Warsmith Aznable Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 The world was pissing me off tonight, so I channeled that into making my second Chaos Dreadnought. His name is Forn Galgatyr, which means "Old God of the Gallows" (or near enough), and I crafted his extra CCW with some plastic tubing, cut up kit parts and treasures from the bits box. http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j91/montismo/dreadview-facing.jpg http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j91/montismo/dreadview-front.jpg http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j91/montismo/dreadview-oblique.jpg http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j91/montismo/ccwdetail.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Blank Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 I like the concept and most of the model but if possible, I'd give him a bigger axe and take the Crux Terminatus off the end of the right arm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warsmith Aznable Posted September 17, 2010 Author Share Posted September 17, 2010 Yeah, I was kind of iffy about the cross thing, but I needed to fill the hole and it was the right size (didn't want to get out an GS, either). And I was angry and just building something. I'll probably go back and find a regular skull/something else to stick there. As far as the axe, I didn't want to scratch build one. Still don't, actually. On my other Dreadnought I've got two chainaxes I've turned into a one double-headed chainaxe, so I might stick another chain-axe onto the other side of that tube to see if it makes me any happier.

Dan The Deamon Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Man that is wild. I agree about that one weapon, it doesn't live up to the rest. I love that head in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warsmith Aznable Posted September 17, 2010 Author Share Posted September 17, 2010 Pulled off the offending bits and made a mock-up for a scratch-built to gauge size. Is this big enough do you think? http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j91/montismo/dreadview2-front.jpg http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j91/montismo/dreadview2-side.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haunter! Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Now that's looking a bit more appropriate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuNCHBiZZLe Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 something about the second CCW just doesn't seam right to me, but I can't tell, it's not that you used a shooty arm as the base thats been done a bunch...I just don't know.

Sgt. Blank Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 "You call that an axe? This is an axe" I like the new one a lot and look forward to seeing the model finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warsmith Aznable Posted September 19, 2010 Author Share Posted September 19, 2010 Worked up the new Big Ass Chain Axe for him. It's the first time I've done anything with plasticard like this, but I'm also planning to make something like this for two or my Defilers. One of those is going to have big chain axe hands like this guy, and the other one is going to have big buzz saw hands... http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j91/montismo/newdccw-003.jpg http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j91/montismo/newdccw-002.jpg http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j91/montismo/newdccw-001.jpg I'm not sure if there should be some further adornment, like a spike or something on the top or back.

elohimalpha Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Yeah, I think a big jagged spike on the back would help balance it out, and would give you a handy place to still your freshest skulls (for the Skull Throne, natch). Looks like you'll have some nice territory to GS some details in too; can't wait to see what you come up with. Nice work so far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
