Warboss - No need to apologise, I did not make it clear that I had the same idea, Ijust posted the picture in your thread so you could see that it was a good idea and you should do it, so it is totally my fault for the misunderstanding.

Oh and my aim is to do as many different chaos dreads as possible, so yes I will like to try to make an undivided dread, good luck with yours

**Warboss Imbad Ironskull**

Well you deffinitly seem to have a nack for it

I'd like to see your take on a dreadnough that isn't piloted by a Chaos Marine but is possessed by a daemon, but anyway keep up the good work

**btemple0**

Oh yes, from a pervious question asked to me, I have not converted any nids, I just like to paint them like cockroaches, so those TFGs and Annoying Game Store Kids, will not touch them.

**tipios**

Warboss - Do you mean, like a short of daemon prince conversion?

btemple0 - Im really going for your idea of barrel ontop of the dread, I've only got a barrel from the leman russ spure, and was going to cut it in half and stick it on top. Hope to have that done tomorrow. Or should I try and find a differnet type of container?

Today I've got a couple more things done.

A bitz order for a twinlinked lascannon came today, so I got straight onto my sonic blaster.

Cut the lascannons off, and pinned the blaster, also stuck on the chaos symbol.

Then I've just got to GS the gap.

I'm thinking of leaving the the dreads mouth open, and using GS to sculpt the bottom half of the daemon face, I've also got a dragons tounge that can stick out.(still just a thought)

Now for mr nurgle.
With the latest bitz order I also got my nurgle symbols.

The claw arm is put together next. The same way as the khorne dread.

I forgot to show this stage of the arm last time. It's packed out with GS to help give it strength.

Before gluing the back plate on, you can see in the next photo some plastic needs to removed to allow the dreads arm pin to slot in.

Finished.

Now I just need to go over the upper arm with the rotary tool, and and some pusssyness and veins.

After btemple0s advice the next thing to do is to add the puss feeder for the puss gun, and after looking at some nurgle tanks that have a short of puss cannon, the puss gun needs much more GS work, luckily I've bought a load of it

Lastly I took a group photo of the boys, showing work done so far.

The only too main things to do now, is the khorne twin linked auto cannon, and the slaanesh claw fist which is gona be the right hand claw from the ironclad, converted the left.
Any surggestions welcome.

**btemple0**

You can get some of the thinner rubber surgical tubinb and connect it to the barrel and the other end of the tube goes to something that is like a cauldron which would ride on top.

then you GS over the other end of the barrel to make it look like there is a biological relase point for a pus cannon

**Warboss Imbad Ironskull**

No not like a DP, it isn't too far stretched to say that Chaos Marines would plunder and defile captured Space Marine equiptment. And dreadnoughts aren't always in use or occupied so if a Chaos force had recently aquired a Dreadnought shell and had no one to put in it then it could be possible for it to be possessed by a daemon in the same way as other chaos vehicles ya see where I'm going with this?

**tipios**

Ok but i thought, using the skulls and face, as the sarcophagus was a bit daemony already, thats why I put them inside where the marine would be instead of just stuck on the front.

**BlutEisenRegel**

Amazing dreads. Truly inspiring work.

**tipios**

Thanks BlutEisenRegel, I like your ork plane, and bike conversion

Quick update on Nurgle.

The rotary tool was out to mash up the armour,

and my final decision on the puss feeder, was to place t on the arm, not on top of the dread. Rotary tool again, now just left to do a mega GS puss gun sculpt, and finish the GS on the claw arm.

It looks like Nurgle will be the next dread finished, as I'm having so much fun doing it.

**btemple0**

I see you found soemthing to hold the pus, now you just need a tube. Were you able to find any elastic or plastic tubing you could GS over?

Great work so far on the Pus cannon.

**Warboss Imbad Ironskull**

Eh that's fair I guess but to me that's more like metal that has been carved to look like a daemon instead of an actual daemon ya know? and skulls don't really say daemon to me

the daemon would take the dreadnought and mutate it alot, I guess I'm thinking something like a Soul Grinder except in dreadnought form. Maybe I'll do it myslf

Oh and the mold on your dread looks good, it reminds me of that green mossy slime that builds up on lake beds.

**tipios**

Thanks btemple0 - I have not got any tubing at home, but I saw this on the net last night. http://www.hiroboy.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=93&products_id=3629, I'ts just a bit expensive, but looks intresting. At work today I hope to find something.

Warboss - I got you now. When my GS skills get better I would like to sculpt something like that.

