Introducing Venerable Dreadnaught Khufu of Set's Chosen 1st Company (Desert Dogs)

love the amazing, and from the looks of it expensive, kit bash!

Was a custom build by my little brother, who has been doing this for years

His little brother also happens to be Insaniak, Moderator of DakkaDakka and awesome converter.

Pic of the unpainted thing:

He is and I meant to put his name in the last post sorry mate lol

I have a few more unfinished pics but never got around to putting together a work in progress post

Heh... Awesome to see him looking all shiny. I think you hit the perfect mix of black and gold in the colour scheme... Looks all flash without being too over-the-top with the gold, and not too much black to blend in with the rest of the army.

The rust on the exhausts came up nice.

He could do with a bit of a highlight on the eyes and the targeter on his chest, just to make him pop a little more. For the really basic version, mix some about half and half white and blue, and then using the finest brush you can get your hands on, run a thin line horizontally across the center of the eyes, and on the bottom of the targetter lense. Then grab some white and add a tiny dot of white at the top of the lense, just to the right of center.


Love the way the base came up, also ... That's going to look brilliant on the rest of the guys.

Looks like there could be some room for boltgun metal in all those black details

Glad I have done some justice to him

Yeah can't wait to get the bases done on the squads

will give it a go with the eyes and targeter lens

thanks mate

thanks for the tip

That sure is a sweet conversion!

Great conversion! And a nice paint job too. The gold and black work well together. I agree with a little metallic drybrushing for the black to bring out some of the little machine bits.
