Hello all.

As a first topic and show of my work, here is a Thousand Sons Contemptor I've done for my army. thoughts?

Great work, and I especially like your profile pic

Many thanks, and glad you like both the dread and my profile pic fellow MyChem fan or just like the pic?

Oh yeah big fan, got a BL/ind shirt and the Stars and Stripes hoodie on right now.

Oh very nice . I have Danger Days playing now and this week bought a shirt with the Danger Days spider on the front. Planning to mimic the red hair somewhat . Anyway, probably best get back on topic.

Pretty nice, colours are nice and crisp.

Thanks, the Yellow was a pain to get nice though . It is a hard colour though, right?

Awesome!

The only thing I think that would make it cooler is if it had a big arse staff. But otherwise it's awesome

It's well done, but it's just not doing it for me. Doesn't really give the model justice, or the legion. There's so much empty space on the contemptor to have a blast with.

Like I said, well done, but you could've done more. Looks a little plain.

Haha yeah, If I had the skill/parts at the time I would have loves to have done that.

Hmmm, interesting points, but I respect your option. It was the most I dare do, and maybe the angles dont do it justice. Hopefully no.2 will be more adventurous.

Yeah, I understand that. I was so scared to do freehand, I didn't put anything on my vehicles until I was like a year into painting.

Good luck! I think the hands in particular could use some 'flavor'

Many Thanks. Yeah, I might go back to it and freehand some details....oh, and definately smoke pigments I noticed when building it that the lumps around the dreadfire hands are little flamer nozzles
