Thought I would throw my contribution in;

Some lovely dread's here though

great work everyone. Mine still need's basing, but I've not decided how this army's bases are going just yet.

**Darkvoidof40k**

I like that purple dread there, very eye-catching indeed.

I especially like the yellow, very crisp job. That and the bone-colours on the adornments.

Would be nice if you added actual snow effects to the base though, that would really complete it.

Here is my scratch build Orky Dread... I know... He needs more arms.
He is mostly cardboard and started life as a roll of toilet paper...

Sorry for the dim lighting in the pics...

Here is a slightly better one...

Hey!

Haven't seen you around the forums for a while...

**Viktor von Domm**

thus it went out of my view it seems ... will have a look!!!

Hey all.

First post on this Forum. I was looking at the painting and seeing it as I just finished a Dreadnought of my own, it seemed fitting that I would share it!

Enjoy!

**chuckachu**

Love it Brother Kendo very sharp model.

**AzureDeath**

Here are my faithful Deathwing dreads.

**Viktor von Domm**

nice bone color Brother_Kendo ! and welcome to dakka!!!

**philmorgan75**

I was undecided on weapons, so I decided to magnetise instead:

My plan is to have all/convert all the different dreadnought weapons for both left and right (mortis style). I've got some other dreadnoughts and weapons to paint, but I suffer from "must have" but never get around to painting, so they'll go with all the other projects I need to complete!

Regards, Phil.

Looks awesome, but I dislike the red green blue tentacles

I was going for chaotic energy spewing out of it but...yeah it ended up looking like party streamers. Probably going to redo the tentacles and try to lessen the 'birthday clown' effect.

Its the colors you chose for them. They're to fresh and clean, they pop too much. Try darkening them a bit and varying the tones of each color on each tentacle.

I like the effect the LED inside gives off, the red is reminiscent of the character Carron's armor glow around the collar.

**dark bunny**

My not very good unpainted dreadnought just thought I might post it

**Terrinecold**

another paper dreadnought, this one fully painted.
The arms can be exchanged with the previous one and the claws can also be swapped with a chainfist ( they are magnetized)

**batfink**

paper dreadnoughts, very clever!.
I'm loving this thread so many cool ideas.

**Lucarikx**

Here is my contemptor:

**Enzephalon**

I'll jump in.
Here's to you... my death company dreadnought...

My Furioso librarian....

And my regular Furioso dreadnought with frag cannon...

**CIsaac**

Here's my venerable dread doing some bug stomping.
I wish I could say I painted it, but I didn't. I still love it, and I'm trying to emulate the style for rest of my army.

**batfink**

love the base, is that an SAS dread??

**Gundor**

Here is one of the dreads I've done in the past.
