Here's a little look at a Dark Angels contemptor Dreadnough i'm working on still got another level of highlights to go and all the metal parts will be done in nmm Gold or nmm Silver...
so lots to do yet.. My only question is should the leather parts on the shoulders...will they look ok Red..? or if you have a suggestion be great to hear..
all C&C really welcome.. Many thanks hope to hear off you all.

Personally, I think that the armour should be a much darker green, the colour really remids me of the Aurora Chapter. Apart from that, you airbrush skills are amazing

Great Work

Are you using the minitaire ghost tints to do this? I have seen this same color green when people have used minitaire. I agree with the above that while the paint job is flawless, the color itself has a bit too much yellow in it to look like dark angels, I am actually seeing more death guard here. It's an amazing job, the color is just a bit off in the pic

The airbrush work is excellent but I agree it looks a bit bright for dark angels.

Could also be camera lighting as well. As well of course the black-ish background also will make the model look slightly brighter than it is.

Very cool work, and nicely controlled gradients on there! I'd echo the brightness concerns others have voiced. I personally like to paint my base shades of green, then apply a wash or two of black india ink. I use W&N, but any waterproof/lightfast ink should suffice. It gives a similar effect to GWs Nuln Oil wash, but is easier to control tint with water dilution.
