Kreidian Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 I've been wanting to get a good venerable into my army recently but I didn't much like the current venerable dreadnaught, doesn't look at all wolfy enough for me. So instead I'm working on building my own proper Space Wolf Venerable Dreadnaught. Still needs alot of work but I think you guys might like it...

Dark Bjoern Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Not bad. The idea is good. I would have cut out the dread-torso to get the new one deeper into the model. And the AC looks a bit small. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/186763-venerable-dreadnaught-wip/#findComment-2208554 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Mage Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Looks good to me... the AC is much more dynamic on this model than the standard, and I like the homage to the FW vendreads with the Wolf Helm. Kinda wish Id though of this one actually lol. Looks like all you need is some GS for the WP and your set.

Oldenhaller Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Looks good - I think the comments on carving the sarcophogus down are acurate as the chest sticks out a little too much. Like the assault cannon - is very nicely fitted. Chainfist may be an issue as there are rules for dreads having chain fists? My only real gripe is the head...I really dislike it. It's a bad sculpt compared to the original metal captain one and looks just to kitch and animae rather than fierce Looking forward to seeing it in paint ~O Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/186763-venerable-dreadnaught-wip/#findComment-2208658 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rindaris Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Space Wolves have no rules for a chainfist on a dreadnought, but I don't foresee anybody giving you any grief over that. Its a DCCW all the same (I mean I plan to do the same thing for my Bjorn and don't foresee anyone where I play giving it a second thought). The torso and head seem kind of slapped on. Should be thinner and you need something on the lower portion of the torso to bring it all together. I like the general idea of the SW assault cannon, and was about to say I love it.. but then I took a second look. The termy arm is still clearly visible and that just looks.... bad. Sorry. The idea has plenty of potential, just needs more work. Keep at it :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/186763-venerable-dreadnaught-wip/#findComment-2208728 Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurglespuss Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Yeah, I like it, its pretty darn original ;) You can use whatever you like for a dreadnought CCW (tree limb, hammer, toe nail clipping-flail etc.) as long as its a CCW of some sort :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/186763-venerable-dreadnaught-wip/#findComment-2209300 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typical Cricket Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 I don't really like the torso and wolf head on the front, but maybe it's because it sticks out a little too far. Perhaps it just needs to be integrated better into the rest of the dreadnought. I also agree with Rindaris that the Terminator arm shouldn't be seen.

Niiai Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Wow I must say i like the concept a lott! Only, his arm needs to be bigger. Also, the chest should be further into the armour because he is after all driving the dread. I like the chest and the head very well. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/186763-venerable-dreadnaught-wip/#findComment-2209346 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joasht Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 As some have said, its an awesome concept, but when I look at the sarcophagus I kinda see a terminator front torso stuck on the normal dreadnought sarcophagus instead of the intended look ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/186763-venerable-dreadnaught-wip/#findComment-2210330 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niiai Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 I like the wolfhead in the termoinatour body. I am gonne steal that for one of my terminatours. :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/186763-venerable-dreadnaught-wip/#findComment-2210489 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragnar Blood Giver Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 I like it. and considering FW have a number of ven dreads. for other chapters, none for us. good job but ain't a ven a bit toooooo... costly 2xx pts I had my own ven, but since the dex; LF's are more cost effective.

Kreidian Posted December 10, 2009 Author Share Posted December 10, 2009 I'm glad you guys like it! Personally I thought the Wolf Guard Terminator AC looked much better then the stock Dread AC. If anything the default Dread AC was too small for me, too stocky. Plus this AC comes with all sorts of nifty Wolfy frills, such as the wolf head and the wolf charms, not to mention the belt feed, I love that thing. I wanted some of the terminator arm to still be there so the whole thing kept an actuated feel about it, and also to make it clear that this thing was not built by the more modern, boring standards. As for the head sticking out, I do agree with what's been said, however last time I tried something like this digging into the hull of the Dread I just didn't like the way it came out at all. From personal experience I find this just looks better overall, though that could just be a reflection of my skill. ;) As for the chain fist, it's just a basic Dread CC weapon, nothing more. I was thinking about doing a more claw like hand for more of that wolfy goodness, but I'm pretty happy with how this looks so I decided to keep it. :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/186763-venerable-dreadnaught-wip/#findComment-2210653 Share on other sites More sharing options...
