Dreadfleet - The Black Kraken

An easy model this, at least to paint to my standard.

Metal parts are painted with Leadbelcher and with Warlock then Dwarf Bronzes.

I used some Guilleman Blue shade on the tentacles  to try to indicate they are wet, having recently risen from the depths.

Perhaps another glaze all over or a coat of gloss varnish?

The drips are Enchanted Blue with white added as a highlight.

The Black Kraken is captained by the dwarf engineer Tordek Hackhart and not a lot of people know that.*

*This is in no way a reference to the Caine Mutiny.

Dreadfleet - Grimnir's Thunder 2

I thought I'd finished with this nice little model, having decided not to wash the silver, but I see there is painting yet to do.

I often spot missed areas only when I've seen them on screen - a different angle, so to speak.


I'll stop the next model (The Black Kraken) and come back to this one for a mo.

There's the area of fore starboard railings to do  and perhaps some silver highlighting on both the hull and the eagle on the bow.

It would be nice to have the split in bow and cannon repaired but I'm worried that I'll cause more harm than good.

Still, she's not very seaworthy with that great split there.

Caulking with tar ropes isn't it?
