I used glazes of: Dabab
Golden Metalics:
- Tin Bitz as base color,
- Dwarven Bronze as first highlight,
- Shining Gold as next highlight,
- at this stage I made a Delvian Mud wash and a Hawk Turquoise wash only in some places,
- next was a highlight with Burnished Gold,
- for final highlights I used Mithril Silver.
Red weapon, shields and seals ware made using:
- Macharite Red as base color,
- for shadows I used a 1:1 mix of Macharite Red and Regal Blue,
- then I highlighted it to Blood Red,
- the next step was a highlight using a 1:1 mix of Bleched Bone and Blood Red,
- at this stage I glazed the last highlight with blood red so it looked as strong and clear Blood Red,
- and the final highlight was made using the same Bleched Bone/Blood Red mix but only on the edges,
The face was painted using:
- Talran Flesh as base,
- then I shaded it with a mix of Talaran Flesh/Blood Red/Regal Blue (1:1:1).
- the first highlight was made using a Talran Flesh/Elf Flesh mix,
- the second highlight was made using a mix of Elf Flesh and Bleched Bone,
- the next highlight was made using Bleched Bone,
- and for the final highlight I used Skull White.
Blue Energy hammer and some other additions ware made using:
- Necron Abyss as base,
- then I highlighted it to Enchanted blue,
- the next highlight was made using a mix of Enchanted Blue and Skull White,
- and the final highlight was made using Skull White.
Paper stuff :
- A mix of Khemri Brown and regal blue (2:1) as base,
- next was a highlight of Khemri Brown,
- the second highlight was Deheb Stone,
- next was a mix of Bleched Bone and Deheb Stone,
- and for the final highlight I used Skull White.
And that is all :D
