It's Business time, huge mechanical multi-melta business time

I finally got around to putting the finishing touches on my Dreadnought.


Paints Used

Primer: Chaos Black

Base Coats: Mordian Blue, Boltgun Metal ( for all the metal bits and also for creating little places where the blue paint chipped off), Blood Red, Shadow Gray, Bleached Bone, and Shining Gold.

Highlights and Top coats: Ultramarine Blue (then a small layer of Ice Blue, but only where I felt like there would have been more ware, on the corners and edges of the steel plates) , Mithril Silver, Blazing Orange, Golden Yellow, Burnished Gold, and Skull White.

Washes: Delvin Mud.

Surveillance:

Tip #1: If you look closely you'll notice that I used the spray gun to put a light dusting of the color of the base (in this case Vermin Brown) to the bottom of the legs. I think it gives him a nice "I've been walking around in this dirt! Can't you see? My footsies are all dirty"

And I would kill any type of alien but I won't do that NO BABY I WON'T DO THAT!

Tip #2: I base coated the pieces of parchment and the banners in Bleached Bone and then highlighted them with Skull White. However for the skulls on the mini I base coated them with Shadow Gray (a blue-ish gray color) and then highlighted them with skull white. I did this because firstly I wanted a slight contrast between the two types of decorations on the mini and secondly I feel like that's the color of the shadow that would be cast if you shined a neutral light on either of those objects.

As you can see I also batch coated all my bases with Vermin Brown (the first three minis I did with Snakebite Leather... but I ran out and I didn't feel like going to the hobby shop). You'll notice that these all have slits in them, it's because this boxed can be assembled sans glue if you are a super noob. This actually has caused me more problems than solutions.
