Ok so I nipped into the local pound store and saw they had some realy nice acrylic paints for 60p a bottle (59ml) !
I've picked up a metallic purple to use as a base and a pearl white to high light it with and I'm amazed at the quality of theses paints so I'm gona go back in during the week and pic up all the other colours there . They go on realy smooth and cover well .
Here's some pics of it the whole of the armour was given 2 thin coats of metallic purple then a 1st highlight with a 8/1 purple/pearl then some edge highlights with 8/2 .
It's a lot more purple in real life than shows here as the metallic is realy hard to photograph...

hmm wat particular pound store did you pop into, those paints seem to be very good quality from what I can tell.

also, the dread is looking awesome, really like whats you've done with the greenstuff, i no you haven't got the shoulders, but do you have any idea if the weapons will be easily magnetized?

There's a web addresses on the bottles there made by royal & langnickel and its WWW.royalbrush.com havnt checked it yet .

It's not gona be gamed with do the left ARM is gona have the lascanon pointed up and the left is the power fist pointing out as if its fireing the storm bolter .

Then the base is gona have him crushing a marine ( maybe world eater ? Can't remember who emps didn't like ) under foot .

Wow, that gold and purple looks really great. I was a bit hesitant at first about the purple, but that really looks great! Nice work.

Managed to do the silver and the helmet today . I'm gona add the weathering to the exhaust last thing and I'm now working on the base until the sholders get here .
Also the paper scroll on his groin is gona be a illuminated manuscript page rather than the normal bit of newspaper you seen on less perfect legions ! . And I'm thinking about having a small banner ? Ether on top or hanging if the lascanons ( a bit like titans have ? ) what do you guys think ?

CURNOW as ever your stuff is superb. The Contemptor model has convinced me to collect a small 30k Heresy Space Marine Force.

Collecting Forge World 30k????? If you prefix any Thread Subject line on 30k or Pre-heresy or Horus Heresy with [30K] we can convince LEGO and the Admin team to create a 30K mini board if we can show there is enough interest!

I do like banners personally, but the idea of having a Titan style one hanging from a gun is awesome.

Oh and I am SOOOoooooo getting myself one of these kits.

This is outstanding. I also think a titan-style banner under a weapon would work well, and really give that pre-heresy feel to the model as well.

Do you have pictures of the rest of your EC army?

I hate to correct you fluffwise Curnow as I think you could do an awesome job on Bjorn but he wasn't put into a dread until years after the Heresy He's in a regular sarcophagus dread. I would love to see Haldon-Tal though. Great work on Rylanor Im hugely impressed

I don't agree with the purple, but other than that it looks pretty cool.
