mercury Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Back again! This time I thought I would attempt to delight you all with my newly-complete Furioso Dreadnought. The frag cannon is a stripped-down Forgeworld twin-linked autocannon arm, and the banner and meltagun are from the Ironclad kit. Inspired by the "Furioso Dreadnoughts are the most venerable of all" comment in Codex: Blood Angels, I constructed the rest of dreadnought from the new Venerable kit. The banner is my own re-interpretation of the 'Furioso' banner from the original Blood Angels Dreadnought (circa 1993). I reckon I'm getting pretty handy at this freehand stuff, even though I do say so myself!

CosmicCreations Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Whilst this is a very good paintjob I'm a little confused....I thought a furioso dread had to have TWO close combat weapons? I may be wrong but thats what I thought :) Despite this well done indeed :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/202605-furioso-dreadnought/#findComment-2414498 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volcatus Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Cosmic, the Frag Cannon is a valid (and highly effective) choice for our beloved Furioso dreads. Marvelous work, Mercury.

Haunter! Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Fantastic job. It's always nice to see Furiosos with something other than Blood Talons. Your highlighting work on this model is great. My only nit-picky gripe is that the chained ornaments on the left shoulder are hanging at an angle. That throws things off on what would otherwise be a flawless model.

mercury Posted May 28, 2010 Author Share Posted May 28, 2010 Time to apply for a job at 'Eavy Metal mate :mellow: I'm flattered, but I don't think I'm anywhere near that standard. Besides, I'd rather just paint for recreation than have the pressure (deadlines, being forced to paint models I don't like etc) of doing it for a living. I also happen to have some idea of how much the Eavy Metal team make, and I'm better off continuing in my current job! ;-) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/202605-furioso-dreadnought/#findComment-2415338 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vadskær Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Wonderfull model! It is a great paintjob and the banner is beautiful. One tip for possible improvement would to continue with the highlights and do a mix of 1:1 vomit brown and blazing orange followed by pure vomit brown on the sharpest corners/edges. Then this could be toned down a bit with a red wash. ^_^ /vadskær Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/202605-furioso-dreadnought/#findComment-2415529 Share on other sites More sharing options...
