I love the Dreadknight model, I really enjoyed painting this monster of a model. I opted for a heavy psycannon and Nemesis Great Sword. The sword alone took me 5 and a half hours to paint by hand (no airbrush). The armour was painted by mixing blue wash into Vallejo Game Colour Silver to give a blue metallic and then blended up to silver. Giving a very shiny blue steel feel to the armour. I love the contrasts with the oily aged pistons and hydraulics and the darker gun metals.

Nice shine blue machine. The sword is amazing. Can feel the energy. *tzzzush* 🙂
this is amazing, it doesn't even look real!
Stunning. The work on the sword is amazing, considering it was done by brush.
The dreadknight looks really good. I am curious why you didn't try using the airbrush for the sword? You have just started airbrushing I believe. Les Bursley has a tutorial on his space wolves video that shows how to do it pretty quickly.
I've been using an airbrush for a few years now. I could have airbrushed the sword and blended the colours, but where's the fun in that? 😀
