Jakobus Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 My plan is to use two of the Chainfists from the Ironclad set. But then I've been making my guys up as Flesh tearers and there are quiet a few Chainaxes in the mix. Not enough in my mind but I work with what I have on hand. The other option I was thinking of was the Buzz Saws from the new Ork Dread/Kans box but I'm not convinced they'll look solid enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Nathan Posted June 8, 2010 Author Share Posted June 8, 2010 picturing that id say those would be perfect for flesh tearers. Can we see pics when its ready please. Anyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Looted Monolith Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 I will be making my flesh tearer dread's blood talons out of 2 killer kan buzz saws I found in my bitz box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trace Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 I made some by adding some talon like bits from a dark elf warrior banner to the ends of the regular dreadnought cc weapon fingers. I'll post pics when I get home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaplain Hiltraud Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 I am waiting for a box set of hormagaunts in the mail (I personally hate tyranids and am using heads and whatnot as a gory base for my characters etc) so I've been thinking that their talons will be perfect for my blood talon conversion. I haven't seen them in real life yet but I'll probably need to bulk them out with greenstuff. Don't expect any pics soon though, as usual I've got way to much other stuff to complete! Yours in Honour and Faith, Chaplain Hiltraud PS When I get round to building the dreadnought part of the army, I intend to use sentinal legs on all dreads, got any ideas on that?

Priest33 Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Whats the reasion for using sentinal legs on dreads? Are you going for chicken walkers? Personaly for my blood talons ive just filed the ends of my dreads close combat hands anyway. I could see some extra greenstuff being used to bulk them up as well however.

Chaplain Hiltraud Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Whats the reasion for using sentinal legs on dreads? Are you going for chicken walkers? Hahaha. Chicken walkers. No no no I was looking at some recent conversions and thought the longer legs looked a little more functional. The stumps that the dread possesses at the moment look like He'd never reach the battle because of obstacles. Hmmm and they have no knee joints. how does that work? Anyway, I got inspired by this pic in particular http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10904.jpg In no way do I take credit for this, it is Hubernator's work. Hubernator if you are reading this, I hope you don't mind me using your pic as a reference. And awesome job too. Anyways, I intend to bulk up the "chicken legs" with plasticard and armour.

Brother Nathan Posted June 9, 2010 Author Share Posted June 9, 2010 here what i managed to do today towards mine, thoughts? http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s317/generalhazard_album/models/P5310610.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slim Pickens Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Looks good Brother Nathan, what did you use for the talons? Trygon spikes? And can we get a little closer look at the greenstuff work please? The melta bit looks good, but needs a little scraping to remove flash line on the canister.

Pcm979 Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Very nice indeed. If you're going for maximum Codex accuracy they seem a bit stubby, but personally I wouldn't worry about that. Some guitar wire to make power cords and maybe a sprue piece or two to liven up the blank parts would make it pretty much as good as it can get. But then again, I'm an amatuer with low standards. Go figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Nathan Posted June 9, 2010 Author Share Posted June 9, 2010 the greenstuff wont show up until it gets painted which ive discovered bfore. its the icons off the sponsons of the new baal. im happy with how its came out. and yea i know i havent removed all the flash yet in that pic, think its all gone now but will go over it again shortly. yup trygon spikes were the only thing that looked half decent that i could find in my bits box, though im not entirely satisfied. also went and added extra cabels from the melta to the arm. and thank you!

fivepointedstar Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 i used two bjorn lightning claws i happened to have bought as Bitz along time ago. Only wish they still did it on Gw website. My poor SW venerable had been stripped of his dual LC's and given a mighty Assualt Cannon. But my DC dread's rocking twin LC and look's sweet.

USABOB Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Seeing as Blood Talons are just big Lightning Claws I figured this was the next logical step :pinch: . http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v625/USABOB/40K/40k%20Blood%20Angels/dreadclaws.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
