Couldn't afford the forgeworld dread and had this in my box for a while. Whole conversion took about 8 hours. Including paint. Not sure about the base though, might re-do it

Excellent. I have to say, I'm more a fan of the Chaos Dreadnought style than the Helbrute 'mutated guy in machine style. I love the fluff of Chaos Marines trapped in Sarcophagi going insane!

Very nice, simple yet very effective.

Nice and simple, definetely got to agree with the other guy about the helbrute, the thing's basically a headshot magnet.

**irtaco**

I like the look of it

**TheLionOfTheForest**

The face plate looks like the book in Army of Darkness. Awesome!

Silly yet 100x better than the Helbrute model.

Good effort! Its always good to use stuff you have sitting about

**chadbacca**

awesome!

i noticed you mention that you are on the edge about the base. just my opinion, but two things i tend to notice with chaos space marines are 1) grass does not look good on the base. even scorched grass is meh. dry barren land works a lot better. 2) paint the rim of the base black instead of green (or any color for that matter).

anyway, keep up the good work!

**tomcat31**

Thanks everyone. Decided the base wasn't up to it after all. So I re painted it

**chadbacca**

Yes!!! I would even go as far as taking deneb stone (or whatwver the new GW formula equivalent is now) and doing a heavy layer over the black. dont get it all perfectly though. leave the recesses black. do a black ink wash over that, and once it dries drybrush it with the stone again. awesome!

It doesnt even need to be deneb stone. just an earthy looking color that will contrast with all of that black.
