For a start, I may as well post my army's scheme, as well as the previous dreadnought i worked on, main mod on that was the CCW:


Now onto the project.

Seeing the venerable dread's looks and array of customisation options was amazing, and had to get one as soon as they were released, and as i want my army to have a crusadery / angelic feel I have been using a lot of the parts from a dark angel's conversion sprue I ordered for working on my chapter master, along with the baroque cathedral-looking archway panels.

A closeup on the body, the head was made by modifying a terminator head i had spare to make it look like the grey knight / crusader helms, the unfortunate score along it is where my knife slipped when prising the panel back off; I glued it on then suddenly had a change of inspiration, but will hopefully clean up well upon final assembly.

The front panels for the torso, using a knife I carefully carved out the window sections, and these, along with the matching panel for the autocannon arm, I plan on adding a stained glass effect behind them.

The legs, I shaved off part of the crotch plate and removed the banner pole from a banner to turn this into the tabard, and then by filing down a banner top so it had a curved back i sat this into the left shin plate.

The arm is done, but i plan on curling the fingers in of the hand more so it has a better grip, and there is a lot more sculpting to go on that CCW]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/285573/1431120.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/285573/1431120.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/285573/1431165.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/285573/1431165.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/285573/1431744.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/285573/1431744.page GMT this amazing sculpt, with the help of the website's sculpting tutorial.

Now here is a question to pose.. I had the sudden inspiration today to cut out the sections the two chest panels cover, meaning I can put a pair of LEDs behind my stained glass sections and illuminating them.

Should I also get some clear perspex to make the blade out of so I can run a couple of wires down to this and give it a power sword-like glow? (like a tutorial I saw somewhere)

I am not quite sure whether this would look interesting, or whether I should just leave it as is.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/285573/1434401.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/285573/1434401.page GMT Decided against the large sword and went with a standard ccw, but modded, and will use the sword on my librarian




Also making it so this can be a Furioso so made an arm that fits into the venerable's mount.
