So here's a test model for a death company unit led by Astorath the Grim. The reason for the coloring is behind Astorath's fluff, he would kill any death company that would become too crazed by the black rage. So this would be a unit of death company that he killed before they got too crazed. Enjoy.

Alright so I lied, managed to get some decent lighting thanks to some oddly placed lights :laugh:

Here's the Death Company Dread with two blood talons (slightly converted)

Those blood talons are fantastic. What did you use for them?

They're just made from regular Dread CCW's (used the venerable dread set's and had a spare metal furioso which i used the whore right arm) and just attached the blades of some WHFB goblin swords to the fingers. I liked how they came out better than the old Wolves dreadnought claws.

+rep Fins Fan!

oh and the Dread is looking good.
Just doing some planning for Astorath, will most likely keep his scheme traditional red with black wings, will hopefully get time to start him up over the week/weekend :D

Link is dead. I would keep the banner simple. Maybe a single image.
Fixed the broken link (I think?) I'll have Astorath done by the weekend hopefully heh.
Astorath is done, if I find a good light to take the pic in I'll post tonight, if not he'll be up tomorrow :D

@Isarofeen: its just a small file or blade that takes off the crease left by the mold when the pieces of the model are made.

Well here's Astorath, It was very difficult to get a decent picture due to his dark color without it seeming either too glossy or too flat, so here's the best I could do with my phone camera XD

And the Squad

I was a little reluctant to post the pics because it doesn't show much of the detailing off but I figured you guys wanted to see the finished squad :p Enjoy!

Do I see "Dell" in one of those pics?

Heresy! :suicide:

On topic, models look good :D

The dreadnought does look a little bit flat. Maybe use a wash to darken the skull? It's really got no contrast at all from what I can see, and there's a lot of room to make it stand out more.

Sorry I haven't been posting, schools got the best of me :/

Anyway, here's the 6th member of the squad, finished him up this morning :biggrin:

I said so up above, and you ignored it :(

On topic:

Mate you've obviously got some good skill with the brush, but it looks like your colours are a bit thick, especially the white. Make sure you let each layer dry before you put a new one on, and remember lots of thin coats are better than one or two thick ones.
Hey all got another one done tonight, only one pic so the thread doesn't get too long haha

This one looks a lot nicer than those previous, but I think the paint could still do with a bit more thinning, you can see brushstrokes, and where the paint is built up.

Also, mould line on the bolt pistol! :(
