Hello, people!

Here it is my last creation, made during the last nights after long days of study (university exams are approaching, damn! ):













I've used the ironclad dreadnought kit and some pieces left from a dark-eldar rider kit and a chaos rhino kit (next-time I will probably show those models). I've also stolen the demolition ball from a crazy goblin model, but the most important thing is... the flesh!
It was my first time using the green stuff for this kind of things, but I'm satisfied of the result. What do you think about? Suggestions are always welcome!

PS: sorry for the bad quality of the pictures, but I've used my dad's camera. I'm visiting my parent's home, these days.

It looks good what are you gonna play it as and the wrecking ball and hooks look awesome

very nicely done

Nice painting! But I think you should add more spikes/chaos symbols or even plague on it, because now, except for the ball, it looks a little bit... inquisitish

Thanks for the compliments, guys!

@ steeds of war: Being honest, I've got no idea about how to play it... I've simply followed the creativity of the moment. Buh? The demolition ball counts as a melee weapon, I suppose?

@ TseGuevara: You know? You're right. I'm thinking about put some decal or chaos symbols on the model's left shoulder, who appears particularly "naked".

Spike and skulls. Always spikes and skulls. I love the wrecking ball though. I've been trying to think up something for a defiler CC weapon and I think this is it. Very inspirational. I hope you magnetized that though.

Is that an Acer aspire laptop?

It's pretty cool but not "Chaos" enough. You should have the wings, Crux Terminatus, and so on on a vehicle that's meant to be dedicated to the dark gods. Also, basing your models make them like 10 times better for minimal effort - do it!

@ Rusted: No, it isn't magnetized. I've built and painted this model just for fun, not for play. Next time I will try, it's a promise!

@ Kravox: Yup! Acer Aspire 5745G.

@ Brother SRM: "Not chaos enough"?
Don't know... personally I don't like the things too much "chaotized" (does it exist, as a word?), but maybe something else, following TseGuevara's advice, should be necessary to give better personality at the model.
And don't worry about the base, when I will return home (now I haven't got the material), I will do!

I think that looks really, really nice. The wrecking ball is good and the 'subtle' Chaos-ness is good. I like the use of various parts and the almost rusty look it has in the rear-photo.

I too would recommend removing the Crux Terminatus and maybe adding something else to it. I like the subtleness in it's Chaotic nature, but I think it could do with something else being added to it to really make it stand out. The spikes on the right arm are really cool; maybe repeat them elsewhere?

Good stuff man! Look great!

PS.
Awesome avatar!

Great concept, though could do with better execution mate.

Anything is better than the CC arm the current chaos dread has. The only thing I could think to do is make it a bit more chaos-y. Other than that excellent job!

very nice!

looks good

Nice idea, looking good.
I cant often find the situation to say i like big balls.
