GK Paladins WIP - Some finishing touches left.

Hi,

I have been working on those models for some time but I hope to finish them soon. Here you can see what progress I have made from my last post.

Now I need to paint some inscriptions on scrolls and books, finish the apothecary's gauntlet, paint some freehands on shoulder pads and on Justicars scarf and I need to paint the banner. So as you can see there is still much to do.

I hope they look good :D

Some thoughts on Finecast and a progress photo of my Paladins.

Hi,

At last I got my hands on some Finecast models and confront them with that what I heave read about them for past weeks. The first thing I noticed is that the material is light but it feels like rubber and this isn’t good. I showed them to my wife and she told me that it looks like cheap action figure for a kid :P. The good part in those models have better details and this is a good thing but there are many bubbles that you need to fill. Overall I am not impressed but I hope they will work on quality control and then those models will be ok.

As for my terminators I finished golden NMM parts and tomorrow I will paint some red elements.

I hope to finish them soon so stay tuned for more.

P.S.

Loler told me that he will post some progress with his Harlequins this Monday :D.

GK Paladin Squad - working on golden NMM

Hi,

I'm still working on my GK Paladins and this week I have some time to paint so I hope to make some progress with this project.

Today I painted golden NMM on 2 terminators and here you can see how it looks like on one of them.

Golden NMM was made the same colors I used for my Sanguinor but I started from Charadon Granite as base.

Stay tuned for more.

Grey Knights Chapter Master painting tutorial (step by step) - part four

Hi,

Well sorry for delay in my tutorial, but I was unable to find time to paint anything. Due to some problems I've lost pictures from my digi camera. What you see below it's the final prepared model.

Painting tabard
I had three attempts on painting tabard. Below you can see the very last version. I've started with Liche Purple which was shaded with Liche Purple mixed with Chaos Black 3:1. Tabard was highlighted with Warlock Purple, Warlock Purple and Bleached Bone mixture.

Painting power weapon
It was unusuall for me to paint PW in this way. So far I've painted it with regular metallics. This time I've wanted to try something new. Chaos Black and Regal Blue was choosen as a shade, Regal Blue as a base and Ice Blue as the final highlight on the blade. Thin layer of Skull White was applied on the very edges. I know it isn't perfect, but you have to give me a credit - it was my PW ever. ;)

Well, nothing special at all but my small tutorial is finally finished. Hopefully it will not be my last entry on our blog in this month. But looking at my job tasks my painting and hobby time looks very short. Life... such a beautiful thing... ;)

Regards,
Gimiak
