Pizzasemmel Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 ----------------| + | + | + |--------------- Those of you who follow my other threads may remember a few subltle clues i left over the past week(s). They indicated mje, my special power of conversion and a brand new plastic venerable dreadnought :sweat: Just a few details i'd like to highlight: - I haven't come up with a satisfying background for the bell but it will go in the direction of some ultra rare meteor whatever that was retrieved by the black templars (same material the black swords are made of perhabs) Despite the bells size its sounds can be heard all over the battlefleet whenever the Dread crushed a foe, filling the enemy hearts with despair and those of his allies with great confidence - XXL weapon: i realy like the idea of dreads fighting with supersiezed weapons in close combat, the kind of weapon depending on the specialty of the marine in its former life -i think GW did an amazing job with this model, but i allways thought the proportions are kinda off on the dreads, so this fella has stretched legs (impossible so see on the pic but i cut the legs in the area of the armour plating in half and put plastic tubbing in the space...if you are realy interessted wait for more pics :( ) -still WIP in many areas: close combat arm joint need detailing, wires etc banner PURITY SEALS AND STREAMERS, OUH YEAH^^ -i'll have to give props so a few people for inspiration but i don't know who, i watched quite i lot of dreads before starting so if you think you recognize a nice idea of yours it's not unlikely that you are right :) C&C are welcome as always, if you like it or the BT in general and you don't know my other work it might be worth checking my other threads out ;) ----------------| + | + | + |--------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KolliIronbear Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Am I the only person who sees that thing playing baseball with Eldar jetbikes? It looks excellent thus far. I can't wait to see it finished :sweat: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glayvin34 Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 So awesome. I see that thing stepping out from between two transports to smack an enemy HQ across the board. I love what you did with the sarcophagus, the eye-slit looks really menacing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zanrian Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 My first thought was "Why is that dread getting ready to play Guitar Hero 40k? " :) But fun a side. The model looks great and I'm looking forward to see it with paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glaeken Templaris Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Holy Throne, That awesome. But must say that weapon would look even better in the hands of a chaplain dread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typical Cricket Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Waow. Definitely the coolest Dreadnought conversion I've seen in a while. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SterbTemplar Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Im looking forward to see that guy painted up! Can you place a Space Marine next to the hammer and take a picture? I really want to see more of this project! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denrik Greymane Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Everything about this Dread is awesome apart from the size of his weapon. Agreed it is probably personal taste, never been a fan of massive weaps like this. But overall, excellent pose and conversion, looks great.

4RC71C FOXX Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 Simply, excellent. FOXX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrible_Trygon Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 Very cool. Though I think the hand weapon looks kinda dumb. It is just way too big to be taken seriously. I am also not a fan of Dreadnoughts using power fist hands for holding their weapons. I find using Warmachine Warjack hands pulls off a better result.

Tyrannicide Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 This Dreadnought is just exploding with character. Very, very cool conversion, that definitely screams Templars to me. I'm really looking forward to seeing this monster get a fresh paint job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizzasemmel Posted July 18, 2010 Author Share Posted July 18, 2010 Update time everybody :) Since i got quite a lot replies concerning the size of the weapon, i went back to the drawing board and started all over again. The result is more compact, not as perpostreous weapon. What else is new: -revamped exhaust system -banner in cybot oversize -small armour upgrades -facial surgery Enjoy and as allways, i appreciate your feedback and glorifications ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Chaplain Astador Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 He looks insanely awesome! But I wanted to point out the fingerprint on the banner. Well it looks like a fingerprint. Left side on the back at the very top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raye Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 He is gorgeous. Fantastic work on the banner. I love the fact that he's sort of leaning on his mace. It's so intimidatingly HUGE that he doesn't need to swing it. I think he's got tons of character, which is great, cos Dreads can look a little 'stock'.

Durus Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 I kinda liked it with the huge mace. Though that might be the ork inside of me. :) This is some great conversion work. Love the attention to details like the bell and the exhausts. Beautyful mini. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glaeken Templaris Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Can just picture the smushed remains of some gribly oozing out from under that mace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwago Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Wow, that looks awesome! I love all the little conversions and details you added! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pueriexdeus Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Is it my imagination, or is there a face coming out of the banner? http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm71/pueriexdeus/Bannerface.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CREATOR_OF_ALL_SINS Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 This is insanely awesome!!!! Don't listen to the nay-sayers that say oh no its too big... BIGGER IS BETTER!!!!!! It adds real character to the dreadnought and is personalised insalely awesomely and cool. GREAT JOB! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizzasemmel Posted August 7, 2010 Author Share Posted August 7, 2010 Is it my imagination, or is there a face coming out of the banner? http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm71/pueriexdeus/Bannerface.jpg Throne, NO! Chaos has got its hold on one of our most precious brothers. It musn't be! And i won't...this is one of the little flaws that got covered up when sanding the banner into unending smoothness :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pueriexdeus Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 To bad, it could have been a real cool subset of your fallen Brethren coming to battle. Oh well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
