Gomez Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 I first put this guy together waaaaay back in 1997, modified him with a Furioso arm in 2001, then added the buzzsaws and sarcophagus cover and greenstuff and miscellaneous goodness around 2002. About a month ago, I finally started painting him. I still have a few things to touch up and a rough looking banner to paint, but here he is - comment and critique are appreciated!

Irabrai Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Brilliant work, the buzz saws are simply amazing, as well as the sarcophagus. The one thing i dont like are the 2 chainswords under the sarcophagus, i just think they dont belong there imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trajan Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 11 years from start to finish? just kidding ;) He looks good, one thing though, the saw´s lacks something, perhaps a little blood? <_< -Trajan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draakur Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Looks fantastic man <_< The painting and detail work (scrolls etc) are solid, and the pair of double saws make for really cool DCCWs. Does he have a name? I'm forced to agree about the chainsword blades, they look pretty tacked on and out of place to me, but otherwise he's great. Wondering about the astartes helmet as a trophy though, not sure how well that would go down really, unless it used to belong to a recently turned renegade or something maybe...

I painted him to be a Death Company dread, and I always pictured him charging straight into tanks or other walkers, and I wanted something mounted front and center that would churn right into armor while he whacked away with the buzzsaws. I originally had spiky halberd-like blades there. Re: marine helmet... If you look closely, it's got some pustules popping out on it. The rhino I painted for these guys has a few Nurglish trophies, so I wanted something here to carry on the theme. 11 years from start to finish? just kidding Heh. You're telling me. I haven't played a game of 40K since 2nd edition, but I've been painting off and on for 20 years. I keep thinking maybe I'll get a viable army painted, but really I just take too long to paint, and I don't have that much time to devote to it. It's a bad combination. Anyway, thanks for the feedback. I'll try to wrap up his banner here and post it ASAP. G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yogi Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Fully sweet! I think the chainswords are great they remind me of tusks. Obviously the CCW are cool. And I love the flesh teares symbol, I tried to paint that a long time ago and it was really difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honda Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Overall, I say he looks excellent. The modeling alone is definitely two thumbs up and you can count me among those that think the chainswords are cool. I don't know that I would have done the DCCW's in the bone color. That strikes me as non-metallic for a piece of equipment that seems like it has to be some sort of metal. All in all, a brilliant piece of work, no matter how long it took. It was worth the wait.

Scar Weaver Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 That is sick! Perfect dread for FT. Where'd you get the saws? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gomez Posted October 20, 2008 Author Share Posted October 20, 2008 That is sick! Perfect dread for FT. Where'd you get the saws? They're from an Ork dread - got 'em back when bitz ordering was still alive (sigh). G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Thanks for the feedback. I debated a long time about what color to do the saws. The other blade weapons and chainswords in my little army are all that color, and in the end I decided to go with a unified look, realism-be-damned.

Nice dread you got there, I also love the trophy on the side of that tank you made. The chainsword tusks look kinda odd, but it's all good.

ironloki Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Very cool. I am loving the bone coloured saws - make's them look very different, and I also like the chainswords on his front. I can imagine him just charging straight into a Carnifex and chewing it up. Where is your sarcophagus from? I simply can't place it *Brain malfunction* and would love to do a similar thing with my upcomming Ironclad :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hacked it in half, top to bottom, then filed the heck out of it to get it to fit reasonably well. G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stargazer Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Thats so cool, not sure bout the chainswords though I also think the buzzsaws could do with a bit of blood but overall awesome!!!!!!!!!!! B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oknights Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 That is an awesome Dread, and it looks like something that would come out of a Flesh Tearers army. Hope you keep up the painting and conversion work, just dont make us wait 11 years for a model of this quality. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apocalyp$e Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 I LOVE the idea of the bladed saw-hands... very cool, very original. Though I have to agree with the members who mentioned the 2 chainsaw blades looking a bit out-of-place... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
