Hard to see the quality of the paint job, but it looks pretty good, and the actual colour scheme is the best I have seen, bar none.

Though guards may sleep and ships may lay at anchor, our foes know full well that big guns never tire.

Well done. Very convincing fire effects on the wings. Better pictures would be appreciated, though.

Hehe, awesome work. The detail alone shows what a labor of love that model was.

I love the detail on your helldrake. Better quality pictures would allow us to be better judges of your model. But I do like the paint scheme.

Looks great! Best idea for the Helldrake I've seen so far! Like to see this with an ice effect instead of magma/fire too. Bet that would look bad-ass!

Paint jobs like yours are why the heldrake was designed the way it was. People keep clowning on the sculpt until something like yours comes along and really shows the potential of the mini. Yours proves it's a killer mini, with a paint job like that it's undeniable, great work.

I like the concept. I've seen helldrakes with a bit better-executed painting, but this is the first one I've seen where I haven't cringed. Your eye for color has made this model look like something I'd be proud to field, which says a lot, given that I couldn't say that about the 'eavy metal job...

Yes, a light box would definitely help. Just try sticking up white paper or card for now and fiddle around with natural light or lamps. Fantastic painting BTW

Wondering Why the Emperor Left




The Warp

I like that burning magma look. By the way I am fairly sure it was unintentional, but the pic with the cable box displaying the time in the background; it looks like the model is actually glowing and that is kind of awesome!

"The uniforms of the Imperial guard are camouflaged in order to protect their wearers by hiding them from sight. the principle is that what the enemy cannot see, he cannot kill. This is not the way of the Adeptus Astartes. A Space Marine's armour is bright with heraldry that proclaims his devotion to his Chapter and the beloved Emperor of Mankind. Our principle is that what the enemy can see, he will soon learn to fear." -The codex Astartes
