Here is my dread, unpainted, using parts from before the new one was released.

On the topic of Dreadnoughts, how does the new kit play out? Can I build the arms for both a ven shield/axe and murderfangs?

Sadly the kit contains only two close combat arms, and a single ranged weapon arm. I am working on magnetising mine so the murderclaws & axe/shield can be swapped out at will.

Here is my Conptemptor Dreadnought, painted for the 2012-2013 Winter's Advance Vow:

That's a Finecast Thunderwolf head, and all the bitz from the WolfGuard TDA's, along with scratch built decoratins. He's still my favorite!

Absolutely fantastic Contemptor Thunder_god. That's exactly the paint scheme I love to see on Space Wolves, a non-blue grey, golds, reds and blacks, no bright yellows. What grey is it?

 

Very nicely painted.

Thank you.

 

It's Adeptus Battle Grey with a misting of Vallejo Air Pale Blue Grey. The overall dk grey is fine for vehicles, but makes the marines look too dark to me. My wolves are the pale blue grey with several dark blue/brown filters applied to make them the shade I want. It's not perfect, but it looks good to me.

That's stunning sir. I find sometimes adding bits to models can be overdone or too much is added but between the fantastic paint job and the proper placement of said bits - wow, looks great!

Oh dear Russ, where is that claw from please?

 

 

It's a kitbash.  the talons are from the original Bjorn model, attached to embellished dread fingers.  the wrist plate is plasticard and microbeads for the studs.  the rest of the hand is made from a combination of a dreadnought fist and a FW seismic hammer arm.

My "Murderfang" which I magnetized so he can also be Bjorn. Not a fan of the traditional "crazy" Murderfang look so I just went with a Bjorn who puts on twin claws when he feels more assaulty than normal. ;) The left claws aren't painted yet because I'm ordering another set of Bjorn's claws to swap them out with like I did on the right arm.

Just picked this up on ebay for under $20 - I plan to strip and redo the ol feller.

He cleaned up decently:

I'd like to get him just a little sharper looking, but he's playable now at least.

Hi guys!!

 

just recently joined the forum!

 

I recently completed a Dreadnought which i converted from some random bits, some greenstuff and what not. Was given to me by a friend that wasn't using him so i thought i would make something out of it!

 

His name is Brynjar (means he who fights in armour or something along those lines!)

 

let me know what you guys think!! oh yeah, lots of great stuff here!! ;D

 

Cheers!

So I don't know if anyone has posted this tidbit but the ranged weapons in our new dread kit fit closely enough that glue is not needed and neither are magnets... I was very happy to find this and once bjorn is assembled I will post pics.

But will they work loose over time do you think? After a few swaps, will it not fit as tight?

Yeah, the only thing I don't love about him is the use of an actual Head on the Dreadnought, vice the use of a Sarcophagus, or a Simulcra.  Other than that, he's perfect.

Was fixing up my dreadnought fleet with new wargear + touch ups and decided to get some better photos of them.

The third is my favourite. Just finished painting it, shows how far I've come as a painter.

Very cool Wispy. They look great.

 

Done this chap a couple of weeks ago. Murderang kitbash with a contemptor.
