That's a nice troll, and I never noticed its LotR-ness before you pointed it out. It was in one of the $50 add-ons. I skipped all of them since the contents were so semi-random, the increase in price to $50 a pop, plus the postage costs.

Yeah his armour looks better now I've gone back and edge highlighted it all. Dry brush didn't come out all that well.

That board is amazing. It reminds me of a city after the apoc/nuke, when nature is busy reclaiming. Also, the bro thing killed me. 
Your death company dread looks great.

Small update for Cassor no pics yet though. Brightened up the saltires with Evil Sunz Scarlet, Ushabti Bone'd some of the skulls and put a wash of Seraphim Sepia on followed by another layer of Ushabti Bone. Leadbelcher'd the joints on the power claws and Balthasar Gold'd the wing bits and blood drops ready for jewelling up with red. Washed the Celestra grey wings with Nuln Oil.
In other news- been hammering Dawn of War Dark Crusade as the Necrons on Campaign mode. Must've wiped out the entirety of the Blood Ravens chapter twice after killing 2000 in a single battle.
Kicked the Word Bearers and Tau off Kronus. Now heading towards the accursed Eldar.

So definitely assembling the dreadnought in the DC sarcophagus for yours then? Should be interesting to see what you do with it. Here's my Necron Lord from DoW Dark Crusade so far:

Been a while since I updated this.. hobby mojo seems to have waned a little lately. But the show must go on.
First up is Brother Claudio of the Blood Angels. Followed by Xenos Heresy.. Also got some more drybrushing done on my Dark Angels assault squad. I'll upload them once they've been neatened up a wee bit.

Nearly there. I've decided to skip painting the freehand power field on the claws, and go for a glaze of Guilliman Blue. The photo doesn't show it that well but it looks awesome!
Quick question to you lot: The damaged armour bits-to highlight or not to highlight??

I reckon just a quick highlight around the edges of the damages sections, just to bring them out a bit more.
He's looking good, though!

That Blood Angel Claudio needs a right base to stand on.
Oh I do like the pose you did on Fistgar Grim, painted up should look great!

I'll be honest, I like drybrushing A LOT. Makes things so much quicker. Quick question to you all- do you think I've overdone it with the BFTBG on Goriel? Or do we think there's a suitable amount of blood spatter from someone who's just ripped a genestealer's head and spine off?

I'm not convinced genestealers have red blood, but if they do, I'd say there's an appropriate amount

I'm not a huge fan of blood splatter everywhere, as I think it just takes away from the details of the model. But thats my opinion on everything, not just your model, so I'm a little biased. I'm a fan with less is more on BFTBG.

To be honest though, he's just pulled a Genestealer's head off lol. There would be LOTS of spray from that filthy xenos.

Thats completely fair. Just giving my thoughts. I TOTALLY agree that it makes sense for blood to be everywhere though.

So at long last, I got my Leadbelcher spray annnd it doesn't disappoint. Holy gak why didn't GW do this sooner?!
Also I've binged a bit and bought a number of new things due to a new GW stockist opening near me. Self control goes out the window a bit when the good stuff is on your doorstep!
Got a Voidraven bomber, new plastic Haemy (beautiful models!) after only going to pick up some Nuln Oil lol. As well as a shed load of Renedra (only 120 of them for 15bucks) 30mm bases to rebase my Necrons on (possibly Dark Eldar too for some of their bigger units like Ur-ghuls and Scourge).
Tried out the Leadbelcher on my new plastic Overlord. What do we think?
