Gafgarion Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Nice, it looks like you've got your paint to a good consistency and are confident in laying down colours. If I were to make a suggestion, it would be to build up the lava streams on the base to a bright yellow, at the moment they look a bit like blood. Also don't be afraid to take your time building up layers of colour on power blades, a subtler transition between the purple and red on Vulkan's blade would look fantastic. People are going to point out the obviousness of the storm bolter's barrel being undrilled though. My suggestion (and what I do myself most of the time :X) is that just dot the barrels with a bit of black to give the impression, that goes a long way ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/150424-vulkan-and-dreadnaught/#findComment-1748292 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morte Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Good, neat painting! But as the previous poster mentioned, more layers will help. Don't be afraid to put on layers that are so thin/slight that you think they won't make a difference; believe me, they will. And for special units such as dreads and especially Vulkan, you'll want to. Biggest issue is the blade and shaft of his weapon; the contrast there isn't good, especially if you're trying to convey a power weapon. Also, you could paint/highlight the detail on Vulkan's chest more.

Sons of Horus Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 the dread is alright but vulkan doesn't look primarchy at all. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/150424-vulkan-and-dreadnaught/#findComment-1748458 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morte Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 That's supposed to be a model of Vulkan He'stan, the new Salamanders character, not the primarch. But otherwise, yeah he doesn't look quite special enough. He isn't exactly heavily converted which means he needed a hell of a paint job to stand out as a special character.

Custodian Athiair Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 i myself aint a big fan on the model as a whole but the converting is quite nice but the main thing that sticks for me is that the highlighting on He'Stan is way to thick it's great on the dread but on He'stan it looks to change the colour completly but otherwise great work espiccaly on the dread Athiair :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/150424-vulkan-and-dreadnaught/#findComment-1748484 Share on other sites More sharing options...
