So, my local GW shop held a simple fun painting competition recently. I decided to step out of my comfort zone (away from Tyranids) and try something different, so I chose a Blood Angels Furioso / Death Company Dreadnought. Considering that I'm building a custom space marine chapter whose lore crosses with my 'nid army, I felt it a good tangent project (I had to pause on my Dominatrix project to finish the dreadnought).
Here are the pics:
Front view. The waist and banner are magnetized, mostly for travel purposes. The impaled Broodlord is removable, too. The arms, of course, are posable. I used both the Ultramarines Venerable and the Venerable Chaplain dreadnoughts from Forgeworld as inspiration.
The rear view. I kinda like how the grey pairs with the darker red.
Up close of the Broodlord. I didn't spend nearly enough time on him. But I figured I could afford to go quickly since he's purely part of the scenery. I won't be gaming with that Broodlord (but I will game with the Dread).
Up close of the banner. I decided to try out the razor wire scenery to "tie" the warrior head to the banner frame. I kinda like the result.
As of this posting, the competition models are on display at the store and being voted on by people who stop in. There's some good competition from the other pieces, but I'm actually proud of how mine turned out.
Perhaps next competition I'll go back to my beloved Tyranids!
