Hey,

Did some changes, removed the OSL, threw some basic ballast on the base in the meanwhile until my resin comes. I think this turned out ok. Messed up a few spots, rushed others but overall I think we have table quality.

It was brought up before ; the lack of edge highlighting. I think edge highlighting is a good effect, but when you're blending up 3-4 colors, edge highlight in my opinion wont look effective. I am going for a realistic look, and I don't think the edge will help my cause.

I hope you enjoy.

I went with a darker focus to show the effect a little better.









C&C - always looking to improve.

Extremely well done there

Did you use airbrush or do you simply have mad skills? Even with airbrush that is amazing....

I love it! You are amazing! Defiantly TTQ!
Just think you might have been a little heavy on the wash on the quality seal on the left shoulder. apart from that, AMAZING!

That is amazing. I like the highlights/ transition for each armor panel.

Thanks guys! The armor was airbrushed. I'm pretty sloppy with the hand brush but I'm trying

Sweet job and that is definately table qualitiy and IMHO a whole lot better.

Love the purple armor and the sword looks awesome.

Thanks guys

looks great! wish i could do that to my swords...

Looks great, just off the showroom floor (it looks really clean, like he's not seen too much battle!) that sword is wicked, but almost so much that it draws attention away from the main model. Nice stuff, I like that purple.

Grey Knights take care of their gear once my restock of Mig pigments arrive I am going to weather up those mechanical parts. Maybe dirty up his new base and feet.

I wanted to go with a sword that looks powerful, almost as the focal point. This is the realism I was going for. Weapons such as these would most definitely draw your attention in reality and evoke intimidation.

That was going to be my suggestion as well. A little weathering and you a golden. Excellent use of purple imo.

On further looking, that base doesn't really do your paintjob justice either. It actually takes a bit from the work you've done I feel. Perhaps a bit of elevation or more components to the rubble.

That. Guy. Looks. Amazing.

Best. Dreadknight. Ever.

Thanks my next DK will have a dreadnought chest plate instead of the pilot and a wrist mounted great sword.

Loving the paint job, the shading is great, bet it took a rather long age to do

Thanks got 12 days off looking to finish my army.

The armor pieces were not that difficult to paint, but you can't assemble the model until everything is painted so that's the most time consuming part. I also got my pigments and resin bases in, so ill be working on that and weathering this model up. Mainly on the mechanical parts and feet.

Stay tuned, next update will be big.

The sword is awesome and the blend on the armour is nice.

My favourite part by far though is the gold wrist guards - mind sharing how you achieved those?

Cheers

Simple really. Vallejo Liquid Gold - Old Gold. These metallic paints by vallejo are absolutely insane. They flow, cover, and paint themselves onto your model. I strongly suggest getting them.

Beware you need to dilute them with isopropyl alcohol, they claim if you use water the paint will rust!

Hope this helps

Good lord......

Hmm, so it's not some crazy NMM thing? Interesting. I will check it out though I have gotta work out where to get isopropyl alcohol in the UK....
