wow this is really looking great! How'd you make the second power fist? I'm not familiar with the ironclad kit as i don't yet own one. And to think I was just going to spray my old metal furioso black to represent Moriar. Nice job inspiring me!

Some minor advances on the painting, nothing worth mentioning really, however I have just mocked him up using blu-tac to get an idea of how the model will look.

Will you layer some white over the "chest" eagle and chapter symbol as he is still WIP? Then he´d be even more awesome. :)

 

 

Most likely i will, just the very tips to make them stand out. The paint is still very much WIP, but light wasn't to great today so instead of painting him more I just tacked him together to get idea of poses. Still lots to do with the paint, banner, target lenses, search light, 'X' symbols and highlights :o but I am happy with him so far.

Now I have decided on the pose I just need to work on the details. This isn't a massive update, been too busy gigging for much painting but I have a little shot of how my gems and lenses are coming.

did you make this with one ironclad or did you have to buy 2?

 

 

I had to get hold of some extra bitz. I got a spare CCW arm from the Ironclad kit online and the front plate is also a spare from the regular dread kit. As well as additional resin pieces from FW like the skull and purity seals.

My girlfriend was over this weekend so while I didnt get much painting done I took advantage of her digital camera and took some better pics of this project.

After getting some good painting time in Moriar is now looking like this...

I have NEVER tried freehand before, so the banner looks a little ropey for now, but I think I can sort it before the finish.

The freehand is definately fine for a first attempt! There are only minor tweaks, the slightly irregular shape of the skull, but even while being WIP it looks great!

 

haha, yeah it looks a little plague marine shaped! I am gonna make lots of tweaks to it till it looks a little more sure of itself

Looking sweet. It is amazing that just a few upgrade bits and the dramatic pose make it look really different than the ironclad. Although they did not include the named DC Furioso you can still run the DC furioso – and your effort deserves the name "Moriar" and the honor of his namesake.

I have been slowly tackling the daunting task of my first real freehand attempts. I am going for the simple tasteful but effective approach. With a little neatening up I think I can get a good result. Here is what I got so far:

Yeah this dude is purely DC. I had a revelation when the IC dread was released (but before the rumour of the BA codex was released) that Moriar, the very reason we have DC Dreads never had a proper model. The metal furioso was kind of generic so I wanted to revive him with a new model and my first real conversion. I am really happy how he is coming along...Even if it is a little slow.

haha, what can I say I dont own the codex yet. I haven't played a game (save a sample of 5th ed earlier this year) in about 8 years...I am a little behind on the times. I got into the painting side of things again after starting Horis Heresy novels about 2 years ago. The new dread I have pics of here with the disputed talons is listed in the codex as Moriar?
