Awesome. I painted one of these a month or two back - great minis to work on. I love those autocannons.

all the bases shown are from dragon forge
As these are the more egg shaped dreads does it make them a clutch of dreadnoughts -------------------- Fortune Cookie Wisdom: Don't use a hatchet to remove a fly from the forehead of your friend

You should all notice that the new dreads are all suffering sever cases of deodorant on black, but you would need lots as well if you had been in a small sweat box for a few hundred years
And there are 5 constructed dreads and no comments, what the hell? -------------------- Fortune Cookie Wisdom: Don't use a hatchet to remove a fly from the forehead of your friend

Current state of the first dread. Helmet, scroll work and weapons still need painting, brass etching still needs to be added and the base needs to be started.
I find that the flash really makes all of the white highlights very harsh  -------------------- Fortune Cookie Wisdom: Don't use a hatchet to remove a fly from the forehead of your friend

@ Mono, have you tried a long exposure time and no flash? I rarely find the flash useful in photographing minis?
Otherwise, looking good. Steve |

timing for taking most of these is somewhere between midnight and 2am, so I need the flash for some degree of light, also these photos are from my phone. When it comes to getting final shots of these guys I will need to look at getting it done differently and may get one of you guys with a light box to do the photos
