VAGABOND Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Haven't posted anything in here sometime and decided to stick up my new Contemptor Dreadnought I've been working on for a couple of days. As many of you know I have an all Sanguinary Guard army and after seeing the conversion opportunity with this model I had to work on one of my beloved Blood Angel army. I've converted it intensely and after seeing a few in my local GW I knew I had to make mine stand out from the rest. http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i238/Ryan-Ess/2011-10-18230818.jpg http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i238/Ryan-Ess/2011-10-19163523.jpg http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i238/Ryan-Ess/2011-10-19163540.jpg http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i238/Ryan-Ess/2011-10-19182038.jpg http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i238/Ryan-Ess/2011-10-19182122.jpg http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i238/Ryan-Ess/2011-10-19182159.jpg http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i238/Ryan-Ess/2011-10-19182053.jpg And how he's looking just now with his wings attached and touching up on the mould lines with the new Liquid Green Stuff. http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i238/Ryan-Ess/2011-10-19182217.jpg Hope you guys like it :rolleyes: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/240556-blood-angel-furiouso-contemptor/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedarklordobsidian Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Speaking as someone who isn't the greatest fan of Blood Angels, this is very nice, the positioning is really dynamic and the addition of wings is pretty cool, I wasn't sure on the 2nd picture but looking at the last pic swung me to your cause. good luck and I'll be keeping an eye on this!

thedarklordobsidian Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Keep it way from the cat for a while then, litter tends to clump when mixed with cats devil piss Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/240556-blood-angel-furiouso-contemptor/#findComment-2904030 Share on other sites More sharing options...
VAGABOND Posted October 19, 2011 Author Share Posted October 19, 2011 I don't have a cat so I'm lucky, I had to ask to my girlfriend to get me cat litter. That was an interesting conversation...

thedarklordobsidian Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 dont worry, I have a cat myself, I have to put my models high up lest the little bugger gets hold of them and moves them around the house! last time i managed to step on something i'd spent a week modelling, when I know for a fact I'd left it two rooms away from my bedroom! not great!

fivepointedstar Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 very nice but the head is far too tiny. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/240556-blood-angel-furiouso-contemptor/#findComment-2904113 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathar the great Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Cool idea. The head does look rather small. Maybe if you added something like a small targetting lens to one side, and a bunch of cables to hold him in the huge socket, it might look bulkier and more like it actually belongs there. The way the wings on the legs and on the back connect to the body also looks a bit crude right now. You could model a teardrop on the leg guards where the wings are attached to make them resemble a Blood Angel icon. And some cables on the back to tie in the large wings in some mechanical way might help make them look less organic and demonic.

KYR GKIKAS Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 A very nice conversion.I cant wait to see it painted. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/240556-blood-angel-furiouso-contemptor/#findComment-2904520 Share on other sites More sharing options...
VAGABOND Posted October 20, 2011 Author Share Posted October 20, 2011 I'll have to disagree with you guys regarding the head, I reckon the head is fine as it is and the idea of the wings on the legs was to resemble him being part of the Sanguinary Guard and I was originally gonna use a Relic Pattern but it wasn't available to us at Throne Of Skulls.

It's your mini, dude. I was just trying to give you some useful criticism.

VAGABOND Posted October 20, 2011 Author Share Posted October 20, 2011 Yeah absolutely mate, I understand what you mean. I wanted to use the Death Mask helmet without having to cut the helm off but there just wasn't space to put it in. The Dreadnought has had his his armour nearly finished and metalwork all washed so waiting for it to dry. More pictures coming up soon :( Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/240556-blood-angel-furiouso-contemptor/#findComment-2904713 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathar the great Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Looking forward to them. Completely off-topic, I've used my 1337th post in your thread, I hope you feel adequately honored ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/240556-blood-angel-furiouso-contemptor/#findComment-2904726 Share on other sites More sharing options...
VAGABOND Posted October 20, 2011 Author Share Posted October 20, 2011 Yeah I feel honoured now thank you ;) I'll do the next step for the washes and upload more pictures.

VAGABOND Posted October 20, 2011 Author Share Posted October 20, 2011 Not finished just yet, should be done by tonight after I do his wings. Updated pictures... http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i238/Ryan-Ess/2011-10-20162121.jpg http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i238/Ryan-Ess/2011-10-20162723.jpg http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i238/Ryan-Ess/2011-10-20164027.jpg http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i238/Ryan-Ess/2011-10-20164114.jpg http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i238/Ryan-Ess/2011-10-20164137.jpg The model itself looks far better in person than in the photos the armour is done the exact way I did the Sanguinary Guard so he looks the same as his brothers. Hope you like the pictures guys :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/240556-blood-angel-furiouso-contemptor/#findComment-2904855 Share on other sites More sharing options...
