DreadLift Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 So after having enough of Blood angels and managing to avoid the GK band wagon I decided to try Deathwing. I have had a DW army before but I was made an offer and well much to my regret sold the lot. So starting again. Making the plunge with a LR 1st and this time round I am going for a grimy dirty look. I freely admit I am not the best painter around but I do try :) C and C welcome as long as your willing to help with some friendly advice too :) http://i844.photobucket.com/albums/ab3/joenortonjones/IMG_0004.jpg bearing in mind this is very much still WIP. What do you think so far ? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/231176-deathwing-wip/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isiah Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 That's one mean looking DW Raider... keep us posted on other items as you do them :). Nearly forgot to say: some of the weathering looks a little harsh – it might be something you intend to fix, but on paint chips, just a dab of boltgun metal to the centre of the brown patches – it helps to lighten the overall effect. Another method that gives a much more softer and random effect is sponging - (shameless tutorial plug here) - and it is quick to apply. it also demonstrates how to add the boltgun metal as I suggested above.

Bryan Blaire Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Looks like it is coming along great! The battle damage is well done, but it does look a bit extreme. I love the dripping colorations around the bolts/rivets! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/231176-deathwing-wip/#findComment-2780242 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interrogator Stobz Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 If my deathwing let their Holy Landraider get that rusty they'd be sent to 'chamber 42' for some 'corrective' therapy :lol: Great start Dreadlift, can't wait to see it finished Stobz Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/231176-deathwing-wip/#findComment-2780255 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isiah Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 If my deathwing let their Holy Landraider get that rusty they'd be sent to 'chamber 42' for some 'corrective' therapy ;) Aye, or get the techmarines out there with the touch up paint, polish, soapy water and sponges :P Vehicles can be on campaign for a long time - they're bound to get a little rough around the edges. Personally I love the worn look - I'm not a fan of showroom condition 40k ;).

DreadLift Posted June 3, 2011 Author Share Posted June 3, 2011 http://i844.photobucket.com/albums/ab3/joenortonjones/IMG_0004_3.jpg http://i844.photobucket.com/albums/ab3/joenortonjones/IMG_0003_7.jpg http://i844.photobucket.com/albums/ab3/joenortonjones/IMG_0002_6.jpg http://i844.photobucket.com/albums/ab3/joenortonjones/IMG_0001_5.jpg Another couple of hours this afternoon while Dread jr is napping ;) I have continued the weathering to the front of the ramp and the top of the raider. Isiah I have tried the sponge effect on other vehicles, either its because I am so cack handed or I am just not getting it but I am not fond of the technique. As you may be able to see I have softened the ageing / rust around the side door as I agreed with the comments that it was rather heavy. So I dialled that back a bit. I have also done the headlights and started the hatch with the storm blotter attached. So far I am having lots of fun ;) I have also added some blazing orange (watered down 50/50) to the bolt edges to give a more rusted look. These boys are going to look like they are on campaign so no sparkly and clean im afraid. I picked up my 1st box of assault TDA today and I have some scibor resin extras ordered too. Once again C and C always welcome Cheers Dread. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/231176-deathwing-wip/#findComment-2780697 Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreadLift Posted June 4, 2011 Author Share Posted June 4, 2011 http://i844.photobucket.com/albums/ab3/joenortonjones/IMG_0001-1.jpg http://i844.photobucket.com/albums/ab3/joenortonjones/IMG_0004-1.jpg So I was thinking although I was "quite pleased" with the weathering it still made the tank look somewhat static. I dug out my weathering powders and using a technique from IMPERIAL ARMOUR MODEL MASTERCLASS VOLUME ONE, I set about mixing up 2 of the powders with thinners. Then using a knackered old brush and a slot base, I flicked on 2 layers of "mud". I think it looks better now and I will now start on the other side of the tank. I think if I do any more weathering it will start to look over done. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/231176-deathwing-wip/#findComment-2781634 Share on other sites More sharing options...
