Sons of Horus Dreadnought Bakhart Finished

After last time I gave it an burnt umber oil paint pinwash and let dry for three days.

Once dry I sprayed him with Testors Dullcote to remove the shine.

I then used super thinned Tamiya Buff on his lower legs and MIG Industrial City Dirt to weather him with.

Massive 40k Sell-Off,Get the Getting While its Good

Last night while I was seraching an hour for a special bit I had a dreadful realisation.
My Hobby Room looked like an episode of Hoarders.
I have so much stuff that if all I did was paint models all day long I could still never finish them.
So today I stepped out of myself and really went through my models.
There are alot of reallt good models in the pile but I will never ever get to them,the time has come to sell them.
I opened a new E-Bay store BigWill's Big Sell-Off,come on by if you want rare model for bargin basement prices.

Bakhart Pt 3 Painting Finished

I finished the paintjob on the chassis,added the iconography and sprayed him with Glosscote.

I used Burnt Umber oil paints tpick out the rivets lines.

Now he has to dry a few days before I touch him again.

Bakhart Pt 2 Chaos Rising

I had to fix the pose so it did not look like it was falling backward.

I repositioned the leg but had the great idea to keep it off the base so I can paint him properly.

I also chaosfied him

I just got the new Forge World Contemptor Dread today.

I have magnetized the arms so when the assault cannon arm comes out I can switch it out.

Sons of Horus Painting Tutorial

A few of you sent me messages on how I painted my Sons of Horus.

Today I give you the recipe.

You will need the following paints

From Vallejo Panzer Aces line:

Africa Korps Tank Crew(336),Highlight Russ.I Tkcr(329)

From Citadel:

Chaos Black,Boltgun Metal,Scab Red,Blood Red,Scorched Brown,Thrakka Green,Badab Black,Devlin Mud,Asurman Blue

From Tamiya:

Clear Red

Step one give a good solid base coat with Afirca Korps be sure to thin the Vallejo paint well they tend to be thicker than GW in my experience

Step two mix equal parts Thraka Green,Delvin Mud,Badab Black,Asurman Blue and water for a wash that you will coat the model with.

Be sure the wash in concentrated more in the cracks and not on the flat plates on his armor

Step three use a 50/50 mix of Africa Korps and Russian Highlight use this mix to paint your model carefully leaving the base color at the cracks.

Take your time and use thinner paint and more layers to get a good solid finish

Also paint your blacks and reds at this time so you can use the green mix to fix mistakes

Anything you want as a red gemstone like I am doing on the chest and knees paint Blood Red over the Scab red.

Step four paint your metallics with Boltgun Metal and coat the Red gemstones with Tamiya Clear Red.

Paint or decal your unit markings and weapon of choice and you are good to go

Step five(optional)use just the Russian Highlight if you want to paint hard edge highlights
