Reclusiarch Darius Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 With regards to the Dreadknight, I think once people get the model in their hands, you'll see conversions and guides on how to do so crop up. It happened with Wraithlords (google it, it's an awesome Iyanden Wraithlord kneeling like a sniper with a bright lance), and they're completely static in their posing.

Mazer Rackham Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 IMHO. DreadKnight - horrible. For the record, I still hate the Storm Raven too. The models look similar to the old metals - this is good, they'll fill in the gaps in my lines nicely - although those storm bolters are coming off, they look rather silly. I think my plastic GK's will do that retro holding them by the pistol grip thing. MR.

Posted about the collective cringe and eyebrow-raising that this codex has created, with credit where credit is due. Yes, that means you folks. :) Agree on most points. Disagree with the SR and the DK. I think conversions fix most of the inherent problems with both. If you look over in the WIP forum there's a slew of threads with SR's that have been modified to look absolutely stunning. (My own among them :wallbash: ). And I think the DK will really shine in the hands of good converters. Its static punch me in the chest pose is ridiculous, and I think that hurts the presentation of the model. Give people a week or two after release to get some more dynamic stuff going on there and I think you'll be suitably impressed. I think in some instances it'll be a simple matter of just cutting along the knee joint, then repositioning. Plus I want to get an extra one to go hand to hand with a daemon prince as a centerpiece. Especially after seeing that Night Lord on the tuesday What's New Today.

Vindicatus Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Going to agree with you there, but a lot of people that I game with have absolutely no knowledge of plasticard surgery, or gumption enough to want to go hacking a model to pieces in order to try to fit it together again and make it epic. That's why they pay me to do it. :wallbash: Just off of what was presented and how it looks by itself, without conversion, it's a little 'meh' worthy.

Inache Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Very true. I shudder when they show the regular SR in pics now. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/224357-new-models-revealed/page/3/#findComment-2684431 Share on other sites More sharing options...
gil galed Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Very true. I shudder when they show the regular SR in pics now. I entirely agree, when I saw it again on the GW website I had almost forgotten what the unconverted one looks like... which is why I've been using Valkyries as SR for ages. In regards to DK's a very much look forward to hacking them up with a knife and making them look pretty, although in contrast to alot of people I really quite like the power loader look. ~Gil :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/224357-new-models-revealed/page/3/#findComment-2684486 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_son_of_Dorn Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 all that machine killing power and the dick using the dreaknight still wears no helmet.........bought down by one bolter round to the head *sign* and i like the idea of the dreadknight tho being used in all sm chapters, (meaning that you dont have to be crippled to qualify in the use of a dreadnought) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/224357-new-models-revealed/page/3/#findComment-2684510 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drahazar Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 I am going to buy the Custom Gouff Model from Gundam you know the one with the Big sword and Heavy Gatling gun that was part of the Zeon empire. That would make a better Dread Knight and I’ll use it as such.

Gentlemanloser Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Lovely Mini! Will be bought. Rubbish SC, most liekly won't be using his rules. Unless I decide that Purifiers are so much better than Strike Squads (4 Psycannons cheaper than you can ge them anywhere else, 2 attacks with I6 halbards, Cleansing Flame...), and ditch my current Mordrak+Libby summoning design for Purifier Spam. /sigh If only he wasn't so :) rubbish.

Oiad Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 A character that keeps his helmet on. Many players out there will be happy for a change. Nice detail but otherwise the torso is kinda what I expected. Not even sure where he's power-walking off to... ...so yeah as people keep saying he's not an IC. Can we move on now? Is there anything about him that has changed? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/224357-new-models-revealed/page/3/#findComment-2684643 Share on other sites More sharing options...
boreas Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Man, I hope they do a step-by-step painting tutorial for the GK. I just love how they did the NMM/metallic blend (like on Crowe's left forearm).

I'm not a fan.... will probably get one though as I haven't figured out a simple GW line conversion. Only thought is to try and hairy up an IG model.

Terminatorinhell Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 I pre-ordered the DK, I will probably convert it up a bit (though I am afraid to mess with the legs to repose them) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/224357-new-models-revealed/page/3/#findComment-2684931 Share on other sites More sharing options...
