  1. That dread looks like he's either running flat out or was just looking down at someone he squished and then noticed a new target. Is that mechwrite red on him?

    The red on the posessed is nice, I like the brighter sections, nice contrast there. There's a ton of detail on them and I can see your paint slowly bringing it all out. I think the white looks a little stark right now, are you going to work with it more? Some purple would be a nice transition and shade.

  3. What are you using for Brass? Dwarf bronze? or are you mixing blood red with gold?

  4. sylovos - ahh ha! here is what i do;

    1-base coat of vallejo model color reflective green #70890. the green base coat helps dull and age the brass. if you want a brighter, cleaner and newer looking brass, base with a terracotta type red brown.
    2-heavy dry brush of vallejo model color brass #70801
    3-mix 1/3rd vallejo model color silver #997 with 2/3rd brass and medium dry brush on the light catching parts of the model.
    4-flip the ratios and do a lighter dry brush on the most light catching parts of the model.
    5-dot the rivets, studs and other spiky, daemony or skully high points with silver.
    6-wash with citadel washes devlan mud. make sure that the high points get a light wash, while the deep and shadowed parts get a heavier portion.

    hope that helps.
