I've always had this small pewter Dreadnought model on top of my monitor for as long as I can remember. And the inspiration in the 40k world was almost solely responsible for me getting into 3d in the first place. So when I hit a creative block I just picked this guy up and started modeling. This was my first heavy textureing project as well as my first proper IK rig.
