DreadTober - Power Fist

 

This week was pretty busy so didn't get to work much on the Dread. I did finish out the power fist and started the repaint of the Volcite to blue instead of the yellow/red. The Volcite is drying so I have the Melta on it for these pictures.



I'm still layering up the base rust so it's getting close to being done. It has a layer drying right now.

He's pretty close to being done.. I'm still figuring out the right shoulder and the left knee pad. Otherwise pretty happy with him.

The DragonForge bases came in so I have been working on those and the EC a bit ..

DreadTober - Powering Up

 

The base layer of Enamels and Oils have been applied and I'm in the process of layering up the rust on the base. Now it's the details and other other adds I'm debating on. 

I'm on the fence with the Volkite .. not sure if I'm feeling the colors. Kind of the same I was feeling about the red-yellow on the sword. It needs more for sure but I'm in debate on if I like it and should continue haha.. I didn't want to just go with the blue-white glow but I might just have to go back to it. I think the colors are just looking weird together. I don't even know how to explain it..  

The side of the Volkite looks better I think.. but still kinda meh.. I'm also thinking about doing something on the right shoulder. Some freehand or something to add a little more to it. Either way the line there is a place holder.

I'll be adding the blue white to the fist though.. the metal is just too plain. I'm going to go low key on the OSL because the arms are replaceable and the glow would have to move haha...

I'm thinking I'll have him done next week.. depending on how much time I have. I have to make my daughters Halloween Costume so that is going to take some of the time.

The DragonForge bases came in so I can start on the EC dread as well. We'll see if I can rock him out as well but things are going to start getting busy.

The effects for the EX Palatine Blades


Yellow or Green... or something else haha ..

10-4 Good Buddy

 

He's fully based out and blended.. he's blended high and is now gloss cleared waiting for the enamels and oils. I've painted so many Raven Guard at this point I can rock them out in pretty quick order. It will be days of waiting for the layers to dry and then I'll be doing a little more details after ..



Once the enamels are applied it will bring the greys back down into blacks. I should have taken some pics before the gloss was applied but forgot so there is a bunch of shine haha whoops.. He's coming along well.. I'll be working on his arms while the oils dry.

A few more pics of the EC Blades..




More work on the NMM and the Saber .. I want to go with something different for the Charnabal Sabers. I dont just want a power weapon glow. I'm still up in the air as to whether I actually like it though. I dont want it to look like fire which now it really has the feel. Maybe I'll change the colors to see if that helps. Who knows haha.. but at least my Dragonforge bases shipped so they should be here soonish ..
