I havent painted in around 10 years and decided that i wanted to get back into it. Had a look at lots of models and like the look of the Dreadknight.
It was completed last year and i've somehow lost the WIP photos i took. These are what i took after i'd completed it Feb 2012

let me know what you think.

Silver is too bright, give it a thick nuln oil wash then itll look much better!

The painting is really neat, though I agree with above poster, the metals could use some shading (washes?)

Use a Wash!

Solid paint job, a wash would go far!

The brightness is probably caused in part due to the flash. But yeah, definitely put a wash on it so that it'll give it some nice looking shadows and highlights.

From GW I like using nuln oil wash for the silver and recesses. Seraphim Sephia (brown) for over the gold and paper items.

Asurman blue can help make those metals pop.I ussed it on my dk.

I tried using the old n newer washes n shades from GW to give it the blue tinge but just couldn't get it to look right. It's very shiny mainly cuz of the flash but I wanted it to look clean as it was my first attempt at painting in over ten years.

Thanx for the comments n I'll give it a wash see how I like it.
