I just finished a rifleman dreadnought for my Flesh tearers.

I wanted to make this at bit more exaggerated then my normal models. Or rather, I wanted to make it realistic in an aspect that is rather overlooked in 40K. While weapons in 40K tend to be gigantic, the usually have quite normal-sized magazines or ammo containers. So I wanted to build a rifleman that looked like it could actually shoot rapid firing weapons for a long time. So I gave each arm a large ammo container and used quite long gun barrels to give it a bit more balance. The first arm (the right one) is made from an assault cannon arm and the quad gun from an aegis defence line, with plasticard for the ammo container and a few spare bitz. The left arm is made from a missile launcher arm to look like the right arm. It took quite som modelling to get them nearly identical.

It might be a bit over the top, but I think it still works, so I'm happy with it.

What do you think?

Thank you!

 

@rusty1109: Yes, the arms still attach like regular arms. I'll probably build other weapon options for him in the future.

 

@teku: So far he has performed really well. Great against rhinos and pretty good against dreadnoughts.
