Sometimes you manage to find a good job lot of models when searching eBay. I managed just such a bundle when trying to get some Orks a few months ago. Alongside the aforementioned green blighters, there were enough RTB01 marines for a tactical squad, and one of the old Rogue Trader Space Marine Dreadnoughts.
This fellow came along with a lascannon and a power fist with twin bolters, as well as the short legs, but was in pretty good nick. A swift bath in the stripping solution, and he was ready for a new coat of paint. My inspiration here was the one in the 2nd Edition rulebook, on the page of dreadnoughts (or dreadnought adjacent) models.
Given that my Blood Angels are from the 5th company, I slightly changed the banner design to reflect that, but otherwise tried to paint it up in the same style.
Here he is, battling his Ork counterpart in the midst of an Ork settlement. He hasn’t actually made it onto the battlefield proper as yet, but I’m sure he will do soon.
