Hicks Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 I finally received the stuff I ordered from FW, so I didn't waste any time and went off to finish my Grey Knightdreadnoughts. A few magnets and some glue and they'll be ready to prime: http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb196/HugoS_album/Grey%20Knights/002-2.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/147008-the-ordo-malleus-sent-some-reinforcements/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vash113 Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Wow those look really good. How did you manage the torsos? They don't look heavily greenstuffed but the result deffinitely looks good.

Hicks Posted September 25, 2008 Author Share Posted September 25, 2008 Wow those look really good. How did you manage the torsos? They don't look heavily greenstuffed but the result deffinitely looks good. This is roughly how they're done: First, you'll need to cut a rectangle in plastic card roughly the size of the hole in the dreadnought front plate like so: http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb196/HugoS_album/Grey%20Knights/001-4.jpg Then you glue it inside and wait for it to dry. Then apply greenstuff to the contour and pour some water on a flat surface. Lay the dreadnought front plate flat on the water and apply a sanding motion. The GS should smooth out the cracks and the eccess should go away. You should end up with something like this: http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb196/HugoS_album/Grey%20Knights/002-1.jpg (not that I didn't wait long enough for the glue to dry on this pictures so the plastic rectangle got pushed inside, the end result is still a flat surface). Now it's time to prepare the terminator torso. Take a torso like this one: http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb196/HugoS_album/Grey%20Knights/003-2.jpg Now cut away the flash and flashlights like so: http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb196/HugoS_album/Grey%20Knights/004.jpg Now what you want to do is to sand the part indicated by the red line: http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb196/HugoS_album/Grey%20Knights/008-2.jpg Just lay the torso flat of fine sand paper and sand away. Do it in several shots so you can compensate in case the sanding isn't totally straight. You should end up with something like this: http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb196/HugoS_album/Grey%20Knights/007.jpg http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb196/HugoS_album/Grey%20Knights/006.jpg Now just take a space marine backpack and cut the bottom so it fits under the terminator torso, you can add GS to fill the gap, but it's invisible unless you pick-up the model to look under it. Glue it on and add the termie torso. Fill the gap in the neck with GS and find a suitable head. Sand the back of the head until it fits in the torso and cut a bit of the neck and voilà, dreadnought ready. Hope it helps.
