So I'm occasionally a dirt-slow painter, and get easily distracted by other personal projects(like the release of Warmachine Mk3).  I did however finally finish the BaC Contemptor, and I'm this close [.......]  to finishing a volkite charger support squad.  Here are some pics of said Contemptor.

Great shade of blue you have there!

 

I'm not convinced by the weathering on the feet/shins, though, it's 100 % covering on the feet, then ends very abruptly on the shin, it kind of looks more like a tide mark from wading through mud, as opposed to dust - which is what I assume it is from the bases? It's just a little jarring, especially on the dread, where the tops of the feet are covered in mud, but the lower down shin armour isnt.

 

Maybe extend the gradient a bit more?

 

Sorry if that's too negative!

 

EDIT:

 

Didn't read this before:

 

Just a consideration: I'd blend more the pigment on the legs. As you painted them is a bit too stark the ending of the dirt line, just a consideration, they're great anyway ;-)

 
But yes, more subtle blending.

Not negative at all, I appreciate the feedback! It is intended to look like a Mars-esque sort of world with lots of dust blowing around everywhere.  What I may have to try is going in with more weathering pigments and lightly dusting more of the miniatures, and then sealing it.  

I feel like I've been making a lot of progress on these lately.  Next up I have some Cataphractii that already have the blue/plasma fluid down, and a second veteran squad to finish.

Here's a test version of the terminators; mostly I'm trying to decide between this brown vs Elysian Green for the "leather" flaps.
