Warhammer 40K Grey Kinghts Venerable Dreadnought

[RedSteelOlton]

That wall needs re-pointing!

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

@RedSteelOlton more like re building ;)

[DavidsNia]

dude come help my dad hes got 5 space marine kits and 1 set of paint

[hobbybutterfly]

Might try this myself

[Jinzollica]

nice work man!!! the only thing is that i'd have painted the board of the base black, because i found by experience that the grey board make the model seeming too light, but well done anyway!

[Rassoul44]

is the primary colour boltgun metal?

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

@Rassoul44 Think so.

[Gamefreak2x9]

sweet! I bought a black reach dreadnought at a low price and converted it in a very similar way. Although urs is way cooler looking

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

@Gamefreak2x9 Cheers.

[Gamefreak2x9]

@MarneusAugustaCalgar You inspired me to covert my black reach model into a Venerable. I don't currently have a camera. But I was wondering of there might be another way I could send you a picture. After all without you I wouldn't have it. And I get compliments ALL the time!

[SilverMaiden]

Wow really an awesome job man! I totally love it! BUT what I miss is that you should've made it mre "dirty" like if it has come strait from battle and has nt been washed off. It looks to clean. But I like it when they look dirty, maybe yours are strait from the factory (or a ninja). Still I loooove it and I want a tutorial =) 5 stars

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

@assym2006 Thanks Darren.

[Maciejka0111]

Grey Knights kick ass and incinerate stuff. And BASTA!!! :D

[stawowczyk]

wow that is amazing i would love to see something you worked on for years that would be slayer sword worthy really excellent!

[zakuto1337]

The coolest Dreadnought ive never seen, Well done pal! its sick :D

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

@GREATJOJOMAN Cheers.

[joentheamouni3]

I'm about to paint a few of my new grey knights, any tips that are useful for them?

And great idea for the dread... I was going to just order an Iron clad for conversion, but I think I might go venerable too.)

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

@joentheamouni3 Washes work really well on silver armour.

[RhinoPiledriver]

hey dude plz comment back to this. i painted my grey knights just yesterday and they look really good, but im not happy with them. i dont know why. i happens when i paint any figure. it annoys the shit out of me. how would i stop it? add more colour? paint more of the model?

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

@RhinoPiledriver Well thats really hard to say mate without seeing them.

[lozzer2345]

well painted

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

@lozzer2345 Thanks.

[loganzaraki]

I really like this model, just started converting figures so could be a while before i try something like this, excellent model tho mate

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

@loganzaraki Thanks.

[xane3]

Inquistion :)

[MrHeadshot12345]

thats pretty awsome i just got assault on black reach so i might try doin that thx

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

@MrHeadshot12345 Cool.

[quilavamaster]

Thats nice :)

trouble for me is I play only space marines and a few tyranids (I'm now starting grey knights) and I don't have access to the differnt bits I need =::::(

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

@quilavamaster Thanks :)

[Generalsplatton]

That is a great conversion! It is wonderful.

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

@Generalsplatton Cheers :)

[joiy7]

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

@mandalorien99 Thanks :)

[madmono1994]

nice not very often you see a grey knights dread, still everything dies at the hands of my precious bassies ;)

[Nightbarb]

Awesome paintjob dude! :D

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

@Nightbarb Cheers :)

[DeathOnToast5]

have i seen this bad boy on the coolminiornot website ? i really like it : ]

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

No mate. Thanks.

[trurealest]

Nice, but I reckon the actual venerable dreadnought piece looks a lot meaner than the standard dreadnoughts. My own thoughts though. Still, nice.

[maggotspeacy]

genius

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

Many thanks.

[Guardsmen248]

deamon hunters arent a space marine chapter. the chapter is the Grey Knights they are however under the jurisdiction of the ordos mallaus- the threat without. and basically there a division of the inquisition tasked with the banishing of deamons.

[ATGOD]

@Guardsmen248 .......ur retarded right? it is a secret space marine chapter made by the Emperor. he called it 666 chapter

[Jpipooly]

THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST!!

