50 Shades of Grey

Following are my first attempts at doing some units for my expanding Grey Knights army. In the future I will keep on jumping between different aspects of the Agents of the Imperium to build up a strong Inquisitorial Force comprising of Grey Knights, Deathwatch, Imperial Guard and of course the Inquisition itself 🙂

Another Monster, seems like Echidna and Typhon have been busy….

I have tried to bring my novice airbrush skills to the fore once more, and of course on another monster (I guess I kinda like those ;)). I think slowly am getting the hang of it. This will actually be my stand in for a chimera as I loath the GW one. Although the base is bigger, I put some markers on the base to be able to see the true size for gaming purposes. Mostly using earthen colors again (just like with the previous Manticore) the blending of green and white to represent the three different heads was very enjoyable.

I also tried to give the sting a bit more oomph and used some sickly green colors on it to represent the venom dripping from it.

Perseus would have his merry Problems with this one….

The Bloodwrack Shrine should have been done three months ago already. Well in the end I had to proxy it at the tournament but it wasn`t much of a problem anyway taking the Cauldron in its stead, the two models being so similar anyway. I tried to keep the painting scheme very different to the one from the cauldron to have atleast some sort of variance. Painting the Shrine took longer than I expected but especially the Medusa herself and the Mirror behind her were quite fun 🙂

“This sort of poison can even kill a Mountain….”

After quite a long time of absence (hell real life needs some dedication aswell doesn`t it ;)) I thought I pop in and post not just one but two of my latest painting projects in one fell swoop. You can see my Kharibdyss further below but this bit features my new Dreadlord on Manticore. As I am a huge fan of the Raging Heroes one (and erm less of a fan of the one from GW) I had to get and paint it.

For the color palette I thought using mostly earthen tones and brownish yellows like you see on mountain lions because that Manticore just screams “viscious Mountain Lion” to me. The wings I used my Airbrush for but everything else is hand painted. As much as I like the Manticore itself the less I like the original rider. The head and especially sword just don`t do it for me. Thats why I replaced both with bitz from my collection (both head and sword are from the new DE chariot kit, the shield is from the CoK kit). I hope you like it and with that I wish you a HAPPY NEW YEAR! 😀
