Need to start planning ahead, as next Friday I’ve a busy day of seeing the new Ghostbusters movie, and a gig at my local. With my last two Legion Support sets arriving this afternoon, reckon I might set that day aside for undercoating Epic stuff.
Automatically Appended Next Post: Day 76
Calling this lad done. Wasn’t initially sure the alternating colours on the sarcophagus lamps was working, but a careful layering and tidy up has left me satisfied.
Next up today should be assembling more Epic models, which should be in my palid, sweaty mitts in the next hour or two.
Tomorrow I’ll do another paintjob on another Dreadnought.

Fed up of Scalpers? But still want your Exclusives? Why not join us?
And a group shot, with just a Leviathan and a Deredeo left to go.
Starting to actually properly dawn on me that, sooner or later, I’ll be left with nothing 28mm Heresy left to paint from my current collection.
The next shelf stands at 4 Predators, a Laser Vindicator, 10 MkVI Assault Marines and the two AoD characters. I’m definitely feeling confident enough to tackle the characters now.
Automatically Appended Next Post: Have also assembled a sprue of Legion Support. Soon as the other three are done and I can properly visualise assets, I’ll get my army list updated. But I’m pretty sure I need another box of Infantry.

Over lunch I did some metallics I’d missed/felt they were needed, and the Nuln Oil wash.
Now work is over, it’s time to change my pot water, and get the detailing done. Bit of red of course, baharroth blue on the coils, do the scroll work in Bestial Brown then bone. After that? He’ll be done.

I can't believe you haven't got an Ork army, that'll need correcting some day
Jokes aside, great job on that dread!

It’s a nice spot colour, and will of course get its second coat before it’s done.
Unsure how I want to do the lights on the sarcophagus though.
What color do you do eye lenses?
If red, you might want to go with the same shade, and then maybe some BftBG to add a gloss element? Personally I use a metalic green with a gloss green soulstone paint, but red fits your army better.
Alternatively, a bright blueish white or pale yellow makes decent lights. How do you plan to do all the headlights/spotlights on your tanks?
I use the same reds as the rest of the model. They pop out better on some, but I can’t be arsed to go redo them.
Speaking of redoing? Was about to get some Metallics down on the Leviathan, and noted its black coat was overly patchy. So tidied that up, knocking his metallics back to tomorrow. Probably a lunchtime job, so once I may be able to get the whole thing done by the end of the evening.

Every time I see a dread I hear dawn of war's quote. Well in french, because I always played in french and relic's voice acting at the time was absolutely mental.

Even in death I still serve, I presume?

'Awsum' is the highest rating I can give something based on quality. Example: I would call it an 'Awsum' AWS-8Q instead of an 'Awesome'

Best dread being obviously Thule in DoW2, also voiced to stellar levels in the french version of the game.
Company of heroes 1 and 2 (especially the first) where just as good, but unfortunately most games today are either poorly voiced or copy pastas of one another. Or are not even translated.

GW:"Space marines got too many options to balance, therefore we decided to legends HH units." Players: "why?!? Now we finally got decent plastic kits and you cut them?" Chaos marines players: "Since when are Daemonengines 30k models and why do i have NO droppods now?" GW" MONEY.... erm i meant TOO MANY OPTIONS (to resell your army to you again by disalowing former units)! Do you want specific tyranid fighiting Primaris? Even a new sabotage lieutnant!" Chaos players: Guess i stop playing or go to HH.
Definitely got a touch of Nurgle today, so minimal effort. Last two Predators getting their undercoat.
Not sure if I’ll be working tomorrow due to illness and my brain not working. If I take the day off, I’ll try to blitz a load of the metallics on these four.
That actually makes sens, personally it's just that with most steps being somewhat longer than on an individual infantryman, I'd rather do them one at a time

Limited time today as I’m seeing a film and a gig. But the Hobby Must Flow. Final two Predator turrets with their base metallics down. I will be adding some flavour colours later.
