Ironclad dreadnought (scratch built when the codex first came out so it doesn't look as...beastly as the actual model)










And Kor'Sarro Khan (with a head-swap):

( Purple and gray are so rare . but you did it perfectly.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/252976/916254.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/252976/916254.page GMT Re:Knights of Orion

So these pieces of plastic...err...soldiers of man have been sitting in my army case for about 9 months now. This is their second repaint, so they're not the best thing I've ever painted. In fact, they're pretty terrible. The only thing that brightens them up a bit from looking like utter crap are the purity seals and eyes, honestly. Well, here they are..

I painted my Land Raider here in the better part of yesterday, just finished some small details today. Tried a new technique that acts sort of like holographic art- they're two swords over the text on the top of the LR and over the searchlight housings. What do you guys think of it?

What Chaos symbols?" ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/252976/950223.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/252976/950223.page GMT Knights of Orion http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/252976/950587.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/252976/950587.page GMT Re:Knights of Orion
Well yesterday during classes (what a great time to day dream, right?) I was doodling some ideas that were going through my head when I got this epic vision of a dual-autocannon dreadnought rolling over some Chaos Marine with treads. When I got home I had about 2 hours of downtime and didn't have much to do, so I tried building this thing with posterboard, foamboard and whatever bits I could find. In the end I have to say I'm pretty happy with the results. It would've obviously been better with an actual dreadnought torso, but in the end I think it looks pretty cool and I am going to start painting it tonight too. What do you guys think?

Why not instead cut the lower leg to pieces, use a tad green stuff and have the whole lower leg that is pinned under the tread of the Ironclad look like somebody smeared mash potatoes around the tread?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/252976/1051277.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/252976/1051277.page GMT Knights of Orion

There seem to be quite a few gaps needing filled, but otherwise a great concept well executed.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/252976/1051287.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/252976/1051287.page GMT Knights of Orion http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/252976/1051642.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/252976/1051642.page GMT Knights of Orion

Maybe it's because I was working on at it like 2am and I wasn't thinking properly but I decided the crushed Marine would be an Iron Warrior and since they are "Iron Within, Iron Without" it would be appropriate to make them look ridiculously strong even underneath the crushing weight of a dreadnought. It was a very funny concept at the time, I swear

@Flinty- yeah, thank god I took pictures before priming him because otherwise there would've been some gaps I would've totally missed until it was half-way painted!

Thanks for all the kind words guys, I appreciate them!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/252976/1052125.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/252976/1052125.page GMT Re:Knights of Orion

Also, as a note, I'm planning on redoing the bases, but I haven't come up with any good ideas so they're staying as is for now.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/252976/1088630.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/252976/1088630.page GMT
