Brother-Captain Lucius Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 hey lads i am thinking about buying a FW dreadnought soon enough and the question i want to ask is what do you think is the best looking one for Blood Angels? I was thinking either the Chaplain Dread or the Ultramarines one? Your thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMouth Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 chappy looks kinda weird and its been done to death. I say get the old school looking dread and out fit it with cc arms and bam! Awesome furioso, that pretty much no one else will have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RebG Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 I do like Mr Chappy dread but, as TheMouth says, it's been done quite a bit. I was having a look at these myself yesterday for my new dread; I came to the conclusion of either the Chaplain one - but maybe with a head swap or similar to make it unique - or the Dark Angel one. With the DA dread I liked the banners and the fact there's some more subtle wings, but all those swords would take some careful hiding under blood drops/removing. Ultramarine dread I think would be more work still to remove various 'U' symbols - he has them behind chains on the shins, inset on the chest etc, plus they're all over the (very cool) back banner so you'd have a lot of resin shaving to do. Choices choices..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrahawk Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 Chaplains being extremely fluffy for us, I must vote for the Chaplain Dread. Even though done a lot, it does look awesome! :lol: I wonder if Forge World is going to release a BA specific Dread soon? It's bound to happen eventually.

RebG Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 Besides us what other chapters are left? Salamanders...and the fists? Of the founding chapters those plus Iron Hands and the quite un-dreadnoughty White Scars too me thinks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnightmare Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 I've gone for the Ultra as the base of mine 'coz I haven't seen one in BA colours yet, paired with GW venerable legs as the FW ones require a lot of work to de-ultra (but it is not impossible) and I find the GW ones easier to repose. A few BA specific icons later and..... Front View Right View Left View I'm planning on selling the FW legs and banner, although they could be saved and would fit in very nicely with a successor chapter with Tyrannic War fluff if you don't mind the extra work in getting rid of the pesky 'U's. Its still in wip 'coz I haven't decided what colour to paint him as yet (play testing pending), but hope it helps B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volcatus Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 At first I though the Ultramarine Dread would be a rather poor choice, but after looking at it a bit I think there could be a way to make it BA. If you're talented in the Green Stuff department, it looks to me one could modify the U's to look like the interesting new Blood Angels shoulder pad art in the codex. The one that looks like an Ultramarines U with feathers and a blood drop in the center. The sword icon on the right greave would be a bit of a challenge though, as it doesn't easily modify into something more BA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skawolf Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 Why not just the MKIV venerable? Nothing chapter specific to get rid of and plenty of room to add chapter specific details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranwulf Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 I like the Grey Knights for Librarian Dreads and the Chaplain for the DC Dread. Ran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMouth Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 I like the Grey Knights for Librarian Dreads and the Chaplain for the DC Dread. Ran Agreed. That and both Mark IVs, venerable more then the other old school one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitefireinferno Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 I would say the Dark Angels one and Green/Grey/stuff stuff some blood drops over the swords and wings and the like. It would be my First choice If I make a Libby Dred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnightmare Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 tbh the Dark Angels dread would make an excellent Angels Sanguine with minimal changes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
