Two more for a combat squad...


Collaborative work between my son and myself. Well, I did the white Grey Knight to the left last year. But over the past 2 weekend my son has painted the two others drybrushing the metal in two stages, and painting in the gold, the basic dark red, and the basecolour for the powerweapons. He also painted the white shield, added a wash to the gold, followed by a drybrush of silver/gold-mix. I helped out with highlights on the red, some lightning effect on the long blade, painting eyes, and detail-work on the white shield. So a lot of help, but certainly also a lot of stuff done by himself. But the best thing was enjoying the process and sensing how proud and happy he was when he had the finished model to move around on the table.

These are his models number 4 and 5. And we still need to do the bases. However, I'll be assembling the remaining two models over the next weeks for the squad to get gaming-ready! Currently the 3 mighty Grey knights are fighting 4th edition High Elves and a half painted Wood Elves Dragon...
