Originally he was a darker purple but with two GW Citadel Paint ranges since he was started he has now got a lighter hue.
These Dreads are quite hard to get hold of theses days. I was lucky in that I picked up a couple before they were discontinued. "Sonic" has a Blastmaster arm and the FW Chaos Dread CC weapon arm.
The Chaos FAQ gives rules for these vehicles whereby they count as having a twin linked Blastmaster. That gives them plenty of dakka on a mobile firing platform.
I've never been a big fan of Dreads - I had an experience when I lost a tournament game when a Nurgle dread chased off after a gretchin on the last turn of the game rather than sit on an objective - and as a result they were always the last item I painted.
The base is home made - a mix of bark, Vallejo texture and some barbed wire - and finished with some Army Builder tufts.
Nice to have it finished.
Gotta go fast!
ReplyDeleteI love the Noise Marine Dreads. Need to get around to converting up a couple of them myself.
Looks very nice Pete. You have your trademark purple and green going on. Does he ignore the penalty for moving and firing heavy weapons? You could promote one of your terminators to be the pilot. I think MR tentacle needs a new body.
