An Ironclad alibi... An Angels Solarus dreadnought

Photobucket

This was probably the most elaborate of all the Solarus dreadnoughts.  The weapon arms were something I had never done before, which is saying something.  I have painted 4 or 5 dozen different arms in my day :-)

Here are some more images, with a variety of arms...

Magnetizing these arms (and all of the Blood Angels dreadnought arms), present a challenge with the 'hollow' nature of the shoulder housing.  It took some engineering to get that done.
