Hey, EOB, there are 3Dprinted kits that allow you to "cover" the walker's cockpit so you don't see how the guy inside is operating the machine. I did it in mine and now it counts as a light dreadnought.

[@Psychosurgeonpls]

i was thinking that myself but what i did with my ultrasmurfs was give the primaris a paint job of Val heavy blue which looks like maccragge but deeper and gave my mini marines a classic paint job and scheme to separate them, the old first born vets still rocking the classic and the baby boys with a new design and honestly i personally like it better that way

Great collection! I browsed my boxes and also made similar three years back for my Dark Angels: Deredeo, Contemptor, Chaplain (FW), 4x metal + 2x plastic sarchophagus/boxed from GW. All re-painted and based as an army. Boxed ones converted to all variants (normal, venerable, Mortis,, Ironclad). By far the biggest work was to print, magnetize and paint 52 arms to them, to get all weapon options! Pleasure to game with. GW dropped many of the weapon options from 9th to 10th. Angry and sad about that.

I actually glued my fingers together putting together a metal, chaos dreadnought when I was a kid. I had to go to hospital, it was really bad. They suuuuucked to build. speaking of old minis seeing play, I have a Rogue trader Astropath that's in my current Imperial Guard army. The did is ancient and fugly as they come, but I love it. Guard is actually one army where i love using the older minis. There are some gorgeous old commissars and stuff, and the new ones just aren't nearly as cool. The old metal guardsmen are much cooler then the current plastics, too. When they eventually revamp the guard plastics I'll be re-doing my army, but I'm sure some of my old metals will still see play. They're irreplaceable.

The dreads look great. I have two regular (one is assault on black reach), one Venerable and one Ironclad. I'm probably going to kitbash a Chaplain at some point. Really feel like I missed out on not getting the Forgeworld chaplain.

[@oughtnot]

I just picked up my first mini, a redemptor dreadnought. Waiting on the little magnets i ordered to mount the guns but other than that its done being assembled. The posability of that model actually messed me up. I accidentally put too much glue on the hip joints so the legs are stuck too far back (so that if I assembled it as is the dreadnought would be looking almost straight up into the sky like he saw a pretty bird). I had to cut one of the knee joint limiters off and tilt the body on top of the hips forward as far as it would go. So now its mounted on one foot and it looks like its sprinting or lunging at something which turned out to be a happy accident because it looks pretty cool imo. Probably gonna pose the arms like its throwing a big left hook or grabbing for something. Im excited about it.

[@nathanielsmith6262]

Woah love the new intro animation!

[@yourdad7853]

That's a dope opening.

[@SetaDragon]

I think what makes the leviathan dreadnaught feels off is the body armor looks to be blocking line of site for the head in the body. The others don't really have that problem because the head is not seen or is the furthest point on the model give complete viewing angle.

[@Hivefleetmantis]

Wish there was a closer look at the dead guy inside the dreadnaught ! Amazing work 😁

[@fullmetalanarchist6521]

something that i like about the redemptor dread is that they were able to keep the grimdark while moving away from a less human aesthetic. the thing that makes redemptor deads work perfectly is that the pilots are burnt out in a rate that they're no less important than the fuel cells or the oil in its joints, the idea that advancement came at the cost these great warriors of the imperium are considered batteries with a high failure rate.

[@PreceptorGrant]

I played 40k during 1st and 2nd edition. I own exactly one dreadnaught: a Rogue Trader era Furibundus class dread. Armed with a single lascannon and a powerfist/twin bolter arm. He's not even in my chapter colours, my friend painted him a weird tarnished/burnished gold all over. I touched up a few details, but otherwise left him. Honestly, the paint job isn't even all that good, but somehow I can't bring myself to think about stripping and re-doing him, it feels like sacrilege somehow.

[@Biersteak]

You can easily build a Chaplain Dreadnought out of the Blood Angels Deathcompany/Psyker Dreadnought. I think its the furioso. If you have one you should already have the bits for the convertion. Also: I didn't like the Invictor too - but. My 10th Company is solely made out of scouts. And then I begun to use the vanguard marines exactly as such and diversified them. There is not only a place für the phobos patterns but the Invictor and the strange impulsor suddenly seems to fit better. Its like the heavy terrain scout sentinel for space marines paired with a primaris sized land speeder storm (impulsor).

[@Mr_Waffle.]

I was a bit of a fan of w40k back in highschool last millennium and slowly catching up on the past 20 years of the game, and youtube randomly recommended your channel. I'm really enjoying the content even though I don't collect/can't paint/afford w40k at all, your cheerful style and how you show everything off when explaining it makes your videos really fun to watch. When I was dipping my toes into playing back in the day, the fat heavy old dreadnought was the only option we had, so I'm shocked to see how many there are now and how big they got lol. I agree that the idea that they're a walking sarcophagus makes them extra cool. I like the newer designs too but I feel like it betrays the seriousness of the dreadnought backstory a bit.
