The weekend was spent getting all of the subassemblies for the Saturnine Dreadnought base painted. At this stage the paint job is fairly basic as it is just metals and some blue black armour panels. I am pretty sure I could take this to any number of legions, Ultra marines, Raven guard, Iron hands, Night lords and Space wolves by just adding the appropriate complementary colours. I am really tempted to try this at some point. But not this time. This will be a First Legion Dark Angels dreadnought, so the next step is to add some checker patterns, split heraldic shields etc... all the parts that makes the mind see this as a jet black canopy instead of a blue or grey. Also, once the weathering goes on the black will be really black. This is the thing with colour theory and contrast.
Looking good!
