Hi Dakka,

thought i'd share with you my Ultramarines Redemptor Dreadnought.

Looks great

What colours did you use for the blue?

Nicely done!

I like your airbrushing, the gradients arent over the top but just right. Also love your base, looks great!

My points of criticism are twofold:

- No battle damage / grime? IMO would put this model over the top
- Mold lines showing at the back of the leg joints (those are a PITA to remove on joins like that I know) and at weapon backsides

Overall a solid 8+/7 from me. If your whole army is painted to this standard, kudos! Bet it looks awesome on a well made table.

@Aeri

What colours did you use for the blue?

The blue's that i used were following this painting guide by Jack of Clubs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ep8W72WQRv8&list=FLjxjU-5EDaMTuh8bo1bnSSA&index=2&t=0s

they are all Vellejo colours:

Mecha titan Blue

Magic blue

electric Blue

Electric Blue / white mix

Azure

@Tauist

thanks for your comments, i still consider myself a novice when it comes to airbrushing so i'm glad it turned out good.

Thanks for your feedback. I'm not a fan of battle damage on my models, i much prefer the parade ground look but each to their own, i can appreciate that some people prefer the realistic weather look. I concede the point on mould lines, i'm far too lazy and apathetic to remove these but i know i should.

I'm working on 2 squads of intercessors at the moment in the same style and i've just finished 3 eliminators. The army is slowly coming together
