many thanks for the kind words, it really makes me want to keep painting!
the contemptor was a fun model to paint, I've got ten in total so need a stupidly huge game to ever make use of them all!
I'm planning a blood angels force in the future so may well keep a bunch to convert into death company dreadnoughts....
Painting wise it's quite simple, I sprayed the lot with army painter daemon yellow, then washed them all over with devlan mud (army painter strong tone works too) then I pick out the flat detail in flash gitz yellow, the black is painted black, then highlighted with charadon granite, followed by codex grey, and white edge highlights, depending on the model, I edge either in a 1:2 mix of yellow/white, or just with pure white, I edge quite a bit as I like the texture it gives the model, as well as helping to make them look gritty and dirty and slightly banged up, which marines should definitely be, none of this pristine colour nonsense for me! the details are all freehand, if I could justify spending £12 on a forgeworld IF transfer sheet for about 5% of it, I would add some decals
I then paint on citadel textured paint, astrogranite shade, on the bases, and drybrush with white
the mud/weathering is graveyard earth, drybrushed on, and given a second ink wash on the track sections
