Naturally it was purchased and set aside for my Brotherhood project! I'm going to use it as a Counts-As Bjorn, complete with Plasma Cannon and a bad attitude.

Brotherhood Update: Bjorn the Fell-Claw
As many of you know, I'm a huge fan of the old stuff - it doesn't hold a candle to the new but it has tons of character. This is the old Chaos Dreadnought, RTB-1 era.

Now THAT is what you call a classic miniature. I was involved in the hobby when those guys were walking around.
ReplyDeleteThe earliest dreads I recall are the ones from space crusade.
It's an awesome paint job too. I love the base. The trickle of blood is fab.
Truly a classic miniature, and a great paintjob!
ReplyDeleteIt will never cease to amaze me how much this dread reminds me of the old Tyranids.
That is one beautiful, quirky miniature. Amazing. and did I mention quirky...
ReplyDeleteI have three of those guys! I use them for Obliterators in my Plague Marine Chaos army.
ReplyDeleteWhats with the red rocket?
ReplyDeleteBJORN THE HELL-HANDED!!!
ReplyDeleteRed rocket, red rocket! That's awsome.
ReplyDeleteDoc what does it mean when I'm pissing blood?
Brent, this is so got to be a caption contest for BALS, or is it to rated R?
Maybe Im jaded and only like new stuff, but that looks like a silly tyranid kit-bash with a bloody penis-stump
ReplyDeleteI used to have a Dachsund that had a weiner like that. The little bastard got put on probation for getting the local bitches pregnant. He could climb hurricane fences...I shit you not. He was a regular hungdini.
ReplyDeleteIt's a wonderfully painted model but please, spay or neuter your dreadnoughts. If you don't hundreds of kittenoughts and puppynoughts will be forced into terrible lives because of the lack of good homes.
ReplyDeleteIt's at least getting on for Chaotic, which is more than can be said for the just-add-spikes of today. Great posing and painting, in colour choice and execution.
ReplyDeleteCyber dog in heat
ReplyDelete...
ReplyDeleteI have no idea what you people are talking about.
Could you be more clear? More descriptive maybe?
Obviously I'm missing something...
The dread's got a penis, Brent. It's practically got sirens on it.
ReplyDeleteUrban Dictionary: Red Rocket -- just in case you really don't know.
This was most likely a Slaaneshi dreadnought in a previous life...I feel mildly violated just looking at it. *shudder*
ReplyDeleteAside from the discomfort, you did a really great paint job and the blood on the base is perfect.
Heh, penis. I love that model ,and have an unassembled one in one of my bitz boxes. Someday, I will find a use!
ReplyDeleteIs that a pee pee?
