These are just a few shots of my dread
The camera isn't good enough to capture the colours very well, but it is not too far off.
Tell me what you think I could improve upon/what you like!
Cheers!

Looks pretty good, I would take some of the orange and highlight the edges. It really makes the panels pop out

I agree with Miindhaze. The dreadnought looks great but its in need of some sharp orange highlights along the edges (blazing orange--med orange color). My first impression of the model was that you had painted it to be completely rusted; dirty orange without highlights = rust.

I do tend to go for realism rather than the painted aesthetic.
I think it works better on my marines due to the lack of edges.

I really like the chain on the back. As for improvemnets, looks like the paint is on kind of thick.
