Contemptor Dreadnought - Finished!

Finally finished! I'm super happy with him and to be honest, kinda relieved he's finished. Now I can put myself to work on some other stuff.
I don't think I'll add any more dreadnoughts to my Night Lords force, they're a lot of work to paint and, I daresay this one will be enough of a centrepiece.
I'm fairly confident that after this model, I've learnt a lot about non metallic gold and steel, and the rest of my night lords force will be painted using the same techniques.

On another note, when my Night Lords are finished, I've been inspired by the stories of Barabas Dantioch and Kyr Vhalen - the loyalist elements of the Iron Warriors legion. One day, I'd love to put together a IVth Legion siege style army with that background. I'd want to paint them with a realistic approach, true metals and rust, grime and weathering included. This is some way off though, as I'd love to finish at least 1-2 thousand points worth of VIII first.
Anyway, I hope you all enjoy this :)

Cutter Complete!

So after about 10 hours of work, Panoceania's scariest TAG is finished.

I used a couple of unfamilar techniques in this that will carry onto the rest of my infinity stuff. Non metallic metal of two varieties was a really interesting and enlightening technique for me as I've never used it or considered using it before. I suppose my technique and formula will improve as time goes on. But for a first attempt - I'm happy.

Object source lighting is something I've always loved. I didnt really have the opportunity to use it to its full potential on the cutter, but I think that where I used it, it really had quite an effect. I like a green glow on the red background for its contrast value - the effect is striking.

The base is made with balsa wood and plaster for smoothing. I think that has a really good value for concrete. The rough stuff is just textured brown paint with a couple of washes (nuln oil and secret weapon stone wash). The base fits the theme for my terrain project (the kickstarter one).

Next in line is sculpting cloaks for the dark eldar and moving on with some more infinity stuff - ORC trooper with multi rifle, nisses and hexas with sniper rifle and spitfire respectively.

I hope you all enjoyed this - don't hesitate to ask any questions about it!
