Espada Azul Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 ++UPDATE 10/03++ Now basecoated... Somewhat. Really, I have to admit that I'm really REALLY not good at painting anything even remotely vehicular, due to the large amount of surface area to cover. Still, it's SOMETHING. Now, weathering and maybe battle damage to go! ++ Old Stuff ++ Similarly to the Sternguard (the first five personal plastic conversions of whom I just finished, actually posted here a few weeks ago), I'm excited at the prospect at the new Ironclad dreadnought. Aside from the potential havoc it could wreak in my enemies' lines, there's also the fact that, well, it looks more like something out of Full Metal Panic. ^^ Anyway, it's probably going to be several months before we see an ACTUAL model (though we have the CAD designs now), so like many of the brothers here I started on my own personalized version. Introducing Honored Brother Hagane: I admit to flubbing the right arm, since I really didn't know how to represent the Seismic Hammer arm (nor was I aware that the darned thing was supposed to go on the LEFT arm)... Yeah, guess how many poor bitz got sacrificed before I arrived at this design?

Mal Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Don't be soo harsh, that monstrosity looks awesome (yes I know thats a word thats bandied about a lot, but here it belongs) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/146701-ironclad-dreadnought-under-construction/#findComment-1701561 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubernator Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 OK, now that's one mean dread. I was a little confused by his right arm but worked it out after a few looks. It looks very good :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/146701-ironclad-dreadnought-under-construction/#findComment-1701575 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matador Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 I love it. I myself have been tossing around a few ideas for the seismic hammer. Can I ask, what exactly did you use for it?

Snozz Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 I'm opting for a chainfist on mine because it's easier to build XD. That and I like the idea of Strength 10 + 2D6 AP. Oh wait it get's 4 of those attacks if it charges. On rear armour. The phrase Overkill springs to mind. And it has a meltagun. I think the guy who desinged this beast has something against tanks. ;) Â But that model is fantastic, loving it, might have to steal a few ideas from it. :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/146701-ironclad-dreadnought-under-construction/#findComment-1701957 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disruptor_fe404 Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 I too would like to know what went into the construction of the right arm. Â Snozz: Actually, he'd only get 3 of those attacks on the charge, since a DCCW isn't a second chainfist (and thus doesn't get +1 attack). Still solid though, since it'll mostly be used against vehicles with soft, soft underbelly/rear armour.

Espada Azul Posted October 3, 2008 Author Share Posted October 3, 2008 Update! Some progress (as mentioned on my edited first post) on the base-coating side. Honored Brother Hagane REALLY looks better now. Ooooh, I can just feel it... Now to work on the weathering and possible battle damage...

Wolf89 Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 I really liked how this came along, I may have to steal some of your ideas for use in my worthless AOBR dread. Â Nice paint job to match the great conversion.

OnlyInDeath Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Gahhhh, now I'm gonna have to make myself Dread #5....At least I'll be able to use wisdom of the ancients...

warriorofplasma Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 What I wanna know is how you did the leg armor? I've got mine pretty well bulked up, but I can't figure something I like for the legs....

Brother Garrod Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 you used a master grade NU-Gundams arm as your hammer head :s Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/146701-ironclad-dreadnought-under-construction/#findComment-1715264 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Espada Azul Posted October 3, 2008 Author Share Posted October 3, 2008 Brother Garrod: An arm from an old STANDARD-grade Nu-Gundam. Gunpla ain't cheap, y'know. Besides, given the way my friend's kid cousins tore his gunpla models apart, it was pretty easy to ask for the pieces...

cathar the great Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 I like both the conversion and the color scheme, it's very different from what you usually see around here. And it's nive to see that others had the same idea I had with the front plate Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/146701-ironclad-dreadnought-under-construction/#findComment-1776454 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 I admit to flubbing the right arm, since I really didn't know how to represent the Seismic Hammer arm (nor was I aware that the darned thing was supposed to go on the LEFT arm)... Yeah, guess how many poor bitz got sacrificed before I arrived at this design? Where did you find that the Seismic Hammer is on the left arm? Every other Dreadnought has the left arm as the CC Weapon so why would the Ironclad be different.

Capt. Kenaz Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 I agree with LPETERSON, the 1st thing I thought was Optimus Prime and the transformers! Great model though, if your happy then that's all that counts! <_< Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/146701-ironclad-dreadnought-under-construction/#findComment-1879671 Share on other sites More sharing options...
