Nice work! If you don't have it yet, you could make an ultra short video of just panning around the army and give a short update. It would go well with some headcannon lore I meshed together from the Scattered Legion and the Sons of Medusa, both thriving without Imperium support with a huge focus on tech and on scavenging. (posted that in a separate comment)
"i wanted to make a dreadnought with a gun for a face, so i made a dreadnought with a gun for a face" warpsmith Kirioth to the emperor's children warmaster.
The back story for these would be cool, the tech marines stranded behind enemy lines build a small dread army from scrap the battle left behind saving their immobilised dreadnought battle brothers
That one....One armed dreadnought could do with a ripped cloak or tabard over the missing limb really think it would help break the shape. Love them all unique personal touches thanks for the update hope your keeping well.
My friend, your are insane, and it is GLORIOUS!!! Wish more 40k players (really, including myself) were more dedicated to producing a really, really cool an unique army instead of a competitive one. I am truly envious. Awesome, awesome job.
"I made a dreadnought with a gun for a face because I thought it would be funny" is the best reasoning you could possibly have and only makes it that much better.
God, I love all this tech heresy. I love imperial designs and the uniformity and stuff, but I love the idea of a few mad tech priests going full ork boi and slapping weapons on vehicles that can hold them. What better than a dreadnought to load building killing weapons on?! Love the whole lot
Let's face it, these Dreadnoughts have fallen Ork Nobz in them, and the Techmarines are just Mekboyz in disguise! Once an Ork player, always an Ork player!
I dont think it is silly! I am currently building my mercenary knight house and is currently up to 11 knights most paintet diffrently! Btw have you thought about a drop pod for them? I know Legion Anvillus Pattern Dreadclaw Drop Pod is chaos but rule of cool!
In my home-brew setting / sector there's a junk world where the Imperium just kinda dumps all the stuff they don't need. I can easily see that being the homeworld to these mad lads.
Love the army, and its an absolute inspiration for my army here in the USA. Constructive Criticism: I can see the value in using a simple color scheme, (Green, Gunmetal, and Rust) however, I suggest either taking away a little of the green (Especially on the Chaos-thingy imo) or adding a little variation in the green. Mayhaps a red or a black. Also, maybe adding another color to those wheels. I hope this isn't so much of a bother to you, because I do very much enjoy this army, and this series of videos!!
I think this is really cool! I got inspired by this to put together a small Helbrute army. Gonna be 5 or 6 Helbrutes in total. They are all gonna be kitbashed and converted with green stuff to make them all look unique. I have only done three so far. But I really want to show them to you since I got the idea from you, so I'll send you some pics once they are done.
I still need to work on them, but this army has really inspired me to make some unique Tau battlesuit aces. Got a ghostkeel all covered in skulls I need to paint, and some green stuff on the way for my commander to have a sweat cloak
This is awesome, absolutely fantastic. Always loved dreadnoughts, I think its because I absolutely loved the old mech assault games, and spammed the shit out of dreadnoughts in the original Dawn of War... they're too awesome not too.
This army is tops Kirioth. The paint scheme you went with, and the cobbled together look of your army makes me see them as a sort of Legion of the Damned style force. As if pieces of Astartes wargear from battlefields across the galaxy, were possessed by the warp echoes of their former occupants, and powered by their half-dead machine spirits. I myself am a fun and fluff player over competitive, so this army to me is bloody glorious. Keep up the great content, and can't wait for more Dreads.
I have watched your vids for a while but somehow I have compleatly missed the "lore" behind your dreadmob and now I'm really interested. Where do I find out more?!
Kirioth: Bringing my dreadnought army to play today Me: Sure, so long as we playing wysiwyg I'm fine Kirioth: (puts down dreadnought army) *panik* Me: (After seeing his dreadnoughts) *panik*
This is awesome! I hated the paintjob on the techmarines in the beginning, but it looks great on the dreads. It seems like these guys' story revolves around crashing on a scrapheap planet and having to literally rebuild themselves from scavenged parts.
The redemptor with the knight pissed doesn't really look out of place as you would think it would, it just looks like it has a powerfist, you know because power fist are bigger than actual gauntlets
Anyone looking for ideas to do a lot of conversions, I looked up and combined some lore (while running a 40k rpg campaign called Dark Heresy 2). The lore below leads to a combination of scavengers and master artisans with an extreme tech focus, a mix of old, new and even experimental or reinvented archeotech. The main focus is the Scattered Legion, the survivors of Istvan V, remaining independent of the Imperium ... even 10k years later. Already in the lore they survived alone, hunting chaos and scavenging what they can. Some eventually returned to their chapter, but not all did... I imagined a the Raven Guard, Salamander and Iron Hands primarchs not minding some force defending the fringes of the Imperium without bureaucracy and without meddling from the upcoming ecclessiarchy. Another surprising feat are the Sons of Medusa, roughly a third of the Iron Hands as the time of the Moirae Schism, splitting off from their parent chapter and surviving without support _even being hunted!