Montuhotep Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Okay, here goes nothing! I wanted an Ironclad but never tried vehicle converting before, so let's see about this.... Warlord Feet and Leg plates, metal Dread Legs and arms, 2 x Gazhgkull Thraka power klaws, Deathwind launcher from a Pod, Heavy Flamer from an Immolator, plasticard, GS, metal bits, chaos smoke launcher, Ravenwing searchlight, Mk IV engine block and some seriously crossed fingers. Completed arms save GS'ing - the smoke launcher arm is going to be the Seismic Hammer - on the assumption that if this clangs into your hull, you're going to know about it. Legs and feet done. Sarcophagus ready; the plates are from a Landspeeder - last minute idea. The square gap is where the HF will go. Let me know what you think?

blood_raven_240 Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 That Sarcophagus is rockin'! Sersiously, I like it already Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/159801-ironclad-dread-wip/#findComment-1874641 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montuhotep Posted February 8, 2009 Author Share Posted February 8, 2009 Thank'ee, thank'ee - the front plate comes from an old MK1 rhino, then the LS grav plates go over the top and the harness o'top that.

Pig Of Sparta Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Looking promising, I'll be keeping an eye on this :). Loving the look of the torso/sarcophagus armour and those power claws look pretty impressive too.

Honda Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 That was a very clever use of the LS grav plates. I never would have thought of that. I'm really looking forward to seeing the arms on him. BTW, what color(s) is he going to be? Keep up the good work, this looks to be a very interesting project.

aNex88 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Looks pretty good so far. Love the idea for the sarcophagus. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/159801-ironclad-dread-wip/#findComment-1875431 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Captain Andrecus Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 The sarcophagus is very attention-grabbing. I like it! This is a pretty cool conversion, so-far. Keep it up!

Desert Eagle Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Very cool loking dread in the works, excellent choice of bits, i really like what you've begun here. Only suggestion so far is about the "seat belt thingy" from the drop pod you've put on the sarcophagus. I like it, but i think it would look better if you cut another one apart and made the bars running up on either side mirror the other. Just a small suggestion.

Montuhotep Posted February 9, 2009 Author Share Posted February 9, 2009 May I present Chaplain Abraxas - Ironclad. Formerly High Chaplain of the Sapphire Scorpions before getting in the way of a Bloodthirster who got out of the wrong side of bed.... (Okay, still needs paint, but essentially done.)

Hubernator Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Should've called him Chaplain Grimlock B) "GRIMLOCK IS BEST. GRIMLOCK SMASH!" Seriously, it looks great.

Montuhotep Posted February 9, 2009 Author Share Posted February 9, 2009 And this is your first vehicle conversion. :blink: Okay, I'll rephrase - first one I'm happy with. Plus the idea has been in my head for nigh-on 10 years, so it's had plenty of time to germanate. Just been waiting this long for GW to give us a proper unit for him! :lol: The assault launcher arm functions as the seismic hammer - on the understanding that if it slams into a tank hull, the crew are going to know all about it!

Marshal Rohr Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Freaking sweet dreadnaught. The titan legs are subtle but effective. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/159801-ironclad-dread-wip/#findComment-1876599 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montuhotep Posted February 10, 2009 Author Share Posted February 10, 2009 Sooooo awesome. How long did it take you to do? About 3 days to build and then another 2 to get all the fiddly bits done like the gap filling and so on. Helps that I'm unemployed - I have lots of time to spare! ;) Marshal; they're not totally the Warlord legs - just Warlord plates onto metal dreadnought legs. The full legs would have given me something thin and spindly like a Juggernaught dread - I decided squat and powerful was the way to go.
