Thanks wolfshadow

Unfortunately my wife has seized the dinning table back, for eating off of

She attacked me with constant nagging, I had to yield

After this weekends sunday dinner for mothers day is over I plan a sneak attack, slowly taking the table back with one model of a time

**RSJake**

HAHA! I use the dining table too! of course, I have to clean it completely off every night! Puts a damper on "quick" jobs! Besides, if I leave stuff out on the table the cat will knock it off on the floor, and sometimes will hide things under the couch....so it's just easier to put everything away.

Fight for your space! Even if it's an inch at a time!

Someday we'll have a bigger house, and my very own room for crafts and hobbies! *sigh*

**Hyenajoe**

So you fight the neverending war for domination over the dinning table too?
One day, brothers, the victory will belong to us! One day...

Vile chaos, ever creeping!

**tipios**

Ha guys this brings a whole new meaning to table top battles

**Arken Vul'tan01**

Just wow!

**JoeyHeadwounds**

I love chaos dreadnoughts in general, and these are really good. Keep it up

**lanman**

these are fantastic i cannot wait to see them all finished

**Skalk Bloodaxe**

Checking out the stuff I missed. Sorry to hear about the seizure of the dinner table. Hoping you get your space back before long. Tell her you have an adoring public that is clamoring for more conversion greatness!

**Matt.Kingsley**

Hell yeah! This is awesome! Great Work!

**Pluxtheduck**

I'd just like to say wow!!!

I'm thinking of doing Dread conversions and I've found my inspiration!

I love some of your help when it comes to my "War Machine" Daemon Prince, if that were possible...

I have little idea of what to do...

**tipios**

Sorry guys for being slow on the updates, I have not done any work these past weeks, because of holidays, and a trip to hospital that was not planned

Thanks everyone for your comments

Hi Stalk, I will have the table back soon

@Plux the duck - Thanks, and I'll be glad to help if I can

**JoeyHeadwounds**

Sorry to hear about the unscheduled trip to the hospital, I hope everything turned out ok.

**Skalk Bloodaxe**

Was this a modeling mishap?

Looking forward to seeing whatever you do next.

**Just Dave**

Wow. I can't believe I only just found this thread. I love your work man; the Dreadnought's look great, so much different from the usual!
I can't decide whether my favourite is the Nurgle Dread or the Slaanesh one...
Your painting's as good as the converting too, particularly the weathering on the TS Dreadnought; beautiful. Well, beautiful painting, this is Chaos...

My one qualm would be that I think the Khornate Dreadnought would look so much better with a Juggernaut/Bloodcrusher head, rather than it's current. Otherwise, stellar work. Keep it up!

**tipios**

@JoeyHeadwounds - I'm still alive so, yey!! thanks, I seem to be ok

@skalk - I am surprised that I have not been to hospital because of a modeling mishap, what with all this choping up of stuff

@just dave - Thanks for the praise man, chaos dreads are so much fun to convert, I love it

, Maybe the next dread I start will have the juggernaut head, I did buy a few with that in mind, but can't remember why I didn't do it.

Sorry to everyone waiting to see some finished jobs, I just have not got round to it. Although I started painting my nurgle, and was happy with the moss effect I was getting on the arm, I am not confident enough to do all the detailing, especially the face. So I need more practice with painting to finish that one. I am confident that I can do a metal look, so Iron Warriors is next to be done.

And today I got down to some battle damage, and some horns to cover up some gaps were the termie body is stuck on. The horns are from the new Storm of magic chaos sorcerer lord. I didn't buy him just for the horns

I bought him to enter this compo http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/378516.page so they were just laying there on the table

and I think they fit nicely.

**Skalk Bloodaxe**

Glad to know you're back on your feet and back converting amazing stuff again. I am running out of ways to say "wow that's awesome!" so instead I'll say that I really enjoy your conversions and always look forward to seeing more.

How many Dreadnoughts do you have total now?

**tipios**

Thanks Skalk, I've got 5 ATM

**Limbo**

I'm about as original as Skalk, so I'll just echo his respons ;P

Oh, and at this pace I won't beable to finish my homework this summer, so I'll apologize now master tipios -.-

**tipios**

lol, limbo. As it is you, i will give you a couple of weeks extra to finish

**tony_nids_10**

That is quite possibly one of the coolest dreads I have seen in a long time! Great use of bits and the bullet holes in the armour are a great touch. I really like the fact that it's not over the top and covered in spikes like a porcupine on steroids

**tipios**

I'm going for a really dark look on the Iron warrior. The heads gona stay black, right breast plate will have hazard stripes, trimmings will be gold, and SM armour will be yellow as they are parts from the IF.

I've tried adding to much paint on the left plate, which has started to make a nice weathered look. It looks like rust is building up in places.

**tony_nids_10**

That is going to look amazing painted the way you described! Are you going to keep the legs pretty standard or are they going to get the kitbash treatment as well?

**tipios**

Thanks tony, I only changed the feet on the legs

**tony_nids_10**

Sounds good mate, looking forward to seeing some color.

**tipios**

Got to work on the rust today!!

I still need to finish off the plasma gun, and decide on how I'm gona do his engine.

Also I need to get some thin masking tape to do the stripes, theres no way I can freehand it

**GiraffeX**

Looking good tipios, the rust effect is really well done.

**tipios**

Thanks Giraffex, rust is the 1 thing I learnt from my first dread.

**tipios**

Got a load of new paint today, so started the painting the trims.

**Moltar**

That looks awesome, Tipios! He's going to be quite fearsome when he's all done. "Missile launcher on legs!"
