THOSE were AoBR Dreadnoughts?

A classic dread that is on the way to being finished...

Maximillian from the Black Hole movie perhaps?

now has anyone ever done that? that would be so cool!

First Dread I ever painted. Still my favourite.

@ Conandoodle - that Dread is great, but it will be awesome if you drill the barrels of the assault cannon!

Darkvoidof40k: Cheers sir.

Yes, drilling is on my list of things to do. Have painted a lot more since (and changed my painting technique) so this guy doesn't see much action anymore .. but I like him .. probably for silly sentimental and nostalgic reasons.

Well if that's the first Dread you've ever seen, then I would love to see the rest of your army!

Love this, I'd almost forgotten they used to be that shape, the quintessential snippy dread.

Classic dreads are awesome.

I'll link this one as
A) its NOT mine, Thats NOT
B) Tech, Not a dread,

But I think people will appreciate it

BTW its an Ironclad with all the options..I have an base still working(it is an light switch plate with an green stuffed Salamander icon raised up on it)

No offence but it looks like you got a toy dragon and stuck Ironclad bit's on it.

key word: looks like. look at the legs and tail

Always Angry! All The Time! Those old Space Crusade Dreads, with their angry little faces, are perfect for Angry Marines...especially with all the hardpoints for the slews of weapons the original figurines came with - tons of "F You" firepower.

Here is mine, I converted it from an Iron Clad Dreadnought. The paint Job is a bit shabby but it does ok.

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)



And with my Hydra for scaling purposes.

God I love me dem Dreadnoughts.

Since this thread has arisen from its grave, here are my 2 Salamanders dreads:

Wow, some really nice Dreadnoughts in this thread. Inspiring stuff.

Here's my old Iron Warriors Dreadnought. Ever since I saw these things in the 3rd edition rulebook I always wanted one, and now I have one! I don't understand how people think they are ugly, they are more detailed and imposing than the regular Space Marine Dreadnought.

I also have a nasty looking Hellbrute and Space Crusade Chaos Dreadnought in progress too, nice to have some variety. Also have my eyes on a Decimator too, such a nice model.

Since this thread has arisen from its grave

Nice stuff, cool to see so many variations on the dreadnoughts. Here's a Blood Angels Contemptor I did earlier this year.

I've been waiting for this thread to rise again...

This is the first of three killa kanz, the others will be done, someday... maybe.

This is my catachan sentinel. I have another one, but technically, it is a monowheel, and not a walker . The wheel one wasn't originally my idea, btw. I can post it if you want, or, if you want to see more pictures of these, look in my gallery (do it by clicking the pictures, so that you don't have to dig for them).

Coolness! there's some awesome and inspired dreadnoughts in this thread! gives me a chance to pop a couple of my own in one place! hope you like 'em!

Death Company dreadnought, Brother Byron:




My Flesh Eaters relic Contemptor!:



And lastly my old Salamanders dread with a little customization on the weapon arms:

Hell, I'll pitch mine in... (old pic with an older camera, sorry...)

Arch-Bibliosoph Aiakos, of the Marines Malevolent IV Centuria

Here is my Bjorn model


Here are my dreadnought Conga line


Here is my GK Dreadnought. Everyone said I was stupid for not making him a Psyfleman dread. Gee... the new flamer rules are pretty awesome!

Nothing special really - just a small kitbash from AoBR dread.

Here is my tinkering on my backburner AdMech project.

Shooty Dread with Sentinel legs and some Scout snipers with mini sniper rifle pseudo thunderfire cannons.

Here's one I just finished.

That GK dread needs leg armor stat!

Oh yay. I love this thread.
Too bad Ork Dreds are obsolete in 6th. =(