[TenaciousD872]

@ATGOD dude, he is actually right with that comment. they were a separate chapter made to kill all the daemons, such as the sisters were hersy. or were they for xenos? beats me

[Vroon2341]

Sisters were called the WITCHhunters (Ordo Hereticus). The hunters of Xenos would be the Ordo Xenos and the Deathwatch. The hunters of daemons would be the Ordo Malleus and it's Chamber Militant, the Grey Knights.

[trurealest]

@ATGOD

Yeah mate, don't know where you got you're info from but it's wrong. The Emperor created the Ordo Malleus as part of the Inquisition, not as a space marine chapter, just before he took seat upon the Golden Throne. They were to be his right arm in the tasks that he could no longer physically do himself.

[Papirklipp]

no, they were founded to find the Emperors sons, and take the to the Emperor, so he could fully recover from his "retirement" :P

[ATGOD]

@Guardsmen248 => daemon hunters arent but the grey knights are

[TheBlackChalice]

Cool i really like the exausts.

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

Thanks.

[percypiggle6]

is it metal?

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

No.

[KittyRokher]

why arent the demonhunters a chapter of the space marines? or are they? What are demonhunters, a space marine chapter that has its little supplement codex or another army altogether?

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

Check the codex, all will be explained.

[dgrulzforev]

demonhunters them selves are another army alotogether. but the demonhunters are a special chapter that work for the inquisition. not 100% sure but thats what i belive.

[spacemarin1]

tell me the name of that vid cant wait to see how go thay r

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

Check my channel mate.

[ForTheEmperorsOwn]

no prob. i actually find that your job with the filing down the skull motif on the right side was quite inventive and the fact that you pulled it off so well really speaks to your skills, how long you been doing this for?

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

Thanks buddy, ive been messing around with painting mini's seriously now for about 3 years. I mainly paint to a table top standard but im currently painting a Planet Strike force of Blood Angels. It will consist of dreadnoughts and terminators. I trying to paint these to a higher level, ill post a vid when i have something. Dont forget to subscribe :)

[ForTheEmperorsOwn]

overall a high quality piece, i applaud you. and yes he is right folks, those are the correct codex grey knights colors. oh and for those of you who like to bash this incredible job, i would kindly suggest you show instead of tell.

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

LOL, thanks buddy. I sooooo agree with you, negative comment leavers never have anything to see of their own.

[Dawn59er]

Are sisters of battle apart of the daemon hunters?

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

No.

[ChZ001]

As if anyone can paint it better lol. Nice painting.

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

lol, thanks mate.

[XtremeTony504]

i could make it look batter

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

Good for you, shame you cant spell.

[fkkmck]

lol XD liked the back a lot! just a suggestion no offence intended: the red&white with blk sword emblem doesnt look too gr8 try dry burshing another color or something

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

The red, white and black are the correct codex Grey Knight colours. Check the codex.

[Dawn59er]

Very well done.

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

Cheers.

[AIzero1]

nicely painted book

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

Cheers :)

[Redvexer]

i bought the GK dreads from Forge World, love those :P

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

Me to :)

[starhawks1]

i only wish i could convert as well as you, seriously im good at painting but i just lack the creativity and patience to convert like that,...that dread is awesome

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

Thanks mate :)

[dinocha0s]

i love dreadnoughts and i love grey knights but both of them combine is just the ultimate miniature for me =D

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

Thanks mate :)

[DroidsRule]

Very nice. I love your conversions. I, too, took a Black Reach Dreadnought and made it into a Grey Knight Dreadnought, and did some simialr things as you with the open books and script and such. I really like the Cities of Death bits on his exhaust pipes; I might have to steal that idea!

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

Cool, cheers :)

[90911khaki]

what colours did u use for the armour like the silver?

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

Mithril silver.

[90911khaki]

oh so just mith u dont have to do all this extra crap? like bolt gun then chain male  then mith?

because i wonna get some grey nights =]

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

Depends on how good you want them to look.

[90911khaki]

well im thinking of doing red armoured grey knights =] wud u recommend a nice red?

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

A little.

[90911khaki]

so did u use just mith silver on ur grey knight troops?

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

Yes, as a highlight.

