These Forgeworld dreads are not the easiest figs to work with.
I had to resculpt the cowlings where the 4 exhaust pipes connect to the back of the torso. In fact, I have had to do that on all the FW dreads I have painted to this point.
It was fun to paint something that was not a Grey Knights dreadnought, however! I really enjoy working with this color of deep blue.. mostly based on Reaper Amethyst.
Rating: 10 love this awesome color work, im working on my chaplain dreadnought as we speak lol....... what a pain in the ass i had a 2 inch chunk of resin hanging off the rear of the model by the exhaust manifold it took some time to sand it down and get it right
Rating: 9 Man, when you think of the description of Thousand Sons marines as being magically driven automatons with hermetic suits filled with nothing but the essence and dust of their original bearers, the dreadnought is the ultimate form of Thousand Son. Great work.
