IamJacksUserName Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I just completed an Iron Clad I was commissioned to do. I figured I would toss it up here and see what everyone thought. I appreciate any comments or criticism. I would also appreciate any suggestions for improvement before I turn it over to its new home. I might make myself a couple of these as well considering that I have not heard much about a release date for the official model. I have just been drop podding my regular dreads as proxies. *edited for spelling* Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/157288-iron-clad-commission/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
T14 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Looks great, Im getting a very original visual vibe from it :D The arms look a wee bit spindly, considering the dreadnought tyoe, so I'd add some armor plating to the arms (just enough to still keep the hydraulics visible tho) to bulk them up abit. Otherwise a top notch job IMO -T14 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/157288-iron-clad-commission/#findComment-1839612 Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuriousFerret Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 This is exactly how I imagine a seismic hammer. ;) A huge swivelling pneumatic piston arm of DOOOOOM! Well done!

T14 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 the hammer arm is a cut down sentinel leg right? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/157288-iron-clad-commission/#findComment-1839671 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyoz Devastrius Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I had a very similar idea for the dreadnought - is the marine much broader than the original sarcophagus? How have you done it? Did you had to cut the whole dread body in half to fit the marine?

Sons of Horus Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 aren't the marines inside supposed to be protected and not exposed? anyway i've said this a lot, i think it needs to be buffed out.

Keyoz Devastrius Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 In my case the idea is that the dreadnought sarcophagus would be similar to those of medieval knights with a bas-relief of the fallen warrior in full armour on the lid.

Mal Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 aren't the marines inside supposed to be protected and not exposed? anyway i've said this a lot, i think it needs to be buffed out. I think thats supposed to be purely cosmetic, by the time the marine needs a dread scarcophogus (or how ever its spelt) they are in too many pieces (read: goo) to make use of regular armour.

elijahdprophet Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Very cool, I like the armor on the front. If I get around to making a Venerable I might steal that idea.

cathar the great Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 The sarcophagus idea is great, but as said the arms look a bit too spindly for a dreadnought.

MEanBOb Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Yes as it has been said many times before, the arms need some bulking out. Otherwise great work with the sarcophagus, very very VERY WIN.

IamJacksUserName Posted January 13, 2009 Author Share Posted January 13, 2009 I am glad to see so many positive and constructive comments here. I am going to have to dig through my bits box to see what I can do about bulking out or armoring the arms. the hammer arm is a cut down sentinel leg right? Indeed it is. In my case the idea is that the dreadnought sarcophagus would be similar to those of medieval knights with a bas-relief of the fallen warrior in full armour on the lid. That is exactly what I was going for. I figure a sarcophagus for a marine should be far more ornate than they are. I had a very similar idea for the dreadnought - is the marine much broader than the original sarcophagus? How have you done it? Did you had to cut the whole dread body in half to fit the marine? I did indeed have to cut the dreadnought in half to fit the space marine in there. In fact I even then had to cut down the should pads a bit to get him in just right. This is actually the third "larger" dreadnought I have done. This is the first and came out a bit bigger than the new owner of this dreadnought liked so this is shrunk a bit.

Shortsonfire79 Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Thats such an awesome front sarcophagi, on both of them! And a great integration of the grenade thingies on the arms on the first one.
