That's right, thanks to VACATIONS! I managed to finish the VenDread, destroying my painting hiatus in the process
First things first: pretty pictures!
I finished this guy some time ago, only missing the base, but like I explained I really wasn't in any condition to complete him. Well, that was the before, thanks to this week's vacations I spent some hours this last Monday finishing the base. Yes, hours, I'm slow! Anyway, see the poor dismembered bastard near the Dread's feet? Well, he's got an important role to play, he's an
HP Counter
All the pieces are magnetized so you can remove one each time the VenDread loses a
HP: That's the reason I didn't add intestines or other "ropey like" gore under the chest plate, it will be constantly removed. Overall, I had lots of fun painting the
CSM and using BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!
Some other cool details of the dread are the runes! I used this file with several warrior charms as inspiration:
I decided this Space Wolf had a particular sense of humor that he kept even after he was given the honor of using a Dreadnaught body. As such, the rune used for the Auto-cannon is for Peace:
The one used for the Melta is for Healing (Because, ya know, when you are shot with a Melta blast, no other harm will ever torment you.

)
And finally, I decided to use the rune for "End strife" for his Claw. That one isn't really too funny, I bet that thing is always ending Strife
All the weapons are magnetized so the loadout can be switched. A final parting shot of our friendly VenDread, this time carrying a Melta!
Well, that's all folks! I hope I'll be able to more often once the work schedule is a bit more regular. I really want to start painting my
SMs or Infinity
Until a next time and happy hobbying!
