Hey Guys, Comments welcome on both the mini and tutorial! Tutorial article linked here http://www.dakkadakka.com/wiki/en/Zenithal_Airbrushing%2C_OSL_and_Snow_and_Ice_Tutorial%2C_subject_-_Grey_Knight I did this piece as a request to btemple0, who kindly provided the mini for this (and a few other bits for my BA ) It was also a testbed for several things I have never done before: Airbrushing in general Zenithal Highlighting Airbrush Power Weapon Effects Bark basing Snow Icicles Airbrushed OSL Now obviously I photshopped him out of the backgrounds to put him on the smokey one, other than that and typical levels fixes etc, he is untouched but for one thing... I missed a mold line on the inner right forearm, I photoshopped it out lol.

I bought an airbrush kit because of this model and the article on dakkadakka. For the time you put into this the work is beyond amazing. I have since painted up a squad of grey knights with zenithial airbrushing and I'm planning to add OSL once I get better with the airbrush -- you make this look easy. I give it a solid 8 on painting alone but a 9 because of how little time it took you to get there. I want to give a 10 because of how helpful the article is but that's not the point of this voting system imo. E-X-C-E-L-L-E-N-T work. Keep it up.

I don't normally even stop to look at 40k models but the fact that someone gave a 1 for airbrushing made me stop to look. Top notch work, love the blade on the weapon!!

@roninjr - Absolutely correct. I have yet to take a pic that is just right in my career though, always a little too dark, light or washed out. I have also had little luck with muslin backgrounds lol. This is why I clip them out to put on new backgrounds, not so much to do extra work, but to just make it so crappy backgrounds don't ruin the impression lol! Other than that, it looks precisely as it does IRL, you can see this in the linked WIP shots. I really, really need to get myself sorted out for pics though, I have been trying all kinds of tutorials etc to get good quality, yet none of it works very well as of yet :(
