**Valkyrie**

Awesome, can't wait until they come out!

Edit: Where did you get those transfers with the scripture on them?

**Enzephalon**

Besides the awesome paintjob I still think this model looks like a headless robot mother giving birth to her little robot baby... legs first.

Anyway...
For the given time you did a great job here.

**Fury_00011**

Beautiful work can't wait to get one for my self

**bigmek35**

very nice!

**VicStaUk**

looked at 1 of these bad boys yesterday, as i only paint, i will be getting 1 of these when they come out!

**Lord_Osma**

I can't wait for my own.

**2xeagle**

didnt like the model that much before, def changed my mind good work

**The Ravening Jaw**

Excellent work... especially considering the time crunch. Not sure if I will ever own one of these but they definitely look nice. Would love a break down of the construction process etc.

Thanks for the feedback all!

**Owain**

Nicely done! The more I see this model, the more it starts to grow on me.

**ravage79**

Very nice, I can`t wait to see how well these guys do on the table

**Breotan**

Okay, here's some constructive criticism. Or perhaps I should call it a suggestion. Take a look at this thread and look at the nmm sword held by wtwlf123's Imperial Fist Commander. Do that to the sword on your Dreadknight. Seriously, it's too awesome not to do.

**ph34r**

How pose-able was it during construction? Could you have done a more dynamic pose?

**Knightley**

I am completely envious that you've had access to build and paint one of these while the majority of us have to wait till April!

Given the time constraints you've done a masterful job any details on how you painted him so well in such a short time?

Good feedback, I am still working on blending / wet blending, that NMM is impressive and hard to do, next time!

Post build info tomorrow, arms are pretty flexable, legs not to much

**tom_gledhill7**

Very well done! If you wouldn't mind me asking, how did you do the silver? What paints did you use for layer's and highlights etc. I only ask because I think I'm going to build a small grey knight contingent to compliment my growing ultramarine company. Thanks!

**SilverMK2**

Any chance you can add your images to the Dakka gallery so I can see them at work?

Be interested to see what you have done with the kit.

**R10T**

Amazing paint job! I feel this model could have been so much cooler design wise than GW made it. Really its a shame, but yours looks stunning!

**Lycaeus Wrex**

This pose looks 10x better than the 'waving arms in the air' version that GW put forward. Painting is lovely too!

L. Wrex

**Skarshak**

Excellent!
The more I see the Dreadknight, the more I like it!

**Redfinger**

The model reminds me of the "warmonger" Iron Man variant from the first iron man movie. Great work, the little hazard strip is a nice accent/touch.

**jed**

even if I don't end up going with a new grey knight army I'm gettting one of these and maybe another to convert for my orks)

**rwzimmerman**

The silver is fantastic. What colors and techniques did you us on it? I didn't see any mention of it on your blog.

**privateherbert24**

I like how exposed the pilot is. Silly sm, learn to hide your pilots. one lucky visor shot...
oh, btw, nice painting ^.^

**DX3**

Can't wait for my Orks to loot one of these.. HahA!

**2PaintPots**

Pure awesome!

**thesilverback**

Awesome job, can't wait to see Ork looting projects.

**praetor24**

This is a really nice work you have done there. And definitely much better posing than the GW one.

I was wondering, does it have any worth for use in space marines Dreadnoughts conversions? I know that the model is much taller than the Dreadnought, but I was wandering if some parts could be usable.
