Just a quick tutorial but I hope it has been helpful.

I would add a little battle damage if I were you. You did a wonderful job taking every opportunity to add detail, and it looks beautiful, but that wouldn't be realistic in a war. Add scratches and dents and bullet holes. Make it look worn down it will be one of the best pieces I have ever seen.

Are you talking about the Venerable Dread?

The article itself is a little bit fat. I found I had to side scroll all the time

Not sure why it was so fat but I've fixed it now so should make easier reading!

Great tutorial and well done on some awesome painting!!
I really liked seeing the contrast between the weathered, battle damaged dreadnought and the clean venerable dreadought.

Good painting skills displayed
More customisation would be nice. For my dreadnought I used the one from 'Assault on Black Reach' and gave it the thunder hammer from the Grey Knights Nemesis Dreadknight as well as numerous other extras e.g the skull camera with wings from the bastion set.(the pic of the skull camera is below)
