pingo Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Finally I painted the Dreadnought I converted from the Black Reach set (the unpainted version is in this thread). He's got a twin-linked heavy flamer and heavy flamer on the power fist. I stole the fist from the Ironclad and cut the 'fingers' so it gripped the wall. Green stuff was used to create the battle damage on the banner and the exhaust vents are from the Empire Steamtank. Hope you guys like! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lestat Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 I think I have just seen this on the GW site. It looked good there, and looks even better here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LardO'Blood Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Gratz making the GW site! I love how he's tearing the building apart. Might just be me but the flamer stance I find a bit strange, I suppose you can't really do any other pose with it though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LorgarXVII17 Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Wow, simply amazing. A great looking model, its well painted (though its an Ultramarine... a hated Ultramarine) But it looks amazing. Most dreads I see lack a variety of poses. This does not.

Validar Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 At first I thought "whoa, that base is a bit too much" but on the second picture you can really see that the Dread is mashing through a building (with the foot breaking down the wall). I like that you do not overdo the whole scribing thing. It actually looks like a little text on the leg and on the shoulders. Though the entire model is extreemly well painted and well posed, I must say I love the banner the most. It looks like a real banner that has actually seen combat, shooting holes and the heat from the vents melting whatever material the banner is made from. Awesome. On top of this your hand writing is nice and readable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pingo Posted January 27, 2010 Author Share Posted January 27, 2010 Thanks so much for the comments! I'm really pleased that what I was trying to achieve in the movement, banner, and so forth, has come across. I like to have each of my models tell a little story, or give across something of who they are, so it makes me very proud that I seem to have achieved this.

insomniacpyro Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 That's like half of a kool-aid man pose, which just makes it more awesome. Congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scathainn Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 I saw this on the site, it looks awesome. The base especially is very nice, but like insomniacpyro said, it reminds me of Kool-Aid man (but that's not a bad thing :o) OH YEAH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pingo Posted February 1, 2010 Author Share Posted February 1, 2010 Thanks a lot ;) I meant to enter this into Golden Bolter, but the closing date kind of snuck up on me :( Oh well, maybe next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Runner Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Brilliantly done, congrats. :tu: Is the AOBR dread the same size as the normal one? You have compelled me to buy one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pingo Posted February 2, 2010 Author Share Posted February 2, 2010 Brilliantly done, congrats. :tu: Is the AOBR dread the same size as the normal one? You have compelled me to buy one. Yes, it is almost exactly the same. The only size difference I can remember is that the exhausts above the engine are shorter than the normal kit. It's not a versatile as it's basically a front, a back, and two arms, but with some work you can have a lot of fun with it. I think they're pretty cheap to buy, and you can use spare arms from the normal kit, so go for it! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerixis Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Awesome work dude! I used the flamestorm cannon as well for my Angels of Redemption Dread. I either use it as a meltagun or an Inferno cannon, although sometimes my opponent is nice enough to let it function as a Flamestorm cannon!
