However, having just finished painting one, I just realized how boring they look. It is literally a box with arms and legs. So, I've been tempted to get the Forgeworld Venerable Dreadnought (seeing as how the GW is a 3 pound chunk of multi-piece pewter - we all know how much that sucks to work with) because it's a model that just screams its presence on the tabletop and really says "I am a hero reborn."
As much as I love how cool looking this model is - I'm not sure if I can justify it's purchase. I currently have three dreadnoughts (1 regular, 2 AoBR) and the actual likeliness of me running the 6 Dreadnought army is slim. I don't even feel great about spending $12 on the Forgeworld Dreadnought arms, even though I really want to use Mortis pattern Dreadnoughts.
Everyone has a favorite model. What do you go crazy about when it comes to this hobby?
Me? I'd just like to see stuff fully painted for a change.
ReplyDeleteWell, all of my Tau battlesuits are extensively converted, plus I love the Stealthsuits (I have twelve right now), but other than that, not much. Of course, those cost less than any type of Dreadnought...
ReplyDeleteI bought my first Forgeworld piece recently, the Ultramarines Venerable Dreadnought. I was in the same boat, and after money spent it was totally worth it. Now fully painted, I have a stunning, moderately unique army centerpiece.
ReplyDeleteGotta love those ForgeWorld pieces - they really are great. I bought their plague ogryns a while back and attached a pair of wings to one of them to create a novel looking daemon prince. It still gets much attention on the table top even today.
