WIP Moriar the Chosen, Death Company Dread

Recommended Posts

Little more on my custom Moriar! I thought his arms were a little plain, so added some of the new DC wong pieces to the shoulder area and continued with a little more painting. Cleaned up the freehand on his tabbard between the legs. More to come soon.

 

PICS! Please excuse the quality...still just using my phone cam.

:tu:

 

still love the dread m8 :o the paintjob and added bling makes him look so....jummy :P

It´s not just you, I haven´t got to highlighting the black yet. That is still the primer colour really. I´m saving the black highlight till last, but that you ^_^

 

I may go for a more blue colour highlight than flat grey. Ala legion of the damned

Thats funny I usually do the main colour first to get it out of the way! Try the blue high, have a look on cmon for inspiration a lot of the 'pros' seem to do this and can give a deep black if done correctly.

 

Looking good btw :lol:

Ok, this doesn't appear to be much of an update but there is a small progression and some better pics. What I have done since last updates was I have covered all the black areas in a 1:1 mix of chaos black and regal blue...

 

So if you look closely, you will see an extremely slight blue tint to the armour. This was taken from the recent Legion of the Damned master class in white dward...I think it will look ace on this if i get it right. Also worked on the banner, mainly the skull, bringing the highlights to bleached bone and also the red crosses on the armour have a very subtle orange/red highlight. If it is painted on the armour it won't have such a sharp highlight relalistically.

 

Anyway, pictures:

Finally the highlighting has begun on this long going project! Normally one model wouldn't take so long, but around so many other commitments it has been a bit of a long haul. He is still not finished... Need to finish highlighting him really, and tone down any parts I was a little over zealous on...and finish the banner. Here are the pics:

I so hope either GW or FW people are checking this thread out and using your build, together with bits and all, as a source for inspiration in what a possible plastic Furioso kit could look like! Great job.

 

PS. Who else is really hoping for a plastic Furioso box and/or an upgrade sprue to go with the normal Dread one?

Cheers Snorri! I am really chuffed with how he is looking up to now. Just a few more little details and highlights and the banner and he'll be good to go. Girlfriend has also advised me to re do the name plate on his sarcoughagus since the font isn't fancy enough! Hopefully the final details and such will really make him just POP and I'll get some good pics with a forgiving background up to show him off.

 

Then I'll maybe finish those dang vets!

After looking at this model for so long and after getting better at painting i have made a couple of changes... I have no decent pics as of yet but at the weekend i continued with highlights and I have started a lot of the cables again...They were pretty nasty looking up close. So I have gone back over them in black and going to make them a bit darker...Probably the last highlight will be shadow grey. They won't stand out too much then I hope. Also working on the front name scroll again... Still thinking of ideas for the banner and will probably re do the wax of the purirty seals...

 

I am looking at a better cam on Ebay so hopefully get some good pics up soon. He is actually glued to his legs now tho...I won't be so anal about the clean up of areas i can't even see then! Hopefully have this finished before the month is out and there is a slew of new Furioso Dreads!

You - have - to - finish - him!! :D

 

...because then you can make his brother when the new Dread box drops :)

 

I know dude! I have ordered a lamp on Wednesday in hope of getting it today to set up a bit of a paint station. Should keep me painting more often and in a more consistent light...I am really going to focus on this now because I really want to finish it. It's been going on for too long now haha but that is down to me being massively anal and only painting when it is good a sunny. It really does wonders for the painting details but living in England I can't afford to wait for those oh so rare days now...Not If I want to ever finish a model :D

 

I also want to have him of on here and cool mini before the new kits start flooding the boards hehe. But I am really looking forward to the new Dreads...LOVE some of the new bits of the kit so I will definately be doing another couple of dreads once I finish this one and my vets.

Ok guys, FINALLy have an update on this...I got sick of only painting when the sun was feeling generous so I bought a daylight style lamp and focused myself on really getting some of this nailed today...And that I did! From the last updates I have worked on some of the highlights...Really that is all I have left to do.

 

I worked up the skulls on the more definate edges and also the wing motifs up to pure white. I also re pained the scrool on his sarcoughagus ready for the script work. This was done with a stone base, washes of mud and baal, then works up with various mixes of stone and bone, up to pure white.

I also worked on the banner. Including the skull, again up to the defining edges in white, the highest folds were highlighted from black to very dark grey, and the red parts were glazed in the deeper folds with a dark red mix of scab, mechrite and a dab on black. The higher folds were glazed with mixes of mechrite and blood reds, with touched of khaki added.

And...hmm, oh yeah the purity seals, wax parts were about scab red before today, highlighted up to blood, the blazing orange, then a mix of orange and white. And the final mix I used on the lowest bits of any red gems on the model...

Phew...More done today than I expected. Tomorrow I hope to get into the final highlights of all of the gold and silver areas and also the 'fingers' and guns on his arms.

Man is that fantastic looking. Honestly I would be happy if I could get mine to a stage where they look like this, and you still consider this to be a wip. Absolutely amzing man.

 

Thanks a lot :o Really truth be told I could call him done now...But I am my own worst critic and it keeps me finding mistakes and things I can improve...I have a friend who always taks the proverbial urine out of me for it...But he plays Crimson Fists, so it's not his fault XD
