Imperial Inquisition: Grey Knights & Co.

[Xzarol]

Hey guys. Thought I would put up some images of my Grey Knights and Imperial Guard, to celebrate the (hopefully) soon upcoming release. I'm very open to constructive criticism on my models, and I'm hoping to get a better camera soon and a nice backdrop to show off some more of the army.

As a quick note, the Vindicare is now gone (undergoing some modeling to become a Callidus), the Land Raider Crusader is now owned by my friend who repainted it and repurposed it as a Space Pup LRC, and both the Inquisitor Lord and Grand Master now have longer hair, thanks to my introduction to Green Stuff.

More pictures to come sometime, I hope! Especially if I get some good feedback to motivate me. I need something to put me in a painting mood. =P

Looks like a good application of the basecoat, nice job.
Well, you're fortunate to have picked a metallic-heavy army as they are the easiest to bump up a notch or two. A blast from the Spice-Weasel so to speak.

I'd apply some ink to provide quick shading and afterwards you can always brighten it up with some drybrushing, which is a quick&easy technique for highlighting.

I'd experiment on a test model to see what kind of shade of ink you'd want to use on your army. Normally for metallics, just brown or black ink can suffice but I personally prefer to add a somewhat different shade to as well to add a little more special sheen to the models. I find that black ink, mixed with a little bit of purple or blue ink works especially well on 'metallic' metallics, and black and a little brown for the gold bits. Both perhaps slightly thinned with some water. (take a look in my Blood Angels land raider thread to see some pics of what I mean)

Agree with meph, some washes on those metallics would work wonders on your models, simple to do too, otherwise you've done well getting the basecoat done
