Well, having spent the last few months dabling with Warhammer 40K bits, I decided that James needed his Venerable Dreadnought painted, so set to it.Hopefully you will like it.
Nothing too remarkable in the painting - basecoated in Chaos Black, painted in Space Wolves Grey, then highlighted with a mixture of dry brushing and line highlights. The gold is toned down using Sepia Brown, with a highlight of dry brushed Mithril Silver. The purity seals, scrolls etc are Bleached Bone, washed with Sepia Brown to bring out the creases and folds. One trick I have tried is using a very very fine drawing pen for the text on the Purity Seals - way better than trying to paint it!
The only other technique worth mentioning I guess is on the base, where I have used grass tufts from the model railway fraternity rather than dabs of glue and fiddling with static grass.
Anyway, as I say, hope you like it? I have a host of other painting projects on the go for both of us - Orks and Space Marines - a classic father / son combination. How are we supposed to find the time for all this - as well as school sports, homework, jobs...
