S. Bloodhowl Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 I'm planning on starting a space wolf army soon (I have most of the models but am waiting till after my exams, end of may-ish). One of the models in said army is a dreadnought with DCCW and assault cannon but i've hit a snag: I bought the ironclad as it has the coolest DCCW but it has no assault cannon and so I have thought up several ideas for converting one. Now the space wolves, being nutters and all, don't strike me as being the type to give up a big smashy arm for a big noisy gun, they would compromise. So here are my ideas: 1-mount two small assault cannons (land speeder ones, from raven wing, I'm no heretic though) underneath the body of the dread, so that he can have two choppy arms. 2-use the seismic hammer mounting to house to small assault cannons, its still a smashy arm of sorts. 3-I've seen someone do this before but cant remember their name or the thread. Mount the assault cannons on the combat arm not using the DCCW, so its almost like a pistol of sorts. C&C welcome as are any suggestions as to other mountings. I think my fave has to be 3 at the moment. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/198395-dreadnought-weaponry/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simo429 Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 i think you can just order the weapons separately from forgeworld dont know if that helps Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/198395-dreadnought-weaponry/#findComment-2363258 Share on other sites More sharing options...
S. Bloodhowl Posted April 15, 2010 Author Share Posted April 15, 2010 Yeah, you can as I've done it before but they aren't the same size as Gw ones (they are a bit smaller), and anyway, as I've said I want something that doesn't look like it would be useless in close combat Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/198395-dreadnought-weaponry/#findComment-2363373 Share on other sites More sharing options...
hendrik Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 make the arm incorporate the assaultcannon( i'd go for only one, WYSIWYG). but make sure you have it beltfed like our nice terminator assaultcannon. edit; typed too fast the first idea would make it hard to resemble WYSIWYG as he would have 2 AC and 2 DCCW Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/198395-dreadnought-weaponry/#findComment-2363426 Share on other sites More sharing options...
S. Bloodhowl Posted April 15, 2010 Author Share Posted April 15, 2010 The only reason I'll be using 2 is cause i dont have one that looks big enough on its own Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/198395-dreadnought-weaponry/#findComment-2363468 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godhead Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 built mine with one of the plastic assault cannons from the landspeeder kit. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/198395-dreadnought-weaponry/#findComment-2363553 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Mage Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Id mount one on top, where the missile launchers would otherwise go.... give it a little housing, like a shoulder mount so it can swivel and scan around for targets.

Ragnars Claw Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Thats a good idea and probably what i would do as well. It could look rather good! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/198395-dreadnought-weaponry/#findComment-2364016 Share on other sites More sharing options...
S. Bloodhowl Posted April 15, 2010 Author Share Posted April 15, 2010 I like that idea, maybe like a mini razorback mount thing. hmm... :: EDIT :: Knocked up some images for this idea, which is now my fave, 4 or 5? I think 5 is the best so far Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/198395-dreadnought-weaponry/#findComment-2364326 Share on other sites More sharing options...
