sword brethren Posted January 31, 2011 Author Share Posted January 31, 2011 as some of you may remember i built a dreadnaught some time ago. having the flu has given me enough relaxation time to get it finished! i took this picture by accident but i thought it looked so awesome with the lighting i would put it in anyway. Front CC arm PC arm Back Strike a Pose!! how does it look? SB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newtype Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 "Knell before Zod!" Sorry, just remembering my Superman quotes. Or "I Am Awesome!" That picture is a perfect combination of light and pose. The detail and chains make for a great Dreadnought. Well done indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S. Bloodhowl Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 "Lord commander, the Dreadnought isn't nearly bad-ass or scary looking enough as it is. What should we do?" "CHAINS!!! CHAINS AND A MASSIVE POWER SWORD!!!! THE EMPEROR COMMANDS IT!!!!" Can't argue with Space Marine logic, especially not when that is on their side! ;) Awesome work as usual SB. Now how about an army picture? PS: "AND MAKE SURE IT HAS DRAMATIC BACK-LIGHTING TOO!!!!!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legio Draconis Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Oh sweet Jesus were the words that came out of mouth when I looked at that dred. Amazing work brother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puck Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 While I can't post the actual words that came out of my mouth, I will say this: consider your ideas thoroughly stolen with the proper credit of course. Honestly I don't see why GW don't use a giant power sword as a CCW for dreads... maybe you should send this pic to them with the caption "CCWs, if they don't have lightning bolts they can't smite the Emperor's enemies."

Terrible_Trygon Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I like it. Though I must admit, the green stuff arm extenders look like metallic patty cakes to me. I think the model would have benefited from rotating the elbow joints, which would mean less extending of the shoulder joints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonidus Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Now that's what I call a Dred!!!! You managed to grab that knightly feel with this one. Well done mate! My only gripe would be the mould lines on the sarcophagus "neck". Still looks bad ass though!!! ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firepower Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I like it. Though I must admit, the green stuff arm extenders look like metallic patty cakes to me. I think the model would have benefited from rotating the elbow joints, which would mean less extending of the shoulder joints. +1 The painting on his chest shield looks like it went a bit awry, too, though it's not nearly as noticeable as the strange shoulder joint. All the same, very nice work. Your command of metallics is particularly impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PorridgeMeister Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Wow! That dread is pretty good! I like the weapon arms particularly :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sword brethren Posted March 26, 2011 Author Share Posted March 26, 2011 ok i have a little update, firstly i completed my vow for LPC so here is the link to all the minis rather than me posting them again. http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...p;#entry2702346 and i also have a valid reason for updating this blog... ok so i bought the stormraven before it could even touch the shelf of GW but due to laziness i never posted pics and due to being excited i got cracking right away, i have painted the cockpit (can get a good pic though...) and i am proceeding to undercoat by hand as i have £2 in my bank and no undercoat. another reason for the update is some opinions on psykers in a templar based army. i recently i bought dragon age 2 (quite enjoying it) and i thought the charcter design on the cover looked very cool indeed and i started planning out some stuff, i figure a dedicated psyker hunter unit would be very awesome, using the stats for a librarian. my justification being... Psychic hood - a holy device used to subdue psykers, from pre heresy times. Powers - Null Zone - same holy device as before...? - Might of the Ancients - a hatred for enemy psykers drives the warrior on to unbeleivable feats of strength to destroy his foe. Force Weapon - a mighty weapon forged especially to deal with immortal and strongly psychic foes, embued with holy oils and scripture. those are the only things that would need justifying i beleive, so back to the point, he will use a staff/sword thing like the dragon age guy and will have a similar swept back pose. what is everyones opinion on this? would a proxy psyker fit this role or am i stretching things i should not be? thanks SB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sword brethren Posted March 27, 2011 Author Share Posted March 27, 2011 It's your army. Does it sound good to you? it does indeed, i was just wondering how easily others would accept the idea. Have you named that dreddy yet? Because "Zod" is sounding good to me...:o yes, i think Zod has stuck, i beleive i have referred to him as Zod to friends after the original Zod based post so it is only fair. :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sword brethren Posted June 1, 2011 Author Share Posted June 1, 2011 well it has certainly been a while but with exams over and post slowly vomiting new warhammer on to my carpet everyday it is safe to say i have some new stuff. first of all i have redone High Marshall Ansgar Von Faust, now he is just a High Captain (MY Marshall for when i use a BT codex) i now feel he looks suitably angry and fierce. he was.... he is now... as soon as the green stuff dries he will be tidied around the arm joint and paint shall be applied!

Dark Apostle Thirst Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 I can tell you from experience that Lightning Claws are notoriously hard to make a successful pose for (that hasn't been done already). You did this well, now he needs some paint to go with it ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Nice pose, but there's some pretty heavy mold lines on those claws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
