Space Wolves Dreadnought Finished





Well its been a while since i last posted. I had a dose of nurgle's rot. This is the finished pictures of my converted black reach dreadnought. Im really pleased with the outcome. The only job left to do is to name the dreadnought. Any suggestions for this would be welcome (only 5 letters or less)? Wolf priest is next?

Space Wolves Dreadnought WIP












Hi all, as you can see I've been working on converting the black reach dreadnought.

A brief summary of what i did to get this far:

1. Ordered resin base from 616 Designs, added space marine helmet with a drilled out hole for effect.
2. Drilled out gun barrels and drilled some bullet holes in the dreadnought's armour.
3. Added skull to right leg of the dreadnought from space wolf accs sprue.
4. Added wolf tail talisman underneath the main body.
5. Cut wolf pelt from space wolf back and added to multi melta arm. Filled in edges and top with green stuff sculpted to look like fur.
6. Added space wolf icon on to the top of the dreadnought (taken from the SW terminator set.
7. Green stuffed over the canopy to cover angel wings, sculpted it to look like fur. Then i added the skull head which is the skull from the chaos marauders banner bearer. I then green stuffed the edges and sculpted it to look like fur.
8. Finally i drilled and pinned the left foot to the rock surface for additional strength.

I think its turned out well and I'm tempted to do another! I will post some paint updates as i go.

Thats all folks

Luko Dakka's WIP Sneak Preview

Well, I've finally got all my new additions to my growing Nurgle Army! As a first post I thought I'd show what I will be working on in the next week or so.
So, as you can see from the pic:


-
1 Nurgle Terminator Lord
5 Deathguard Termies (FW parts)
10 Plague Marines (FW parts)
I'll be doing a Start to Finish/Sprue to Basing, complete guide with work in progress photos.
From inspecing the Sprues so far it looks like a hell of a lot of cleaning up on the resin side of things. The plastic sprues I must say are very generous with plenty of extras which are great for, adding to other models and mix and matching the different boxed sets. I think a quick eye over the codex to confirm weapon choices and then it'll be on to the build!
More soon...

Space Wolves Drednought


Hi all,

Well as always i end up back at 40k shortly after doing warhammer, its just to be honest when ive got games coming up.... im good at working to deadlines. So with games lined up for my space wolves i thought i would have a go at changing the assault on black reach dreadnought into a space wolf dreadnought using some spares from my bits box and a little green stuff. Pictured to the left is some of the components im going to use. I have also ordered a slate scenic base for him to stand on and will post progress pictures as i work through the project.
