Gareth Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 This model is superb. All the limbs are jointed so you can position it however you want. I've taken my time on this model, just under a week and a half to build and paint and every minute has been pure joy to paint such a beautiful model. It's so hard to go back to GW plastic dreadnoughts after working on this model. I think I will buy these from now on for my Ultramarines as well. I added 3 pieces of spare Grey Knight pieces to make it more Grey Knight like. The shoulder shield, the shoulder pad book and the groin shield. I do love the contrast of dark oily ancient metal working gabbing and beautifully polished high shine blue steel armour. http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i278/Gareth_tyranids/Grey%20Knights/IMG_2377.jpg http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i278/Gareth_tyranids/Grey%20Knights/IMG_2380.jpg http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i278/Gareth_tyranids/Grey%20Knights/IMG_2379.jpg http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i278/Gareth_tyranids/Grey%20Knights/IMG_2378.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tallicafan Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Beautiful paint job! :tu: Mind sharing your recipe for the blue steel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamafore Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Please do. I tried silver over a blue undercoat and it didn't work as well as I'd hoped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PekkaM Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 I'm guessing silver basecoat and asurmen blue wash over that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth Posted September 17, 2011 Author Share Posted September 17, 2011 It's blue wash mixed with silver paint and airbrushed on. Then it's mixing more silver and brushing it on, keep repeating until it's pure silver. Don't just wash it, you won't get the sweet graduations and it'll leave tide marks.

Father Mapple Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Each Contemptor Dreadnought that looks like this makes me want to "Buy all" on my Forgeworld wishlist. Thanks for sharing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kisada Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 I didn't like the model when I first saw it on forgeworld's website when it was unpainted resin ... but you sir have definitely changed my mind ... now I just need to dig in a few more couch cushions ...

Brother-Captain Sharp Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 He's very... blue. It's an incredibly well painted model. Your detail work is very impressive and clean. Nicely done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozris Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 A very good paintjob for an awesome model! ;) Since I'm thinking about getting one myself with a Kherres A-Cannon I got a question: How many parts did the AssCannon come in, is it hard to assemble and probably the most important thing: were any of the parts (I assume there's a few of them?) warped? Thanks for your reply! oz ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth Posted September 28, 2011 Author Share Posted September 28, 2011 The 6 barrels are in 3 parts and were warped. You get the lower support (warped) ammo box and front cap to hold all the barrels together and the main body. So quite a few parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
