GETTING STARTED WITH THE DAEMONHUNTERS - PAINTING YOUR GREY KNIGHTS
Page: 1|2|3|4|5|6|7
Once your models have an undercoat, painting can begin. Below you will
find a simple-but-effective colour scheme using only eight colours. Follow
the detailed instructions and check out the stage-by-stage images as you
paint your model for reference. Don't fret if the model doesn't come out
picture perfect in the end, painting takes time and practice to master.
Just do the best you can each time and be open to learning new techniques
from others. Before you know it, you'll be quite an accomplished painter
with models you'll be proud to game with!

There
are two ways you could go about this basecoat. You could simply use
Boltgun Metal Spray Paint over Chaos Black Primer, or you can hand
paint all the armour with Boltgun Metal. We chose the later method
as it offers you a bit more control, but using spray paint is certainly
a bit faster! Whichever method you choose, paint the power armour
Boltgun Metal. Clean your water before proceeding!

Heavily
water down some Blue Ink and apply this mix to recessed areas and
edges of the armour. Use common sense here and don't go overboard;
you are only trying to achieve a hint of blue throughout the armour.
Next, paint all the purity seals and the right shoulder pad Scab Red.

Carefully paint Brazen Brass onto the embedded text
of the power armour. Also use this colour on the backpack, shoulder
pad, and selective gun parts. This colour goes over Chaos Black much
better than an undercoating of Boltgun Metal. Use Boltgun Metal to
clean up any stray Blue Ink from the previous step and tighten up
the bluish metal effect. Clean your water before proceeding!

Paint the purity seal parchments Dark Flesh along with
any ammo pouches. Carefully highlight the edges of the Brazen Brass
areas with Shining Gold. Heavily water down Chestnut Ink and selectively
ink the Brazen Brass areas. Be smart about where you ink. Think about
where it will pool up for the best effect. Next, highlight the edges
of the power armour with some Chainmail. Use a Codex Grey and Chaos
Black mix to briefly highlight the edges of any Chaos Black areas
like the backpack. Once again, change your water before proceeding.

Finish your Grey Knight by highlighting any Scab Red
areas with a bit of Blood Red. Paint the purity seal parchments with
Kommando Khaki. Once this dries, carefully draw thin scribblings onto
the parchments to represent text. Finally, scrawl the brave Grey Knight's
name onto the right shoulder pad. Your model is now ready to face
the perils of the Warp!
