Benzin ninja Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 This is my first, somewhat nationalistic, Greyknight Dreadknight. I have 18 unfinished spacemarines and a Venerable Dreadnought that will be in the same color scheme., Sorry about the pictures, my Camera-fu isn't really up to par just yet. http://peecee.dk/uploads/052013/WP_20130518_011_big_thumb.jpg http://peecee.dk/uploads/052013/WP_20130518_0071_big_thumb.jpg http://peecee.dk/uploads/052013/WP_20130518_0081_big_thumb.jpg http://peecee.dk/uploads/052013/WP_20130518_0061_big_thumb.jpg I haven't quite decided wether to wash it or not.

shortysl Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 I'll be honest, and please don't be insulted, but right now I really don't like that Dreadknight. Now I'm very much a traditionalist so it could just be that, but at the very least you need to get some ink washes onto that bad boy to stop it looking quite so much like a toy and more like a model. Also I'd consider getting some Boltgun Metal (Ironbreaker in the new scheme I think) onto the skeleton; the black makes it look unfinished. Also, get some more layers of red on. You can see the black undercoat still and it just looks patchy. These are all just my opinions so feel free to ignore every word I've said. Other than that, welcome to the ranks of the Grey Knights brother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benzin ninja Posted May 18, 2013 Author Share Posted May 18, 2013 I appreciate your honesty :) Traditioanlist or not, I am fully aware that it's not any where near as good as many of the other models here, and that I have much to learn. And now I guess i'm off to find a "Washing for dummies" guide, i'm sure there is one around here somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only took the decision to experiment with washes in recent months and it's the best decision I ever made; it's impossible to go wrong with them. Don't worry about how it compares to other people's models; there are a number of ridiculously good painters on here that still make me cry! As long as you're happy with your schemes, that's the important thing though if you're anything like me, you'll always want to improve on what you've got When I say traditionalist, I just mean I think Grey Knights should be grey etc. so anything that falls out of the norm is automatically dodgy in my opinion ha. It's a flaw in my character..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benzin ninja Posted May 18, 2013 Author Share Posted May 18, 2013 I have done some washing before, with varied success. My Ironclad Dreadnough has gotten som dodgy dark spots due to over-eager use of wash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wash it into the recesses and around any raised symbols, then clean it up afterward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
