Editing Warhammer 40,000/9th Edition Tactics/Grey Knights (section)

==Painting==

So, you want to start a force of Space Paladins or paint the one gathering dust at your shelves? Even though there are inferior to pretty much every other force in the game right know? Mad bastard, I like that.
The core principles of painting Grey Knights are quite handily described by [[Duncan_Rhodes|our Lord and Savior]] in two tutorials:

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NllQYe4S4_g This one where he paints the iconic steel armor] (you can use a simpler scheme shown in Citadel app, but speaking from experience, this one is better);

and [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7e4_-oRMtI the other with Nemesis Force Weapons]. Those require a little practice if you're new to mixing paints and stuff, so best to practice on spare weapons you'll surely have after assembling a box of Knights. 

You'll also need to paint a lot of gold, parchments/purity seals and personal heraldry (usually black, red and white) for this army, and Citadel App has your back on those ones. The only thing to beware is the white color: while GW's metallic and blue paints are quite decent (and surely among the best they do), their white ones are notoriously shitty, so better find an analogue, ''especially'' if you're working with Purifiers. 

For the gold details Vallejo's Liquid Gold paint looks really nice. The only downside is that is diluted with alcohol, so, not your typically water based acrylics. Is not super hard to use, but try to step up your painting game before if you are a noob.

All in all, Grey Knights are relatively easy to paint to look great even with basic skills, especially if you have the means to undercoat them with steel (via aerography or GW's Leadbelcher primer/simulacrum). Not promising you "best paint" award on every event you'd venture on or anything, but surely not a bunch of minis to be ashamed of.
