I
am usually modeling airplanes, but this year I have worked mainly abroad
thousand of kilometres away from home. So I was obliged to model something
else, and I took the logical decision to switch to figures due to the
fact that they do not requir a lot of equipment.
It
is a different modeling world and I had to learn a lot in order to be
partially satisfied with my technique. But let me present figure to
you:
Grey
Knights
In
the world of Warhammer 40.000 the Grey Knights are a chapter of Space
Marines. They are a mysterious chapter acting as Demonhunters under the
order of the Inquisition.
The
Legend tells that they were created by the Emperor of Mankind in order to
fight the Chaos. It was gene-seed from eight Space Marines that
resisted the corruption of demons and proved their loyalty to
humanity. All
the eight Space Marines had dormant paranormal skills. It is rumored that
the Grey Knights are the only one who understand the true nature and
secrets of demons and how to defeat them.

Arrus
Arrus
is a Warhammer Metal figure representing a Grey Knight armed with a
power sword and a Psy-canon.
I primed it, and painted it with Citadel acrilyc paints.
No airbrush
was used. Only brushes. I played a lot with the light, some of the skulls
have 4 different shades of the same colour blended together in order to
catch the proper glare and fall of light on to his forms.
Heraldic
sign and the writing on the books were painted freehand.
Several
thin layers of paint and no drybrush was the secret behind painting this
small figurine.
THE
BASE
Used
a small tree bark attached with superglue on the round base. Some sand,
painted and drybrushed (the only place were I used this technique). A
bush, needle and some Warhammer razorwire completed the base.
FINAL
THOUGHTS
I
like it very much. In a certain way it has completely change my view over
modeling and I am sure it will influence all the other models that I will do in
the future.
