@Gits - Thanks @Solar - Oh yes, but its worth it Update: Started working on the edge highlights on the dread, I have a new brush to use for highlighting and so far I am very very happy with it, I can produce some very thing and consistent lines. The higlighting isn't complete only because I ran out of time and I was making sure I got everything looking right.

Contemptor looks good so far! I especially love the Tau Crisis suit he's crushing underfoot. Maybe its because you're tired of Tau so you want them dead? Lol JK, I know you enjoyed painting the Tau! I assume the Contemptor's gonna have some squiggles on it?

That contemptor is looking fantastic so far. Great to see those army shots as well - they look really great.
Also, let me know next time you plan to be in Melbourne. I've got a pile of stuff here, just waiting for you to assemble and magnetise!

Sheesh, I don't get on here for one week and you go and get a bit older (Happy birthday) and share a bunch of cool conversions, I like that Telion sniper model among the the others.
Contemptor is looking good. Looking forward to seeing the Gray Nights getting new forces!

@hk1x1 - Thanks, a quick black wash followed by the highlight colour really made it easy
@MK - No worries mate, you're here now and again and you lurk it works for me!
@Zerg - Cheers, Yeah I was going to paint the battlesuit up in LDP's Tau's colour scheme when I made him last year, however with the recent completion of the Tron-Tau I had to paint it as them, it just wouldn't be right. Oh and of course it'll have squiggles
@Azazelx - If your serious about getting me to assemble and magnetise I'd be happy to help out, I do like building models
@Mad - You and me both man, I might have this guy completed for our next game!
@EDC - Thank you man, appreciate it.
Update: Finished of the edge highlighting and started blocking in some colours and washing (doing everything different than I normally would) regretfully I didn't to much done as the family was sick this weekend.

Is that bolter barrels in the fist of that model?
That is awesome, I like this model even more now! I might have to pick one up some time... although my Hive Fleet will probably just want to eat it.

@NF - Cheers Damo, I like the Crisp and Grey on this guy, I am really the most happy with the edge highlighting so far.
@Januine - Thanks man, it is a very commanding pose isn't it
@EDC - Oh yes, there will be plenty of little squiggles on this guy, he is an ancient weapon of war after all!
@Mad - Yep a storm bolter in one fist and a plasma gun in the other, combined with the missile launcher on the top to boot. You could always to a scenic base with a contemptor and another flyrant.... just saying
@Graven - Thank you, getting close to completion, I'm not sure its any quicker than I normally paint though.
@Nevelon - Welcome to the blog! Rules wise this will be part of my Space Marine force painted up as a Grey Knight, it's all about that bling eh?
@Wolvey - Thanks, when I was building I hadn't settled on the top mounted cyclone launcher so there is another tilt shield on his left arm, but its kind of covered up now, bit of a bugger but at least I know its there
Update: Reds and the Tau on the base are done, I might need to do more red on the cyclone pack, but not sold on it yet

Update: felt I needed to add a bit more colour so bit the bullet and did the missile pack in red with a bronze trim. I also started some little bits to add flair

@Gits - I am reallly happy with how he is coming out, I was very daunted by all the flat panels and having flash backs of painting tanks by hand (no airbrush work) I was worried i wouldn't be able to get a nice smooth look.
@Graven - Cheers man!
@Wolvey - Thanks, looking back through a "how to paint" guide I own, I did mess up by not having the holy triangle on the model, so while it looks good it doesn't have a focus point.
@Januine - Great to see a fantastic painter as your self agrees with my intermittent thoughts on how to paint my models, I always like getting feed back, it helps make me a better painter I feel (Drilling barrels, mould lining and thinning paints comes to mind)
@EDC - He's not done yet!
@Cleatus - Thank you!
Update: pretty much done, just need to add squiggles

Well, if you're ever in Melbourne and are up for some assembly, I've got tons of stuff unbuilt - plastics, FW, it goes on and on. I've also got the tools, I just lack the patience/skill/confidence/all of the above to get them done for some reason. I'll even feed you!
That Contemptor has come up amazingly well. Crisp and Grey indeed. The spot colour red works perfectly, as does the blue of the claws. Yeah, the paint there looks really really nice.
