Best advice I can give you from my own experience figuring out this style is the following: Take a good look at Blanche's artwork (the messier variety, basically coloured concept sketches) and think about how you might replicate that on a miniature. What is it that makes it recognisable as Blanche? And let go of the crippling fear that you'll screw up.

Highly tansparent layers of browns, black, orange, yellow. Painted in chaotic, blotchy manner. When it all becomes too dark, splash some off white on the raised areas and proceed. The underlying surface has a grainy texture done with liquid green stuff, which helps pigment stick to it in a different manner than when it's smooth, so you get this painterly finish. In the end, some white edge highllights for definition. And fine light and dark drops are splattered ofer the model. This is common on Blanche coloured sketches, and it does wonders for an atmospheric feel of a model. I was astounded the first time I did it. <br /><br />I hope this helps, bare words are not the best way of carrying across the process...Ana Polanscakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00475924332253440189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7579010104915193980.post-72969172375194951442018-10-12T18:55:53.613+02:002018-10-12T18:55:53.613+02:00I like him.

His ramshackle appearance in comparison to the standard GW sculpts is far more appropriate to the setting I think than the clean tiny-marine sculpts of yesteryear.

I sometimes forget how much the shoulder pads dominate the appearance of Space Marines. Looks like you made the backpack more compact as well?<br /><br />I've always liked that head, too. Reminds me of some of the more close-fitting arming caps I've seen, makes a great visual connection between the Grey Knights and medieval knights.<br /><br />No Storm Bolter? It always seemed just as much a part of the GK archetype as their swords and halberds.<br /><br />They do fit together really well as a trio.

I like that head a lot (it reminds me of one of the squires from Monty Python and the Holy Grail).<br /><br />As for the lore, no offence intended but it's that level of cannon which puts me off the space marines.

There are exceptions, such as Blackshields, exiles, those under a debt of honour to a particular individual (Lexandro D'Arquebus), those under command from their chapter master for duties outside the norm and those chapters turned renegade (Relictors), but the Grey Knights are bound to a stricter duty than any other chapter for they are the last line of defence the Imperium has against The Enemy Beyond.<br /><br /><br /><br />Is it beyond the laws of possibility for a Grey Knight to be in the retinue of an Inquisitor? Certainly not, but it wouldn't be at the command of the Inquisitor and more likely the result of some ongoing quest or honour-bound duty/oath or, perhaps more far-fetched, an agreement reached between the Inquisitor and the Chapter Master of Titan. <br />Gretchinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04749813427652886687noreply@blogger.com
