Thank you very much for the answer I will soon prepare this army that I find beautiful
What's the problem with the Army Primer Spray? I ask because I literally just bought some to paint my first army =o hopefully I can avoid making a mistake
The hero We needed .
Cool, except a lot of these are now sold out lmao...
Don't worry, I go through a bottle of whiskey per week too. Helps keep the hands steady when painting fine details on my knights. Thank you for this video, I made beautiful grey knights following your instructions. My friends were so impressed with my paint job they couldn't believe I've never done it before. I am no artist, but I felt like one while painting my army.
This channel is making it much harder to pick between a custodes or grey knight army. Grey knights are really growing on me
I had the same issue but I've settled on Grey Knights!
Update: just picked up my first strike squad and the new codex :)
Exactly the same. Went with Grey Knights. Golden boys seemed a bit too fancy to me in the end
*why not both*
Just jumped into grey knights myself for 10th ed, Rule of Cool made the decision for me haha
Holy shit. Followed this by the “T” and I love my grey knights. Thanks so much.
That's awesome to hear!
Hemingway over here finished off the whiskey.
I swear by watching you videos you’ve turned me into a huge great knight fan
What a fantastic typo.
Love your content. As a new player (chosing Grey Knights as my first army) I've really enjoyed it. This painting method (and its finished product) is more appealing than most guides I've seen. Thank you.
It's also fairly easy, which is fantastic for a lazy painter like myself.
I just started my own grey knight army., a year later this video is just as useful and has my grey knights looking spectacular
Recently got into Grey Knights (in great part thanks to this channel), and hands down this is the best tutorial for painting Grey Knights I have seen. I currently have 800pts of Knights, armor painted and am wrapping up details on Paladins using it...
That's so cool to hear.
ive just started to collect grey knights ..so will be a good tuturial
Finally! Someone that approaches painting like I do!!! Love a good 'heavy drybrush'. My new thousand sons reinforcements came with these funny loyal guys too... Gotta pick up a few paints and will definitely be using these techniques
This is so much cooler than the games workshop colour scheme! Thanks for the tutorial, just what I needed!
I love grey knights and this video helps a lot when painting them, so cheers
This is a sweet guide! New to this hobby and this guide in particular gave me the nuts enough to grab a set of these guys and go to town. Wish me luck!
Hey OLB I just got into Grey Knights myself after taking a break from the hobby for years, your videos are informative, helpful, and very entertaining! I look forward to staying subscribed for years to come!
Really glad to hear it!
Wow this is a really easy method for a new painter like myself. Will try this method!
Great video Brother! you gave me a lot of advice on my gray knight's purchases and the drybrush base techniques will come in handy. Much love!
I'm so glad you enjoyed!
Im almost ready to start painting my grey knights. I've been practicing my painting on necrons and bloodletters, im sure going from demons to demon slayer will definitely be different but thats why I keep this video saved :)
Really nice recipe, I shall have to try that this weekend! Also order more whiskey.
Uisce beatha is the greatest invention in the history of mankind.
Great video! Just starting painting my grey knights so it's a great help! Love the scroll work great idea!
I'm a new grey knight player and thanks for showing me another way to paint grey knights
Nice painting mate, I really like the unique half & half shoulder pad idea 😊
Sterling work sir, love the quality of the armour you’ve managed to bring out - definitely prefer it to the blue toned scheme by GW.
Thank you!
Dandy fine work!
Just stumbled upon this channel. Wow! These videos are so great. Love the paint scheme
Thanks so much!
I'm definitely going to use this color steel for my adepta sororitas
Dam... turned up awesome !!!!
Oh if only I could do my whole army this well and quick :)
Thanks for the video! Just started to look around this n decided to check on grey knights, will look into it
Thanks for this! I've been watching your content for a few weeks and just ordered my first grey knight bits. It's fair to say you inspired me to take the jump with this faction! Looking forward to starting the hobby side.
That’s awesome! Glad to hear!
Love this channel! Looking forward to put together my GK army I had laying about since many years. Thanks for helping me with the list ⚔️⚔️📜
Looks great! Might start some Grey Knights, waiting to see what their new codex looks like first.
Someday...
THIS IS SO USEFUL WHEN I'M PAINTING 10 GREY KNIGHTS!!!!!!
Fist off, they look great! Secondly how the heck did I not think of PENS to write on the books?! Thanks for the video from a beginner Grey Knight!
I HAVE THAT SAME CAPTAIN AMERICA CUP!!!
