The 40k Hobbiest Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 So first I showed you my tactical squad. Then I showed you my captain. Now, check out my dreadnought. Whatcha think? Comments welcome! Also, check out my blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

verpine Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Looks really, really, nice. The lenses look amazing. Could I ask how you did the white? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 40k Hobbiest Posted March 7, 2011 Author Share Posted March 7, 2011 For the helmet, the aquilla, and the Ultramarines symbols, I simply painted them with Fortress Grey, then with Skull White. The Fortress Grey basecoat is most obvious on the aquilla. For things like the purity seals and other pieces of parchment, I started with Besital Brown, then highlighted with Bleached Bone. After that, I did a final highlight of Skull White. Then, I made little markings on them with a fine black archival pen. All parchment is done like that as a rule across the army. Is that helpful?

Ravendove Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 The highlighting on your infantry is really unique. It's that comic-book style feel, I love it. I just wish you'd done the Dreadnought in the same way - while nice, I think there's too much 'Tron' highlighting at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zincite Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Hmm, while I like the rest of your stuff, This just doesn't jump out at me. No idea why... Anywhys, the paint job is great. :woot: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machine God Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 A Really Great Job! Although you should drill out the barrels on the right Auto-Cannon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firepower Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 I'm inclined to agree. While it's not bad by any margin, it doesn't seem to fit with the style you've established in the infantry. The broad, sweeping comic-styled highlights only seem to be present on the gray pipes of the power plant, while the rest is traditional hardlining highlights. Although some of the larger flat surfaces may look kinda strange using the other method, all those curves (shins, head, gun barrells and ammo, torso, etc) should probably balance it out.

Ktan Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Since the first thread of yours I'd seen, I've loved your painting style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomus Sardauk Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 I wonder how he drinks his coffee... Nice model, very crisp lines! With a great deal of difficulty I imagine, given how all his face save the forehead are hidden behind that collar. Forgeworld really screwed up with the design that day...
