KolliIronbear Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Alright. I've been gone for a little while. But lately I've restarted work on a project I've been killing time with... A pyre dreadnought. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v131/Nokarot/Kolli%20Stuff/DreadFront.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v131/Nokarot/Kolli%20Stuff/DreadLeft.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v131/Nokarot/Kolli%20Stuff/DreadRight.jpg Now please realize that this model is extremely work in progress. But i have a question to ask. the black on each side of the sarcoghagus (sp?) needs to be painted. Or does it. Do you think i should turn it Orange, or leave it black? The brown scrap o stuff on him is going to be painted as patchwork skins, and the crux terminatus he's got on his left side isn't done at all either. I need an opinion on that as well. In any event. Comments and criticisms are greatly appreciated! And looking now. I see a very happy "demon" face on the dread's left shin guard. I think I'm going to toss on a bone coloured eight-pointed star. I tried the demon faces. And that one just didn't work. Kolli ++Edit++ Alright. I feel as though I need to clarify things. One of those things is that my chaos marines are almost always not at all chaos-y. In the fluff of this particular warband they follow the tenants of the alpha legion. Nothing is more chaotic than perverting your enemies symbols, make them doubt the reasons they are fighting. My entire warband is based off the game "Vampire: Bloodlines" malcavians (yes, from the videogame). They have a certain insight on people, and they like to wage psychological war on the imperium. Their entire goal is to kill the emperor in order to force his ascension to godhood. That, and I don't find mindless killers that chaotic. Alpha legion and Word Bearers I feel all the scariest of the legions. Those who can use subterfuge to destroy or convert an entire enemy before slipping away. In the Alpha Legion it's even documented that they've worn completely "Imperial" Ultra-marine armor before opening up on the Ultramarine line. Which is substantially more devastating than merely attacking. Who are your allies. Sorry. That was a rant. To boil it all down. My entire army focuses on subtle chaos emblems etc. I want the army to at first glance, almost look loyalist. That, and i love to do kit bashes - this dreadnaught was originally slated for service as a black templar.... p.s. For those keeping track of my projects... My bright and shiny object syndrome has halted work on my renegade Calgar. I'll start work on him again... When i get this sarcough painted!

KEEPER Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Seeing how it's supposed to be a Chaos Dread, are you going to some how deface the Crux? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drudge Dreadnought Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 I like it, but i feel like the head should be set a bit deeper back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Sha'son Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 agree that the head should be recessed a little. However love the free hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeller Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Keep the sides black. I feel a fully orange dreadnought would be an over powering sight at this stage. This may change as the arms are added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortsonfire79 Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 =-D I think he will make a good Halloween Dreadnought =-D The sarcophagus should stay black, overpowering like Zeller said, and he'll really be orange. I like the orange tone though, good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KolliIronbear Posted October 5, 2009 Author Share Posted October 5, 2009 Alright. a quick update. I think i am going to keep the trim black.. and the crux will be... Modified. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v131/Nokarot/Kolli%20Stuff/DreadAssembledsaw.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v131/Nokarot/Kolli%20Stuff/DreadAssembledCannon.jpg Anyway. I know it's not much progress, but it's some. Till next time. Kolli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IcarusSoulz Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Im not sure Id change the crux much, alittle defiling, but in a a nut shell keeping it whole. Perversion would be a good way to de mroalize things, and the Pyre have a choas loyist confusion anyways, dont they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HVNSNTSOLDIER Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Lemme guess, the Pyre legion? Very nice dread, love the freehand and colour choices. Though it seems to lack the chaotic-ness associated with most engines of war of this type... perhaps more spikes? Grissly trophies? Chaotic runes and icons? Fluff based stuff? Very good start, can't wait to see more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very good start, can't wait to see more! Well, at the end of the day Chaos is more then skulls and spikes. I think the dread is Chaosy enough with the iconography. I have mixed feelings on the head. It looks interesting mounted the way it is, though if it was mounted further back, or housed, terminator style, it would make the model look more solid. Sans that, I think the model is perfect.

UltraRich Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Thats looking really good. I like what you have done with the ammo feed on the body mounted bolter. (I might have to borrow that idea for my dread) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
