It works particularly well on the hip joint. There are still areas I can’t decide how to paint but I’ve no doubt my decision will crystallise green or bronze without delay when the time comes.
The weapons also got their highlights, I even had an Imperial Knight Icarus array that got a quick highlight. I will regret not pursuing the Deathwing Knights in parallel but that would dismiss my feelings that it would be too much to take on simultaneously and despite the metals being the same the application requires a different approach. The terminators are much smaller and need more care, whereas this thing is a beast and I can just slap it on and any issues can be covered up with battle damage. It’s actually quite a freeing experience.
The sponging is so rough and ready but the shade wash will balance it all together. I’m sure red casings like the ‘eavy metal studio army would be so pedestrian for me now. I considered having a bit of green on it but there’s something about a Dread that I did with Brother Cask [shares link then realises there are no back shots 😔] whereby there is the green armour built over a metal skeleton, much like how Imperial Knights would be presented.
So I was already imagining the paint scheme years before I did Euronymous or knew Imperial Knights would be a thing.
Those weapon arms drip with weighty metals. Great aged look.

And I am really digging your dread for Dreadtober. The wear and tear on those weapons looks ace.

I don't know if my subsequent shading and patina removes some of that, we'll see…

Thanks, can;t wait to really crack on with the greens. I've hardly been able to work on it and when I do it all seems to flow too easily. How can my Dark Angels be easy to paint? Ha, ha!
