They look great! I always liked White Scars but was afraid of trying to paint them. Seems like you'd have to paint them twice to get that nice white armor.
One comment though, Index Astartes said no White Scars would accep to be incarcerated into a walking metal tomb, they are said to love their freedom and vast open spaces too much, therefore there were no dreadnought whithin the White scars legion nor in its successor chapters.
Furthermore, Dreadnoughts once deployed are too slow to keep up with the WS operational tempo.
I am aware of this bit of fluff, but I also believe there are exceptions to every rule. The desperation faced during the dark days of the Siege of Terra called for such an exception in this case. There'll be a story with him when he is done...
Also, funny thing, that Index Astartes was written by Paul Sawyer (who was WD editor at the time) and in the battle reports he would always field 2(!) Dreadnoughts!

My 2 cents.

I actually have quite an easy technique, I'll be doing a tutorial on my next batch...

That's a good idea! ;)