Your the best bud! Ty for making this project less daunting. Love the GK. Plan on playing tourneys. Would like to pick your brain on army list.
Yeah, lay it on me! I'd be happy to help.
@@onelastblade3913 hey there. Sorry i didnt expect a reply yesterday lol. Okay here it is 10x paladins 5 staves 5 halbred. 10x terminators 2 psy cannons 10halbred. 5x terminators hammers and 1 psy cannon. 5x strikers to fill battalion req and possibly hold a starting objective (had to justify putting em in). 5x interceptors. Voldus. Librarian. Chaplain. 1x dreadknight. Also have you thought of throwing the sanctic shard on voldus and the matrix on tour librarian? Use an easy psy first then pop empyric surge for 3 psy cast at 3+with reroll and 4+ once a turn at min cost.
I just got kaldor, can’t wait to paint it
Verbatim the process I take as well, love my grim dark knights. I actually have taken to using regular Krylon primer for my models, it's a very matte base that makes the metal look of the leadbelcher just look so real and makes the later shading a synch
I never knew I could use pencil for highlighting.. gonna try that next time I paint.
I goofed. Got my first grey knights, strike squad, I built the first 3 models before realizing the guns totally block the chest plates. Glad I caught it early but damn, those two are going to be rough looking.
I make that mistake all of the time.
This is great! Im totally using this.
Thanks for sharing! Sub’d
Nice video , I am planning to buy and paint greyknight troop for my cousin(to fight my thousand sons)
Why I laughed at the korne red thing is beyond me but it did 😂
So the secret is whiskey! Whiskey amd demon fury!
Loved this Channel for his Grey Knight focus. But Khorne Red on Grey Knight is too much for my little heart. :(
Keep up the great work.
If there were another muted dark red, I'd take it in a heartbeat...
@@onelastblade3913 hit it on the head with a Thunder Hammer, brother. Khorne Red or maybe Gal Vorbak Red with just a touch of white.
at 8:00-8:26 I can relate to so much ahaha 2 fingers of whiskey turns into 3 then into 4 and boom drank more then you thought ahahah especially when you enjoying your hobbies with a nice whiskey.
amazing paint scheme. especially love the pencil part
Would love to see some of your Sons of Titan, Jozef!
@@onelastblade3913 uploaded my work to istagram today. if you'd like, you can see it on @jozkokanec.
don't expect too much, though, I started with this hobby with the 9th edition and these are my very first models ;)
@@jozefbucany2310 Dude, those look great! I love the basing and your use of metallics!
great work!
Thank you! Cheers!
Can't wait to start painting my grey knights, thanks for the vid. Can you do one for world eaters too?
I’m actually going to be starting a Word Bearers army for Horus Heresy!
Oh wait that’s not what you asked for
@@onelastblade3913 Word bearers are great too haha. I'm gonna be playing sons of horus for the new stuff coming out
You might have missed a few mold lines. Other than that, liking the tutorial. I love Grey Knights!
Just found this video when I started painting my Dreadknight
Thank you dude!! I’m just getting back into the hobby and I bought all the paints in your video to try and paint my new grey knights army, without this video I would have really struggled to get going!
That's awesome! I'm really excited to see how your Grey Knights end up looking! Once you've got one painted, send a picture to me on instagram! @one.last.blade
@@onelastblade3913 sure thing dude! There coming on Wednesday and I’m gonna dive straight in, might have to swap the usual coffee ☕️ for a glass of wine or a whiskey 🥃 get these shaky hands stabilised
@@onelastblade3913 please do a tutorial for the force blades with the plasma blue effect! Yours look amazing and I’m sure people would really appreciate it 👍
Very good
Succinct, I appreciate it!
Im glad there others like me who dont like that blue tinge GW usually has on their grey knights, this has a much more gritty look 👍👍👍👍
I am primed, all armor done and shaded to this same style of metallic. I am using Vellejo Game/Model color, did a dry brush/buffing working my way up multiple metals, I actually started at a base bronze and went all the way up to mithril silver which was super easy, just took a bit of time to get the slightly rusted battle worn veterans of multiple wars against the horrors the warp can throw at these dudes! Just the detail work which I will start tomorow, hopefully I get a similar look, only maybe a tad rustier.
Ohhhhh btw forgot to mention, this is my first model I have painted since 2002 haha 😃👍
Nicely done!
@@onelastblade3913 we shall see when i tackle the detail work first thing in the am 👍
Gw aledges that Balthasar gold is a base paint, but that nonsense feels like a layer.