**Melkhiordarkblade**

If you're looking for a nice tube,I remember Lego had some thing like it.

You can see the tube bit at the head.
I'm sure lego bits will be easier to find.

**tipios**

Nice one Melkhiordarkblade

looking now.

**bunnygurl**

I really like the group shot.

**Hyenajoe**

I can't wait to see some paint on your new dreads, especially on the Nurgle one! I really like the pus cannon, and the filed armor plate!

Your slaanesh dread is very promising, and since you've decided to leave it's mouth open, I suggest you give him some teeth or tongue(s). I'm planning to give chainsaw teeth to my Corpse Grinder (using CSM chainswords and this defiler breastplate)

**tipios**

@bunnygurl - next group shot I will do will be all painted, I hope, maybe next year lol!

@hyenajoe - I've just ordered a load of lego pipes that look very promising(thanks too Melkhiordarkblade) for the puss feeder, I've also started to GS pussy skin over the cannon it's self(pics up later). So if all goes well painting could start this weekend on nurgle. Now I've seen your WIP of you upper arms, I might be working on khorne tonight because I really like that idea of cutting up the chaos symbols, and want to give that a go.

On the slaanesh I've got the dragons tongue from the high elf model, and I'm planning to GS bigger upper teeth and add lower teeth with a bottom jaw

.

Wait, you can say that?

Group shot looks inspiring, Tip.

**tipios**

wooooooooooooooooooooooops!!!! I must have been thinking of something else when I wrote that lol!!

**Space_Potato**

If you want any ideas, game-wise, you could use the pus-cannon as a missile launcher (lots of dilute acid = frag, concentrated bile = krak)

Keep up the awesome work!

S_P

**tipios**

Thanks Space_Potato

I forgot the football was on tonight, so didn't get alot done

Here's the pus cannon GS so far. I need to go all around the barrel

I have finally started the khorne's autocannon. Just the barrel position done so far, to give me an idead of what it looks like.

The ammo drums will be at the back of the arm.

**ZacktheChaosChild**

Looking amazing so far. I readily await the day when I can see them all finished.

**BlutEisenRegel**

And thank you!

**Warboss Imbad Ironskull**

So your Slaanesh Sound Cannon got me to thinking Tipios, that is honestly something I've never seen before or heard of and is very god/legion specific. Have you thought of anything else like that?

For instance I'm thinking of how I could make a "container" on a Khorne Dreds back that is a portable shrine to Khorne. Some sort of basket that warriors can throw skulls and heads into, besides what is a greater shrine to khorne then a giant walking killing machine?

You have any ideas?

**tipios**

@ZacktheChaosChild - thanks, I hope to have nurgle finished next week.

@BlutEisenRegel - your welcome

@Warboss Imbad Ironskull - The basket is a good idea. I would try making a sacrifice hole on top of the dread, with chaos markings and the new deamon prince back spikes all around it. The hole would be full up with skulls and heads. Oh maybe you could leave the top of the dread off, so it could be filled up with skulls, bodies, and heads. Put spikes all around the top. The driver could be a bloodletter chained to the front. The weapons would be a chain fist and a claw, which would be long enough to reach up to place the victims in the sacrifice hole. Dam, I might have to start another dread now:(

Have you thought of using the Vampire Counts Corpse cart pile of bodies? Perhaps it's a little oversized but it would look great on top of a Dreadnought.

**tipios**

Hyenajoe, that does look the part. If it is too big, maybe the dread could pull it along:O The spikes look really good, I think it could be down sized and put on top.

Slaanesh got a new tongue, teeth, and claw today.

Also I got some work done on the khorne auto cannon. This is just to show me where the ammo drum will go. I can't cut the plastic straight enough with the tools I've got, so need to go shopping. Then I can finish it off.

Nurgle got GS today too. I hope all my tubing comes tomorrow. Then it will be well on the way for painting this weekend.

What green is good for nurgle? I might have to order some paint.

See I wasen't thinking about putting a hole into the dreadnought, I'm thinking of an actual basket mounted on the dreadnoughts back with maybe chains that are punched into the metal in between its exhaust pipes, almost like an Iron brazzier just filled with skulls and heads. You gave me an idea though that I could have a Bloodletter hanging off the back of the basket with a spear that it uses to stab severed heads as the dreadnought passes by.

**Melkhiordarkblade**

The Slaanesh Dread was a KISS fan in life.

**Hyenajoe**

I love the tongue! (part of being French I guess

)

The ammo drum is impressive, great plasticard job!
