MadGreek Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 I the Mad Greek answer the call of E TENEBRAE LUX and vow to complete one Furioso Dreadnought with Magna Grapple, Frag Cannon, Blood Fist, and Meltagun, and one Furioso Librarian Dreadnought from Codex Blood Angels of total value of 315 points on or before August 15th. Success will bring eternal glory to the Blood Bulls Chapter and failure will doom me to bear the Badge of Shame until the year-end Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/275571-madgreeks-etl-ii-wip-thread/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadGreek Posted May 16, 2013 Author Share Posted May 16, 2013 First, Furioso bits in progress http://i1056.photobucket.com/albums/t371/MDemetris/ETL%202013/IMAG0920_zpsd5440fd0.jpghttp://i1056.photobucket.com/albums/t371/MDemetris/ETL%202013/IMAG0922_zps7f689e86.jpg http://i1056.photobucket.com/albums/t371/MDemetris/ETL%202013/IMAG0918_zps4720c630.jpg I wanted to use one my crested Spartan helmets on his guy, only to discover that the Magna Grapple made that awkward. Solution, turn the grapple around, drill new holes for the "Magna" bits, and run with it. I think it came out looking pretty good. Brass bits on the arm are ForgeWorld Minotaur Brass Etch. Might add a couple more to the body when done - I'll know when I see it.

MadGreek Posted May 17, 2013 Author Share Posted May 17, 2013 My Furioso Libby now. http://i1056.photobucket.com/albums/t371/MDemetris/ETL%202013/d5ed5513-8e99-49a6-8d52-9245c4988945_zps4e7299f6.jpg http://i1056.photobucket.com/albums/t371/MDemetris/ETL%202013/253cd589-b7c2-46d3-a84a-54e30f44320e_zps52e52ca2.jpg http://i1056.photobucket.com/albums/t371/MDemetris/ETL%202013/1_zps167c58cb.jpg I got replacement arms with special shoulder pads. Need a good well sized axe for the power weapon. Still searching, suggestions/recommendations very appreciated. The left side of the dread in this picture probably looks all messed up. It is. I had to mold a new one with Rapid Mold and Green Stuff/Milliput. The worst of it will be covered by the arm.

MadGreek Posted July 12, 2013 Author Share Posted July 12, 2013 OK, so life, work, 2 birthdays, not feeling great, and general malaise got in the way and slowed me WAY down. BUT, got 1/2 my first vow done. First, I had to decide between these three shields http://i1056.photobucket.com/albums/t371/MDemetris/ETL%202013/ShieldDecisions_zps360e7fc2.jpg Then, as I took the first pictures of my completed Dread, I realized I had not added the Melta. So, shield painted and added, and Melta attached. Hope you like the results.

Taranis Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 That's an impressive result. Great results with your modelling and conversion! I love that.:) To my taste It's got too much metallic paint but I know your color scheme and to each his own. It's very cool with your ancient Greek theme. The freehand and symbols look great! :tu Ps: when going for the libby dread, consider giving him an axe. A Dreadnought ignores unwieldy. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/275571-madgreeks-etl-ii-wip-thread/#findComment-3411485 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadGreek Posted August 6, 2013 Author Share Posted August 6, 2013 OK, finally, here is the 2nd Dread, the Libby, finished. http://i1056.photobucket.com/albums/t371/MDemetris/ETL%202013/IMAG0476_zpsa138a0f2.jpg http://i1056.photobucket.com/albums/t371/MDemetris/ETL%202013/IMAG0478_zpsdf8e9634.jpg http://i1056.photobucket.com/albums/t371/MDemetris/ETL%202013/IMAG0479_zps1c9ffed9.jpg OK, so obviously, custom head, special order arms, cut the hand up so the fingers could close around the axe, made the axe, brass etch mino head on shoulder scroll, and added a simple shield/lambda symbol to right (left as you look) greave. Also, tried for a swirly pattern on the axe, cause thats how I kinda see the warp "flowing" when I read descriptions in books. Didn't come out quite like I wanted, but I will try and improve it, But for now, I need to be finished. Hope you like it.

Taranis Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Looking tough. Awesome amount of work you have done. It's great to have people like you to inspire us into conversions. I'm intending to do a gunslinger project when the ETL powers down. You and BoomKapow are great at showing the way!

MadGreek Posted August 11, 2013 Author Share Posted August 11, 2013 OK, Sgt Done. Plasma Cannon needs shoulder pad and basing. Also, got some more paint on the missile launcher and arms. http://i1056.photobucket.com/albums/t371/MDemetris/ETL%202013/IMAG0518_zpsa3a3adc7.jpg Close up of the wiring, think it came out pretty good. http://i1056.photobucket.com/albums/t371/MDemetris/ETL%202013/IMAG0517_zps5aa6abd3.jpg Although now I see a couple spots I missed, and I need to shade that blue cable a bit. And Missile Launcher body primed, as well as rest of the shoulder pads. http://i1056.photobucket.com/albums/t371/MDemetris/ETL%202013/IMAG0519_zps4babbbeb.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/275571-madgreeks-etl-ii-wip-thread/#findComment-3418512 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Color added to missiles. There are 3 different missiles that come with the set, 2 are on this figure. There is one with an old fashioned grenade texture that I might slip on the empty rail, paint green, and call Frag, the 1 red tip probably call Krak, since it as a protruding contact fuse that looks like it is for vehicle pen, and the third Ill call Skyfire, in hopes of getting them soon Just need a tip color for the Skyfire.
