Furioso Dreadnought



Say what?!  Another post in the same week?  I know. Crazy, right?  I've taken a bit of a break from my orks and started working on some Blood Angels.  My goal was to paint the smoothest red possible.  I made the horrible mistake of priming this model--and a squad of 10 assault marines I'm almost finished with--in brown.  Painting red over that was a ginormous pain.  What you're looking at is about 10-15 really thin coats of red to make sure it went on as smoothly as possible.  There are definitely mistakes here and there, but I really like how the wings came out.  I ended up painting them grey, and then white.  After that, I made my own wash out of turquoise paint, and then did a final highlight with white.  It's simple, but a nice variation from the grey and white wings you see on Blood Angels more often than not.  I used some Citadel texture paint to create a snowy base.
