And the last model in this commission, done.
Sometimes, as a commission painter, you have to paint models you hate. Actually despise that is, in all aspects, not just grudging disappointment...
Sometimes, they hate you back.
This is the one I hate. Awful sculpt. Awkward casting, horribly warped solid chunks of metal that you'd have to resculpt from scratch to correct. Huge gaps that need half a roll of putty to bridge. Just plain ugly. Yep, it's a metal venerable dreadnought.
But the bugger is done now... Tabletop job, so nothing too pretty. Some nasty flaws which I wasn't being paid enough to fix (client was made aware that its an awful model before the job started, but hey, he likes it).

Very nice winterdyne. Agree with the others... TT is a fond memory. I really do like the understated damage. I always have a tendency to overdo it.

Good work

You make it sound horrible. I bet you just said all that stuff so you would sound like you where an expert painter and this was a "horrible job.

"Archon Yulliptidon sat apon a throne made of polished glass, which gleamed with magnificence in the rays of the dying suns, beautifully suspended above the the many razor sharp peaks that where Commorragh. The archon held within his hands a a delicate pyramid of sculpted crystal, from which emitted a faint glow, an echo of the soundless screams of pain belonging to countless tortured souls forever trapped within. The room in which the archon sat in was something like a throne room, but displayed apon the walls where helm of every color, but all the same in size and shape. Some bore eagles on their foreheads, and others still contained the decapitated heads of their previous owners. Two huge, beautifully carved iron double doors, engraved with intricate runes of pain and suffering, opened at the far end of the room, to reveal a tall, elegant dark eldar warrior, clad in armor made from bone and flesh. "lord Yulliptidon, you asked for my presence?" Said the arrival, " to what do I owe the pleasure?". The archon raised his elongated head, skin as pale as a full moon, eyes as vivid as a horrible nightmare. " I did not ask for you, Thrayon, I ordered your presence. Do not think to much for your self, for truly, you are not much past a feral that one would find on the streets. As for why I have ordered you to my palace, it is because their is a task that I wish you to preform. I wish you and you kabal to cleanse the imperial out fort of Sargosain Gastienagan." Thrayon was both aghast and interested at what the archon had just said. "Such a task would stretch my kabal to its limits, only a great reward would be enough to do a deed like this." Yulliptidon was outraged by the the proposal of a "great reward" by Thrayon, but did not let his anger show, hiding it with a cold smile that hid his evil intentions surprisingly well. The archon was was famous for never telling a lie in his life, but was very fond of veiled double speak, and this was no exception. "Do not worry, Thrayon, you shall receive what you deserve." Thrayon, happy with this outcome, left to carry out Yulliptidons task. Little did he know what was coming. Thrayon had done a thousand evil deeds, and what he deserved was a horrible death equal to to all those he had caused. Yulliptidons smiled. He was going to have fun."

Yeah, he is very good. LOL
One thing I think the dread needs though, is some brown stains on the metals. With the amount of wear and tear on the dread, perhaps a little hint of rust may be appropriate?
As always, you know best. 
EDIT: Is there a hint of red on one of the smoke stack's wing tip?

That might actually be a paint chip from handling,I picked it up while the varnish was still a bit tacky... Easy fix, as is adding a bit of brown to the metal. I'll probably just use a quick oil wash, saves having to revarnish and should give some shine too.
