Very nice dread!
Can't wait to see it finished!

I recently ordered the SM Chaplain in Terminator armour..simply because, IMHO, it's the best Marine miniature in the whole range....

It'll be good to do a hero miniature for once. I'll be looking for stark, harsh, blunt criticism, as I want to do my absolute best on this miniature.

Very goos job on the Dreadnought, though I'd suggest giving the edges one fine highlight of codex grey. I also like they way the clothes turned out, these marines look great in a group, keep it up

Great metallics on that 'naught I sure would like to see some close-ups on armour and legs

Thanks for the compliments everyone!

@ Viruk, I'll probably be doing that. Recently got some Windsor and Newton brushes with a much finer tip than GW's fine detail brushes so I think I feel brave enough for some very extreme highlights. The commissioner said he'd like a bit more contrast on the black, so I'll do that.

@ Wiktor thanks! I'll post close-ups with the next update.

that black and white colour scheme looks great.
and your attention for details makes it even better.
looking forward to the close ups.
one note: isn't the white on the big machine guy (sorry for my lack of 40k education ) a bit to white compared to the marines.
really love the snow base

Got some work done on the Chaplain.



Harsh, blunt criticism wanted! I want to do my absolute, absolute best on this.

Wow! That is easily some of your best work, it's simply fantastic. You're becoming a simply fantastic painter, Josh! The skull in particular stands out as one of the best painted skulls I've seen. The blending is just so smooth. I also really like the decorative wings, as they also have a very smooth transition. The only area that could perhaps use a bit more contrast is the parchment, but even that looks great as is. Great work, Josh!

Thanks Josh! Comments like yours truly are the best inspiration...I must go paint more in a moment!

I'm glad you like it I agree on the parchment, it needs a tad more contrast, mainly darker shading. I'll finish it and hopefully do the armour in the next update

So far awesome mate I'll keep bugging you for close ups on details When dealing with heroes it's just 'a must do"

Skull is amazing One tip, drill holes in gun's barrel

Wiktor....you seriously don't know how much that means coming from you...

I really need to get a pin vice for drilling holes. Probably I'll pick one up on my next trip to the hardware store.

@ GildorPl thanks, I'll upload a bigger pic next time

If I get much closer my camera (a Kodak FTR) takes blurry pictures, even on the close setting. But I've cropped the photo to show only what I've done so far....this is about the best I can do.





Hmmmm....these closer pictures show me what I need to do next....the shin eagle, bell and purity seals all need highlights

Skull is great. Red parts could be lighter because i didnt see them when i was looking at this picture.
Nice progress mate!

Im looking forward to see this guy finished. Black armor is quiet difficult part to paint. Do your best, we dont know the meaning of word " mercy"
Have a nice day!

PS Sorry 4my English

Thanks! Yeah, the red needs highlights..it's just based with Mechrite Red right now.

No worries on the english, I literally wouldn't have known it wasn't your first language if you hadn't told me. We have a lot of americans here and elsewhere who make a lot less sense

Great work, it looks even better up close! I agree with Gildor, the red could use an extra highlight to make it pop a little more. The areas you mentioned also could use an extra highlight or two. Fantastic work Anduril, this is most definitley your best model so far.

P.S. Your English is great, Gildor.

I agree, this is shaping up to your best yet. I really, really, like the skull, I find it hard to paint bone and you did a great job of it. There is also a hint of an expression on the scull, it makes him more menacing.

I got one more, small commission as of ten minutes ago. This guy wants two Space Marine chapter masters he won off Ebay (he has no idea who made them) painted to my highest possible standard....

Here's some pics he sent me of them. They should be at my house within a week, according to the commissioner.





I can't wait to get my hands on these...they look asbolutely awesome, even if the sculpting is sort of meh in places.

They aren't just chapter masters, they are Lion El'Jhonson and Sanguinius, primarchs of the Dark Angels and Blood Angels. I'd love to paint thos minis 0.0.
