Blood Angels Furioso Dreadnought Finished!





Helo again!

I just couldn't let this bad boy WIP for long and got it finished today! I have tested myself to several new things on this one, mainly ways to improve my weathering techniques. I am overall happy with how it turned out (and it seems that my client-friend is happy too :) ). I especially like the reds (although AGAIN the pic is not the best I could get... this red is the biggest pain in a photographers life I'm sure about it!).


So there it is, finished and waiting for your comments and votes

  1. That looks great! Love how you got the red armor to look both painted and rusty at the same time!

  2. Thank you Max! As I said I tried several different weathering techniques with this one and I am happy that they seem to work :P

  3. Grimdark, gritty and brutal, just how every Dreadnought should be! A miniature that for me delivers perfectly what 40k feeling is about! As for the technical details, this is one of the best red and metallics I have seen for quite some time. The weathering is top notch too. I love the attention to the small details in your weathering technique. Like for example between the legs with this peeled off paint effect! Congratulations my friend. I hope we have more updates soon :)

  5. Beautiful colours on this Dreadnought man.
    The detail is superb, could you run through the colours you used for me please I have got some Blood Angels coming up and I like your choices.

  6. Thank you so much Munky! First of all I would definitely recommend Army Painter's red undercoat, that was the primer red I used. Then I used lots of brown and sepia washes to create the desirable shading. Mostly Valleho Sepia Wash and some of my own brown washes (I create my own washes using various inks). Then I started highlighting the model with Valleho red and GW's blood red mixed with orange up to an almost complete yellow at points. I hope that this was helpful, I really suck on making tutorials :P

  7. I love the exhaust stacks- beautifully done. Those are some of the hardest details for me- I usually end up with "pools" of paint in the recesses.

    I also love the saturation of color- not "fire engine red", but a brutal, deep red. Lovely as always, Mihalis!
