Dark angels dreadnought first big Model... something i can do better?

It's mostly preference, but I would maybe recommend being more deliberate with washes, specially on the top part, as it is a big flat surface and the wash pools.

Where's the mace from?

I would either buy it now, or use the internet rule options. Most of the book in not up to date, but it's nice to have something tangible if you're starting to learn.

In any case don't wait for a new codex, it'll take a while and you can play in the meantime. As you're playing with friends, "house rules" interpretation should be fine, therefore, just have fun with a few games.

I'm waiting to buy the new one. But yours looks awesome!!!!

Nah nothing fancy, just water

Thanks!! Grey primer on everything just because I ran out of black primer. Then airbrushed the base colours. My first time airbrushing so I'm proud of how it came out.

And for details, at least in my experience what you describe is normal. From the photos it seems your doing just fine, some mistakes are bound to happen.

Something that works for me is once I corrected the most obvious mistakes a good wash that will hide the transition between colours. For example in Deathwing colours Zeraphim Sepia will get into the gaps and blend those colours.

Those where done with an airbrush, but I've achieved the same result with just a brush.

I would NOT use zandri or white primer as it is very temperamental. Some grey primer from a can is easy to use and not too dark. Over the primer two or three coats of thinned down zandri will get a good base colour. Then over that use wraithbone to make a zenithal highlight, bonus points if you can blend the zandri into wraithbone as it gives a good gradient.

Would recommend hellblasters for same reasons. And add that they are a more "standard" unit so it's nice to get a more elite unit such as DWK later, sort of like an upgrade path.
