Otherwise known as the Bloody Hard paint job….. The Bloody Reaver was the ship I wanted to save until I’d had some ‘practice’ – reason being, this is the largest, most demanding ship for Dreadfleet, and, ultimately the hardest paint job for me yet. The Reaver is filled with detail, from the wrecks comprising… Continue reading Dreadfleet – The Bloody Reaver

Dreadfleet – Painting the Shadewraith
Hi. I’m Kai (he who owns the blog’s other half :D)- and I’m painting some of the Dreadfleet stuff. Normally all I am is a writer, so painting and writing up guides is a new one on me, but here goes 😉 The Shadewraith ship seemed to be the easiest of all of them… Continue reading Dreadfleet – Painting the Shadewraith
Dreadfleet – Storm Clouds and Bones
The Windguage – Storm Clouds, Fate, Ghosts and Treasure For me, Dreadfleet has a huge potential to be a very pretty set, I’m not just talking about the ships, or the islands, but alsos the tools to make the game work. with this in mind, I decided to get on and paint the windguage.… Continue reading Dreadfleet – Storm Clouds and Bones
The Seadrake – Dragons + Ships
First off, I HATE painting light colours, by light colours I mean pale colours such as white, yellow, etc. It’s why I play Necrons, Imperial Guard and Blood Angels – I use strong dark colours in all of my armies. So tackling the Seadrake, was always going to be a pain for me. Looking at the… Continue reading The Seadrake – Dragons + Ships
Grimnir’s Thunder – the Alliance’s carrier
So in my previous post, I discussed how I painted the blimps of the Grimnir’s Thunder. Here I’ll discuss the ship itself…. Grimnir’s Thunder is the armour tank of the alliance and one of two (arguably the only true) carrier of the Alliance’s fleet. She’s a behemoth of metallics and if WD 382 is to… Continue reading Grimnir’s Thunder – the Alliance’s carrier
Grimnir’s Thunder – Fun with Blimps
When I decided to paint Grimnir’s Thunder I was expecting to have an easy job – I mean look at it…. It’s just greens, and metallics (and base which is pretty easy tbh – see my earlier post on how I do these). Little did I realise that it’s a tad more complicated than I… Continue reading Grimnir’s Thunder – Fun with Blimps
Dreadfleet – Painting the Skabrus
After finishing the Skabrus base, it was time to get on with painting the zombie giant fish itself (again, majority of this was from following details in WD 382 but I did deviate here or there as colours – and my paint supplies demanded). I started with a Chaos Black undercoat and brushed Deneb Stone… Continue reading Dreadfleet – Painting the Skabrus
Dreadfleet – Painting the Skabrus base
In my previous post on painting water, I said the effect should be fine for all of the bases bar the Skabrus, and here’s why. Unlike the other bases, the Skabrus has ‘organs’, you see the Skabrus is a giant undead, zombie fish, crewed by undead Skaven…. so we need to not only pick out… Continue reading Dreadfleet – Painting the Skabrus base
The Stormraven – Part 2
Continued on from Stormraven – Part 1. After the base coat, it was time to use the airbrush to re-coat the exterior surfaces with Blood Red, and time to start work on the interior detailing such as the seating and the screens. Once again, GW’s Guide provided some excellent tips, especially on gem effects for screens –… Continue reading The Stormraven – Part 2
