Forge World Dreadnought

Just finished painting what will be used as a dreadnought or Bjorn.

 

I still have the banner to complete but was looking for comments and criticism before I finish it.

I agree with all the above. Also, love the pose.

 

You could get the golden wolf head to pop by giving it a VERY gentle dusting of mithril silver. Also, not sure how comfortable you are with edge highlighting, but if you highlighted (not drybrushed) the black wolf heads in adeptus battlegrey, they'd show more substance too. If it feels too bright or thick, you can tone the highlights back with a coat (or more) of badab black wash.

Just a side note, I really like the simple Wolf Priest in the back ground. Great idea for the "helm" and the panting was very simple and to the point. LOVE IT! the dread is ok too =)

 

Except in game terms there are no justifications for TDA Wolf Priest.

 

Back to topic - great painting and I like Your drybrushing/weathering technique - it is perfect for large flat surfaces, like dreads and tanks.

Thanks for all the comments, Wolfebane, I have taken your advise and dusted the central wolf head with mithral silver and edged the two black wolf heads. You are right it does look better so thanks for that tip.

 

I have completed the banner now. I went for a traditional Bjorn banner, which will be removed when the dread is being used as a dread and not Bjorn.

 

Again comments and criticism welcome.

Yeah, it's just too bad that the complete awesomeness of Tactical Dreadnought Armour is not adequately reflected in the game. For characters, especially, it can't compare with Articifer/Runic Armour with limitations to Transports, Sweeping Advance, and no extra close combat attacks for a pistol.

 

Back on topic, beautiful Bjorn model, well done. If I didn't already have the original, I would definitely get the FW version.

Oh no,no-no-no, never meant to be rude. I was just outdoing growler in his awesome wolf priest thing. I just didn't have pics. And besides, I'm not an amazing painter or builder myself, so anything I said, if I had meant it as insult, would be full of cr**.
