Trying out the colourscheme for the dreads.

I dont know... maybe its a bit...green.
A darker shade of green would pherhaps be better?

It looks good as it is, but I think a darker shade of green would look better on the Dread.

Hello, maybe you can paint the dread all green and put a white line across, like rhino schemme.
Or the middle of the dread can be painted green.

I like the schemme

Hi!

I find it great as it is. I find in epic scale some brighter colors brings out the model better.

Thanks fo the feedback.

In my army, all armour (i.e. rhinos, landraiders, Titans etc.) is mainly green with some white spots while the infantery are mainly white with some green spots.

When painting the dread I was thinking that since the dread is a nearly deceased marine, still living in his great armour it would be appropriate to maintain the "mainly white"-policy of the infanteries.

so thats why he is mainly white, while my rhinos are mainly green. What im worried about is that the green on the dread is a lot brighter than my rhinos. While this is also true regarding the infantery, since they have such small areas being green its not really obvious.

Alas, I have completely forgotten what greens I have used on the rhino, since its been a year or two from painting these.... arrgh, the agony. I guess I have to settle with this or try again.

Thanks againg for your feedback.

Unless the photos are really not showing the difference I would leave it as it is also. As Primarch says, the smaller the mini the brighter the colour needs to be to look right.
Personally I think they are to your usual fantastic standard.
