Rindaris Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I'd think Dread legs would be quite large compared to a standard marine body. Can't really say for sure until I see it together, but it just doesn't sound like it would turn out that well. Sorry.

Brother xares Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 i agree with Rindaris about the dread legs... but i think it can be a great chapter master anyway :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/160676-chapter-master-with-bionics/#findComment-1885318 Share on other sites More sharing options...
War Angel Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 i think if you use A single leg... have it extend out from his hip, it could be awesome. Â also, its gota be a true scale marine for it to be remotely close to size Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/160676-chapter-master-with-bionics/#findComment-1885344 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castus Xanthis Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 IIRC the socket at the bottom of the torso is the same size as the top of the groin of dreadnought legs. This has potential.

Brother_Beork Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Yes, it has the potential to look very ridiculous. Using dread legs on anything not overscaled is going to look strange, weird and plain ugly. I wouldn't do it. Â But then, a lot of people do stuff I wouldn't and personal taste is exactly that, personal.

Montuhotep Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 You really can't touch this..... :tu: I think though, that picture just confirms my suspicion - it is indeed just too out-sized to be good. Though perhaps if you used magnets so that you could 'detach' the master and swap him to normal legs for in game usage.....?

Driseamail Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 joking aside, you could compromise by maybe converting out a dread to be a kind of bionic wheelchair for him  basically like a throne of judgement, have him sitting within the main body of the dredd like below, with cables and bionics attaching him to the dread via his legs, as if he lost them in an epic battle, and was grafted onto a salvaged dreadnought?  Could keep the feel I think you're going for, without rising the (even in 40k) difference in scale between marine torso and dread legs?  (sorry about the pic, it was the first seated marine i found) http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g60/Driseamail/40k/dread_chair.jpg  (the purple, blue & green things are supposed to be cables :$) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/160676-chapter-master-with-bionics/#findComment-1887320 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortsonfire79 Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 joking aside, you could compromise by maybe converting out a dread to be a kind of bionic wheelchair for him basically like a throne of judgement, have him sitting within the main body of the dredd like below, with cables and bionics attaching him to the dread via his legs, as if he lost them in an epic battle, and was grafted onto a salvaged dreadnought?  I like that picture as well. It looks quite fitting. Even with the "gotta go" marine in there, he looks like hes just reading a pamphlet on driving or something. I vote you should do it like that =-D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/160676-chapter-master-with-bionics/#findComment-1888782 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sevano Tomasin Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I like the sound of the idea. Sounds a little iron hand to me - but, after test fitting a marine torso to dread legs, i can comfirm, it does look a little....silly. Â Driseamail - @ the hammer time - you owe me a new pair of lungs.... *curse my astma and uncontrollable laughter!* Â As for the second idea - I think it would look better if you replaced the dread's legs with the tracks from a thunderfire. why not just buy the ToJ and stick a marine into the chair? Failing that, sit the marine on the INq's knee....

sword brethren Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 i think it would work if the model was much bigger and the legs were closer together but otherwise it looks silly, i do like the idea of maybe him strapped into the dread like the penitent engine but him controling it like one hefty battle suit.

Perry T Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 i'm getting no image mate. i think that it is a nice concept but will be very hard to pull through to a model without it looking stupid. perhaps as i think someone has suggested you could make the dreadnought hips narrower. Â pictures there now. it doesn't look too bad it would be easier to see with less blurry pictures Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/160676-chapter-master-with-bionics/#findComment-1889630 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubernator Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I am but it's so blurry making out details are barely possible.

Sarr Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Try hitting the Macro button on the camera (it's the flower on most cameras). That'll help get the focus into the foreground.

Justin Kase Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 or even take a picture from slightly further away - a clear picture that is a bit smaller, is better then a blurry pic <_< Curious on how he looks.
