Crimson Death space marine army #3 - RT207 Deredeo pattern dreadnought.

Another rogue trader era dreadnought, although this one isn't as heavily armed as the other of this class.

Tree from model railway shop

Battlefleet Gothic: Tau fleet #9 - QT Models NSF10 Deep space freighter/ Citadel C44 Dreadnought

Another "Counts as" model that fills in for battle cruiser sized ships, or simply as a freighter for protection missions etc.

Paintjob is very old, so forgive the daubing.

Battlefleet Gothic: Tau fleet #8 - QT Models NSF6 Shark class cruiser/Citadel C44 Dreadnought

Probably one of the first ships I did for this fleet, and that paintjob is really showing its age. A repaint is probably in order, but it's going to have to do for now as I already have way too much to finish.

Ork Army #1 - Citadel 28mm RT204 Ork Dreadnought with RT206 expansion kit

From the very early days of Rogue Trader, comes this Ork Dreadnought, with the optional expansion to give four weapon points. The banner is made from the foil that seals a champagne bottle, and is painted freehand. Of course this is part of another project, 40k Orks - a very old-skool army indeed and nothing like the giant greenskins of today. He lived in the figure cabinet at Dalling Road, Hammersmith from 87-90.

Crimson Death Space Marine Army #2 - Citadel 28mm RT7 DreadnoughtArmour - Las Cannon and twin bolters

I believe the heavy weapons versions were referred to as 'Furibundus pattern'.
Started when the model came out, but sadly not finished until 27 years later!

This model lived in the cabinet at 1 Dalling road for some time

The paint became scratched, so in came the repaint

I rebased it on a standard dreadnought-sized base

GOLDEN Extra coarse pumice gel and slate chips from a local flowerpot

The lettering was al done with a brush, back when I could see.

Crimson Death Space Marine Army #1 - Citadel 28mm Dreadnought Armour

The Crimson Death are my home brew Space Marine chapter. This is a project started back in 1987, whereupon I had most of an army painted, but something possessed me to sell many of the foot troops. It will be a slow-burner project - I have most of the models, but few are painted as yet.

I picked this up very cheaply from the Sheffield triples bring and buy one year. I'd never stripped paint from plastic before, and it was really heavily caked on with this. I soaked it in dettol for a while, and had at it with an old toothbrush and a scalpel, but it was never going to return to its original state.

I pressed on, but had to paint in a lot of the lost detail. I think he's turned out ok, considering - certainly good enough to use on the table.

Nurgle army #12 - Forgeworld Nurgle Dreadnought

He's suffered a couple of mishaps, but is still functional. His horn and the smoke launcher are hors-de-combat.

I tried to articulate the model as much as possible, so his central joint was drilled and pinned;

This gives a good degree of rotation;
