Rindaris Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 I plan to use Sentinel legs in place of the dreadnought legs. And going to use a Drop Pod missile launcher for the Hunter Killer missiles. I'm also considering adding some iconology to the front armor, but havn't really settled on anything yet.

Hubernator Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Emperor's Pointy Sticks! ... *pursues in getting sued by TSoaLR* "ahem", that is one big set of arms. Ork Warboss claws I'm guessing. That combined with Sentinel legs would make it like a lumbering beast :D Oh the Orky irony :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/162994-ironclad-dreadnought/#findComment-1915611 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rindaris Posted March 12, 2009 Author Share Posted March 12, 2009 ~laughs~ Thanks for the laughs, I needed that. Really, I did :) But no ork bits were used here... those be Defiler claws :) I wasn't to sure about using them when I only had one claw done. But after I got the other one done and figured out I could use the LR Lascannon sponson covers as arm armor it ended up working out quite well... at least imo.

Defiler claws? :) Oh now we've seen it all. "In the current recession, the TechPriests on Mars have ran out of Dreadnought Close Combat hands and have resolved in salvaging Defiler Claws, even while they're still in use and trying to kill them" :P Onto seriousness, keep going with this. Maybe reposition the claws so they don't look like the dread is gonna drag them across the ground ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/162994-ironclad-dreadnought/#findComment-1915651 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rindaris Posted March 12, 2009 Author Share Posted March 12, 2009 Oh, they arn't glued yet. I was holding them in place for the purposes of taking the picture.

Menathorn Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 With some good legs that is going to be a good Dread. The icon on the front should depend on what your chapter has as their icon.

Spacefrisian Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Why legs, drop the legs and you have an auqa dreadnought. He reminds me of this one btw, thats why i say that about the legs. http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f356/AmuroNT1/Gundam%20Wing/Lineart/Cancer.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/162994-ironclad-dreadnought/#findComment-1915749 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother SRM Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Sentinel legs might look sorta scrawny on such a bulky body. @ Wolf Guard Mjolnir: They look like IG track guards to me.

Rindaris Posted March 13, 2009 Author Share Posted March 13, 2009 @Spacefrisian If I was playing Space Sharks I might very well have to do that. But it will be getting legs. @The Emperor's Champion Took me a moment to get the reference. I'd been contemplating using this idea for a Chaos dreadnought, but since I sold my Chaos army and still did want to make an Ironclad, it worked out. @Wolf Lord Mjolnir and Brother SRM Yeap, IG track armor. I find it works very well for SM vehicles as well when you need to bulk them up. I decided on the Sentinel legs because I believe they go along with the whole move through terrian that an Ironclad can do better then the regular stubby legs of a dreadnought. And I intend to add armor to them as well.

Tewligan Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Onto seriousness, keep going with this. Maybe reposition the claws so they don't look like the dread is gonna drag them across the ground :tu: Actually, I think the way they're posed in the pic are pretty great - gives the impression of a gorilla-like behemoth of a machine barreling forward to tear its foe to shreds!

GhostLegion Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 i cant help but giggle at the chicken legs on that thing. the claws are ok i think, but the arms make them look ridiculously large...not to mention the legs being so thin... just my thoughts...nice work on the thing though Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/162994-ironclad-dreadnought/#findComment-1928925 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarr Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 I agree with Terminatorinhell, the legs need some bulking up. Other than that, looks great! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/162994-ironclad-dreadnought/#findComment-1928935 Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeroeightfive Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 i wouldnt use the chicken legs personally, its much too high and makes it look kinda silly and cartoony. best use some lengthened dreadnought legs with extra armour plates added on. if it comes down to it, use some gundam legs or something. some really massively thick ones. the claws are a little too big, i would have use Ghazkghulls claws personally (i cant spell his name and too lazy to find the correct spelling, but you know who im talking about so no worries) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/162994-ironclad-dreadnought/#findComment-1928962 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Blank Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 If you have the parts, you could put two legs on each side. I personally think the height looks good, but the legs look too skinny as they are. Alternately, you could just bulk them out with plasticard and make the feet bigger.

Rindaris Posted March 25, 2009 Author Share Posted March 25, 2009 I definitely intend to bulk up the legs some, just not sure how yet. Was just tired of working on our new apartment last night and wanted to do a bit of 40k work :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/162994-ironclad-dreadnought/#findComment-1929357 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hubernator Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 It looks like that massive Transformer from the new film (those of you who've seen the trailer you miight know what I mean ;) ). Agreed on bulking the legs, maybe add lots of plates. Cos right now he looks like he might fall over from all that weight... *gets flattened by falling dread* owww... ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/162994-ironclad-dreadnought/#findComment-1929699 Share on other sites More sharing options...
