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/240557-blood-angel-furiouso-contemptor/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enzephalon Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 First Contemptor I like. Pose is awesome as is the head. I'm not so sure about the wings on his feet though.

DaemonPrinceDargor Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Great stuff man! I am working on a Contemtor Librarian myself, kind of a reward for the old Libby Dread i have for doing so well last weekend at ToS. Just a suggestion,wouldn't you be better off magnetizing the wings for easier transportation? Now paint the thing and give us more pics! :rolleyes: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/240557-blood-angel-furiouso-contemptor/#findComment-2904031 Share on other sites More sharing options...
VAGABOND Posted October 19, 2011 Author Share Posted October 19, 2011 I've just glued the wings and filled the gaps with Green Stuff, I don't see it breaking as it's strong as it is. I'll be basing it tonight and spraying it tomorrow :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/240557-blood-angel-furiouso-contemptor/#findComment-2904048 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravenger Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Looks really nice, does it count as a librarian dread? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/240557-blood-angel-furiouso-contemptor/#findComment-2904107 Share on other sites More sharing options...
VAGABOND Posted October 19, 2011 Author Share Posted October 19, 2011 Yeah, I think he could past for it? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/240557-blood-angel-furiouso-contemptor/#findComment-2904110 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deschenus Maximus Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Hate the Contemptor as a general rule, love this one. What are the wings from?

VAGABOND Posted October 20, 2011 Author Share Posted October 20, 2011 The wings are from the High Elf Griffon in the Island Of Blood box, my mate who's a staffer said if I do the conversion he'd give me the wings. The model is currently drying after I touched up the black, I'll be painting it as soon as the paint is dry. More pictures coming soon folks :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/240557-blood-angel-furiouso-contemptor/#findComment-2904630 Share on other sites More sharing options...

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/240557-blood-angel-furiouso-contemptor/#findComment-2904856 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Mapple Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 I wasnt sure about the wings on the legs either until I saw how seamless the blend is once painted. Awesome job!

VAGABOND Posted October 20, 2011 Author Share Posted October 20, 2011 I knew exactly how I wanted to do it in my head, I'm happy with how it's turned out though and how he looks as though he belongs in a Sanguinary Guard army. :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/240557-blood-angel-furiouso-contemptor/#findComment-2904868 Share on other sites More sharing options...
VAGABOND Posted October 20, 2011 Author Share Posted October 20, 2011 Yeah glad you like it mate, here are the new pictures of the finished Dreadnought and before you say it yes I know I'm a fast worker. ;) http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i238/Ryan-Ess/2011-10-20191844.jpg http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i238/Ryan-Ess/2011-10-20191520.jpg http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i238/Ryan-Ess/2011-10-20191457.jpg http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i238/Ryan-Ess/2011-10-20191830.jpg http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i238/Ryan-Ess/2011-10-20191421.jpg If anyone wants to know how I did the armour, metalwork or anything in general then please feel free to ask.

VAGABOND Posted October 20, 2011 Author Share Posted October 20, 2011 The parts for the sword are made from 2 Dark Angel Helmet Wings, Eldar Wraithblade and plastic card for the blood drop.

Rafen_2 Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 I wasnt sure about the wings on the legs either until I saw how seamless the blend is once painted. Awesome job! Exactly my thoughts on it. Is there anymore plans for awesome conversions like this?

VAGABOND Posted October 20, 2011 Author Share Posted October 20, 2011 Erm not entirely sure yet matey, my Sanguinary Guard army is almost finished. I'll probably add another Furioso Dreadnought with Blood Talons at some point but not anytime soon. I'm trying to finish my Tyranid army and I've also got a full Chaos army at 2k to paint aswell. I may do a blog on it at some point but not too sure yet.

Beef Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 I like the wings and the golden colour, i was not sure about the head untill I say it painted, i had an image that you would paint it flesh tones as if the marine was plugged into the suit. Now that the heads golden it makes more sence. Personnaly i like the smaller wings on the legs.

Terrahawk Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 That's a badass Dread man. Majestic and terrifying at the same time, as a Sanguinary Dread should be. Are you planning on converting other stuff for your Sang Guard? Maybe a pair of Typhoons with golden colours and angelic wings? And pilots rocking Death Masks. :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/240557-blood-angel-furiouso-contemptor/#findComment-2906653 Share on other sites More sharing options...
VAGABOND Posted October 23, 2011 Author Share Posted October 23, 2011 I've got one of my Stormravens converted with Sanguinary Guard pilots, I'll take some pictures tonight and post them up. I'm gonna be taking my SG into GW this week for some games since I've been playing Deathwing religiously for 8 months for Tournament Practice.

Myxx Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 before the paint job, I didn't see a dread, maybe just an uber-Sanguinor... But with the awesome paint job, it could be the most rocking BA dread I have laid eyes on! Cheers!
