Default Grey Knight test model

I'm doing up a squad of grey knights, mostly for amusement, but I may actually use em. This is the test mode, wanted something differentl. I was going to just paint the justicar heads bone, but I think I like it enough to do all of em like it.

W-O-W!

I love it! More! More!

Seriously, nice job. I like the base too. Is that a resin model? If not, how'd you do it?

I love it, can you describe the steps you use to paint it? I have been looking for a good varient colour scheme for a while, and may want to try that out on a model or two, probably wont be grey knights, but anyways, I love the model.

One thing I would like to say, if only to perfect what is already amazing, Try redoing the i'm guessing bleached bone again and redo the edges with thinner lines of what I'm guessing is skull white...

I love the model as is though!

I used Inyaden Darksun, bleached bone, and skull white. If you don't have Inyaden Darksun, desert yellow will work, but it takes more coats especially on strait black.

As far as the base, I wrote a brief tutorial on how to do it in the modelling forum right here:

I think your color scheme works very well together. Personally I feel the highlights are a bit harsh - however it does work. Well done.

If anything personal taste would be to move to smooth the transition of the base/midtone colors and the extreme highlighting.

Cheers,

Again I really like the scheme but don't like the highlighting on the bone colour areas. You can only really highlight the edges when there are edges there after all.
