tjr Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 I'm sitting here putting togehter Cassor, listening to Fritz and wondering how I shown paint my DC dread. My DC are grey'ish, because I don't like black as well my dependency on airbrushed zenithal highlights. And I simply don't have the temper to put in edge high lights. So in order to Cassor interesting to look at, instead of a black brick with white details, I'm thinking about going heavy on the weathering. Any way, this is a thread to post pictures of Death Company dread, so fire away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Painted almost a year ago just as I restarted the hobby - could even be considered a Furioso, but it's here all the same: Hidden Content http://i1380.photobucket.com/albums/ah177/nevscorner/20141215_224032_zpswlb42dzq.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjr Posted September 26, 2015 Author Share Posted September 26, 2015 Hmmm, good idea to paint the greaves/vambraces (look at me - I just googled the correct terms) in a contrasting color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paikis Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Here's my Cassor the Damned. I have cleaned him up a bit since this picture was taken (the spill-over on the red especially) and for whatever reason my camera doesn't pick up the grey edge-hi-lights... but I promise they are there. The Blood Talons were painted with dry-brushing because I don't (yet) have an air-brush and overall I think they turned out pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjr Posted September 26, 2015 Author Share Posted September 26, 2015 Thanks all. What are dreadnoughts made off? Ceramite? I'm probably going the chipping medium route, and I want the layer underneath to be "correct". And I assume ceramite doesn't rust. My Vindicator for comparison: http://imgur.com/9ECwaqo ... Front of hull is ceramite. The reinforcements on the sides I assume are steel (that can rust) that help counter the recoil of the Demolisher Cannon.

tjr Posted September 26, 2015 Author Share Posted September 26, 2015 That is VERY nice. Which paint did you use for the front? VMA Black Metal? I looks like it has a sort of texture or sheen to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you! Base is drybrush Vallejo black primer. Drybrush vallejo gun metal metallic color. Then some sort of dark grey mix.... it was watered down and thin, so some of the metallic is hinted. Washed in Imperial Primer/water/futurefloor wax mix. Then painted the details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedemptionNL Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Here's my Cassor. I went for a blue tint to go for a sort of midnight black: http://i.imgur.com/ovmkrsL.jpg http://i.imgur.com/CmAMXEc.jpg http://i.imgur.com/svwAClC.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjr Posted September 27, 2015 Author Share Posted September 27, 2015 So far so good. The shading looks way less dramatic IRL. Also the Magna-grapple isn't glued on yet. I goofed up with the chipping medium. Either I didn't let the clear coat underneath try enough or I put on too thick a layer. You can tell it has sort of "Dragon Scales". Anyway, I think I want to add some more base colors, before I active the chipping medium. Last picture shows what's underneath the blackness http://i.imgur.com/RK8BkUT.jpg http://i.imgur.com/eywNzUm.jpg http://i.imgur.com/TZ8mn1Y.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LutherMax Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Have you ever tried sponging on the chips rather than using colour layers and chipping medium? It's kind of like doing it in reverse but the end effect is very similar and you have more control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjr Posted September 27, 2015 Author Share Posted September 27, 2015 I think that "sponging" chips on makes it look like paint with paint on. This methods lets the top layer show the bottom layer. Also, it's more than "chips" and more like paint flaking off (at least that's the plan). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LutherMax Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Yeah I'm familiar with the technique - I used it on my Deff Dread (link), I've just found you can achieve a similar effect with sponging but without the issues of the 'bubbling' you've had. With the sponge you can create larger areas of flaked-off paint just by building up in layers on the same area until you have solid patches.

Perhaps the bubbles were a blessing in disguise; it's looks like Big Cass was hit by a Helldrake. I have some Vallejo crackle medium on the greaves and vambraces, but it has yet to the crakling-thing. The hope was to have a marble-ish effect.

Charlo Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 With the beige parts, I think some orange / red glowy talons would look ace. Or maybe green if he's going to have a lot of Red detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjr Posted September 29, 2015 Author Share Posted September 29, 2015 I was just thinking that I should paint the tubes/pipes, weapons (not sure I like the yellow) and "other stuff" in red. Green is a good bet and I wouldn't have to buy any new paint :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronKobra Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 I painted up this version of Moriar a good while ago (prior to the release of the plastic Furioso kit) - converted out of the Ironclad Deadnought kit. My painting has come on a bit since I did this, would love to give him another go but I would never find the time lolhttp://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab36/IronKobra84/WIP%20Blood%20Angels%20Moriar%20the%20Chosen/DSCN8736_zpsea3d6fc2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