_ for many centuries! Not only that, they managed to return and be accepted back into the official Imperium (I think 900 years later?). The third is the Dark Founding, a mysterious part of the Inquisition founded only two chapters, the Exorcists and the Death Specters, a Raven Guard successor chapter. In my head cannon, these are all linked and shrouded in mystery by a small faction within the Inquisition that opposes the extreme fanatics of the ecclessiarchy and supports a mix of philosophies based on Imperial Thruth, Machine Cult (RG Kiavarh variation, with links to Stygies V and Phobos) and the Salamander Prometheus cult (and caring for humans). The Moirae idea of a trio of aspects of the Emperor (Science/Tech, Psychic and Holy visionair) fits perfectly. A split off group, The Green Library, is an alliance of saved fringe forgeworlds, Salamanders, Sons of Medusa with the Dark Angels to hunt, study and "herd" Ork waaghs. The main strategies include breaking apart waagh forces before they grow to big and to lure and steer them towards chaos corrupted worlds and Ork infested worlds might be easier to cleanse than chaos ones. It's a made up predecessor of the Death Watch and allows some cooperation between the official chapters and the Scattered Legion who mask and operate as Deathwatch armies already.
@@Kirioth Nice! I personally liked the madness a techmarine on a bike brings. You can get rapidfire 4 between the twin bolter and a storm bolter, plus T5 and an extra wound because of the bike! Combine that with something like Gorgon's Chain for 4+ invulnerable save and a -1 to be wounded from range, and you've got a mean techmarine!
Favourites: GUNFACE... because gun for a face. Runner up is the Chaplain Dread with the wing motif. I can imagine the vox exhortations of a Chaplain leading his "Brothers of Rust" forward, smoke and sparks flying from his exhausts as he bulls forward through enemy fire. "FORWARD BROTHERS! KILL THEN DIE A SECOND DEATH FOR THE EMPEROR!"
Maybe it’s just the contrast on my mobile but perhaps you could use a stain or something in some of the rust patches like an oil dribble if that makes any sense.
I love the idea, I love the work you've put into converting them and coming up with your own idea for an army. However I HATE the painting, and I'm a bit saddened to see it like that. Feels very rushed and the color scheme just doesn't do the models any justice at all. It saddens me because I see you've put so much love and dedication in the first half of the project and then just kind of let it go in the second half. Imo It would have been better if you gave the impression of old paint on their armour that was worn off and had incurred battle/repair damage. You could even have made it an amalgamation of different chapters coming together to get a more ragtag feel.I hope you put some more time in the painting aspect in the future. With that being said, I still love that you made it your own and good job for that!
I actually thought about the 'battle damaged paint' too, it would look so much better if there was spots of color instead of the flat silver and, tbh, ott rust
I want to thank you for making this army. You talking about making stupid armies made me re-enjoy playing 40k as i now build dump lists, that only wins if i get lucky in maelstrom but all ways brings me a whole lot of fun :D
How deep in the lore paint are you? Do you have like, a story for this force? is there a lore video? or was it a case of just building off an abstract idea?
I really love the DreadMob. Really made my think about the army that i am working on.^^ Soooo i got a question for you Kirioth, as well as for the rest of the community. I am building a Black Dragon force, and i am goint with the "Counts as" stuff aswell. As a centerpiece i want to convert a Heldrake into a Thunderhawk Dropship. Any ideas what pieces might be suitable / how i might go about it?
You should be proud. I know all of us have had a stupid idea for an army, and so few have had the chance to make it come true. We love you ! Btw I lost it at the Gun-for-a-face dreadnought
@KiriothTV - I'm not overly familiar with the game, I mostly love miniatures in general (I grew up with Ral Partha, so... yeah...) I'm curious, are there official rules for what counts as a usable model in tabletop, or does it very from match to match? Like for official rules, only official licensed models? My question is based if there were home-made/printed things, are they ever usable, or does it really depend on the rules of the match/shop?
Tournaments will want official models. However your non games workshop store is 99% likely to let you proxy a 3d print of it looks the part of the army and is painted.
Gauss is spelled in the most german way you can manage, because the weapon was thought of by a german mathematician of the name Gauß (Gauss). I really like that insane Dreadnought army you made there, i love anything Mecha, and the Imperial Walkers are all great designs IMO. Missiles DO HAVE recoil, just significantly less than a cannon. They launch with a lot of power, which shakes the entire launcher, and while not exactly straight back, it still IS recoil.
So I added three invictors to my army. Through command rerolling my invictors explosions one natural one reroll and the death of all three of the invictor units and one jump pack guy. they were able to wipe out the other army to 4 individuals before the rest of my army could make it across the board. One and a half rounds. That is a lotopower.
Sorry guys I totally forgot to edit in a full shot of the army! This is a pic of the full force at WHW: i.imgur.com/ST8hwsW.jpg
KiriothTV I like the rust but could go without the green glowy stuff
Nice work! If you don't have it yet, you could make an ultra short video of just panning around the army and give a short update.

