Dreadfleet Commission-- Update 3

Well with the holidays and and active job search going its been a while since my last update.  However, Ive by no means been idle.  I finished the other 5 ships from dread fleet and am closing in on finishing up my first commission.  I played around with some water effects for the bases and they turned out great.  After I get all the bits and extra playing pieces done Ill do a nice photo shoot to keep some photos for posterity.  In the meantime enjoy:

The Swordfysh.  I was actually looking forward to painting this one the least but as it turns out this was my favorite to paint.  Black and silver turned out really well and I am very happy with the way the molded details on the sails came out.

The Skavrus.  A huge sea creature reanimated through necromancy.  This turned out exactly how I hoped.  It looks absolutely foul.  Plus I even got the chance to paint some viscera and other fluids leaking out of it into the waves.  This mini was really cool and I might try and get one off of ebay just to paint and collect.

The Ironbreaker.  A classic looking dwarf ironclad style ship, the colors worked really well next to each other.  Plus the interior details were fairly easy to paint.  I particularly liked the dirigible and it turned out well.

The Black Kraken.  This one was easy to paint with lots of smooth panels and washes but turned out well.  I particularly like the contrast of the very blue water against the dark, corroded metal look of the hull. 

And Last but not least the Curse of Xandri.  The tomb king ship provides an interesting contrast from the rest of the "Evil" side of the game as it has a fair number of bright colors.  Plus its got a style all its own and really stands out.

 That is about it for now but keep your eyes peeled here for the full photoshoot in the next few days.
