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.

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.

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!

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

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?

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.

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