Blood Angels: Dreadnought

Once again, another re-post here, as I have been sorting through (and culling) my Blood Angels in recent weeks.  My Dreadnought!  Generally as received as a part of the AOBR boxset, but with a few extra bits tacked on for good measure.

I have always regretted not getting myself a Furioso Dreadnought, although I imagine I probably will, in time, when the new Blood Angels codex finally comes out.

It's surprisingly easy to make the Dreadnought your own, with the amount of blank panels that he has, allowing you to stick all manner of things on him.

Once again, this is something that came with the Assault On Black Reach boxset, although since its original paintjob, I added a number of purity seals (the little scrolls you can see), and a banner to its sizeable torso.

I also included a small amount of Blood Angels iconography, which helps to link it in to the rest of my army.

The banner was a very straightforward addition, and featured a bit of crude freehand painting.  Not great, but at least it adds a bit of character and individuality to the piece.  I've found that using browns, rather than blacks, helps text and icons to blend in more.

I always enjoy painting vehicles and such - the speed at which you can paint them is a bit of a reward after the detail painting of infantry models.
