I had some Sentinel legs in my bits box and it turned into a Chaos dreadnought for my GF:











A lot of plasticard was involved and it was a real blast to build

Looks good! Nice design. Only thing I would suggest is nick up the plastic card a bit before you paint it. You have two plates on the torso and the extra chaosy bits that have worn edges and then some new crispy plates. Then you are gold to paint the bugger!

Very nice. I really like the head/helmet and the "tail". Also the only time I've ever seen the flail bitz put to good use.

Might add some spikes/claws/ similar to the toes of the sentinel feet.

Nice dreadnought you've got there
Though the leg plates seems too clean. I'd like to see some trims attached.

Who's got skills? You do Steeldragon! Good work, mate! That's pretty much how I would imagine a dreadnought would look. Tall and not stubby like the normal ones. How long did this take to the original idea to gluing the last piece?

It took about 5-6 modelling afternoons... not really sure how many actual hours, I wanted to build something while my GF assembled her army... so I scavenged all the Chaos bits I could.

I'm torn between adding or not some trims... those should be done with green stuff but if I start adding putty I'm afraid I will never stop... guess I will know next weekend

The army colours will be black and purple (imagine Black Legion but with purple instead of gold)... I'm tempted to paint it myself...

The 'backwards' walking fashion of the sentinel legs works to give it a nice chaos feel, just a bit 'wrong' (in a good way, chaos should always be a bit wrong!). Nice work

Nice work there. Totally fits with Chaos. Also the only time I've ever seen the Defiler flails put to good use..those things are so ugly. Can't wait to see it painted.

It looks great. What is the paint scheme for the beast?
