Do you mind if I ask how you managed to get those Puppetswar autocannon arms mounted so perfectly on that dread? Truly fantastic.

Thank you gentlemen.

It was very a very simple procedure: I used a small drill with a cutting blade attached to it. Like a small grinding disc that's spinning at the end of the drill, sideways. I just cut the shoulders in half with that, sanded the cut smooth and glued the cannons on the bottom.

Here's a groupshot of the models that are ready so far:



I made a change of Chapter. I decided I don't want to play vanilla marines forever, but I was interested in Blood Angels. I decided I need to find a successor chapter that I can play as vanilla until their codex gets renewed, then do a Blood Angels/allied Blood Angels force. Enter Blood Drinkers, who happened to have the exact colourscheme. Basically I just painted over the chapter symbols. Took a new front picture for the Dreadnought collage. The inquisitor symbol ontop of the Land Raider now bugs me, since it doesn't really fit ( old chapter, in my head, had tight relations with the Inquisition. ) Maybe it could be a symbol of the Inquisition sanctioning the chapter, as they were once on the brink of being declared heretics due to their habit of succumbing to the Flaw of the Blood Angels Geneseed. That too far fetched? Need I remodel that part?

The roof of the Land Raider now says "Sanguis Volans Sanctus" - Holy Flying Blood. I'm too neurotic to leave it hinting at the old chapter choice, lol.
