Captain Engelhardt Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 So, after a lot of building yesterday afternoon and some touch-ups this morning, I proudly present my first Dreadknight aka Knight Titan: Lord Katchar, Hound of Wrath The Dreadknightkit is full of win for modellers and I really enjoyed working with it. I have him in two parts right now so I can stick him together pretty easily. If that proves to be unstable I will simply glue both parts together.

Wicced Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 you got every reason to be proud brother, fantastic work :) although i'm not a fan of the banner on the gun, i know titans sport these too, but i think it's to wide. a slim banner would look better i guess.

Grand Master Tchezzarus Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 You really can be proud! I'm a long DH player, and you just made me want to start an Admech army... even if my so long waited for new codex is just out! Thats say a lot about your work! Any possibility of a step by step? Tchezz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sons of Horus Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 wow! you just managed to turn that horrible kit into something nice :tu: impressive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicMan Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Wow nice work. The banner on the gun looks pretty weird but apart from that, top notch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarKHaZZ13 Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 I may have dreadknights in my army now...just becasue of this... you'll have to do a tutorial for the head if you decide to do another one ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firepower Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Well, that's about as cool as the Dreadknight is ever going to get. Saves me the trouble of taking a stab at it now. :D Simply epic work. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Broker Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Well done. I wouldn't have thought that the DreadKnight was tall enough to make a Titan with one, but you've done it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 40k Hobbiest Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Quite well done. I would like to see some more pictures of the torso area, however. I don't get it. But in my own defence, I woke up less than five minutes ago. ;) Can't wait to see it painted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyaenidae Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Ever since the Dreadknight came out, I've been waiting to see someone do this, very nice sir. Out of curiousity, would you be able to build a tutorial on that chainsword arm for the masses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GooseDaMoose Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Totally agree with people, I really looked forward to seeing it when you announced your army list on The Great Crusade and it looks awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Definitely a work of art. The change to 'Mars' was an excellent touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the Fell Hand Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Excellent. I too am now sold on the DK model. Are you able to remove the terminator inside? Or is he trapped forever? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warsmith Aznable Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Fantastic stuff, though I will echo the above reservations about the banner hanging from the cannon. Really great, though, and I especially love the GS work to convert the word MARS on the shinguard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Engelhardt Posted April 4, 2011 Author Share Posted April 4, 2011 Here's a short how-to. It's pretty simple, and I think the picture is self-explanatory. I used 4 layers of 1mm plasticcard to get the effect. The teeth are simply made by cutting into the middlesection of the chainsword, they're no stand-alone pieces. http://i642.photobucket.com/albums/uu145/bucket_of_bcb/Tut.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamrodMC Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 This is just slightly on the absolutely amazing side of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
