Death Company Dreadnought

Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

 

This guy was one of my very first conversions. He's been sitting on my desk for over one and a half year. Mainly because I rarely field him.

Today I had the time to finish him.

Enjoy.

Looking good there buddy! Kinda like the name ;)

 

Good choice of bits and loadout, my only gripe with him is the back-standard, you could have filed down the meteor and cut off the hammer, it's a little bit too much of WHFB Empire. ;)

 

Looks like a clean paint job otherwise. I especially like the feathers and the searchlights from the landspeeder(I guess?) weapons, they look surprisingly well on the dread!

 

 

Well done! :P

How did you do the black?

I keep the black very simple. Prime it black and hit the hidden spots with Chaos Black. Adeptus Battlegrey (or whatever it is named now) to highlight the edges, and then hit it with the black wash aka "Ye goode olde Badab black"

Your boy looks good B)

 

Though, personally I'm not a fan of the "bright lines along the edges look", its just not how light works.

 

Here's a little experiment for you. For your next model spray prime it black, then take a white spray primer and give it a squirt, but only from one direction. In this way, you use your spray as a 'light source', which you then can work from, when you start painting ;)

That's fine for display models that will be viewed and photographed from one angle in a controlled setting. Not so good for general tabletop looks where you'll have no fixed view angle or light source.
