Hey guys,
Can someone please aid me and help me with a step by step or basic painting guide for a dark angels dreadnought, would be much appreciated as i am very stuck on how i should paint this
Thanks Guys

Prime black

Heavy dry-brush your way up through the greens for your basecoat. Final lighter drybrush with goblin green if you want highlights that "pop", or something darker for a more subtle effect, then start picking out the details.

thank you very much

Unless its a Venerable, then it is the same color as the Deathwing.

thanks guys

I've done this with some good results.

Base in black.

Highlight with DA green down to goblin green and a final white edge
ink the whole thing in a light coating of green wash.

This will give you a very dark green and blend the highlights.

Do as they say with drybrushing then start doing coats of wash to tie all the highlights together and clean them up.

Might take 2-4 coats of wash to get a really good look. Make sure to let the wash *fully* dry before adding new layer.

Cheers!

thanks people

Dark Angels right???


Wash with a layer of gasoline, and then a very fine highlight of open flame...

Seriously, the tecniques decscribed above would work great, and if it is Venerable, I usually go with the Bubonic/Bleached/Skull buildup for a good bone appearance.
