Simply astonishing. That's great work!

**soncka**

I like the paintjob, the freehand and the pose, but since it's a Space Wolf it's not for me.
Good job, nonetheless.

Nice work. Just one critique- Snow on a plasma cannon?!?! Really?

**Beamo**

Thanks for the comments and votes everyone.

Any snow that drifted on to the coils, like the smoke stacks on his back, or the blades of his claw, would instantly melt, but in a snow storm, it would be inclined to stay on the plates, at least for a very brief period of time.

absolute win

**TheTaurans**

Amazing work

**wtwlf123**

Outstanding work man.

**monkeyh**

This is brilliant - 10/10.

**jspyd3rx**

10/10 The best GW model I have ever seen. Email it to them and they must show it off.

**rodgers37**

That is pretty amazing (and by pretty amazing, i mean probably the best Dread and one of the best models i have ever seen)

Was this done for any specific purpose, like a painting competition. Or are all your miniatures this good?

**Yugsor2011**

That is what Bjorn should look like man its outstanding

**General_Chaos**

Awesome Paint, Awesome Conversion, Awesome Basing, Freaking Awesome you deserve a 10 on CMON I couldn't touch your skill if I took a year on a model.

But... I just don't like that head... Doesn't look right on the model to me

and I think snow is a bit over done....

I'd say he trumps my other miniatures, simply because I put so much more effort into him, and did a lot more experimenting on him to create an eye-catching model. He's going to WargamesCon in Austin this weekend, and the Golden Daemons in Chicago at the end of the month, along with a Rune Priest that I'll hopefully get finished in time.

Other than that, he'll be the centerpiece of my SW army, unless someone ends up wanting him so bad they make me an offer I can't refuse.

**Deacis657**

I've seen a pic here and there on the gallery for this guy, but he is flippin awesome!

**a1steaks**

Fantastic work!

**djphranq**

Great Job! I love the CCW!

**insaniak**

Lovely work. I particularly like the glow on the lightning claws. Understated but very effective.

**Da Big Mek**

My jaw hit the floor when i saw this, it's simply amazing and must look striking on the table.

**kessingerm05**

First off excellent job on the paint job I'm very impressed, second I'm also creating a custom bjorn but I'm curious as to what shade of metal or gray you used for the base armor plating I really like the color palate you chose and I'm just curious as to what colors you used for the entire model.

**Serder**

ok, the glow ont he claws looks like leds on the pictures, wow

**kingjayko**

epic. one word: epic.

**Miraclefish**

That is truly incredible . And exactly as I picture Bjorn having just finished Battle of the Fang.

You, sir, win at both 40K and the Internet!

**Norn King**

Holy crap.

**Ratius**

Really great work, the glowing Claw, pose and banner are stunning.

But Im going to have to be honest and give some criticism towards the head. I really dont like it for the following reasons:
its too small
the color dosent fit in with the rest of the tone of the model (white/bone vs dull gunmetal)
it dosent seem to fit with the model overall.

Still a great model though but if the head were changed imho it would be perfect.

**Nightfall**

Wow... that is one of the best Dreads EVER!!

**azazel the cat**

On the claw: did you light it up, or did you just paint OSL? I honestly cannot tell.

**Great White**

Thats really good.

**TheLionOfTheForest**

Epic

**wolferine59**

Just WHAOU.............. a great piece

**Mafty**

what brand of paints do you use? and what color of greys where used in this model?
