Ultramarines Balistus Dreadnought (Part 5)

 And now the conclusion: 

Done, totally done!

One of the things I had to do was the company  badge. I did this by using a yellow circle decal which I glossed over and painted red. I decided to leave a little sliiver of yellow exposed to give the illusion of a highlight. Next I glossed over that and applied the roman numeral three icon. And presto, it was finished.

The yellow circle.

The backside has the Adeptus Mechanicus icon which I like to make red. This turned out well on the Redemptor Dreadnought I did and I felt justified in repeating it here. 

 Backside with Admech sponsorship.

The campain badge on the right leg was also a repeat of the Redemptor Dreadnought, but I mo e it back a little bit so that it wouldn't cover the separation in the armor. That kind of annoyed me with the Redemptor Dreadnought and I didn't want to repeat that here.

Campaign badge.

Once done some foliage was added to the base. I tried to keep the choice of tufts consistent with the Redemptor Dreadnought since they are truly  battle brothers.

This next view shows the skull I put on the pelvic plate. I like the idea of a fallen foe looking up to see this icon as this mechanical death machine looms over them.

Groin of death.

And here they are, a pair of Dreadnought battle Brothers! 

"I have this flank covered Brother!"
"And I have this one Brother!"
"Brother!"
"Brother!"

Another Dreadtober concludes, see you all again next year!
