Under 3.5 they were Doom Sirens. Under the current rule set they are just decoration. I soooooo miss the flavor that the 3.5 codex brought to the table.

Enjoy.

Looks good. Too bad I'll never be able to use it. If its not offical GW stuff, no one around here will want to play against it.

Thats how I took it, as a compliment. Since my noise marines can't actually make noise, I painted them in loud colors. The over all effect is actually really good as I have gotten loads of compliments from those who have seen them in person.

Ok i guess i get lost lolz too much caffeine in my grot body i guess the word you should have use insead of absurd was unique lol sorry im obsesed with words

It's a rather 'random' color scheme, but he pulled it off perfectly. No way I could get highlights like that on the defiler! They're basically perfect

The 2 forgeworld dreads I just completed together:

Happy halloween! pumpking defiler fur life!

WOW, not a fan of the UM, but those dreads are amazing. Can i get a close up of the missile launcher?

This is my favorite model in the entire game. It started life as a loyalist plastic dreadnought, the shoulder mounted arms got some nurgling treatment, and did the smoke launcher replaced by other nurglings. The leg guards are acutally made from a spare extra armor bit from a defiler kit, heated up and some green stuff to add to the raised area to keep it consistent looking.

BTW How do you reduce the size of the images? I had them orginally posted at half this size on two, but when I put up the right hand view of the dreadnought all the images when supersize again. I've reduced the pixils from about 3000 x 3000 to about 450 x 450.

god like paint job pure epicness

Wow. I'm in awe of the orignial and reposts above.

But I am undanted! Someone has to follow those unnaturally amazing peices, so I'm throwing in not one, not two, but THREE of my favorite dreads.


Dread #1 is a World Eater WIP that was slapped together at the last moment for a 5,000 pt (per side) absolutely insane tarpit of a 40K game of my Chaos legion vs. my friends Hive Fleet. The model is the old Furioso Space Marine Dreadnought with a Warmachine buzzsaw for a close combat weapon and a heavy flamer under the other power claw. Yes, I know the nozzle for the flamer sticks out too far... I haven't modeled the claws out yet.


Dread #2 is also from that same game but was completed before we started playing. It is a Death Guard Dreadnought using the standard Chaos model with the missile launcher from the old Dark Angels Dreadnought. This model is finished.

Dread #3 is another Furioso Dreadnought with a old plastic Plasma cannon fitted over the assault cannon and wires added for the effect. I put this model together in '96 or '97 when I was first trying out CSM and created my own chapter from Mk VI Marines. All hail the Dark Lords! I am going to put a new base on it but other than that is is as finished as it is going to get. I've included 2 pics of this one because I really like it.

Wow... those have to be the two finest dreads I've seen in a while.

I submit only (and therefore "best" Dreadnought) Brother Silas:



He could still use some cleaning up...

Really liking that claw on the dread!

Looks great henners! Did you do it over a basecoat of white? I've heard DA look great over white.

He's a little dated, but I like him. Going to start painting my Bjorn conversion soon, so I'll hopefully top this.

The space wolf dread is really nice,good job.

love the space wolf dread man... gd work...

Couple of Blood Angels Dreadnoughts I did up - Furioso's really came out nice, but ended up selling all of them. Took the army in a different direction (all jump pack assault troops).

Your link is broken... though I saw them in your gallery, they look very nice.

To be honest comparing an Elite walker to Jump Infantry troops doesn't really make a whole lot of sense. They both have their place.

But anyway, they do look really nice.

well, this is a mega dread, but... (and it was on another part of the forum a while back...) - I know the base was not to good, but imagine it is not there!

Here are some other of my dreadnoughts. Some done, other WIP. To make one point clear: i love magnets. And nearly all of my dreads are magnetized.

^ The first and only dreadnought i ever painted. he was a blast to paint, too bad he seemed to enjoy shooting at his comrades more than the enemy.
