It's so hard to go back to GW plastic dreadnoughts after working on this model. I think I will buy these from now on for my Ultramarines as well.

I added 3 pieces of spare Grey Knight pieces to make it more Grey Knight like. The shoulder shield, the shoulder pad book and the groin shield.

I do love the contrast of dark oily ancient metal working gabbing and beautifully polished high shine blue steel armour.

Reanimator, I mix glaze medium into my paints and airbrush on a base coat.

I may not be wolf girl but I do know snow bases

Use pva glue and baking powder (not baking soda, don't get those mixed up. You come up with a very gummy substance that won't stick to wet hands/tools, so it's easy to mold and model. While the gum is still wet, sprinkle snow base over it. You get something that looks like this (Not the best example, since my necrons are supposed to look like they're trudging through heavy powder) :




Quite an amazing paint job on that dreadnought. It realllly makes me want an airbrush


Edit: I actually just posted a tutorial on powdery snow basing, if you're interested! ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/397966/3355562.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/397966/3355562.page GMT Grey Knight Contemptor Pattern Venerable Dreadnought http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/397966/3425575.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/397966/3425575.page GMT Grey Knight Contemptor Pattern Venerable Dreadnought FW site and now I want one even more!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/397966/3425721.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/397966/3425721.page GMT Grey Knight Contemptor Pattern Venerable Dreadnought Is the skull on the dreadnought's left shin freehand work?

The blue steel effect is superb. Well done Sir.
