vezok the annihilator Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 i'd say go ahead, it wouldnt be to hard and would turn out great, i was thinking of doing the same thing for my character dred(see my blog for more details) but then i saw the forge world ironclad and turned to that as it is perfect for iron warriors. so go ahead CORRUPT IT BEYOND RECOGNITION!!!

bjørn eirik Posted January 19, 2011 Author Share Posted January 19, 2011 a renegade chapter, wich I call Iron Mongers (hereby officially calling dibs on that name)! I'll make a pic of their colour scheme on them pretty soon. they're renegade Iron hands wich were corrupted fighting iron warriors, worshipping chaos as undivided, and rather different aspects on it as a whole instead of khorne etc. will have one squad for each though, so 5 total. have one terminator squad, 2 daemon princes, one terminator lord, one defiler I'm converting, 4 squads in pip and wip, and a few special chars I might paint up as them as well. just saw the new furioso dread, maybe mix them with the venerable one for clawyness ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/220015-true-corruption-venerable-dreadnought-into-chaos-dread/#findComment-2625319 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotrod Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 That's what I did for my first Chaos Dreadnought for my World Eater's army. (the second one is a converted Ironclad ;)) It's so cool to see a venerable Dreadnought with spikes, skulls chains and a nice chaos helmet with horns on it instead of the regular helmet ^_^ Of course, if you want to change the helmet for one that has horns on it, you'll need to do a bit of hacking, but believe me, it sure is worth it :o Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/220015-true-corruption-venerable-dreadnought-into-chaos-dread/#findComment-2625340 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjørn eirik Posted January 19, 2011 Author Share Posted January 19, 2011 here's how i'm painting them picture that as chaos marines instead :P they paint their hands iron in mocking of ferrus manus. will maybe use iron warriors transfers on their shoulder pads.

khairney Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 the iron mongers? i can see it now "the iron mongers are coming! lock up your wives, they will sell hand fashioned iron peices at competitave prices!" its a bit like having a renegade chapter called the "the bespoke iron workers". maybe even the "high street independent iron smiths" beware! they will deliver traditionally fashioned ironwork to your door, aswell as heresy and slaughter!

bjørn eirik Posted January 20, 2011 Author Share Posted January 20, 2011 hah, I guess you may have a point, but they will make all iron (or really dead hard) to root out weakness, in true iron-hands-we-hate-weakness-style.

xscottfergox Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 *West Country accent* 'We be the iron mongers, for me are iron within iron without' Haha i wna see how these turn out, but interesting concept Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/220015-true-corruption-venerable-dreadnought-into-chaos-dread/#findComment-2625941 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjørn eirik Posted January 20, 2011 Author Share Posted January 20, 2011 as soon as I get a decent camera, I'll start posting pics and stuff, so I can finally stop being the one that just comments ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/220015-true-corruption-venerable-dreadnought-into-chaos-dread/#findComment-2625963 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitchen Knife Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Are you converting it in an "all spikey, chains and skulls"-way or more possessed and demonic (maybe like the Nurgle-Dreadnought from FW) ?

bjørn eirik Posted January 20, 2011 Author Share Posted January 20, 2011 I have barely started considering the conversion, this is more of a "any ideas?" thread, but I'm thinking of maybe chains, spikes and stuff. my GS skills are lacking, so not much in that department. I do have bitz from the daemon price set though, so mayb something from there.

Kitchen Knife Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Some ideas: - You could use one of big-clawed arms of the Dp as a CCW -The DP set has to big pauldrons and two smaller war plates. Maybe the smaller ones might fit on the legs of the dread. - The DP set also has some loincloths you can put on the sarcophagus like some sort of pennant or on the legs - Once I have seen a conversion, where the dread had some sort of halo made out of spikes/spears. Could also be nice - You can also take some skulls, cut the back of the cranium of and glue the front of the skull on the sarcophagus, or the arms. - A small chain wrapped around one dread "arm" (like the Black Templars, but only way cooler :) ) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/220015-true-corruption-venerable-dreadnought-into-chaos-dread/#findComment-2626046 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjørn eirik Posted January 20, 2011 Author Share Posted January 20, 2011 although all your ideas are brilliant, I've already used most of those bitz. I like my DPs with large hands :) might try out that halo though, and there will be a few skulls here and there. the DP left arm (the "weedy" one) might find a place on it, with chains if i can find some cheap ones.
