Muskie Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 It's looking good, could be a tough category though. Having a Forgeworld model, I'm not sure that is that big of an advantage actually. It is good you attempted the freehand it looks fine, but yeah, some people are ungodly. I'd like a more detailed account of your gold/brass recipe. I may have to try it.

winterdyne Posted August 12, 2010 Author Share Posted August 12, 2010 The gold's fairly simple, but time consuming - it's basically NMM shading style with metals, so lots of layers. Start by blocking in with scorched brown. Then a 50-50 mix of scorched brown and VMC bronze, leaving edges under recesses. Then pure VMC bronze - first highlight Then 50-50 VMC bronze and VMC old gold - second highlight Then pure VMC old gold - third highlight Then 50-50 VMC old gold and mithril silver for edge highlights Then pure mithril silver for extreme highlights Tone down with glazes of gryphonne sepia towards recesses Deep shade recesses with directed washes of badab black - also do this under the extreme highlights to pop the contrast a little more Finally pin wash with badab black in the deepest recesses.

winterdyne Posted August 17, 2010 Author Share Posted August 17, 2010 Moah progress, slowed a little by some hot weather that's made blending difficult (even with a wet palette). This'll probably be the last update for a couple of weeks as I'm heading down to the inlaws' in Sussex. I'll be taking some stuff down with me, hopefully I'll be bringing this and the Chaplain dread back pretty much finished. :-) Anyway, pics: http://www.winterdyne.co.uk/maz/images/commissions/ultramarines2/ven_dread_wip18.jpg http://www.winterdyne.co.uk/maz/images/commissions/ultramarines2/ven_dread_wip19.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pulse Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Dear god.... that is utterly fantastic, the free hand details are making this dreadnaught pop. The bronzey gold on the model is just fantastic, great work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterdyne Posted September 1, 2010 Author Share Posted September 1, 2010 Got basically nothing done in Sussex, so today I made a push to finish the legs and torso (less some final weathering). http://www.winterdyne.co.uk/maz/images/commissions/ultramarines2/ven_dread_wip20.jpg http://www.winterdyne.co.uk/maz/images/commissions/ultramarines2/ven_dread_wip21.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S. Bloodhowl Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 Holy Emperors Cupcakes that is sweet!!! My only problem with it though is the Blue Carapace on the 'nid, seems to blend in with the model a bit too much for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterdyne Posted September 6, 2010 Author Share Posted September 6, 2010 Aye, it does blend in a bit. I wanted to go with a typical Behemoth scheme for the 'nid - ties in with the Tyrannic War veteran theme I have going. Other little details are things like the wheat ears on the engine block indicating that Vorenus originally hails from Iax... Going back to the 'nid, I'll probably blend some purple ink into the recesses to help it pop some and give the shell an iridescent look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhornateKiller Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 That sir is by far one of the best dreads i've seen :D Just wish i could paint that well, My only critique would be the squares on the weapons as in the black & white cheques personally they dont seem to fit with me sorry man, But the free hand and detail of it is simple immense :D Sir i take my hat off to you ! Good luck at GD :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
