Rik Riorik Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 As long as you can get over the whole "Momma Dreadnought with baby harness"-issue, can rework the boredom of the static pose then mayhap you can wrangle something out of it. Whilst that is the way I feel about the Dreadknight model, I am sure an accomplished modeller with a good concept could use it as a base and turn it into something wonderful :blink:.

Warsmith Aznable Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Oh. My. God. :rolleyes: Â I have to have one of those... Â I think with the Daemon Prince plastic kit and one of these and some GS you could do a really crazy Iron Warrior HQ. Â But... it's a man in a suit that is also wearing a suit, which is kind of strange if you think about it too long... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talon Darkshade Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I to had the same logical thought of "Hey Iron Warriors DP" but I would be curious to see the kit before making any set plans. I have to imagine the guy in the harnass is one piece which means it will take a considerable amount of G-Stuff to chaos-iffy him up. Doesn't look like a easy bitz swap sadly. then all the scripture engraved in the legs, maybe some G-Stuffing chaos arros around/over those. that or drill/g-stuff it to appear warped and twisted. Â All in all. Dude go for it! And post pics of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rik Riorik Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Pics off sprues are there if you scroll on the enlargeable pics. The Dude-baby isn't one piece but its hard to get a feel for hhow he fits in there. At least the legs are standalone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitefireinferno Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 One problem though is this thing Is Huge its on the Oval baseand stands WELL taller than a Landraider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warsmith Aznable Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 One problem though is this thing Is Huge its on the Oval baseand stands WELL taller than a Landraider.  Does this look like a correct scale comparison? I eyeballed it based on the Berserker figure and the oval base:  http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j91/montismo/dreadknightsizecomparison.jpg  EDIT: Another comparison in a zeroed in picture from the website:  http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j91/montismo/dreadknightandlr-1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Nathan Posted March 9, 2011 Author Share Posted March 9, 2011 seems fine to me. also base wise, well gws standing is you use the base suplied, dosent mention what happens if you convert from another model with a differently sized base ;) although i think it probably works aginst the princes favour to have an even bigger base...

Madcap Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I think Dreadknight + Daemon Prince bitz + Defiler claws/bitz = a potentially awesome Iron Warriors Daemon Prince conversion. Â Maybe Stormraven wings and thrusters for "wings"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeonic Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Just fill/defile the inquisition script, swap out the termie for our awesome(and totally freaking useless!) termie lord and...BAM, LOOTED UBER DREAD KNIGHT WALKER THINGY OF DEATH, FEAR ME! Or, of course the aforementioned defiler kitbash would work wonders. With an adjusted posture you could well fit it on a standard 60mm base and make it less tall as well(not that that really matters, we may as well hang "shoot me" signs on daemon princes anyways).

Brother Nathan Posted March 9, 2011 Author Share Posted March 9, 2011 exactly. im now pretty much sold on this plan. now to find money to do it... curse you stupid economy and lack of jobs! dont you know how much this hobby costs! lol.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the jeske Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 too tall . would look odd with wings. meh . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurglez Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I was thinking it could work if you have him kneeling down, then he'd be about the same hight as a daemon prince. Take off the guy, add a low slung head and it could look decent... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alys Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 The terminator "baby" is near enough in bits. Back and front torso, legs, head, arms, shoulder pads, and then the "harness" that fits over him. The thing is, it seems like the torso armour is similar to Power Armour? Â Still, I'd say rip him out, stick a dreadnought sarcophagus in there instead, and bingo, DreadKnight Prince Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typical Cricket Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 This is a great idea! I'll have to give it a try as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellios Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 err yer I think without the guy on the front it could be worked into something... Warsmiths to the forges with you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Nathan Posted March 10, 2011 Author Share Posted March 10, 2011 im thinking siply replace him with a chaosmarine but with more chaos armour plates protecting him and gliphs and stuff and lots and lots of wires... and im sure heres plenty of that stuf i could use on my angels...can also trade partsfor the likes of the soul grinder weapons. though i dont like it i may take that thunderhammer and mod it to look like a deamon possesed version. with a soul grinder/deamonprince sword in the other hand, in a low ready stance(marines dont stand to full height anyway so may aswell us my martial art stances) damm now i need the kit to visualise further how to impose the piolets evilnesses... Oh and i aree fully with the iron warriors hating mutations so it will not be mutant like it has the obliterator virus thou tha could be nice looking to... as for wings, mechanical jumppack of someform, or hydrolic jacks in the legs allowing ito jump... dosent worry me... maby raptor feet....hmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warsmith Aznable Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 I guess the lads at GW either heard the outcry for size comparison or anticipated it. From their daily blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khestra the Unbeheld Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 I see the force sword for the Dreadknight is designed to make Eldar Wraithlords feel inadequate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prot Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 I think the premise is a great start! I never even thought of using that thing... BUT....here's what bugs me about that model.... If you were an ork, how on earth could you get hit by that hammer?! It's too short. Â Anyway I think it might be some work, and I don't know how you'd do it, but the potential is definitely there!

hushrong Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 I think it is a neat idea. Would be cool to see how someone would pull it off. Â I am thinking I will use the Dreadknight, with great amounts of defilement, and then construct a walker more deserving of an IW techmarine. Just imagine a son of Perturabo, more machine than man, stretching out his arms as hundreds of mechandrites descend from a giant, behemoths frame and lifts him from the ground and into its armored formed to make war. *i think I could use that as a very interesting dreadnaught or daemon prince.

Typical Cricket Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 I've been thinking about this for a while, and what I think I'm going to do is get out the greenstuff and make it look like the guy on the front is an Obliterator, who has managed to spawn the whole contraption (as well as some other super fun bits and bobs).

Alys Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 If the dreadknight is that tall though, can it actually be used as a Daemon prince, or a dreadnought for that matter? And if so, would you want to, cool ideas aside, it can't hide behind any tank or most terrain either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