warpsmith Kirioth to the emperor's children warmaster.
at this point im convinced that random extra bits of warhammer models just sorta materializes around Kirioths office
If I should find something to disprove that I whould put it here but I'm not so sure I can
Galeon Graveyard, but for lost parts from minis
For a chapter to have this many dreadnoughts...does that mean they're good or does that mean they get wounded easy?
Even disbanded, they still serve!
I mean bring enough anti vehicle probaly but with how much versitilitty he has who knows
The Chapter administrates a superb healthcare system that also gives a second chance to cybermechanik college dropouts.

I love the one thats' holding the heavy onslaught cannon, it's a beast.

Once an Ork player, always an Ork player!
Ha orks convert everything including tabletop players
I dont think it is silly! I am currently building my mercenary knight house and is currently up to 11 knights most paintet diffrently!
Btw have you thought about a drop pod for them? I know Legion Anvillus Pattern Dreadclaw Drop Pod is chaos but rule of cool!
At first I read the thumbnail as "2,752 points of shame", which, given the depths of your addiction, feels apt
13:00 it is a playable mark! A close combat rocket pod!
Im confused why you went into detail with a lot rust but leave the neon green?
I imagine these as the creations of a rogue heretek who really like makeing things up as he goes along
I’ve had plans to design my own 3D printable naughts on my channel for a while now.. I think I’ll start with some killakans!
U should try to convert the dreadmob to stl!
In my home-brew setting / sector there's a junk world where the Imperium just kinda dumps all the stuff they don't need. I can easily see that being the homeworld to these mad lads.
I LOVE THESE!! I have literally just started my own all dread force and this has been a HUGE inspiration. Can't wait to have fun with this.
This is one of my favorite armies that I've ever seen. Really inspires me to mess around with some dreadnoughts.
Love the army, and its an absolute inspiration for my army here in the USA.

Godspeed Kirioth keep being Mental with your designs
This army looks amazing! Well done! Would love to see some light source painting from that awesome green light effect you’ve done.

Those colors are real nice
40 minutes of kiri talkin about dreadnoughts? hell yes please
I think you've hit the nail on the head: This should be FUN and that's what you've achieved!
I have watched your vids for a while but somehow I have compleatly missed the "lore" behind your dreadmob and now I'm really interested. Where do I find out more?!
'Dreadmob' lmao
32:36 bastion is that you
12:50 congratulations now you can play that model xD you are ahead of the curve
These would look awesome next to your Dark Mechanicus kill team. I'd love to see the twisted factory these came from.
I use the same fluoro green! It's great!
That Chaplain dreadnought looks absolutely amazing, Kirioth!
Skullbeard made me laugh so hard. I love these mate, they are so fun! keep it up!
Its your army, and you do as you want,
do as you want to, I would too ,
if I had an army like you
Flash forward a year "Well, I played my first apocalypse game with the dread mob..."
Kirioth: Bringing my dreadnought army to play today
Me: Sure, so long as we playing wysiwyg I'm fine
Kirioth: (puts down dreadnought army) *panik*
Me: (After seeing his dreadnoughts) *panik*
There all cool but the Chaplain Dread is my favorite😃
This army is bonkers, I love it.
Its great to see how much creativity people put into Primaris armies despite the lack of extra bits in their base boxes.
This is awesome! I hated the paintjob on the techmarines in the beginning, but it looks great on the dreads. It seems like these guys' story revolves around crashing on a scrapheap planet and having to literally rebuild themselves from scavenged parts.
The praetors come in a pack of two one in power armour one in catafractii. I suspect thats where the other tech marine came from
The redemptor with the knight pissed doesn't really look out of place as you would think it would, it just looks like it has a powerfist, you know because power fist are bigger than actual gauntlets
My god this army is glorious.... I love it..... as much as I loved kitbashing my own techmarine, for a redemptor....
These are all completely bonkers and I love them all.
i really like the green effect. really striking
Have you considered Custodes Dreadnoughts for the Chaplains?
Have you done a tutorial on how to paint your rust effect? I see the link for the paints but not how you did it.
That rust is very convincing, do you give your recipe in your videos?
I'm planning to do a tutorial type thing this week provided I don't lose my voice again!
Wow! What a lovely things to wake up to ♥
You have just given me a terrible terrible yet wonderful idea for a full centurion force. Especially that one holding the gatling onslaught cannon...
This scheme actually works nicely and some fun conversions

You could really help your army, by painting all the base edges black, as well as drybrushing a bit of a brighter colour on the bases.

I really like that insane Dreadnought army you made there, i love anything Mecha, and the Imperial Walkers are all great designs IMO.
Missiles DO HAVE recoil, just significantly less than a cannon. They launch with a lot of power, which shakes the entire launcher, and while not exactly straight back, it still IS recoil.
So I added three invictors to my army. Through command rerolling my invictors explosions one natural one reroll and the death of all three of the invictor units and one jump pack guy. they were able to wipe out the other army to 4 individuals before the rest of my army could make it across the board.
