After spending months painting three SCE for a Nightvault warband (you can find out about them here) and before I spend three months painting a single miniature for my first competition (you can’t read about that yet because I haven’t started) I’ve bagged a whole game in the space of a few weeks.
My Grey Knights Kill Team is finished (except the bases, I’ll finish them at the weekend maybe) and I’m pretty pleased with them. Things I like:
- The armour. The steel is shiney with a blue tint. That came with some patience and some really good paint product (esp. Vallejo Metal Color). You can find the guide to the armour here.
- The Power Weapons. These really pop. I didn’t do a step by step guide for these but I used the technique of the awesome Sam Lenz -Youtube ‘Sam Lenz Power Weapons,’ and I’m sure you’ll find it.
Things I’d change:
- The scrolls could be better (these were just flesh tone with a white highlight) if I took more time
- Again, with more time, the shoulder pads could be neater (possibly) but I don’t hate them. You can find out how I did them here.
So with these boys done (actually I have two Kill Teams from one Strike Squad box) I really do think this is a great way to get into tabletop wargaming. I’m actually planning on using Kill team as a way of getting my hands on more models for quick projects. Next up…Not sure – I’ll get back to you!
