The only advice I have currently is drill out your barrels, and the metalics could use a wash

Once I find my hobby drill I'll likely do that At the moment I have no idea where I last placed it...

I actually repainted the blue on the dreadnought. The black wash was bugging me as it was too strong imo. I also mixed a large batch of the blue for all the models to maintain a consistent color so I figured it would be a good idea to make it match. I'll post pics tomorrow. I've also painted the AoBR dreadnaught and the Land Speeder. Pics of those will follow tomorrow too.

Updates June 9th 2010

I repainted the blue on the Venerable Dreadnought so that it matched the shade of my other units more closely. I bought a pot of Shadow Grey and Space Wolves Grey and mixed the whole pots together so I should have a standard shade across the entire army.

Venerable Dreadnought:




I assembled and painted the Dreadnought from my AoBR set. I still have to "Wolf" it up a little, but the base paintjob is there and finished

AoBR Dreadnought:




I also assembled and painted the Land Speeder. God I hate painting yellow! I used Scab Red for the pack markings as it was what I had on hand. I'll likely redo the red parts later. I also have to paint the weapons for the gunner.

Land Speeder:




Thats all the updates for now!

It is nice painting but for me it lacks......pizzazz.

Thanks. I know they are a little bland atm, but I'm mainly focusing on getting a nice clean paint job. Once I get the units painted, then I'll get on basing. Once I finish basing, I'll be looking into weathering and battle damage. hopefully by that time my skills will have improved. Attempting battle damage and weathering now seems intimidating :S

Logan Grimnar is now painted.

Finished my Iron Priest. I`m not a fan of this model so I rushed the paintjob some, but pleased enough with how it turned out. I need a better camera though :( Parts look blurry.
