Dam13n Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Well got another local painting comp coming - Best Monster/Vehicle... Left over from the Pre-heresy Emperor's Children Dread I did recently I had enough stuff for a Kit-bash Furioso and here it is... http://i352.photobucket.com/albums/r358/MatthewDaunt/WordBearersDreadnought01.jpg http://i352.photobucket.com/albums/r358/MatthewDaunt/WordBearersDreadnought08.jpg http://i352.photobucket.com/albums/r358/MatthewDaunt/WordBearersDreadnought07.jpg http://i352.photobucket.com/albums/r358/MatthewDaunt/WordBearersDreadnought09.jpg http://i352.photobucket.com/albums/r358/MatthewDaunt/WordBearersDreadnought06.jpg Comments and Criticisms Wecome, after all still have a week left to make some alterations if needed (hint, hint...)

winterdyne Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 The horizon on a cylinder follows its length. For your NMM, your reflection 'horizon' should be on the divide between an up-surface and a down-surface. Some thick highlights here and there to fix too. Looking good so far though.

Dam13n Posted June 19, 2011 Author Share Posted June 19, 2011 Thanks Winter... I see what you mean, may try to fix the cylinders if I can bring myself to repaint those areas. The thick bits of highlight are somewhat of a challenge for me to fix as I have a benign familial intention tremor, kind of frustrating when doing small details, and in real life some of the thick highlights aren't noticable (thankfully)... Cheers for the feedback. Note: I noticed myself that I'd forgotten the targeting lenses and the searchlight, these are now painted in gem-style green and glow-style yellow respectively... May do an updated pic showing these once I'm happy with any other adjustments that I end up making... Laterz... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother_Ovis Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 There's a six-pointed star pentagram (hexagram?) on the long piece of parchment on its left arm. That makes it a Jewish dread :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dam13n Posted June 22, 2011 Author Share Posted June 22, 2011 Well it's supposed to be a hexagrammic ward rather than a hebrew symbol, but then again the idea of this: http://southparkstudios.mtvnimages.com/shared/characters/kids/kyles-cousin-kyle.jpg Piloting a dreadnought is rather amusing... :-P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Apostle Thirst Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 My mod sense is warning you to not make fun of religion (or race) :D That said, it's not a bad dread, although the front paint seems a little thick... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dam13n Posted June 23, 2011 Author Share Posted June 23, 2011 My comment was meant thoroughly tongue in cheek, no offence meant, was actually a reference to that particular fictional character rather than a general stereotype... Of course if any offence was caused to anyone - humble apologies... Anyway back on-topic - I think I see what you are referring to with regards the thickness, The paint was properly thinned but yes, a couple of the edge highlights do look rather thick in the pictures, it does look better in real life, but I think a little extra battle damage in that area should help break it up... I also noted myself that I haven't done the cables on the claws, will rectify that after work today. Thanks for the feedback... Laterz... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaliGn Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 That looks good, I'm using that kit to build a post-heresy Word Bearer's Dread, looks like we've had a coule of similar ideas! Mine looks like this: http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa103/welshmalign/Word%20Bearers/DSC_0003-2.jpg I'm also planning on going down the non-metallic route with mine, any advice you can give although I'm probably not doing Sky/Earth style.

I'm thinking that's a good idea. Look forward to progress :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
army310 Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 very cool i cant to see more from you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dam13n Posted June 26, 2011 Author Share Posted June 26, 2011 You think a thread may be dead and ignore it for a couple of days.... OK - I did get the highlighted problem areas sorted and some pics may filter their way through at some point. However I ended up winning the competition this was painted for so it's now sitting in GW Poole's display cabinet... MaliGn - True enough, some similar ideas. Your flames on the right leg look good, I can't really comment on the rest of the sculpting work because I can't see it that well on the pic. Like the SM being crushed as well. Only suggestion I would have would be to cover up the areas that you've been carving/filing off the detail work as they look a little rough at the moment, otherwise good stuff. As far as an NMM tutorial, there are much better people out there than me, a searchy should find a good tutorial... BTW, the metallics on this are actually TMM not NMM, I used boltgun-mithril for the upper half and tinbitz - boltgun for the lower half, need practice but happy with it as a 1st attempt. DA:T - I know, still can see how it could have been seen as offensive and no harm in clarifying/apologising... army310 - thanks, I do have numerous other things that I've posted over the last few years since I joined, however whilst I have the 2nd half of the Space Hulk terminators to paint and another unit of two of Iron Warriors to finish (to my gaming standard) after that I have a 2000pt Dark Eldar army to do, so may be absent from here for a while. (unless the mods were to allow pics of said dark eldar, which they (quite rightly) don't)... Laterz... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
