Hi, here's my attempt to give the standard dread a different look opinions please just bear in mind it's not finished being painted.

**iior**

Looks good so far, modelling and painting-wise. Very neatly painted. Is it me or are those lascannon muzzles on the exhaust pipes?

**Tim the Biovore**

It would appear so.

**bullyboy76**

Yep there sure are lol cheers for the comments.

**Wyrmalla**

Might do with a bit of cloth or the like hanging down over the legs from the carapace to break up the big blocks of colour there, but a nice model anyhow that's conservative enough not to be mistaken for any of the other variants. =P

**Imperial Monkey**

I like it, especially that shade of yellow. Doesn't look too gaudy like many IF around. Some battle damage and that'll look great!

All that nice conversion work is excellent....but those mold lines on the exhaust conversions are killing me!

How do you know that the forgeworld didn't cast those pieces?

It's looking very nice, if not a little unbalanced top v. bottom. I'd maybe consider molding some shinguards (I guess that's what you'd call them) to make the dread look a little more imposing. Two thumbs up though!

edit: It's really noticeable in the side profile view.

yes going to add some scrolls and other little bits to ballance the bottom out that for the comments.

Agreed, get those shinguards on because right now it looks like one little kick to the shins and the whole dread would keel over.
