Dread Knight Proxy

Recommended Posts

I just found this online and thought I would share it. It's non GW but it sure could fill the role of a Dreadknight for those that didn't care for the GW version.

Their obvious "Inquisition Compatible" shields and banners are pretty slick too.

I dunno... kinda looks like a not-so-great attempt to rip off both the Dreadknight and the paladin Judgment tier 2 armor set from WoW.

 

So there's supposed to be a man in there? In that tiny little chest? It either needs to be a SUIT, like the Dreadknight, or have a cockpit. This is neither. This is a guy in an iron lung with arms and legs.

I just can't bring myself to like it... Those huge blocky arms remind me more of a big Jokaero Orangutang robot. And the timy Jesus head just like that fanart... Nah

You have no idea how right you are. (pics are clearly not mine, but I do own this toy, I'm too lazy to take it out and photograph it :X silly note: I've proxied a Titan with it before, its conveniently blue and red, like my Space Marines....)

Agreed. I don't like the GW one much, but this one makes me want to burn down an orphanage.

Doesn't look so gawdy in grey.

I think the braziers onthe shoulers is fitting. The pilot could be wearing the entire suit rather than beingin his own PA and attached as an augment. I agree that this could be a fitting replacement for those that dispize the GW version, though it wouldn't be tounament legal for those that wish to do that.

i received mine yesterday (pretty fast shipping to germany from Poland)...ok first i dropped the head (exchanged it with a leftover Apothecary Termi Head) because i dont want a bearded Jesus driving this monstrosity...then i added two Vision slit parts glued together from the leftofer parts of my Venerable Dread because the Gatling didnt have some eject ports for whatever she ejects...and the back of the cannon is plain with no details...it will not look bad when painted...and last thing...i dropped the Iron Halo because its just to much screams Emperor to me...overall then this one looked good.

 

And by the way the Jesus FAce on the painted Version is just painted on also all Details on shields you see so no probs with using this beast as an Grey Knight Dread Knight...damn it looks impressive...if he didnt sold out or getting lawsuited i will buy another one and convert it with leftover weapons from my Dread....

Astartes-bots, transform and ROLL OUT! :wub:

 

But Optimus Primarch, how will we defeat the Hereticons? :P

 

On topic - I'm sorry it's still better than the GW one, from the sounds of it Shorty, looks like you put a few nice touches on it to finish it off..!
