orphanfeast99 Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Its nice but......kind of awkward. Having such a boxy and solid chassis on such spidery legs looks weird, and the guns look like they where just bolted on wherever they would fit. Its a good consept but not very well executed. Try heavily converting a normal standing Dread before you move on to more......exotic ideas. Well dont for what it is though, just make sure you see the faults in its design.

lmyrick Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 I don't know. I'm not seeing the faults the previous poster seems to see. I really like it, though it's quite different from any dread I've seen with those tall legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xceptionzero Posted January 5, 2009 Author Share Posted January 5, 2009 critisicim's good considering its one of my first conversions. in context when stood next to defilers he looks good for scale. orphanfeast99 got any links to your stuff? The fluff was that during a campaign in an urban environment the SW needed more firepower and came up with this dread. I originally had the idea when I first saw the VDR rules so many moons ago. Hoping to try him out in apocalypse some time soonish no point in a standard game as he looks out of place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orphanfeast99 Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 I dont really play alot but i do have some pics of a conversion i made for my friend under the tutorials section Link: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...howtopic=156083 sry if my critique was a little hard, was having a bad day, i stand by a few of my points, but looking at it with a brighter sun in the sky, its not as flawed as i claimed it was, my apologies brother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sons of Horus Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 very nice but i was never a fan of tall dreads. ironclad dreads are supposed to be bulky and tough so this strikes me as a bit awkward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xceptionzero Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 mmm perhaps I shouldnt describe it as an ironclad. Instead maybe a design in its own right. Ideas could be that its used for negotiating deep snow, jungles etc. Yup I officially scrath the "ironclad" from its description. anyone know a good name, i was thinking: 1: create a unique character?: Thoralf as the dreadnought 2: "strider" class dreadnought? etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
