Elric the Silvercoat Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 This would make more sense as a Dreadknight than what they have now. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/233308-a-better-looking-dreadknight/#findComment-2808259 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adir Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Pretty much what I was thinking. I run my DK with two fists and nothing else so the two CC variant would work perfectly.

Something Wycked Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Looks... interesting, and not in a good way. I'm not sure I'd be willing to pay $70+ for something with as little detail as it has. It looks very "steamjack"y to me, and there's a reason I don't play warmahordes.

Adir Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Actually that is basically a rogue trader era dreadnought. They took the essential design cues from that model and made it look much better!

Inquisitor Fox Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 It's got a few perks over a traditional Dread, but I doubt it'll be a major game changer. I'd put money on a Dreadknight versus it any day, at least based off the experimental rules with the wargear we know about :cuss It has a neat look to it, but when there's already oh.. 4 or 5 types of Dreadnought to chose from, what's one more? Least we don't have to worry about it! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/233308-a-better-looking-dreadknight/#findComment-2808651 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warsmith Aznable Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 It's in the curious position of needing to look both more advanced, and older technologically. My first thought when I saw it was that the designer must have been trying to do that, and also looking at the original Dreadnought design with an eye toward making something that could stand with today's models. Looking at it more, the legs look very much along the Japanese "real robot" style, but the torso has the retro WWI era swooping, smooth armor going for it. It's odd looking for that, I think. But as far as using it as a replacement for the Dread Knight, isn't it a little small?

dizzy-xc Posted July 2, 2011 Author Share Posted July 2, 2011 On that note, isnt the Dreadknight a little big? Edit: Be nice if someone could do a size comp of all 3.

boreas Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 I'm definitely getting one as a Venereable dread... As far as having it look like a Warjack... I think the major difference is that it's doesn't look "hunched" like a warjack. The arms are also better proportionned.

I think the major difference is that it's doesn't look "hunched" like a warjack. The arms are also better proportionned. Phil I would also have to say this is an updated RT dread... So if anything Warjacks are based on some of the old 40k and maybe titanicus models...

Something Wycked Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Obviously its an updated RT dread ;) The point is it looks nothing like our current dreads, and this new reimagining of the RT dread looks a lot like Warjacks. And I don't like Warjacks. I like Dreadnoughts.

So who copied who? is the real question. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/233308-a-better-looking-dreadknight/#findComment-2808857 Share on other sites More sharing options...

the jeske Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 I think am missing something where are they simiular . the whole upper body of khador jacks are different . the hip joins are different from the ones jacks use , but are the same on post heresy dreads and very simiular on defilers which accoring to fluff were made by one of the luna wolfs techmarines who was a master at creating dreadnought hulls. the arms and engines are also very simiular to the ones used on post heresy dreads and the fists used for the FW look very much like the ones used on siege dreads and the ironclad. the front sarcofagus is also the same as used in later post heresy venerable dreads[like the chappy or ultramarine ones]. So agian how are they simiular to jacks and too different from other GW/FW , unless you mean that both the khador ones and the dread on the art are both red.

Ekgar_Wolf Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 A better looking DreadKnight is simply a re-positioned one.

This was the first thing i thought of as well; I'm guessing the new FW pre-Heresy Dread isnt big enough to be a Dreadknight.
