Huttah! Ever able to come up with brilliant thread names, right?? Well, here's my third project log. I have a 2k list that I'm building up to, so this is sort of a Mission Statement if you will. Here it is:

Belial - TH/SS

5 man Deathwing Knight squad

2x Mortis Dreadnoughts - both with twin linked lascannons

2x 5 man Deathwing squad - each w/ PC, 3x TH/SS

2x 5 man Deathwing squad - each w/ CML, 2x TH/SS

Inquisitor Coteaz

Ordo Malleus Inquisitor - psyker, force sword, 3x servo skulls

3x Servitors - 3x Heavy Bolters

3x Servitors - 3x Plasma Cannons

....and here's my makeshift Belial model and his current paint condition. I entered him in the painting deathmatch a few months ago and got this far, soon he will be finished!

One thing that I'm really looking forward to in this project is building the servitor models. I'm going to cut and GS some of my old metal Necrons with some Guard models, with heavy weapons coming from my devastator squad box leftovers. Super stoked for that day of cutting and puttying.

 

[Nacho libre]

That looks interesting. Cannot wait to see the smexy servitors that are made.

 

[Iraqiel]

Cool stuff, looking forward to the next update.

Not much of a painting update, but zap zap!! Just got a second dreadnought with one TLLC arm for $20, and I have started the assembly of my DWK squad.

I also should be getting in one of the two Inquisitors necessary soon, first ever model I ordered that was already painted in a manner that I don't need to work on. It's the most I have ever spent on a single model, but $45 for an OOP Inquisitor that has been pretty well painted didn't seem like too much...specially with free shipping! Here's pics from the listing:

Super stoked to see this guy in person. Army almost collected!

I found that its really hard to paint Dreadnoughts really nicely. A lot of empty areas that are not big enough to free hand or put something and are too small ton be ignored. Wanna see how you gonna work yours out.

I found that its really hard to paint Dreadnoughts really nicely.

Yeah, they're a real trick. I've only ever painted one before, and though it's a decent table top standard I wouldn't consider it anywhere close to done. Plus there's way more cool stuff going on with Furiosos than with an AoBR dreadnought. Really I'm curious to try out highlighting with the greens that I have, I'm almost at the point with the Mortis that I can start that process. A bit of Ledbelcher and Caliban touch ups and I'm off to the races with Nuln Oil. Then it's really just highlights and a glaze for coherency and we'll see how it turns out.

I have painted only one Dread and since then dint want to paint another one. Even though I love dreads they are just really hard to get right and ye same here I got AoBR dread to a table top standard and I have no idea where to take him next.
What greens are you gonna use to highlight him? Warpstone glow and moot green? Also what glaze do you plan on using?

 

[Iraqiel]

Inquisitor

Ah man he looks super nice! I turned that model into a radical, with a chaos origins powerfist and a hand grasping upwards as though he's about to cast some awesome saucery... mmmm saucery...

I'm gunna blast it with Nuln Oil, re layer with Caliban, come up a bit more with Warpstone, maybe do something else lighter if I really want, then hit it with the Waywatcher glaze. I find with my BA that my second highlight is almost negligible, I was thinking of using Nurgling as the second highlight colour because it's a little more toward the bleached bone sort of feel of the DW it will accompany. The glazes really pull things back to the colour you want them to be, I've gone pink to nice red before but I'm not as experienced with green. It would be these three colours as highlights:

and then the glaze. Fingers crossed, right?

That sounds tough man! I had been trying to scoop one that was super cheap that I'd strip down but I failed on sneaking bids in at the end of the auction time on eBay. I figured: hey, why not? At the bare minimum it's just one less model for me to paint :laugh:

Mmmmmmmm

Your name combined with this comment has inspired me to out for nachos and beer. No more painting shall be done due to this today....not that I was to begin with. Fucking procrastination....

 

[torealis]

Looking cool so far. I love the deathwing kit, some lovely bitz in there.

 

[Nacho libre]

Beer and nachos, I'm sorry to say but that's a recipe for painting the toilet(doing a massive shit).

The Deathwing and Death Company kits are my two favourite kits since coming back to the hobby a couple years ago. I didn't even have to work for that Belial model at all!

hahahaha maybe in excess! I was pretty good with it, though there was definitely more beer than nachos had. Either way I didn't paint shit until this morning, which brings me to my next comment:

Painting update! I have given this dude a pretty hefty Nuln Oil wash, and then reapplied some Caliban Green to the areas that I want highlighted. If you can see it in the picture, I'd be surprised. There will be a lot more of a colour gradient when I get my Warpstone on, and I may go back and reapply Nuln Oil to specific recesses to reinforce the highlighting I plan on doing.

Check out urban dictionary, they have a list of shits that made me laugh.

Ps. You can never have enough nuln oil.

 

[Iraqiel]

That's certainly a good start on the dreadnought, i think you are going on the right track with the warpstone as the next layer.

 

[ntaw]

Ha! A quick update, Warpstone anywhere you see highlights and a bit of Nurgling on the plate around the..er..skull star. When it's all said and done, I'm gunna hit it with a few layers of Waywatcher glaze to even it out some.

 

[ntaw]

Aside from the base and the writing on the parchment (which I will have to do when the hands are steadier) it's done!

So far, I think, so good! k:

 

[Iraqiel]

Very nice, how do you plan to base it?

 

[ntaw]

I've never been much for basing...I use the Astrogranite textured GW paint and wash the crap outta it with Nuln and Agrax, then highlight with Codex grey. You can see examples of it in my BA plog, but it's pretty straight forward.

Do you have any suggestions? It's not something I have ever given much thought, strange considering how far I try to take my painting... :blush:

 

[Iraqiel]

Hahaha I want to say grab a spare door from a predator you've given sponsons and paint it up to show rust and lascannon damage, glue it on, then go buy the 5 man cultist box and put bits of them looking burned and hole-y around the dreadnaught's feet...
