I just recently finished my second VDCF dread. It's a conversion of the GW metal Venearable dread but I've tried to make it a bit more "active" than the normal pose;

I'll echo what nurglitch said as well.

The GW ven dred is an abomination. This is quite a silk purse out of that sow's ear.

Did you just use the standard arms from the furioso?

Thanks for all the comments!

Valhallan42nd: Those are a mix of a standard plastic left arm and an older metal Furioso arm.

warpcrafter: It is a chaos mk v head as Valhallan42nd spotted correctly.

em_en_oh_pee: That is the old style BA decal i've used on the loincloth.

ShumaGorath: Here are a few of the WIP pics I took before settling on the final pose;

I love the Chaos helmet on it - looks awesome. That really gives me some inspiration for converting a Ven Dread now.

I love the pose; he really looks like he wants to come through the screen and rip me to pieces! The Chaos helmet really fits the whole theme.

I really like how you made the Ven Dread work. A lot of great details in there.

I also like some of the other models in the background.

How about an army shot?

No earth shattering, thought provoking quote. I'm just someone who was introduced to 40K in the late 80's and it's become a lifelong hobby.

Yea I really like your conversion work on there. That head makes it look old as sin, which IMO is how a venerable dred gets that way, being to old to count. Seriously nice work there. Give yourself a high five and an ass smack... for good luck I guess

Best dread I've EVER seen. And when I saw that model on FW I thought that, with the Chaplain-Biker-Wings, it looked like ass. Excellent work.
