I think the molded base gives the Leviathan a few millimetres but take those weapons off and the Leviathan could probably fit under the shoulder mount.
I got a black base coat on the plastic Leviathan tonight with the plan to get the wet blending done on that and Marbas on Saturday.
Yeah, it's a big boy.
I think I've got the blending done well with the green.
Now I've finished it, I can spot a couple of problems with the build.
Those petals on the plasma bombard are a bit fragile and I lost 2 of them during painting, and I had the end the wrong way when I started painting it.
I would be happy to get another one.
So the 2nd Leviathan and the Chaplin to paint and the Bjorn Brutalis to build, I'm not stopping at the 12th this month, I'm running this Vow to the 20th as I'm off to my dad's for an early Christmas lunch there on the 21st.
I wasted half a cup of coffee as I got the blending done on him.
Sundays plan is to get the metallic areas done, red details, plasma glow and probably magnets in the elbows after everything else is done.
I quite like the the big boy.
As a random upcoming thing in the Combat patrol series I've got the Deff Dread and now the Killa Kans, for completion sakes I'm going to do these and as something different I'm going to paint them for the Bad Moon Clan
I'm off Friday and Saturday this week, as well as Wednesday, so 3 days off, I need it, I've got a very big task coming up at work.
The fabled Plan A; Friday build the Satanine Dread and get the plastic Leviathan into a paint ready state. Check my paint storage for Abbadon black, zoom up to Wigan if needed & there's time. Base coat 3 dreads and the Terminators, iron warrior on the trim, nuln oil was on the trim. Saturday start on the wet blending Marbas armour, the Satanine Terminators & dread and the Leviathan. Hopefully I can do everything or I'll just overwhelm myself and play Red Dead Redemption 2 for hours while I tell myself I should be painting.
Got those quad autocannons finished today,
As well as finishing the base off. As I've got the dread box down I got a photo of the old version. I'd also forgotten I had the Deredo dread in there.
It's nice to have this finished and the resin version is really nice to paint.
It's not exactly scientific, but 3 blobs of black to 1 blob of Caliban green, then slowly adding more Caliban green as I went along.until it was nearly all Caliban Green, and got the body and legs done at the same time, I forgot to do the actual shoulders though, so had to redo from a near black to green on those after it was finished.
This wet palette should definitely make the Satanine Terminators easier to highlight.
So after I took the ' break' to bake 2 cakes and 18 muffins, I got back to the Leviathan Dread and start looking at magnets in the elbows.
I glued the large magnet in one elbow and then tried it on the quad cannon and it fitted nice and snuggly onto the joint, no magnet needed. Which is nice...
I noticed the bit on the left side were I came to far out with the green, I guess I'm just going to have to either touch up when I do the next Dread or leave the black touch up I put in there.
Plan for Wednesday, get those cannons finished, add the tilt shield with the coat of arms from the little dread. Get a photo of them both together.
There's a bit of work on the spot lights and tiny skulls and I was waiting for some magnets for the guns, the weapons elbow are getting a magnet to make it easier to move. Both of these builds are getting this treatment.
This has been a nice mini to paint, this is the Forge World Leviathan, the plastic version is still unpainted.
