Hakanorsreaver Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 I've been thinking about getting a dreadnought for a while and recently saw the new Ironclad Dreadnought. I don't really want to spend the extra 15 bucks on a chaos one I also really like the look of it. So I was wondering if i could do some small conversions and just use this dreadnought instead.

eyescrossed Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Why wouldn't you be able to? As long as it's got at least a single Chaosy thing on it, or a Chaosy paintjob, I don't see why anyone would have a problem with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnarRedsun Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 hell i think its a brilliant idea. in fact i use several kits for my 4 dreads, space wolf ven dread, furioso, plastic dread, and chaos. add in the right bits and it will look awesome man.

Prot Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 I swear to this day the only reason the Chaos Dreadnaught stayed stuck with those horrendous rules is because GW couldn't make a new one in time for release. Go for it. There's no need to spend big bucks on that old school chunk of toaster if you don't want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minigun762 Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Its what I'd do, especially since the dual DCCW is the safest way of using a Dread. It also helps that the Ironclad looks slightly different then a normal Dreadnought, being more bulky and such. I had thought about trying to convert the Hurricane Bolter into a "count as" TL Heavy Bolter, but not quite sure yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chillin Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 If you've bought even 1 chaos rino you have more spikey bits then you know what to do with. Just add a few of those, shave off any Imperial markings and you should be good to go. If you want to get alittle more into it you could break out the GS and get a few WHFB bits (a dragon arm used to cost @ $3 US, do they still do bits like that ?) and GS it into the dread (please no tenticles :( ) Would not be hard to make a iron clad dread a chaos dread.

I'll also be doing this if I go through with a small 1000pts Bezerker army, having my Dreadnought arm with two Close Combat arms. It is a really nice models & be a shame not turn convert a chaos one :wallbash: IP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
