The old pics got messed up so here we go!
Good work, I like the seamless incorporation of the Venerable Dread sarcophagus piece.

My take on a Chaplain Venerable Dreadnought for my Raptors army.

That's come out very nice indeed, congrats :D Where did you get the wings and chaplain head from ? This one's going to be inspiring more I reckon!

Thanks mate!
Here's a parts breakdown: the body and arms are from the standard venerable dread; the legs, feet, and claw are from the Space Wolves venerable dread; the head is from a Dark Angels Interrogator-Chaplain; the wings are the Vexilla from the Custodes Guard Squad box, trimmed down; and the bones are from Secret Weapon Miniatures.
Spurred on by the judging ghost of H.G. Wells, who likes to see all miniatures painted, I picked up the brush again and eight hours later the third Contemptor emerged ready for battle. Bit of a rough job, but decent enough to hit the field.
@Sherrypie: that's a wicked Death Guard temptor, mate! Fantastic conversion work and especially on the reposed legs - that plastic temptor is a bitch to convincingly repose the legs of, so good on you for this execution. What's the right arm supposed to be? It looks well cool, but no idea what it counts as. :)

Thanks mate! It's a conversion beamer, or should I find it bothersome ruleswise at some point, an esoteric scifi beam working as another twin-las.
Also, while on the subject, another plastemptor:
My two boys, here in the Forge instead of guarding the Rock like they should:
That's a lot of firepower right there and those dreadnoughts look fantastic with that detailed heraldry.
I give you, Leviathan Dreadnought Hierax. Completely magnetised for any loadout and full of details. This may honestly be THE best model i have ever made, possibly not exactly the best painted, but it's the one i feel the most proud of.
Here you can see all the options available to him.
I've also got a closeup of the details including, Skulls, name scroll, an iron halo, crux terminatus, Destroyer symbol, leg studs, chains and the symbol of furor shield.
I have also written a bio for him Go check out my log in my signature for more deathwatch goodness :D
Hierax, “The Destroyer”, Leviathan Dreadnought of Watch Fortress Furor Shield, Former Captain of Watch Company Tertius, Formerly of the Nemesis Chapter
The Nemesis chapter has long held onto the more deadly and exotic methods of imperial warfare, using chemical and radiation weapons to devastating effect. Whilst officially codex complaint they still maintain stockpiles of phospex, rad missiles and other tools of destruction for use in extreme circumstances. Originally formed from the Ultramarine Legion’s destroyer companies they are brutal but coldly calculating killers. None exemplify this ethos more than Hierax, his name being that of a founding member of the Nemesis Chapter. He always favours scorched earth tactics and will think nothing of sacrificing imperial citizens for a tactical advantage. He will bombard contested planets despite allied forces being present to deny the enemy the territory. Thus earning him the epithet “The Destroyer”. His induction into the Deathwatch greatly increased the diversity of the weapons available to him. His ruthless tactics found a home in the deathwatch for whom the ends justify the means and he quickly rose to command Watch Company Tertius of Furor Shield. This finally gave him the ultimate weapon, exterminatus. Whilst fighting hive fleet Leviathan in the Octarius war, Hierax’s company was forced into a fighting retreat. The mission was to identify if Leviathan was gaining an advantage over the Octarian orks. During the exfiltration Hierax was eviscerated by a carnifex but his brothers managed to get him aboard a dropship and return to the ship in orbit. With his last breath Hierax ordered exterminatus on the planet, removing Leviathan’s advantage and returning the Octarius war to a stalemate. But, he did not die. Stabilised by the apothecaries and returned to Furor Shield it was judged the Hierax should be given the honour of being interred in a Dreadnought. His tactical skills were too valuable to be lost, even if he could no longer command a company. Awakening inside his new shell, Hierax was not displeased as he now truly deserved to be called “The Destroyer”. Given that hive fleet Leviathan crippled him, he considers it rather ironic that he is now also, a Leviathan. Heirax insists that he is still capable of commanding a company and regularly petitions Watch Master Leonidas to give him back Watch Company Tertius. Leonidas however is gravely concerned how quickly Hierax ordered an Exterminatus and will not risk giving him that power again. For now, Heirax is unleashed where the fighting is thickest and is a valuable, if overly destructive, asset to the deathwatch. But his moods grow darker and the years of being entombed begin to take their toll on his mind….

Interrorgator Stobz, those guys look insane in Deathwing colours. I especially love the sections of red on the huy on the right. Beautiful work
Of The Night, really digging your big boy too. I think its the chains and the destroyer badge that really do it for me
@Of the Night, nice and sinister fellow you've got there! I like the bit where he becomes a Leviathan because of the Leviathan :D
