Warhammer 40K: 5th Company Dreadnought Complete

Completed the Dreadnoughts over last night. They could have been completed much earlier if I can get time aside on the dining table to work on them. It is hard to be able to paint these days unless I am pulling an overnighter like last night. (10 pm to 3 am)

I added some iconography from whatever I have in my bit boxes to spice the models up instead of leaving them blank. Got the idea to paint the chapter and company logo on the legs from the web while looking out for ideas to make mortis dreadnoughts.

I have also started working on some space hulk models here and there which gave me an idea of adding photos to my paint method page. The first I will be working on will be the librarian and a standard terminator with storm bolter. I will be adding further to the articles as I worked on them.

The Space Hulk models so far.

 

 

 

I will be focusing on the two models above for the moment to add more contents for my Paint Method page.

 

This model was tough to basecoat with the extra cloths flowing around. On the plus side, less to work underneath it.

 

I decided to add this in my initial list since it would be fun to paint a dead termie too. I did not have this guy in my earlier Death Angel project.

Warhammer 40K: Dark Talon, Tactical Marines, Company Veterans Complete

Just spent the day getting overdue models done, primarily the Dark Talon.

Dark Talon

 

 

 

This took me quite a while to decide how to paint some of the key part especially the white of the wings as unit on the box had a blue tinge towards the tips. Tried to emulate that with Guilliman Blue without success. At least now we have one more major unit out of the to do list. I will be adding some close ups later. Enjoy the closeups below.

 

 

Tactical Marines

Have not quite decided which squad in the 5th Company they will join. Not even sure if they will be devastator or tactical squad. Perhaps at a later time, the accompanying insignia will be painted.

Company Veterans

 

Part of this company will be joining the Command Squad (since the Company Champion is completed). The rest will be assigned to various squad in the 5th Company. Despite having done my roster, I will be assigning them all to specific squads at a later time.

As a preview on the 5th Company roster (1915pt),
- 1st Tactical Squad (1 Plasmagun, 1 Heavy Bolter) (175pt)
- 2nd Tactical Squad (1 Plasmagun, 1 Multi-Melta) (175pt)
- 3rd Tactical Squad (1 Plasmagun, 1 Missile Launcher) (180pt)
- 4th Tactical Squad (1 Plasmagun, 1 Missle Launcher with Flakk Missile) (190pt)
- 5th Tactical Squad (1 Plasmagun, 1 Plasma Cannon) (Dark Vengeance) (180pt)
- 6th Tactical Squad (1 Plasmagun, 1 Lascannon) (185pt)
- 1st Assault Squad (2 Flamer) (190pt)
- 2nd Assaunt Squad (2 Plasma Pistol) (210pt)
- 1st Devastator Squad (1 Heavy Bolter, 1 Missle Launcher, 1 Plasma Cannon, 1 Lascannon) (210pt)
- 2nd Devastator Squad (1 Multi-Melta, 1 Missle Launcher with Flakk Missile, 1 Plasma Cannon, 1 Lascannon) (220pt)

I have yet to decide the exact gear for each of the squad's sergeants. All of them will be veterans for 10 points each.
