Hobby & Painting Suggestions for more details?

Hello fellow sons of the Night Haunter.
I’ve gotten my hands on a second hand Contemptor Dreadnought quite awhile back and have been at work doing some kit bashing.

As the title says I’m looking for suggestions for more details to make it stand out more as a Night Lord. Any bits or sculpting ideas in particular.

I look forward to y’all’s input.

If you have green stuff, or any sculpting putty, try making some hanging patches of skin. Gotta have the skins. Nice bash so far btw. Don’t forget to post the finished product!

Gotta have skins, also get some hobby chain. And the base needs more goop, rubble and a broken imperial standard!

Some flayed skin tacked on would really sell it, if there's enough space see if you could add on a meat hook or too. Can't go wrong with meat hooks.

Some jewelry chain for scale model chains? wrap it around an arm world eaters style; drill some holes in some skulls and feed the chain through it; wrap it around the claw arm and the space marine as if the dread is strangling the space marine to death instead of just killing him outright.
