titan136 Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 FURIOSOS! :D I've got a couple more AOBR dreads to convert up, but all in all i'm planning to have 6 furioso dreadnoughts in my collection http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j232/ultramarines/Blood%20Angels%20Commission/furiosos.jpg I'll be painting these guys over the next couple of weeks so stay tuned!

Doctor Thunder Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Very nice indeed. How did you get the metal right arms? Is there some place that sells just them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeller Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Are those banner pole banners around the gyro? We demand closeups of the claws! <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titan136 Posted October 6, 2008 Author Share Posted October 6, 2008 Doc Thunder: at the last games day i bought one of these bits bags full of discontinued metal bits and got like 6 dread right arms, so i'm using them all up to make furiosos :blink: Zeller: yep, i found banner pole banners are the perfect size for dreadnought tabbards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother SRM Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 I'm gonna have to steal that idea for the dreadnought tabbards! I've got tons of the things lying around, and it'll be a nice change for my dreads! Nice conversion work too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sigismund's Fury Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 I've seen those claw/fingers before on your dreads(great work btw) just wondering what they are exactly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santoro Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 I've seen those claw/fingers before on your dreads(great work btw) just wondering what they are exactly? Looks like the spiky rack you got with the (old?) chaos vehicle accessory sprue, if im not mistaken. +EDIT+ Come to think of it, aren't those just the tops of fantasy Ork spears?

ironloki Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Wow, simple yet very cool ;). I must steal those Talons idea and the tabards! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravenheart Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Very cool. Now start painting! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titan136 Posted October 7, 2008 Author Share Posted October 7, 2008 The claws are made from the spiky ram on the chaos vehicle sprue. i bought quite a few a while ago because i was going to use them for spears. Very cool. Now start painting! Yessir! http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j232/ultramarines/Blood%20Angels%20Commission/furioso1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Nugz Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 I have a question: How exactly did you manage to scrape the pole from the banner out from the back. Did you just use a knife and a file/dremel? Good job on the right arm. Both look like the terrifying death machinations they are suppsoed to be. No stubby dread fingers for you.

Brother Plasticard Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 I love these dreads so much, I am going to make a couple for my armies. Great painting! Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titan136 Posted October 8, 2008 Author Share Posted October 8, 2008 thanks for the comments guys! yeah the banner was simply cut down with a hobby knife. first dread done! http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j232/ultramarines/Blood%20Angels%20Commission/furioso11.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathar the great Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 maybe it's just the picture but the gold and the white on the sarcophagus could use another wash or something. apart from that, great conversion, great paintjob. and the tabbard-idea is, of course, stolen ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Plasticard Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Simple conversion + great painting = great looking model! It is great, I really like claws...very very stolen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeller Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Loving the red. :tu: I don't see anything wrong with the sarcophagous. (SP) Perhaps my paint-foo is weak? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathar the great Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 I don't see anything wrong with the sarcophagous. (SP) Perhaps my paint-foo is weak? it's just my personal opinion. maybe I have seen too many pimped NMM gold surfaces and can't accept a nice painted metallic one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JekCromium Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Could you put up a pic of the back of the dread? I'm having a real hard time figuring out what is black/red/metal on the back of my AoBR BL Dread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Is it me or should there be an exhaust stack from the dread power pack poking up from the back? That aside, very very nice paint job, and intresting conversion with the spiky rammy bits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orktemplar Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 The AoBR dread doesn't have the taller exhaust stacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titan136 Posted October 12, 2008 Author Share Posted October 12, 2008 I've finished my second furioso! Only 4 more to go: http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j232/ultramarines/Blood%20Angels%20Commission/both_furiosos.jpg Here are 3 of the remaining 4 furiosos, waiting to be converted and painted http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j232/ultramarines/Blood%20Angels%20Commission/FW_Furiosos.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuriousFerret Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Excellent work! Suggestion? Why not add a bit of space between the dreadnought body and the arms? For a blood-mad killing machine, the standard model seems to offer very limited opportunities for the dread to swing its giant claws around. I've seen several people add perhaps 5-15 mm of tubing, pins, pennies, whatever, to get a bit of elbow room in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Morkar- Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Very nice dreads you're doing. How did you make the blue paint job? looks awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
