Warhammer 40K: Dark Talon and AOBR Dreadnought. The work so far

Just a little post on what I have done so far on the Dark Talon and the Dreadnought from AOBR since I have had some progress on this in the last several months..

Dark Talon
 
 
 
 
Painted interior
The unit was primed and basecoated with a mix of 2 part Abbadon Black to 1 part Eshin Grey. The grey icons are basecoated with Eshin Grey while the Ravenwing symbols were painted painted white. The interiors were done prior to gluing all of them together.

The next step will definitely to drybrush the entire model with Dawnstone especially on the edges.

AOBR Dreadnought
 
 
 
 
Got this model from ebay as part of the AOBR marine's collection which I got along with a buddy of mine. I took the Dreadnought and he had the rest. I wanted this guy mainly for the multi melta to swap around with my existing Venerable Dreadnought, which only then I realised that they do not even fit. Looks like forgeworld for me then. Also, while I have no confirmation that Deathwings are only having Venerables, I decided to assign it to Deathwing anyway.  I had it done to this point 3 months plus ago. Only a few minor touch up need to be done especially on the purity seals and the banner.

This unit was previously primed blue for the Ultramarines previously. Since the layer was thin, I decided to just go ahead and basecoat Ushbati Bone over it and proceed from there. The work done on this units is probably better detailed if compared over to the Venerable Dreadnought. I may just revisit and improve it at a later date.

It's great that you are painting the inside of the cockpit as attention to little details such as this can make a miniature come to life!

Thanks. Was inspired to paint the interiors after seeing someone's Ravenwing Bike Squad where he actually painted a targeting reticule on the bike's scanners. Made me realise that these matters.

Besides, it feels incomplete if I do not paint it. XD
