I dub him Capt Deus Venator
I made some real progress on him.
I used the skulls from the cruxes on the sprue to give the greaves something extra.
I envision them as the skulls of his old command squad qho died to a man protecting thier fallen Captain.
I know the chapter serfs would not let a relic of the chapter tarnish like this but I could not resist trying some new techniques.
I am in the process of weathering him and will have to think of a way to base him soon.

**Old Man Ultramarine**

Very Nice

**StarGate**

ok AT FIRST GLANCE i though it was a steel dread( one made out of steel) Love the paint and chipping effects... iF i didnt know it was plastic i would be wondering how heavy it was.

**johnnyT**

I had to actually register an account (vs. just lurking here like I always do) to comment on this. I freaking LOVE the copper patina on the left panel. This is one classy job.

**Alpharius**

Looking very nice indeed!

The new plastic one does give the FW Venerables a bit of a run for their money, but I still prefer them to this.

Though awesome paint jobs like this one make it a closer race every day!

**The_Chaplain**

Wow, can we get a painting tutorial/recipe for the copper patina on the sarcophagus and weapon arms please?

**insaniak**

Nice work. I love the copper plates.

**Munch Munch!**

Good job!

**Joetaco**

only would have been better if it was a Crimson Fists Dread

But really, its awesome great job

**Eisenhorn**

Here is the Drednought more or less complete.
I may add a few scratches more on his back and add some dust on his feet
This was a great kit I am going to now have to wait like everyone else to buy another of these kits to work on in the future.
I am looking forward making to a newer style chapel dred

**em_en_oh_pee**

Love it.

**Alpharius**

The more I see the variant Power Fist 'hand', the more I like the 'original' version!

It just looks a bit too big to me.

Still, again, you've done an amazing job on it!

I especially like the weathering and battle damage.

Do you have a lot more IF stuff painted up?

As well as, wait for it!, your recipe for yellow?

**Eisenhorn**

Wait til you see the hand in person,I though I'd hate it too.
But I really hate the stubby claw.
Here are the other arms that come with the kit.
I have the new ironclad arms on order,expect some nice chainfist goodness soon.

my yellow is Vomit Brown base with a Yellow ink glaze over it.

**OnTheEdge**

I must say that your battle damage is spot on, great work

//Edge

**Cathexis**

Very nice, I agree, battle damage is excellent! Really great job!

**Eisenhorn**

Here are the final painted pics I took using mu portable photo studio

**DarkAngelsRK**

Very cool. LOVE the battle damage, as said already.

**EmperorsChampion**

Very nice model, though I must know how you did the battle damage, because it looks great!

**CT GAMER**

An excellent job on a cool kit. Plans for basing?

**Nightwatch**

To be honest, I don't quite like the color scheme, but even so, it's a superb job. Good work.

**Eisenhorn**

Here is the Finished model redubbed Venerable Captain Charlemagne a veteran of the Siege who fell to a grevious melta wound in the trenches of the Iron Cage.
I based him on a Manufactorum Panel with small slate and barbed wire from the OOP urban basing kit

**Ultra mortalitas**

Hah, thats makes him the oldest dreadnought there is.

Nice work, love the battle damage.

**sonofruss**

Um no that honor belongs to Bjorn The Fellhanded

**Eisenhorn**

Bjorn(the Man) was born a decade or two earlier that is why he is technecally the oldest

**sonofruss**

In all the fluff he is the oldest living loyalist space marine the only beings older are the emperor and the fallen primarcs

**Ultra mortalitas**

Hmm. I'm corrected then.

**LunaHound**

The painting is really good , if its me i would keep it like:

**Arrathon**

Very nice, Was wondering if the chipping effect is painted or if you actually cut into the model

**Eisenhorn**

I think this is the best complement yet.
It is painted on No Drednoughts were harmed in the making of this mini

**Shas'O Mont'yr**

Robute Gulliman is supposed to be alive
