Miniature photography showcasing the finished paintjob of a Telemon Heavy Dreadnought miniature.
The dreadnoughts armor is painted black with strong highlights, giving it a shiny quality, while those light reflections are painted to have a blue hue to them on the figures left side and a purple hue to its right. The pauldrons are made to look blue, however it blends into lower value purple the further it's turned away from the angles the light sources are coming in. Decorative details, like aquila symbols on chest and limbs as well as different forms of filigree are made to look silver. Accent details, like some glow effects, the eye and headlight lenses as well as the rocket tips showing through in the rocket battery placed on top of the dreadnought, are painted in bright magenta, which is slightly shaded with violet. Different heat effects, like the exhaust vents on its backside are glowing dimly in orange and red.
For the basing I went with a black/dark rock slab look with carved in runes that glows in a blue-green-yellow color blend, which also lights up the bottom-facing parts of the dreadnought according to that osl. The rest of the base is decorated with gnarled branches, crystal shaped rocks, tufts, an agave plant, a skull and a snake in hiding.
The photography was done in front of black fabric background and has a very low opacity CryoCheese icon in the bottom left corner.
The miniature is produced and sold by Games Workshop, formerly by ForgeWorld.

I'm calling her finished!
It took 15 streams of roughly 6h of painting each, so ~90 hours total.
The color scheme is a custom one I chose 5-6 years ago for all my Custodes, but I think it still holds up nicely.
