GooseDaMoose Posted April 7, 2011 Author Share Posted April 7, 2011 @Natanael, Wicced, MagicMan, hushrong and Deus de Mortalis thank you gentlemen! I wasn't sure if the eyes had quite worked, but I'm glad you guys like them! @Mr.Malevolent haha they better be buddy! :( Can't wait. @Brother Melice ah I'm sorry man, I'm doing the best I can, but work is sporadic. I think I will have to, sadly, just finish the models I have (including the Dreadnought) and then call it a day for the 7th Company. Unforunately no update, but I do have this pretty picture: http://i1199.photobucket.com/albums/aa480/GooseElMoose/EMag002.jpg Yay! Ain't it just White Dwarf-alicious!? They're about to bring it to dem fools da Orks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subtlebrush Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Ooooo I like the White Dwarf-esque pic. Oh by the way I have to ask again what is your recipe for the white. Its much along the white I want to attempt on my boys soon. Its dark and gritty and I love it. Mr.Malevolent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GooseDaMoose Posted April 8, 2011 Author Share Posted April 8, 2011 Thanks guys! The white recipe is taken from the White Dwarf Eavy Metal piece on painting Korsarro Khan; actually quite simple: 1) Graveyard Earth basecoat 2) Mix steadily more and more Skull White to make it lighter, though because the white is such a "weak" colour, once you get past about 50/50 Skull White and Graveyard Earth I'd suggest switching to just mixing small amounts of Graveyard Earth in Skull White, cuz otherwise you need A LOT of Skull White to get a suitably light colour from your original batch of Graveyard Earth. 3) Having made sure that the final layer is clearly not pure white (it's amazing how dark a colour you can actually get away with and still call it white!) I highlight the edges of the armour with pure Skull White. If the white doesn't show up well enough, I normally thin out Scorched Brown and wash the armour with it to darken it a bit. 4) Paint small Scorched Brown chips (although I'd use Bestial Brown if I had it I think), focusing especially around the joints of the armour and elbow- and knee pads. 5) To create the trompe l'oeil, as it is called, you highlight the bottom of the chip with pure Skull White Simple, yet it takes me ages to get off my butt and finish my Sons of Malice ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subtlebrush Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Thanks brother. Now I just need to get me some new paint and grab a box or two of some marines and I'll get to work ;) Mr.Malevolent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Melice Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Great to see them boyz on the board, but i have to ask, is that a WD pic?????????????? love the eyes effect, and I am saddened indeed that you're thinking of dropping the 7thco.... but hey, its for the fun of it, it's not a job, well at least not for most of us)))))))) congrats on a great little unit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you like it, C&C welcome! EDIT: Brother Melice, it's not a real WD pic sadly ;) maybe sometime in the future, though I doubt it, they're trying to repress us, the followers of the true God of Chaos, Malal! But don't worry if I finish this I'll still have a fine little force. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightHunters Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Love that Terminator trophy banner, couple o shoulder pads for the bell? Also really like the Latest incarnation of the dreads head, and if I may, where you going with the DCCW? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyaenidae Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Very, very nice Goose, especially since I know what's the story behind this guy, and what colors that Termie is gonna be ;) . The bell is a nice touch too, I'm really looking forward to seeing this monster done. P.S. If you'd like to expose the masses to our little feud story, please feel free brother.... just let me know if you need any assistance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warsmith Aznable Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 That Dreadnought is looking way cool! It definitely does look like there's a story behind it, and those are the best kinds of models. This is another model I'm looking forward to seeing completed, good stuff Goose.

Natanael Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 The dread look fantastic. Only thing is that the connection between the AC and the "arm" seem very weak. Maybe beef it up somehow? - Natanael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortsonfire79 Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Love the dread man. Is the shrine/body himself from 'back in the day'? I agree with Natanael, the connection for the arm looks a bit small. Calls for more wires and pistons! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hushrong Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 The bell is a nice tough and very unique Goose. What chapter colors are you going to paint the victim? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GooseDaMoose Posted April 13, 2011 Author Share Posted April 13, 2011 Thanks for all the comments gents! I love me some feedback! @NightHunters you have quite an eye, those are indeed two shoulder pads for the bell! As for the CCW I am pretty unsure. I always thought weapons which require a bit of finesse like swords or halberds would be absolutely wasted on a Dreadnought as all it can really do is lumber and smash, how is it gonna wield a sword?! I was originally gonna go with the hand-like powerfist, but for some reason I'm kinda considering the little stumpy finger hand.. I don't know why but I really like the way it looks on him, even though I've always hated it. We'll see though. Do you have any cool suggestions? :P @1000heathens no need to keep it from the Great Unwashed on my account, you can post it if you want. I normally like to post a character's fluff background when I've either finished building or painting it/him so it might be a while yet.. @Natanael, Shortsonfire, Dark Apostle Thirst and Wicced I hear you guys (yes, you too Thirst) but I'm still very new to the whole Elbow Pattern Dreadnought shtick so you guys gotta have some patience with me :P I'm working on it as we speak! @hushrong all will be revealed in time mah man :D Thanks again guys! Really inspires me to go on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
