Clone Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 I've just seen the new Ven Dread on GW. It looks good but as a Wolf I can't really see anything useful for us except for the Power Fist and Plasma Cannon. What would you do to Wolf it up? Here's the link for the Ven Dread: http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/...dId=prod630020a Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/192002-new-ven-dread-and-wolfing-it-up/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godhead Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 I don't like the look of it for a SW dread. Something about the plate detail and the head that looks very unwolfy.

WOLF_GUARD Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Personally cant wait to get my hands on one and i disagree about the plates not looking wolfy i think with some green stuff and abit tweaking could look super big thumbs up from me :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/192002-new-ven-dread-and-wolfing-it-up/#findComment-2278732 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLastHuzzah Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Bah, Clone beat me to dropping the news (I know Dark Bjoern mentioned it last week sometime, but this has pics)! It shouldn't be that hard to wolf up. I will personally be cutting up some old school dozer blades to turn the fist hand into a claw hand, cover the not as wolfy parts with the skull emblem (SW bits sprue, from old GH/BC/Fangs) and some Green stuff/wolf tails and Bob's your Uncle. -Huzzah Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/192002-new-ven-dread-and-wolfing-it-up/#findComment-2278738 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Runner Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Well as a basic requisite, add some wolf skulls, furs and at least one WTN. I'd also consider using plasticard to design your great company's symbol on the plates to the sides of the head instead of the plaques (similar to the Forgeworld dread). When you've glued it together could you post a pic showing the comparison with a normal dread and the Forgeworld one if yo haveit, and if it is not too much trouble. I'd love to see their dimensions. Also, I kind of like this one more than the old, which was way too baroque for me.

Hfran Morkai Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Paint runes. I might actually give free-handing it a go. Paint it grey as well...

MagneticFreak Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 HAve you guys considered the Forge World one? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/192002-new-ven-dread-and-wolfing-it-up/#findComment-2278790 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hfran Morkai Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 HAve you guys considered the Forge World one? I have, it's a beautiful miniature and I would love one but I'm not a huge fan of resin. Also it doesn't come with any weapons (though FW have an extensive range.), how does the heavy flamer mount on FW dreads? Plus I don't want to pay shipping really. However the main reason I'm put off is my paypal account seems to have disappeared and I cannot order stuff through them AFAIK. I will probably get one eventually to represent Bjorn but can use the GW one as a stand-in Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/192002-new-ven-dread-and-wolfing-it-up/#findComment-2278806 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagneticFreak Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Oh I see. I ordered one this weekend(with my credit card, just to let you know its possible), without any arms. I will use the ones I have, the Old Bjorn clawed arm with fur on it, and another weapon, probably a multi melta.

Skirax Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 I'm going to be using it as a Bjorn model. Going to green stuff over most inscribing plates, and stick pelts etc. all over it. From the looks of the sprue, there are lots of Head options, and they look to be the same size as normal heads, so putting a nice ornate head in there will be great.

EricBasser Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 I will be getting one. I have 3 old Bjorn models, 2 of which are the Auto Cannons set up. With this model, I can wolf it up and it can be the new Bjorn Model and I can convert the last one to Auto Cannons. I really like the Plasma Cannon, and the Power Fist DCCW. I'm going to try and make a hammer for the Power Fist to hold.

bazleuk Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 looking at the sarcophagus i think i would remove the chest section above the cables and replace it with on from the WG terminators and the add some brass etched pieces to the side panels, i think it would be easy to wolf it up Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/192002-new-ven-dread-and-wolfing-it-up/#findComment-2278950 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marek Grimfang Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Its plastic. A Dremel, a knife, a file, and some GS, will do just fine. Add some brass etchings.
