Would you mind a rundown of the parts used or some rough construction steps for that wee beastie? As an old mechwarrior fanboy, I cannot tell you how much I LOVE this thing. Would you happen to mind making me a private army of these things? : p Seriously awesome conversion, and some top notch painting to boot.

Great looking Raven Guard and Deathwatch :blink: What do you have planned after the Dreadnought?

Well now that the new IA 11 came out and gave us assault drop pods Im going to create 3 more dreads similar to this but with close combat load outs. And i have to make two more of these Dread Ravens for my mobile fast attack list.

Amazing work on the dread, and everything else there. One minor nitpick, something just seems... off to me about the missile launchers, to my eyes they'd look better shoulder mounted than where they are now, as it looks like they're about to shoot off into space at an angle, rather than forwards to the thing you want dead

 

just my 0.02p, other than that, it looks great and I may be appropriating ideas from you >.>

The missiles are laser guided :tu:

Everything in this plog is first class.

 

The use of the classic Sicarius for a Raven Guard is pure genius, any chance of a close up of him?

 

The Scouts and Dread Raven are simply amazing

 

Love it

Please share how you made the dreadnought, specifically the arms and legs. That thing is awesome!

 

I just started working on the body of my second one and i have not started on the legs yet so maybe i can put a step by step together. I was planning on making a couple cc dreads as well so ill take that opportunity to take some pics.

 

@ Wil Bass Yak and Night. Thanks very much for the kind words. I was starting to think no one was digging my paint style. I know its a bit different from most others.

Here are some Rhinos Ive been working on for the last couple of weeks. Im still experimenting with the weathering powders. So any advice you may have would be helpful.

 

Thanks for looking.

An Italian guy once told me that the rocker sign (represented in letters as \../ ) means "I made love to your mother" in Italy. Raise the Dread's hands a bit...

 

Best used against tyranids, if they're anything like Aliens.

 

Good and rough looking army, one of the best Raven Guard I've seen.

Great looking army you have there.

 

I agree with NightHunters about the Stormtalon cockpit windows, the mirrored glass looks awesome. I may have to use that on mine.

 

I love the use of the Repressor kit on the rhinos as well. At least it looks like 10 marines may fit inside!

Wow fantastic conversions and your painting style is great. The more weathered and realistic looking stuff is awesome now. Like your older guys too. You are really talented. The weathering looks great btw, the worn off paint is definitely something new to me. I really like it. Scouts look awesome too. Keep it up!

Yeah i was just sitting there with my airbrush playing with colors on a pad and found this by total accident. I drew out four boxes and started spraying. The last box i took black silver as the base then i shot aluminum in the center and it just popped. And you are more than welcome to it. the best form of flattery in my opinion.

Andrew thanks man. Now i have a question for you. I myself live in Richmond and have never seen this army of yours. What stores do you play at?

 

Night and Yak thanks again guys.

Great Raven Guard. Your Telion is very fitting. Cant wait to start mine. Great Raven Freehands.

 

However as a Templars and Raven Guard player I dont like so much white on Raven Guard, they look to much like Raven Templars. And their chapter insignia is a white Raven not a black. :)

Thanks for the nice comments.

 

I was mulling over what you were saying about black ravens on a white background. And i dont think you are correct. I did a little looking around on the web and found some RG art with black ravens on white. Then i went to FW and looked at the xfer sheets and they also have black ravens. So i think im safe on my choice of black on white. Now the red thats a little something im working on phasing out of my army.

Well awhile back a came across some WIP projects that i was enamored with so i decided to try it for myself. Space marine biker Monowheel. Like i said i cant take credit for the ideas so i wanted to mention them and give them credit.

Aldebaran

Iron Hands Monowheel project

lord sith alucard

CMON Monowheel Space Marine

 

Anyway here is what i have been working on. Once I get it to where i want it Im going to cast it and finish off 9 bikes. Please excuse the roughness of it. Im a messy modeler... I tend to sand and clean stuff after i get it where i want it. C&C welcome!
