Cheers for the comments guys, should have a few updates with yet another, and possibly final, colour scheme I've tried.

 

@Wicced I have thought about what I'm going to be doing with that and came to the conclusion that as its not an aquila I shall let him bear it un-desecrated, maybe even write up some fluff for him to explain it.

 

@LuNCHBiZZLe It depends honestly as I do the models slightly differently each time (not on purpose, I can't seem to remember what I did the last time) but they all essentially are boltgun metal washed heavily with asurmen blue, then repainted boltgun and highlighted mithril before inking blue again. Not sure what that is in the new paint collection but should be pretty similar. Then sometimes I ink it with black but it depends how blue you want it.

 

@georgeapg Cheers dude and I don't think the dread is that much bigger than a normal one; the walls its on might add a bit of hight as might the exhaust vents but I think its mainly the angle. I'll get a scale shot when he's a bit closer to completion.

 

Cheers again guys.

Thanks man. Had a buddy at a local game store use a blue steel color that I can't find anywhere and your technique is extremely close to the end result. been wanting to replicate the look for years on my IW.

Been a long time since my last up date again, but I'm still struggling with getting a consistent armour colour which I like, but hey, here's a nearly finished tactical squad for you:

All pretty self explanatory.

 

Also finished making my Aspiring Champion for my third tactical squad:

Also decided to join the E Tenebrae Lux challenge to hopefully speed me up, want to get the whole lot finished by my campaign weekend in september.

 

Will hopefully have some more updates soon.

 

+Edit+

 

Meant to be writing 3,000 word report, instead started meddling with my Champion's stave:

 

Not finished yet, but on its way

C&C as normal.

Just a quick post to prove I'm still alive and struggling with this force. Just under a month to get this army finished for my event on the 14th and I still have several squads, vehicles and details to do. Not that I'm panicking.

I've made some headway with my tactical squads (the one I failed to do for the ETL seeing as I was on holiday...) but shall post pictures of that once they're complete, for now here are some PIP of my Dreadnought:

Helpless guardsmen reaching for a grenade which the Dreadnought's hubris or targeting matrix deemed unimportant

god that dreadnought and it's base are just amazing. you've added some nice narrative to an otherwise normal plastic model. well done :P

EDIT: not that normal implies that its bad or anything!! :P
