Hildebrandt Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Greetings Brothers, I've long been out of the hobby, but circumstances have caused me to return with zeal! Being my first love, I've decided to begin building a force of Blood Angels. I've picked up Deathstorm and will be working on that shortly, but I wanted to start out with a model that has been sitting around unpainted for a while - my relic contemptor dreadnaught: http://i946.photobucket.com/albums/ad310/chrissaunders2/2015-10-04%2018.17.27_zps7dmamvsl.jpg I've got the reds laid down and need to add shading and highlighting to the metal bits, then I believe it's mostly golds and detailing. The arms and missile launcher will be painted separately. They've been magnetized to easily come off. Look for more in this space!

Armond Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Is that grey primer? The red looks smooth and even. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/314502-hildebrandts-blood-angels-log/#findComment-4188496 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hildebrandt Posted October 5, 2015 Author Share Posted October 5, 2015 Is that grey primer? The red looks smooth and even. Yep! I don't like using white primer, and black is right out for painting red, so grey it is.

Charlo Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Looks cool! Double Kheres/ cyclone is the best! Only problem I can think of is that BA cannot take the Contemptor Mortis dread :( so you'd need to play unbound or an allied force to do it.

Only problem I can think of is that BA cannot take the Contemptor Mortis dread so you'd need to play unbound or an allied force to do it. Not even taking it with rules from IA? I need to find out which dreads (if any) I can take. If anything, hey it's magnetized! I'll throw on some cc fists or claws.

Hildebrandt Posted October 7, 2015 Author Share Posted October 7, 2015 Progress! Shading is done on silver and golds are on! http://i946.photobucket.com/albums/ad310/chrissaunders2/2015-10-07%2008.49.04_zpslrdl4zyz.jpg http://i946.photobucket.com/albums/ad310/chrissaunders2/2015-10-07%2008.48.51_zpsxq7r0vmb.jpg The black on the Aquila has been started. Still lots to do! I need to figure out what arms to give this guy. I see that BA Contemptor rules are in both Imperial Armour Apocalypse and Volume 2. Is either of these better/newer/more applicable? Edit: Some poor lighting in these pics. I'll try to clean up the next set.

Hildebrandt Posted October 12, 2015 Author Share Posted October 12, 2015 Updates! The Contemptor is "finished"! Hence named Brother Gideon: http://i946.photobucket.com/albums/ad310/chrissaunders2/2015-10-12%2008.24.56_zpskm4z8snc.jpg http://i946.photobucket.com/albums/ad310/chrissaunders2/2015-10-12%2008.25.09_zpssnorwzi4.jpg But this thing is supposed to be 10,000 years old, right? Guess it's time to start weathering! Next time, on DRAGONBALL Z! Also, here's a preview of things to come: http://i946.photobucket.com/albums/ad310/chrissaunders2/7202a4a5-4830-4efc-b87b-d6104e49a319_zps5hhertq9.jpg Captain Karlean, Raphen, and a Space Wolf for my wife.