[bluemoonminis]

man thats pretty good

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

Cheers.

[lotrlord666]

cheers!!!

[lotrlord666]

hey!

mac got any tips for painting ultramarines?

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

Well i use regal blue base coat, then drybrush ultramarines blue. Then i carefully pick out the details leaving nothing out. Just take your time and dont rush.

[plague903]

when u say picking out the details do u mean the exra bits on the model? plus ur ultramarines dont look drybrushed,

do u drybrush them so it looks like u painted on the ultramarines?

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

I mean paint all the little details on the model. Some of my Ultramarine are only lightly dry brushed.

[AmonDevilman]

For priming do you use chaos black o Skull White?

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

Chaos black.

[hanson666999]

Awesome, a proud addition to any Grey Knights army. Thats an excellent paintjob aswel, well done for making the effort:-)

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

Cheers, he came out well :)

[lotrlord666]

nice

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

Thanks.

[DemoSquadInc]

Id love to have your bitz box! itd be like the lost ark, full of power! (and bitz lol)

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

Its getting low now :(

[calgar1978]

Well done. I like the conversions on this model. Super cool. For the Emperor!!!!

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

cheers :)

[furglesmurgle]

Hey I started painting really in December and I was wondering, would you recommend learning to use ink washes?

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

Well, if you still have some. GW only do washes now but they are good. Learn what you can it all helps.

[brainspider]

Pretty tidy mate, hope your GK's go well. I love my own army and currently working on the 3rd and 4th Dreads (then bulk it up some for that Apocalypse Redeemer Force). Which CoD kit were the chimneys from? I could do with a few of them myself, lol.

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

Cheers, i think it was the manufactorium.

[brainspider]

Cool, thanks :)

[starwrsfreak]

an exellent paint job for an exellent conversion

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

Thanks buddy :)

[felixisis]

really nice paint job and model =D

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

Thanks mate :)

[PsychoboyUK]

very nice man.

I have just gotten myself the black reach pack and need some tips on painting my dready and stuff :) can you help

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

what would you like to know mate?

[PsychoboyUK]

Just how to paint it after you build it as i have STUPIDLY built it before painting it and cant get in to all the knooks and crannies :(

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

I always build before i paint, just take your time and pick out all the details. Paint the undetailed areas first.

[eveplayer12]

very very very very cool

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

Thanks mate :)

[Nanovirus5995]

This is AMAZING for AOBL set. Amazing work friend ;). I'm thinking of converting the whole black reach set into Grey knights. PSYCANNON FTW lol. Love your videos. Keep going.

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

Thanks mate, i look forward to you vids :)

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

Cheers :)

[Nanovirus5995]

Hey again, I really do admire the conversion done here. I have my AOBR dred in my hand :). I have got the Daemonhunters codex and they have a fantastic background. I will probably not convert the entire set into daemonhunters, however I will go ahead with the Grey Knights Dreadnaught. I will do the book idea. Love it. Give yours a name. something like "Kardias" or "Puradicus". Thanks man ;).

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

Cool, i look forward to the vid :)

[makasorro33]

love it

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

Thanks mate.

[ruttman15]

lol such an awesome conversion, but planes keepflying right over you XD

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

Thats why we have AA.

[ruttman15]

alcoholics anonymous?

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

Anti Aircraft.

[swordb0y]

lol die planes die

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

OH YEAH!!!

[Fraynus]

wow very nice conversion do you play alot of armys or just daemonhunter?

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

I play Necrons and Ultramarines now :)

[ChaplainSesostris]

what does the black reach dread come with as far as weapon options?

is it plastic?

another great job. have u entered any golden deamons?

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

It comes with a dreadnought CCW and a multimelta. No, no Golden demon :)

[santivilaaj]

esta bien heho

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

Thanks, i think :)

[saadeath2]

id always thought it would be cool to see a grey knight dreadnought wielding a giant claymore.

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

That would be soo cool!

[saadeath2]

you should try it :P

[sometubedude]

haaaa good answer!

[1hedge22]

Looking cool brother, very nice conversion.

Btw theirs no such thing as a venerable grey knight dreadnought.

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

There is now :)
