Venerable Ancients, Tell Us Your Wisdom

Shoot the stabby things and stab the shooty things, mostly.

I knuckled down today and got the two Venerable Dreadnoughts done for my Angels of Redemption Deathwing army, which is now essentially complete except for the two Dreadnought Drop Pods I need to pick up from my friend R, who 3D-printed them for me. 

I ended up going for a more mural approach on the Dreadnought to the left rather than the "stained glass" that I did on my similarly constructed Deathwatch Dreadnought

Both these lascannons come from the same kit, but the ability to build them even slightly differently really makes a difference to how they look on the table

Soot-stained exhaust stacks and Mechanicus seals - yes, it's 40K

You can really see the size difference between the 3rd Edition plastic missile launcher on the left and the 2nd Edition metal one on the right, as well as the design cues that were kept and which were added or changed

Taken together these really add a lot of ranged anti-armour punch to an otherwise quite sparsely armed list - these and two Cyclones are the sum total of long-range anti-tank in the army, but woe betide anything that gets up close to so many power fists.

Next up on the painting table are some smelly Skaven - Poison Wind Globadiers, to be exact. Unless I change my mind tomorrow, in which case who knows...
