New Venerable Dreadnought done

Its taken me 2 weeks to paint this guy due to other commitments but here he is in all his glory.

Venerable Dreadnough "Will be Named Later" for your perusal. Only 1 little bit of kit bash on this chap. Can anyone tell me what?

The Postman Cometh....

In a fortuitus chain of events I was at home today when a package arrived. In this overly large box was my new Venerable Dreadnought. It was not in my plans to build this today but once I got a look inside I just couldnt resist.

So in an orgy of plastic shavings and glue I put this chap together. One of my main issues was deciding how to make him as there are so many different bits you can fit him out with. In the end I went with what you see below. The only change I made to this guy was using a set of MK4 feet that I had left over from a Forgeworld Dreadnought which suits him very well.

I will put pics of him up once I have painted him up. That will have to wait to the weekend unfortunatly.

January Painting

So looking back at the last month and a half or so of posts all I see is a wall of text. To break it up and give people what they want I present to you all my January efforts at the painting table. These 2 units are actually part of my B&C Librarium Painting Challenge.

To begin we have Tactical Squad 4. The sergeant for this squad was shown earlier (the AOBR Sergeant conversion) and here are the rest of his buddies.

I have tried to make the squad as varied as possible with different helmets and bolter varients. The chap below has an old school bolter that was lurking in my bits box.

This fellow has a MK2 Helmet and belt fed bolter

Guy below has a Drum Fed Bolter

Guy below has some funky targetting gizmo on his helmet. Hopefully it will prevent this gets hot rolls

This fellow has an Iron Hands Bionic arm and attached bolter

This chap has a box fed bolter

I have to say I am really happy how the Multi-Melta guy came out. A different looking MK2 Helm made all the difference.

After that comes Brother Opis, 1st Company Dreadnought. I enjoyed making his base which has some nurgle elements to it. Corroded Icon and squashed nurglified guardsman. You cant see it in these pics but he has a helmet and a corroded lasgun.

The dreadnought itself is an AOBR dread with minor conversion. I cut the faceplate off and attached a different one and a forgewold bit (the plaque thingie) on his torso. Not much else done aside from that.

Later this month expect to see some of the other units I have done for the challenge. Namely Sicarius and a unit of scouts.
