I really need to get a better camera if I am going to keep posting pictures....still here is my dread!

Glad to see this thread is still being bumped. I can't believe how long ago I made this thread!

wow some great dreads in the thread;

Here's some salamander ones (11 in total, but 3 are just bodies with no guns yet, going to make them rifleman eventually)

Hey guys .



Felt like contributing too, with this. This is one of my Thousand Sons Contemptor (Ver 2.0, with added details). Here he is, sporting Ashmantle's Power Fist/flamers (noticed that I painted the desytroyed arm as a Salamander dread ) Still in need of a matt varnish in places, and the odd detail



And here he is with a magnetised twin Heavy Flamer:

ah ok. thanks for the explanation. i really wasn't able to comprehend that on my own.

Here are 3 of my W.I.P. Dreads for my D.I.Y. chapter Emperor's Wrath

May as well share a Nurgle dreadnought I bashed out a while back... I saw the Skaven screaming bell kit being released as a plastic kit and thought to myself that the Plague furnace was just begging to be used as a dreadnought weapon / wrecking ball... Here is the result starting from an AOBR dread and having some fun with an urban rubble themed base like it just knocked through a wall. Poor guardsman never knew what hit him.

Very cool kit bash!

Here's mine, converted from an AOBR dred and bits from a defiler

There are some really nice looking dreads in here. Not sure if mine stand up to the quality, but I thought I'd share a couple of mine. Hope you enjoy!
My Furioso Librarian

One of my Death Company Furiosos

Here is one of my Ork Dreads with a group of Kans as well.


Close up of the face on Dread.


And a Mega Dread as well.

I would like to offer this picture of my first Dreadnought finished earlier this year.

Neato. More awesomeness. I really like the conversions going on here. In addition to the Goliath class walker I posted a couple of pages back, I managed to finish off my Viking class Dread (in walker mode, obviously)

You are my kind of poster. I love the hell out of that conversion!

Here's my five Crimson Fists dreadnoughts:




And some better shots of the Ironclad:






Come to think of it, I don't think I've actually ever used the Ironclad in a game before...

Old metal dreadnoughts are the best. Nice models! I think they still look pretty good on the table, even compared to all these new fancy plastic dreadnoughts, haha

"Heavy is good, heavy is reliable. If it does not work, you can always hit him with it." [/Borisvoice]

just finished my first paper dreadnought.
It has been made so it can be carried by my paper storm raven (the carrying mechanism still needs modeling work so there won't be clear pics of it).
The arms can be removed and can rotate. The torso can rotate and the power fist can move up down inside the shoulder (in addition to the shoulder rotating).
It is fixed to its base with magnets so the base can be removed for when it is carried underneath the SR (looks silly otherwise)

Here is my go at it.

Wow... that thing is GREEN! Looks good. Is it for a Chaos or Ork army

I like idea of using that thing as a boss lol.

I'm using him as a hellbrute. The chaos army he is part of will be allied with my main ork army, so it helps bring the two armies together.

I guess I could throw my Ad-Mech counts-as dread up here:
