Grey Knights are an elite army to the extreme, with only a few models even in larger points game. This is the starting point for the madness that is my attempt to paint my Grey Knights now for the fourth and (unless a new codex comes out) final time- as since there so elite, why not paint/ convert each and every model? 
What follows is a small tutorial for just the grey sections of the models, with the gold, red, and other details to follow as I finish the models. All of these different mini tutorials will be combined in a final tutorial for a Grey Knight Space Marine frome start to finish.

This isn't really a way to complete Grey Knights at a rapid pace, but rather a way to finish the army slowly, working to ensure that every detail is taken care of, and every surface is shaded and highlighted. Like making any army look great on the table- it'll take time....alot of time. 

Step one- Prime the models black, and complete the bases prior to painting.

Step two- The two models were given an undercoat of watered down Adeptus Battle Grey (Foundation Paint)- try to keep this as an even coat over the entire model. 

Step Three- Wash the now undercoated areas with Badab Black & then add Adeptus Battle Grey where the highlights may start, but wet blend these areas with the shaded areas with the badab black (try to have a gradual color change over the flat surface). 

Step Four- Codex Grey on the high lighted areas again, with blending again shading down to the darker colors. 

Step Five- Fortress Grey on the lightest areas, a bit more shading. At this point the models should have a clear shaded progressions leading from light to dark. If some spots aren't working out as well at this point, try to wash with various degress of Badab Black (as this can actually shade very quickly/ easily- and look very effective). 

Step Six- Skull white along the extreme highlights, and once again shade down to the darker colors. 

Step Seven- The Grey Knights in the Codex: Daemon Hunters shows GK's with some tinted blue mixed in with their army. To follow suite I used watered down Regal Blue in the recesses, which will give the models a blue tint. However, I didn't use a ton of the paint, as less is more in this case (very little will still give that impression/ look of the blue color. 

Step Eight- Any corrections/ fixes that you can spot, but this isn't all that important at the moment, as the rest of the model still has to be completed.
Comparison of the three current PAGK.

Any suggestions/ comments are welcome- and I will try my best to get this done rather "quickly". As always thank you for your time. 

-Cease
