I think it's a chaos dread from the early days.
Thanks Scotty |

Looks like an old Chaos Dreadnought. |

Great. I'm going to put it on eBay. You guys are the best |

Scotty, yep. Chaos Dread. matter of fact I sold one, at Recruits about 3 years ago, looking exactly like that. HostileContact |

Hmm, it was in a tyranid bin my buddy wants me to get rid of here in St. Louis. Might be the same one since we go to recruits. |

When you list it on ebay, be sure to include both of the words 'Dreadnought' and 'Hellbrute' for maximum exposure. |

I've got one of those
I never did figure out how to paint it so that it still didn't look kinda fugly. |

I don't know about the UK, but if I remember correctly, it was only ever available in the US in one of the late 80's retailer "Preview Deals" (one per?). I'd be curious to know if it was ever availible otherwise. IIRC, mine's a bit garish! And I don't remember if I had the pelvis' "stinger" turned backwards, or forewords, like, um, this one

I have one of those! He's painted up on my shelf. |

Its a giant evil sex bot. |

It works OK as a nurgle dread. I doubt it could carry off a slaaneshi colour scheme, stinger or no

I have the lower torso reversed from op. |
Johnny Aces | 18 Mar 2014 5:34 a.m. PST |
It may be ugly, but it has more detail than the Space Marine one from the same time that I have. |

I'm just getting into WH40K thanks to my daughter's boyfriend. Looks like I have a lot of catching up to do! Ted |
Olaf the hairy | 19 Mar 2014 2:16 p.m. PST |
While you are stripping it you might want to take it apart and reasemble it. the shoulder sections ar back to front, the holes should be at the back which will give the posture shown in FredNoris' picture, and as mentioned the lower torso is back to front. That should increase it's desirability to collectors. |

Jaysus, that thing's ugly as sin
