ntgcleaner Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 So, this is my very first mech-type unit. I had (at the time) only painted one group of PAGK's and an inquisitor as my very first paint jobs (pics to come). I am especially proud of the base of this model. I tried to paint it to look like "The Giants Cuaseway" (Here) in Ireland because the stones almost look that way, plus I saw it to be pretty fitting with it being a dreadnaught and all. All in all, its a pretty simple paint scheme, lots of boltgun metal and some hints of red, gold and white. I did not put a heavy wash on it and I did not clear coat it yet. I want to get all of my army up to the standard "3-foot" rule, then go back and make some corrections. I don't think any pieces should be "Finished". Unless you are an amazing paint, as I have seen so many times on this forum. This is the front. I am not too happy with how the red turned out.. It is a bit bright for my taste. I didn't know how to do skulls yet and YES, I know the smoke launcher is on backwards. That has been fixed. (I'm a nub) http://inlinethumb38.webshots.com/16933/2248490190068943964S500x500Q85.jpg I like the back here, simple, mechy looking. http://inlinethumb18.webshots.com/44369/2484044810068943964S500x500Q85.jpg Aaaand its right side. Not too happy about the Lascannon... http://inlinethumb38.webshots.com/44389/2516834230068943964S500x500Q85.jpg So... There's my very first mech. C&C always welcome. I think I should stick more to the graphic design work (which is what I do) than to painting, although I do have fun doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CosmicCreations Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 haha I quite like the smoke launcher looking backwards...gives him a sort of funky hair-do :P Its very good for your first dread, for the red, give it a wash of very watered down chaos black, or badab black ink, and then highlight the edges see how that turns out :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntgcleaner Posted November 10, 2009 Author Share Posted November 10, 2009 I will do that tonight! Thank you for the advice. I'll post some others that I have soon... I think my recent ones turned out a lot better! especially one of my inquisitors and my callidous assassin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cypher 102 Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 I would advise a brown wash over red instead of black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
