Redfinger Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Got tired of modeling the same dreadnought pose after another, needed some life to be added to my army...so I sat down and knocked this out in about an hour, still needs work, but I am happy with the result. I may try and change the left arm a bit, I wanted him to look like he was reaching out and grabbing something. I also I have little gap filling and detail work to do. It is not going to be a DC dread, but I am going to make artistic use of the "X" probably with a checker pattern or something. Thanks for looking!

vharing Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Looks really good, man. Do you have some WIP pics? I would love to see just how you did it.

Tangamarine Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 I have been tempted to do a similar reposition myself, the legs are all cut out and ready. Nice work, keep it up.

Highborn Mergula Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 PAINT IT NOW I TELL YOU NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's the best looking dreadnought ive ever seen! ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/227165-my-take-on-a-running-dreadnought/#findComment-2721126 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelOfDeathXIII Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Exactly what a Blood Angels Dreadnought should look like.. You've just convinced me to buy the Furioso Dread myself (those Grey Knight Terminators will have to wait). With those Blood Talons I'd keep them like this as if he is charging the enemy and smashing his arms around. If you had "ordinary" Blood Fists I'd go for the "picking-something-up" pose as well :D Looking forward to see it painted :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/227165-my-take-on-a-running-dreadnought/#findComment-2721144 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smallboy Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Love it!!! Are the legs easy to cut into that stance? Have to admit something though, is it running or doing a jazz hands tap dance? :D Either way I love it!!

Redfinger Posted April 12, 2011 Author Share Posted April 12, 2011 Thanks for the compliments guys. @vahring--I dont really have any wip pics, I just kind of made it up as I went, it really wasn't to hard. @Dvron--Well get to work son..those things wont build themselves! @Mergula--He is a few down on the painting roster right now, I have some commission stuff that I am working on, this guy will be done soon though, I have a 1750 tournament coming up that this one and another Furioso will be in. @AODXIII--Thanks, the more I look at that left arm the less I like the position of it, I really want his arm to look more extended as if he is reaching for something. @Smallboy--Yes it was a very easy thing to do, just be patient and dont cut yourself. The jazz comment made me laugh out loud, that would be a funny "themed" piece, pout a cane in one hand, a hot in another, and paint him up barber shot quartet style!

In my mind all dreadnoughts do a little "ta-da" dance after slaughtering a demon or something Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/227165-my-take-on-a-running-dreadnought/#findComment-2721413 Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Drop Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Great work yet again bro, your models are always worth checking out. The first photo is amazing, you have really captured the pose/motion of the dreadnought in this shot Keep up the good work, always good to see what you're up to red!!

AngelOfDeathXIII Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Ok agreed the left arm looks a bit strange.. Thought about lowering it? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/227165-my-take-on-a-running-dreadnought/#findComment-2721466 Share on other sites More sharing options...

bushman101 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 wow, that's really nice. Might have to try something similar Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/227165-my-take-on-a-running-dreadnought/#findComment-2721583 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rybnick Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Looks excellent Redfinger, I think the arm position look great too. I don't think I'd change a thing, just slap some paint on him and start shredding infantry! A quick question about the legs though, it's hard to tell from the picture what's connecting the legs to the torso of the dread? I can't wait to pic up a new dread kit and give a conversion like this a shot, thank you for the inspiration!

I fashioned some aluminum tubing to go through the hip, then put some styrene strips around it as well. To get the dread from unbuilt to this point was about an hour of work, it was really rather simple.

Seva Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 I think it looks great! In my opinion it would look better if the arm position was changed. I think the high claw should be opposite the high knee. Regardless I think the model is excellent and I do like the pose. Either way it looks really good, really dynamic.
