Vertebrae Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 How do you model two extra DCCW on them? I'm just look for other peoples ideas before I glue everything together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuNCHBiZZLe Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 my friend did the living weapon(flail)on both sides but he had bought 2 boxes at the same time.the other thing would be getting 2 extra front claws and mounting them in the arm/gun spots some way.

Zhukov Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 Haha I remember what I did, really silly: I cut of the end of the autocanon barrels and voilà a DCCW! Really ugly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raibaru Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 Didn't do it yet, but intention was to use dreadnought arms with thraka CCW glued to the fronts. Really wish Forgeworld would make a kit for the defiler. Every single army list I've seen for 40k that includes a defiler uses the extra pair of close combat weapons, and the ones in the box are just awful. I just imagine a fiddler crab type setup. Would go well with the scorpion model. It could use the large pincer claw as a sort of shield for the front, and a highly mobile pincer claw with weapons on it so it could be used as a CCW or autocannon.

LuNCHBiZZLe Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 sounds cool Raibaru a giant crab O death would make me look twice before pissing it off with a melta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mchagen Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 You could find some ideas using non-chaos bits. http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/...equestid=772484 That ork buzzsaw would look nice with some slight modifications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawk Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 In the Apocalypse reload book they took two extra front claws and attached them to the weapon slots. That'd give you a crab-like look, though not really fiddler style. But, as I always say when anyone asks for defiler help...MAGNETIZE!!! That way you always have options and never get stuck with a bad decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Humongous Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 I'm considering mounting mine coming off the lower hull like a spiders pedipalps. That seems like it would look better for small arms. Arms long enough to reach from the upper torso down to the ground (which I think is the only thing would look right) seem a pain to build and hard to engeneer, especially if I want them magnetized, so going with little stubby "DCCW" style arms between the big claws seems a good move. http://whatcom.wsu.edu/ag/homehort/pest/images/hobopalppict.jpghttp://www.forgeworld.co.uk/acatalog/leftarmchainstore.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corpse. Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 I like using wire. The fat quarter inch thick sottering wire you buy for like 10 bucks at the local hardware store. Bend a bunch (three wires) in a sircle or braid pattern extending from a mutated shoulder mount (or mounts if you do both sides) long enough to tower over the enemy. I modelled mine to have two low claws that string from under, and two high claws that slash from above like scorpion stingers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EEG Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 carnifex arms ought to work too (i think) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vertebrae Posted May 11, 2009 Author Share Posted May 11, 2009 carnifex arms ought to work too (i think) I've seen this done, and it's far from impressive unless you sculpt some muscles on it. Otherwise it look like you've just pasted a tyranid arm on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fausto2071 Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 carnifex arms ought to work too (i think) agreed w/ vertebrae. crushing claws would probably be the best, and even then it should only be done with a Soul Grinder IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuNCHBiZZLe Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 yeah I've seen crushing claws or sything talons on Defilers and I always shake my haed and go nid bits why do people convert tanks with nid bits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Hereticus Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Luckily, there is a guy at my club with a daemon army, which means he has left over defiler CCW weapons from making his soul grinders. Wheee!! 3 x 4 DCC Defilers with 'Zerker riders, here I come! "You call THAT cavalry?!?! THIS is cavalry!!!" :devil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Humongous Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Here's the solution I came up with. They are magentized, as are the covers on the "armholes" and the weapons that (used to) go there. http://www.urbandead.info/seb_wiers/images/defilerA550.jpg http://www.urbandead.info/seb_wiers/images/defilerC550.jpg http://www.urbandead.info/seb_wiers/images/defilerB550.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
