My apologies if this'd been posted elsewhere, but a quick search didn't turn anything up...
For folks who think the Dreadknight just doesn't look quite "right", or if you want a unique Menoth-inspired model, Grytz over at Hitech miniatures came up with the Hell Cruiser Arcturus:
More info at: http://hitechminiatures.com/2/product/info/47
Not 100% sure if I like it, but it's definitely more "gothic" than GW's offering and I'm sure it'll tickle someone's fancy...

Though there are a lot of things that bug me about this model, the sheer concept of it is infinitely greater than the dreadknight. Also, a better paint job could on this model would help.

It looks like an Emperor Battlesuit. The paint job is well-done, but I disagree with the color choices; I think that's why the model seems a bit off...

I think I would cut off the flames and green stuff my own on so that after arangeing the arms in a dramtic pose the flames pointed up instead of some horizontal angle.

Nice model... It's more what I expected the Dreadknight to be...
BUT...
I think what lets it down a little is that it incorporates elements very similar to some of the "unofficia"l models of the Emperor that are out there, and the gold paint job makes it even more-so.
I would love to see it in GK colours, and without the flames and braziers...

Meh. Neither it nor the DreadKnight really do it for me. In neither case is the integration of human and machine as reasonable and as pleasing as Ripley's Powerloader. If I were a grey knights player I'd be looking at a scratch build along those lines. Take a termie, a pile of plasticard and bits, and start building.

Personally, I think it looks as derp-tastic as the Dreadknight. Especially with those shoulder lumps and skull nips.

Could be usable with the braziers removed- otherwise he'd set his hair on fire every time he shrugged.
Actually, the torso and legs with Dreadknight arms could work, and work really well. That or a really kickin' Venerable Dread.