Feel you on the inconsistency of Army Painter sprays, but I love their shades
I've never used their shades! What would you recommend as an Agrax alternative?
I love these! The "normal" blueish look is just too bright for my taste, I want my grimdark demon hunting knights to look a bit grittier and darker, perhaps even worn. Not like they just got a shine and a fresh coat of wax at least.
Your paint job is actually better than the models on Games Workshop lmao
Wow, that is an incredible compliment!
Beautifull
Thank you!
Love these videos, thank you so much. Quick question. I see you use your models on the tabletop a lot. Do you varnish your models? Which varnish do you like to use for your GKs? And can we get a tutorial on how you did the hammer? It looks great!
I use Tamiya Color's matte varnish spray!
I recently noticed, might it be that your Grey Knights got Showcased by Spikey Bits?
Ha. Uh, yeah. Sort of. They took a bunch of pictures of my Grey Knights at LVO last year. I wasn't made aware until I stumbled upon that article myself.
Hello! Thanks for this video, it is absolutely the best video by far we have in RUclips about grey knight paint. I just have one question, I’m think in apply a purple wash better than the blue one, what do you think? It’s just to link it with daemon and magic powers, do you think make sense the purple wash or better the blue one?
I am starting to like your scheme more than my own. My one is grey knight steel with guilliman blue glaze over the top. Of course, gw doesn't do guilliman glaze anymore which is unfortunate
God, Guilliman Glaze was such a great paint. Have you checked out Contrast Tallasar Blue? It's pretty close.
@@onelastblade3913 I do have tallasar blue. Biggest concern is that it is too thick and will go from accentuating the grey knights steel blue tint to just making them blue
3:02 you might want to try space wolves grey contrast paint.
For painting space wolves it’s dog (wolf) shit, but for doing that darker blue grey color it’s fantastic.
Question, are you still using Drakenhof now that GW has messed with the formula? Cuz some of the newer shades I've got from them don't seem to work the same way they used to.
I am! I wasn't aware they switched up the formula. I'll pay more attention with the next Grey Knight I paint.
1:28 why?!?!
I just bought a can of army painter white primer. Not for my grey knights but other propuses.
Why do you avoid them?
Loved the way you paint your GKs.
If I wanted to do more of a blue-ish steel theme with the same steps you used here which step should I change up or add? I have some Tyran Blue Shade. Also just wanted to say I just got into Warhammer 40k and I've really appreciated all of the grey knights content you've made!
Why do you recommend against Army Painter Black? I just picked up a can but haven't used it yet
I haven't ever used it without it covering my models in tiny bumps.
First of all love the color scheme. I really love the blue on the weapon so I was wondering what colors you used for that effect. And is that the same color you used on the base? Thanks I can't wait to start painting some of my minis now.
Lothern Blue! I use it all the time. Thanks for watching!
What glue do you recommend? Also, am I correct in saying you can pose them however you think looks cool and with whatever weapon? I remember you saying you grouped your terminator squad with the same weapons for simplified rolling...
I use Model Master Liquid Cement. It has served me well over the years.
Technically, in Warhammer 40,000 every model is equipped with whatever you have modeled him with.So this guy here has a Nemesis Daemon Hammer and a storm bolter. Each weapon has different stats, though. When you are rolling for a unit's attacks, it is typical for people to roll all of their attacks at once. If a squad of five guys all have Nemesis Force Swords, I can just scoop up a handful of dice and roll all of their attacks at once. If they have a mix of weapons, I have to roll for the swords, then the halberds, then the hammers, then the warding staves, and it just makes the whole thing take a lot longer.
@@onelastblade3913 Thank you. I appreciate the response 👍
Where'd you get your Land Raider? As a fairly new player, I've not been able to find a Land Raider with Grey Knights/Inquisition styling. Also, what's the issue with Army Painter sprays?
The Land Raider is the Banisher from Forge World! Unsure if they still sell it.
Army Painter sprays tend to be coat a model in a fuzz or rough texture. I really don't like it.
Very nice! Where did this figure come from, please? I'd like to make one just like this!
I watched this whole video to see how you do the hammer and wommmmp
Oh no, haha. Sorry! If it helps at all, this is the video I use! ruclips.net/video/CWr8-q5TnqQ/видео.html
Hi! Love how your grey knights look! Any alternative paint schemes you'd suggest?
