Those autocannons make fro a great rifleman!

**Imperial Monkey**

Agreed, they're from the planetstrike barrier things right.... As always your grey is absolutely brilliant.

**Knightley**

@Graven - Interesting what did you have in mind model wise?

@Tipios - Thanks

@Gits - yes, and not to hard to convert to fit either!

@I M - Yeah the Ageis Defense line IIRC, I still need to buy another one for another dread that needs to be made.

Update: pulled a long night, but got him done

**tipios**

That head is outstanding. Model is great, but the head!!!!!!terminator

**Yellowbeard**

Wow! The whole model is great, Knightley - again, I love the red on the model - but I agree with tipios: the head is fantastic! Nice work.

**Gitsplitta**

Crisp and grey, as advertised! (beautiful job)

Wonderful use of red to keep the model interesting.

**Swordwind**

Sure that's the right before model? Doesn't look remotely the same to me.

Great work anyway, can't wait to see what's next.

**Casey's Law**

Wonderful job, man!

**whalemusic360**

Would not have thought that the same dread. I like the 2.0 better.

**inmygravenimage**

We can rebuild him! We have the technology! The 6 billion credit man! Ba-ba-ba-ba-BAH!

**Young_Logan**

Epic Dreadnought fix, that all nighter was really worth it

this army gets better and better

**Knightley**

@Tipios - I'm glad you like it, I wasn't sure if the dark bronze color would work, turns out it does

@Yellowbeard - Thank you!

@Gits - Thanks I would have liked to include more white into the model, but really struggled to find a place to put it.

@Swordwind - I knew this question would pop up. The only way to tell its the same model is to look at the shin guard (there is a GS shield on the plate) and the smoke launchers on the top, everything else was upgraded

@WM - Cheers, I do as well. That and I needed a psyrifleman dread for the GK part of my army.

@Graven - Able to jump 9ft tall space marines in a single bound, able to run faster than a demolisher shell from a Leman Russ. It's super dread. Nuff said

@Young_Logan - Thank you, after the next push I believe I will need to take separate pictures of the armies to get it all in.

Update: Jet bike sgt is up next

**Lorna**

Looking good bro. draigo look sweet.

Got the first colours down on your dude. Hopefully i have them done soon, will try to post pictures tomorrow.

**inmygravenimage**

Nice job mate, and great to see this kinda coming full circle!

**Knightley**

@Lorna - Yay, I look forward to seeing them

@Graven - Same, been itching to see all three side by side.

Update: worked on the bike, first stage Grey done

**bigfish**

yeah, that dread is really really nice, got to love that face. And this new bike, mmmmmm nice

**whalemusic360**

So why do the front plasma's have bolter mags?

**lipsdapips**

Nice as always Knightley. I fail to understand how you're so consistant with both painting quality and update frequency, inspiring!

**Swordwind**

Bet he's a robot. A frighteningly efficient robot.

**Casey's Law**

Your Jetbike makes me happy!

**tipios**

Bike is looking sweeet!

**Knightley**

@Bigfish - Cheers, turns out I must be pretty good at faces in some cases then.

@WM - Umm... look over there <---- to be honest I wasn't sure how to change it and seeing as no one brought it up before, I didn't bother to change it. Consider its powered shots by a small plasma shell via a magazine?

@LDP - Sticking to a goal I guess, I wanted to do an update every day, so I then need to get something to paint each night

@Swordwind - Or that.

@C L - Your comments make me happy!

@Tipios - Thank you.

Update: more done on the bike body

**Matt.Kingsley**

ooh, looking good. I love your jetbikes, they look more sleek than other designs I've seen

Having met him today, I can safley say that he is not a robot, just a genius. You thought the models looked good on the interwebs! In person they are fantastic. Thanks for all your advice, and for the GMS marine knightley

**inmygravenimage**

You say that. Maybe he's a transformer; he had a bike as his fb pic for a bit. Like that hot chick deception in the extremely rubbish transformers movie. Or maybe a cylon. Yeah. Hey Lucy Lawless was one, and she's from parts antipodes. Yup. Clearly a cylon. Wom-Wom. Wom-Wom.

Also, I realise what my niggle is about this. Plasma guns have got bolter clips still. A fix, which would require no remodelling, would be in the painting - big glowy plasma osl to make it looking like a power cell instead. Just a wee thought.

**Matt.Kingsley**

^^Aye, do that

^ PMSL. First time I've seen that version of that meme.
Yay, derailing

that'll teach him for posting a day ahead of the rest of us.

Derail to the max!

Okay last thing, do you guys all post on your blogs at the same sort of time or something? If so that's pretty awesome.

**Knightley**

@M.K - Cheers, this guy should look pretty good as well.

@Proto - Haha, you're far to kind. As I said if you wanted another time to go through more painting I'm more than happy to help out.

@Graven - Brilliant, the tangent was fantastic. I wish I was a transformer I'd make some serious money from it! and good idea about the plasma OSL bit. Let me think on it.

@C L - Brilliant I was aware of the top three looking the same, not the bottom ones, nice find.

I usually post around 11am during the weekdays and at random times on the weekends.

Update: More of the bike done
