Thought I'd share my creations on this thread too - Blood Angels Furioso Librarian and a Dark Angels Venerable Deathwing Dread. Enjoy

Nice trompe l'oeil. Freehand is stellar! Lenses are fantastic. This is an absolutely gorgeous model!

Maledictus- 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.

Ha!

I'm gonna have to finish my dread soon so i can put it on here! Also, those 2 dready's a coupla posts above mine are gakking awesome

So i have been through all these pages and all of these dreads look amazing. This is a very inspirational thread and makes me want to buy a dread and get it painted just to post up here.

For Furiosos, do you guys buy the Venerable and Ironclad or just get FW claws? and is it worth it?

For me I used one venerable dread and converted the force weapon from the heavy weapon arm. Saying that I did buy 3 venerables and 2 ironclads to build the remaining 2 furiosos i haven't painted with fist hands from the venerable and arms from the ironclad. All those additional weapons have been used on my stomraven conversion (inc the hurricane bolters), and most of the other bits too.

I will show mine off tomorrow when I finish painting them and get them here on Dakka Dakka!

They are Space Wolf Dreads.

These are probably the two loudest dreads I've ever seen. They're pretty cool, the conversion work is skilled, and the paintjobs are nice, but goddamn are they noisy.

This thread is nice.

Here's my Dread



Made the twin-linked autocannon using the Missile launcher shoulder, two IG autocannons and some greenstuff.

cool conversion, always loved the look of the autocannons...
some day i have to do a rifleman...

Technically the "basecoat" is Red Gore, since he was a Blood Raven Dreadnought formerly xD

But yes, I've experimented with white on some things, DA Green is great for achieving toning when it's applied over white: So if you're doing an inconsistent surface like a tabard or robe, applying slightly watered down DA green over a white basecoat leads to some nice(ish) results

I tend to use a black undercoat on most things though, I like "Dark" Angels after all...

WOOOOOTT

I FINALLY FINISHED THEM! Also Finished taking Pictures of them and fixing them into a nice one!

All three of my best Dreads EVER PAINTED!




I hope you like them. Here is link to original pictures where they are not Auto Adjusted...A little more light source so they look different. Almost better I think...I think the link will work for you guys,

There are some gorgeous dreadnoughts in this thread. Thanks

My Death Guard Dreadnought...modelled in the days that Daemonic Possession was actually a vehicle upgrade for dreadnoughts. His hobbies include shooting his comrades and occasionally obliterating the enemy.



Made from a plastic dread (melted with a lighter), forge world arms, Great Unclean One head, Great Unclean One arm (model from the 80's), cocktail sticks, green stuff, guitar wire and typhus' nurgling. Rust was made using mixed herbs put in rust coloured paint.

Wow i love that chaos dred! and the dark angles dred at the top is Awesome!

What do you guys think of my dreads though? Space Wolves using a Fenris Grey and the blue wash?

i like them, just one minor critique:

on the first pic the midlle one... the one side is rather flat and for my taste could get some more detail shown...some use of bits... i know its probably sealed by now but, well...

otherwise great art man,

cheers mate, vik

OK, time for some Orky silliness. Back in the day when LoS was not an issue I cobbled together some bits to make a Killa-Kan...except the poor git didn't have the teef to make a proppa job ov it.
While the base (40mm) is no longer suitable for a Kan and people would have serious "modelling for advantage" issues, I could probably use this as a Nob with Ard Armor or even a MegaNob.

I was thinking of adding a few things to them. Maybe I will look around in my wolf bits. Maybe add more fur to the ones that didn't get any.

sounds good^^

Another From Me. Nurgled DA Dread.






Although its nothing compared to the other DA and Nurgle Dread on this page :(

Ah gitsplitta

We love your chapter. That's a truly superb dreadnought, as is the rest of your army

Thanks Samus, I'm such a slow painter that when I finally finish a figure I feel the need to post it on at least two blogs in order to get my time's worth out of it! Luckily the dakka gods (Legoburner, Fraz, the mods) are merciful...

I do love this particular thread though... probably my favorite show off thread. People put so much passion into their dreadnoughts... fun to see.

@ Gitsplitta
I really like how you did the autocannons.
Nice add to the thread.

Thanks G3, I appreciate that!

I think I should post everysingle dreadnought I have ever made on here.

Another to throw into the mix!

first coat down
