Anatoli's Dreadfleet project 30/3/13

Nice paintjob on the evil ship! I still have a box in my drawer, gathering dust... I suppose I should get it out and paint it... sometime.

Nice bit of painting there. Very inspiring.

Superb ship!

IMHO painting ships is really boring (i'm sorry naval gamers), ManO'War vessels are boring to paint, but the Dreadfleet ones are even worse.
The models are really cool, I really like them, I painted the helldenhammer and took me ages (i'm a really slow painter) until the point to be downhearted to paint the rest, someday i should finish that box.
The idea to alternate each ship with something else sounds like a good advice.

I've almost finished my set.  The ships are all done except for the reaver.  I have a handful of small terrain items to paint as well. You are moving much more quickly than me.

those portholes... The horror... the horror..
Nice job Anatoli!

[Anatoli]

Yeah those portholes convinced me not to pick up Napoleonic ships for "Trafalgar" which I had been considering for a long time.

Next ship painted up, the Dwarf ship "Grimnir's Thunder", more pictures on my blog:

Your work looks fantastic, but the details of your pain and suffering have made me glad that I decided not to buy this game. I'd be so annoyed after trying to paint these things that I'd never want to play!

[Anatoli]

In my opinion the best sculpt and most interesting miniature in the Dreadfleet box is the pretty normal looking ghostship - the "Shadewraith".

It was quite easy to paint, basecoated it Khemri brown, then drybrushed it with a lighter tone to get some contrast. Then washed it heavily with a mix of Green Ink, Dark Tone, Devlan Mud and Soft Tone colors then highlighted it with white.

At first I didn't like the colors, but then I noticed those greens (I think they're less visible in this first photo) and I must say I love it!

[Axtklinge]

Lovely paint job!

The Skabrus painted up, this is the "undead Skaven" warship made out of a seamonster which ate a Skaven fleet.

Seadrake is the High Elf warship, accompanied by two dragons which can be used as this ship's auxiliary units. This is the fastest ship of all, and it can almost turn on a penny with its superb handling characteristics. Being equipped with bolt throwers only, the ship can only ever target and kill enemy crew, no other damage can be inflicted.

The Skabrus looks especially mean! Love the Grimnir's Thunder too, don't suppose you could get a ruler out and post her dimensions? Thinking about putting together a Dwarf fleet for Man O War and she'd be an awesome flagship.
