Good stuff I will admit, but it may be the pics (they seem a little grainy on my comp) but the metalics seem to be lacking depth compared to the rest of the model. Easy first cut beyond that though it 's all about what shows up. Good luck and let us know how you do.

one thing i noticed, the lens glint is different on the bottom than it is in the eyes/targerter thingy. Is this intentional?

but I have spent a while dribbing over the quality of the artwork. good job!

Nope. That's on the fix list, along with some minor touches on highlights here and there.

Looks great man! I'm not entirely sure how well it'll do though, but it deserves something! Good Luck.

Good luck!

not that i can match your skills but the checkers arnt working for me. i think checkers are more for orcs and the black and white doesnt make sense too me. considering the head i would have made it that effect but than red too offset the banner. dont take it the wrong way but thats my opinion. if i would judge i would ignore it because its so full but doesnt stand out because all is blue and well if a empeerors childeren landraider is parked next too yours you would have lost my attention.

but wow its freaking awsome

Updated the pics with some minor tweaks.

Looks amazing well done!

Beautiful work! Good luck for the Demons, when are they? Also, have you started work on the other minis yet?

I noticed the Dread is on the GW site (so I guess it made the cut).

Golden Demon UK 2010; Warhammer 40k Vehicle

It did indeed. Got a nice shiny finalist's pin, which I'm pretty pleased with for my first time out.

Well done Winterdyne. You definitely deserved it. Which of the minis on the GW site took the gold in your category?

those pics look horrible.

im glad gw didnt take your wip pics XD

Uh, what pics are horrible?

sir you failed too see the sarcasme

this model is absolutely beautiful IRL i would say the same from the pics but the blending and tone are all but faultless! Well done

Looking good indeed.
Just have to ask, what kind of magic you use?

great paintjob. are you the same wynterdyne of the dogs of war modification for DOW?

Yes.

Today's work on the chaplain dread, started with a black undercoat. Running with blended highlights on this one. There will be freehand later on, but not as complex as the last one - mostly just devotional texts, scrollwork and so on, trying to keep the scheme pretty much codex chaplain.

Like the base it's detailed yet simple at the same time.

sorry you had to wait for a reply.

i saw gd pics of your dread and they were horrible(taken by gw)

Oh god, those GD pics were horrid - every piece they showed looked so much better in the flesh. At least the winner's photos have come out alright...

I've a BIG fan of the Chaplain Dreadnought... and a BIG fan of your painting, so, needless to say, looking forward to this!

Who actually won in the end?

Just seems like GW just trying to keep the results secret from anyone who wasn't there at GD.

All I know is who won the Slayer Sword, GW didn't see it as worth their while to actually give us the winners of induvidual categories.

Great start on the Chaplain Dread BTW.

The pictures on the big screen were flashed up really quickly as they announced the winners I think if memory serves the winner was one of the ork trukks.

Linky for you:
