The rust isn\'t as bright as it looks in the photo. When I took a picture without a flash, it looked like I hadn\'t painted any rust on. With a flash, it looked brighter, so I chose the lesser of two evils ( I hope). I only have a fluorescent desk light, so that isn\'t much use either.
The armour in general looks too clean, but don\'t know what to do to make it look dirtier. I\'ve already put some brown ink washes over it a few times. Any suggestions?

@ vincegammer - Hi Vince. I like what you did with the smoke and the eye. As to the questions you PM\'d me - it takes some small, very sharp scissors and gently pulling the piece you are trying to cut out and clipping it \'down in\' to get a deep, clean cut. What you have isnt that far off. The OVERALL shape could be a bit more reandom.
Painting the smoke - I wouldnt recommend ink. It\'s too thin. When I said to get it wet with the yellow I ment to have it DAMP, not dripping. Once you have the yellow in you can use a bit of thicker paint but use a stiffer bristle brush to SCRUB in the orange/red/brown/black. The initial dampness will help with blending. Sometimes I will go back with thick yellow and put some touches in the crevices to \'kick the glow up\'.
The eye is well painted but what is hindering the real glowing of it is what surrounds it. You DONT NEED TO GO TO BLACK, just darker than the eye. You also dont need to darken the whole mini. With a little finesse you can darken the face till it\'s darker that the eyes, the rest of the head not so dark and from the neck down normal. It\'s something that needs to be (in a compositional way) blended in with the overall scheme. Remember - You dont have to get the surrounding area real dark, just darker than the lightness of the eyes.
Try that and repost a WIP.

Slaanesh Dreadnought Conversion - Almost Done?
Starting to think I\'m almost done with this one. Mutated hull and las cannon per the army list. I still want to do some work to make the claw look a little less like sprue scrap.
Suggestions? Feedback? Please?

i would sort the claw out in the painting stage.
make it look weathered and battered.
it will add to the effect of it being ill repaired due to being in/or around the eye of terror.

in the second pics: there are more highlightings on the kneepad but the angle of the pic is really poor and doesn\'t show them

sanjay....... thats just mean!!!! *runs away crying*
look up at my other post theres a link with the finished army (so far... need 2 buy more!... (this army will never be truely done lol))For my next crazy plan I\'ll definatly post a WiP. I\'m making a new Daemon Prince as a stand alone project (as opposed to the 30odd Cadians I still have to paint). I\'m basically using the Daemonhost mini minus the Inquisition logos and loads of strands of barbed wire bursting out of the ground at his feet and whipping arround him.
Name the film(s) I\'m ripping off and win a cookiee!

Tony: INCREDIBLE each day it´s more spectacular.
Here it´s Tanath, is nearly to be finished. I´m sorry about the photos cause in my city it´s being cloudy all the week so I can´t take good photos.