I've seen some people do green armored Grey Knights, and I really like how it turns out. There's also a guy on instagram (who I can't remember the name of) who did white pauldrons and helmets on all of his paladins. It looks great!
As to your first question, I'm not really into Kill Team. my group and I tried it a couple years ago and it just didn't flow for us. We're into the smaller 40k games lately, though!
"Clean off all the mold lines." *Eye Twitch at all the mold lines* lol
Clean off *most of the mold lines. There are a lot!
When you say iron warriors for “pistons” on which bits of the grey knight terminator model do you mean/does that apply to, please?
Specifically I was talking about the Dreadknight bits, but also for the non-armor metals of a regular Grey Knight-mostly the storm bolter casing.
@@onelastblade3913 big thanks x
Just wondering when you paint the vehicles do you wash them completely in drakenhof nightshade or just recess shade them ?
Good question! I only do the recesses. Vehicles are a whole different ballgame, as far as shading goes. I should do a video on that.
@@onelastblade3913 Thank you for the reply 😊 Great channel by the way I find your videos very informative and interesting 👍
In the table top game, can I make the grey knights fight the ultra marines?
Are certain color schemes required, like could you replace the red with blue or something.
It's atypical to switch that stuff around with Grey Knights, but you can absolutely paint them as you wish. Can always create some lore justification for why they are blue rather than red.
@@onelastblade3913 thanks :)
Hey OLB, is any kind of base tutorial planned?
No, but that's a good idea! I'll write it down.
Do you usually magnetize your GKs?
I don't. I personally see it as a huge hassle and not worth the work, but I also don't care too much about competitive or meta configurations.
Which paint is used for the tiny dot in the eye? Oh so important of course
Ceramite White!
@@onelastblade3913 thank you! Great videos as always
Hey man am I able to skip the black? I have already primed everything with Leadbelcher and would just do the rest of the steps you did. I don't mind missing a few black details.
Leadbelcher spray is certainly an option, but the black undercoat really delivers this darker look that I prefer. Without it, the Leadbelcher is very bright.
@@onelastblade3913 tyvm, I will test both and decide then!
What’s wrong with army spray paints, I used a metal looking one and I thought my grey knight looked pretty good
hello Thanks for your video. can you give me the colors to use for the GKs. thank you for your reply
Check out the pinned comment at the top!
Is there a mask required to apply the primer?
I always do, just in case. Make sure you spray in a ventilated area!
What's wrong with army painter primer? I just bought it
Im sorry but huh? How thick was that primer layer? Poor justicar just doubled his weight on primer alone
The hardest part in this tutorial is having a wife, can I skip this step?
What would you use for master voldus’ face?
Painting faces is a whole separate discipline, one that I have not yet mastered. Some day when I'm confident enough I'll do a face painting tutorial.
@@onelastblade3913 imma wait for that and congratulations btw on waystone!
What do you have against Army Painter?!?! It's all I use!
I love their individual paints, but every spray of theirs that I use covers my miniatures in tiny little bumps. It's possible that Army Painter sprays are more delicate, and that the moist PNW air makes them react that way, but they haven't worked for me.
I have not had issues with Army Painter primers however, I live in the coastal desert of southern California, so that probably makes the difference. Great paint scheme, I love it!!
How did you do the hammer?
is that front plate for the dreadnaught sarcophagus still available somewhere?
It is not! It's an old Forge World dreadnought chassis. I paid too much for it on eBay.
@@onelastblade3913 such a shame. but funny how an in game and in lore relic is actually turning in to a real life relic. xD
How do you draw out the barrels
Buy yourself a pin vice! A solid and cheap investment.
Whats the white called and the reds?
I use Ulthuan Grey for my white, and Khorne Red for most of my reds.
How do you base your grey knights?
Good question! Very simply. I slather the base in Astrogranite, drybrush on some Lothern Blue in a couple places, and then glue on a little bit of gravel.
why specifically do you avoid army painter primers?
They’re very temperamental. Unless conditions are just right (humidity, temperature, etc), TAP sprays leave little bumps all over the models, or they go on either too thick or not thick enough.
@@onelastblade3913 oh wow kinda regret buying 2 cans of it bow. Rip
nothing wrong with army painter stuff
I got stuck on a step, I don't have a wife to call me an alcoholic, I am, I don't have a wife, what can I do?
First of great guide the mini look great, did you get around to a guide for the hammer? Could find one on your page. For the emperor!!
I haven't! But google "Thunder Hammer Painting Guide" by Miniature_surgeon.
the mould lines hurt my feelings
