Update for my Death Company Dreadnought. The body is pretty much complete, now I need to start working on the arms. Did you know that this is actually the first model I’ve sponge weathered? With every new army project I try to introduce new painting techniques or colours I haven’t used before, and sponge weathering was something I wanted to try for quite a while. How do you like my first go at it?

guess you didn't get it…..sponge weathering…..spongebob? german theme song?…..ah nevermind 🙂
Oh I'm sorry, I thought it was spam lol.
Haha….no worries. Excellent paint job as usual BTW 😉
Looking good. The pics are coming up a little ovrr exposed on my phone screen so hard to gage if this is out of place. What colour did you sponge on? In GWs colours I'd use ironbreaker and then give a quick edge highlight of runefang steel, or dab of necron compound. Of course you may have done that and it just not showing on my screen.
Keep up the good work.
Yeah sorry for the overexposure. I've applied two coats, first Boltgun Metal (Leadbelcher, Warpaints Gun Metak) with a little bit of black added, second one Chainmail (Ironbreaker, Warpaints Plate Mail Metal). Mimicks the other metal areas, which were basecoated with Boltgun Metal and washed with Badab Black, and then highlighted with Chainmail.
You still have boltgun metal that hasn't dried out!!! You must be some sort of miracle worker because that make that pot of paint much more than three years old.
Just get Army Painter's Warpaints metallics. They are from the same manufacturer of the old Citadel metallics and 1:1 matches.
Still got loads of old hexpots i found in a box in my loft from the 90's still fine to use, bit separated but a good shake with a glass bead in the pot soon fixes that, some are even still sealed. The thing is to pick out any build up in the seal so that you get a good seal when you close the lid. And all my old hex pots were from before i discovered using a pallet never mind a wet one! so i guess the main thing is keeping the seal clear of build up.
