Honda Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 So, I've been keeping a low profile, but kept plugging away on these guys and they are finally done. First, the basic AoBR Dread with no mods http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d187/hkowabunga/Apocalypse%20Lords/Dreadnoughts/102508049.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d187/hkowabunga/Apocalypse%20Lords/Dreadnoughts/102508050.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d187/hkowabunga/Apocalypse%20Lords/Dreadnoughts/102508051.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d187/hkowabunga/Apocalypse%20Lords/Dreadnoughts/102508052.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d187/hkowabunga/Apocalypse%20Lords/Dreadnoughts/102508053.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d187/hkowabunga/Apocalypse%20Lords/Dreadnoughts/102508054.jpg Next is "Shooter" (I wonder what that would be in Latin?) http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d187/hkowabunga/Apocalypse%20Lords/Dreadnoughts/102508055.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d187/hkowabunga/Apocalypse%20Lords/Dreadnoughts/102508056.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d187/hkowabunga/Apocalypse%20Lords/Dreadnoughts/102508057.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d187/hkowabunga/Apocalypse%20Lords/Dreadnoughts/102508058.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d187/hkowabunga/Apocalypse%20Lords/Dreadnoughts/102508059.jpg Close ups of the base http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d187/hkowabunga/Apocalypse%20Lords/Dreadnoughts/102508060.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d187/hkowabunga/Apocalypse%20Lords/Dreadnoughts/102508062.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d187/hkowabunga/Apocalypse%20Lords/Dreadnoughts/102508063.jpg I'm really not sure the autocannon conversion came out that well. Initially I really liked it and I got the effect I was after, but I'm still trying to figure out if it works. I'm quite certain that it will make an impression on the battlefield, so I'm pretty sure that at some point in the future, I will make another one of these and maybe try a different configuration for the autocannons. I don't know, let me know what you guys/gals think. The other thing that I noticed is that a lot of the inking is not showing up, so the metal guns look a tad brighter than they really are. ...and, because I was curious what the whole mob would look like, here's some shots of all the dreads. http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d187/hkowabunga/Apocalypse%20Lords/Dreadnoughts/102508066.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d187/hkowabunga/Apocalypse%20Lords/Dreadnoughts/102508070.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d187/hkowabunga/Apocalypse%20Lords/Dreadnoughts/102508071.jpg Should I get the opportunity of getting a sixth dread, I'd really like to get the FW Chaplain dread with two of the close combat arms, carrying two heavy flamers. He would be my Ironclad and would lead the mob. He'd also be painted red if I can figure out where to put the color. Right now, he seems to have a lot of area that I would put bronze on. Anyway, I hope you enjoy them and as always, C&C greatly appreciated.

Cpt Stahl Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Nice dreads, I like the quad-autocannon, and btw, "shooter" in latin is "Sagittarius". Cpt Stahl.

Vassakov Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Huzzah! Awesome models as ever Honda - you have 5 Dreads(?!!) Damn, now I actually need to make two more... My only critiques are very, very minor - personally I feel like the Sarcoughgi (I know that isn't how it's spelt, but nevermind) could do with detailing - the scrolls and skulls picking out. They just look a bit flat to me. Second - no Dreadnought puppet theatre? :huh: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/152282-apocalypse-lords-a-tale-of-two-dreads/#findComment-1773656 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Malachi Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Very impressive, I actually like the quad autocannon conversion you did, looks brilliant.

Honda Posted November 16, 2008 Author Share Posted November 16, 2008 "shooter" in latin is "Sagittarius". Very cool. He shall be so named, though I don't know that I am good enough to get all those letters on the scroll work. :D My only critiques are very, very minor - personally I feel like the Sarcoughgi (I know that isn't how it's spelt, but nevermind) could do with detailing - the scrolls and skulls picking out. They just look a bit flat to me. No, I think you are right. Some of it is flash as I do mix VMC Silver with the Bronze for highlights, but I should probably go back and do a bit more. Good catch. Second - no Dreadnought puppet theatre? Hmm...maybe. I've been so busy of late, I haven't stopped to put my funny filter on. Let me see... you have 5 Dreads(?!!) Damn, now I actually need to make two more... Remember, this is not an arms race...unless we are racing to rip off the arms of heretics and xenos scum. ;) Cheers and thanx for the comments all!

Angels_Blade Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Love them, I need to catch you up. I only have 3 done for my Scorpions! 2 more waiting for completion!

Vassakov Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Love them, I need to catch you up. I only have 3 done for my Scorpions! 2 more waiting for completion! See, Honda... It is an arms race. Either that, or between the three of us we have a serious Dread fetish issue. I just hope FW brings out a shiny new SW Dread soon...

Firenze Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Dang it now if Vass is getting 2 more I need another 3 including a proper mortis.

Honda Posted November 17, 2008 Author Share Posted November 17, 2008 See, Honda... It is an arms race. My oldest son (a SW player also), wants to field 21 someday in an apocalypse game (figure basic cost of a dread / 3000). I have no desire to go there, though we did talk about printing some pictures and gluing them to card just to see what it would be like. :P Anyway, six will be enough for me. I've been fiddling with a 6 dread, MotF, drop pod list and it ought to produce a few chuckles. So, gentlemen, lead on if you will, but my limit is 6 and not another dread more...unless I get weak and somehow finagle a way to get the FW Black Templar dread. I truly get all soft inside everytime I lay eyes on one. What can I say, dreads are just too cool.

Angels_Blade Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Don't stop there, I hear that in the upcoming planetstrike attackers get 6 elite choices and defenders get 6 heavy support. Either way, a marine army with a MOTF will be able to take 9!!! mwhahaha!!!
