Converted AOBR dreadnought

This is my first foray into posting anything 28mm on here. It's the result of thinking the GW dreads are too squat and have the heads on the MKIV's too much to the front making the whole thing seem top heavy. The TLAC arm also came from not liking the look of the FW arms and the ammo canisters hanging out so far. This guy is supposed to represent a Venerable or Ironclad (once the seismic hammer arm is done) for my custom marine chapter. Looking back I'll probably revisit this guy at some point when I decide to experiment with weathering. I've also got a better idea for how to do up the second one eventually to give him less of a lock kneed look. I've added in the pic at the bottom to show the plasticard work and and a comparison to the original AOBR dread for scale.

Thanks, All the plasticard is just sheets of evergreen stuff in various thicknesses and some of their strip plastic.

Very nice work. I like the colour scheme, and particularly iconography. Where did you get the plasticard sheets?

Thanks! The legs were one of those things I noticed after he was all done and was one of those "ah, crap" moments. I'll get the knees bent on the next one though.
