perochialjoe Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 I wanted to add a dreadnought to my Flesh Tearers army but hate how the Black Reach dreadnoughts look, even though that is all I have. So, with some plasticard and a predator tank cannon, I converted it into a Venerable Dreadnought A side by side of a completed Black Reach dreadnought and my conversion http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/3191/1003217u.jpg Different angles http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/7467/1003220kk.jpg http://img607.imageshack.us/img607/139/1003219.jpg http://img848.imageshack.us/img848/992/1003218.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hushrong Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 It's off to a good start. I would definitely recommend working around the edges of the plasticard and where the head is tucked into. What does the pred cannon act as? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perochialjoe Posted May 2, 2011 Author Share Posted May 2, 2011 It is acting as an autocannon. I'm going to smooth out the edges of everything before I prime it, add some more heraldry and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidKits Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 heheheh reminds me of one of my twin linked auto gun i gave my dreadie, used 2 pred cannons on a las cannon arm. i would advise if you could to get a second cannon and try to line em up. its hard i know. but once you get them both in, use the Imperial Aquila plastic piece from the rhino/pred kit get 2 if you can and put them about midway up the barrel on both sides it acts as a brace to hold the 2 cannons together and give an added touch to him being a vene. its the same thing i did on mine :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicMan Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Do you have any of the front plates from a Terminator Torso? Theres a much nicer way to make the AoBR Venerable.

perochialjoe Posted May 2, 2011 Author Share Posted May 2, 2011 I'll try that out and do a bit more conversion work on the rest of the model, I'll upload what it turns up as. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perochialjoe Posted May 3, 2011 Author Share Posted May 3, 2011 Took your advice, turned out a lot better. I also further modified the autocannon. http://img641.imageshack.us/img641/8922/1003221h.jpg http://img820.imageshack.us/img820/559/1003222p.jpg http://img541.imageshack.us/img541/8919/1003223.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cathar the great Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 I still get a little rush of "I made something on the internets" - pride whenever someone else links to one of my tutorials XD The new sarcophagus looks a lot better now. I also like the bit you used on the close combat weapon as extra armor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicMan Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Its a great tutorial. :P Having another look at your dread, Joe, have you tried using a normal marine head? The way the termie head sits in there makes him look as though hes star-gazing a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eberious Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Looking good, goo work of the terminator parts. Have to ask, what's with the predator turret gun plate thingy?, no offence. Just looks a bit random? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perochialjoe Posted May 4, 2011 Author Share Posted May 4, 2011 Extra armor, I've adjusted the positioning a bit and sized it down. Going to post a picture of it in a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
