Ultramarines Balistus Dreadnought (Part 4)

 This is it, my 2026 Dreadtober Ballistus Dreadnought has had all of it's painting completed! 

Done with paint! 

To get to this point I had to finish the old Ultramarines Blue stage that I only had half done last week. Then I edge highlighted all these blue areas using Fenrisian Grey. The gold areas, mostly the emblems and the trim around the sarcophagus, was base coated with Retributor Gold. The red areas on the weapons were basecoated using Khorne Red, then a thinned Mephiston Red was applied over that.

Those weapons then got a highlight of Wazdakka Red. The gold areas were finished using a wash of Reikland Fleshwash and then highlighted with Stormhost Silver. Stormhost Silver was then used to highlight all of the bults and metal parts and also used to apply a few scratches and scrape effects on a few spots on this model.

The missile warheads were painted with straight Whitescar. Then I painted all the lights and did touch-ups where I thought I needed to. 

And that's the painting essentially done. I will save the decals for next week, which should also give me time to find them.... and finally I will flock up the base.
