Hey there Gallery Watchers

My slow painting pace continues but this time I was trying out my first larger vehicle/model. As soon as I saw the Leviathan model I knew I had to have one! He's fully magnetised for all weapons (including the volkite blasters although they and the missile pod are a bit useless in 40k). There was also a fair bit of repositioning of the legs and body to give it a more dynamic pose. I made the sandbags out of Sculpey for him to be leaning on. My main takeaway is I've discovered larger models are a lot of fun . As usual, any comments and critique would be greatly appreciated.

Wonderful, awesome and very nice. I like it a lot. Excellent job. I like a lot the damage. And full magnetised, also great.

Looks great. Also, glad you didn't overly "Wolfesize" him. Nice work!

Really nice weathering and a great pose.

Great job, love all the different weapons, they all blend in so naturally

Wow, great work!

Great weathering! Looks like an ancient war machine!

I agree that it is good there aren't a bunch of wolf pelts on Your Leviathan. Easily recognizable as a Space Wolves dread.

Love the color scheme!

Thats alot of grit.
Looks like he had a rough ride getting here -tell him to use a drop pod next time

Great work!

Awesome wheathering

Thanks everyone! Glad it seems to be well received.

I was a little concerned about the amount of weathering. I went a little further than I planned and was worried the model would be a bit busy. The intention was to make him look like he had seen a lot of action though. I don’t see Leviathans as machines that go in for a new coat of paint and polish after each battle.

I also prefer my Wolves without too much wolf bling. I find that if I wolf my wolves too much the wolf becomes a bit wolf and the wolf wolf as the wolf wolf-wolf.
