This is my first dreadnought.
I have previously done a 5 man Ultramarine Devastator squad just before I did this dreadnought. That is my total painting history. I'll post up my Devastator squad later as they are not that great. I wanted to start with something that wouldn't embarrass myself.
I am extremely slow at painting. From cutting bits from the sprue to finishing with a matt varnish to seal it, it took me just over a week with about 2 or 3 hours a day in 20 minute goes. So a total of about 20 hours on it give or take. Way too much time.
Only technique I can sort of do is drybrushing so every little bit is drybrushed. I used Citadel paints on it. Didn't mix any paints. Only watered down paints and I used a couple of washes.
Please let me know what you think.
