ecuring quality painting time this week has been a bit of an uphill struggle. However I did manage to find some time to sit down and work on the rest of the islands, shipwrecks and sea-bases for Dreadfleet this evening.

The sculpted bases are one of the many little details I really like, having seen similar on some of Spartan’s Dystopian Wars miniatures. The Dreadfleet ones in particular are so well textured they are almost entirely foolproof to paint if you follow Games Workshop’s guide, which is pretty much what I did with the exception of a couple of minor tweaks.

As I had primed the bases in white, the Regal Blue basecoat comes out a lot bolder and brighter. To counter this and bring back some contrast I followed this with a wash of Badab Black, so the five stages ended up as follows.
