dynamicspartan Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Brothers, I was wondering if anyone has a link to a pic or an article about the Ravenwing dreadnought that was on GW's website a few years ago. I alwasy thought it was sexy and would like to make my own of it. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Rage Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Now you mention it I was checking the GW site for that article as well, if I remember rightly it was about Dark Angels venerable conversions, everytime I search it I get redirected to the home page, my guess is that GW deleted the article which is a shame I really like that conversion. Maybe they thought that ravenwing probably wouldnt have dreadnoughts and decided it wasnt a good article to have, however I think ravenwing should be able to take them. Will try and search for the pics, gotta be someone who got hold of them and has them out on the web. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
march10k Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 ~shrug~ How hard can it be? It's just a paint scheme and some freehand icons, right? I mean, I've never seen the GW article in question, and I have a RW dreddy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alys Dwr Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 IIRC, a few years ago GW overhauled their website and most of the articles were taken down. It might be lost in the warp now, but fingers crossed somebody will have saved it and can get back to you. Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Rage Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 The GW site still has the pictures on their server but I couldnt get a painted finished image, here are some links to wip shots hope the links work ok.

Brother dean Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 That one or the one that had ork warbike traks as legs and feet? I've always thought that the Tempest would make a good (fluffy) RW dread, just replace the vision slit panel with a dread sarcoughagus cover: http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Warhammer-4000...ER-TEMPEST.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EPK Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 That one or the one that had ork warbike traks as legs and feet? I've always thought that the Tempest would make a good (fluffy) RW dread, just replace the vision slit panel with a dread sarcoughagus cover: http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Warhammer-4000...ER-TEMPEST.html Now that would certainly be unique for the RW in a new codex. Of course there is no precedence, but it could be explained as a more modern adaptation forced by certain battlefield criteria. Probably too much of a leap though.

dynamicspartan Posted March 1, 2012 Author Share Posted March 1, 2012 I thank you for the WIP pics brother Dark Rage. I wish GW hadn't taken down almost all of their articles. SUcks as most of them were really cool. The one about the RW dread is no exception. The reason I was asking for the pics is because I wanted to sort of, remake it. I would love to get my hands on some painted pics, but I will humbly take what I can get. I need some help with one more thing though. In the parts shown there are a few pieces where the origins are unknown. The parts are circled in red and I want to know what kits they come from. http://i567.photobucket.com/albums/ss115/d...noughtparts.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDarkAngelLion Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Hi, im pretty new to wh40k, started playing a year ago so... WE HAD A CHAPTER SPECIFIC DREAD ?!?! I HATE GW NOW, PLEASE LET ME KILL THEM :) :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grotsmasha Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 The two larger pieces appear to be fins from Sammael's jetbike, the smaller ones look like the "thumbs" from that metal Ven kit @TheDarkAngelLion: Nope, just someones themed conversion, fluffwise I'm not sure the Ravenwing even have dreads. Cheers, Jono Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Master Belial Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Ravenwing did have dreads listed in the chapter organization chart in the past. But there was never a dedicated model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Kovash Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Ravenwing dreadnought, I like this idea. I'll definitely build one once I get moving on building my Ravenwing force. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angel of fire Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 I'm not sure if any1s noticed but the conversion guide got deleted for characters as well.

Komodo Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 http://img816.imageshack.us/img816/505/dreadravenwinglowres.jpg Posted it in Showcase topic. Have another Space Crusade dreadnought (smaller one) waiting to be another one ravenwing dread. Love this particular design, it looks lightweight and fast, not like general 'bulky' dread looks.

Gw over the past 3 months have been systematically deleting everything dark angel the classic sign we're getting a redo It is not just the DA articles they have been deleting. They have also deleted almost all of the SM and CSM articles. I do not know what other armies have had their articles removed, but there are almost none left.

pueriexdeus Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 I don't think deleting material from the GW web-site means anything. They have always deleted/moved material, this is no different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValourousHeart Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 This is what I thought a Ravenwing Dread would look like. When armed with an assault cannon it can also count as a tempest. I just figured that since Ravenwing Troopers live and die in the saddle... When one becomes a dreadnought, he probably wouldn't be contented to walk into battle.

I just figured that since Ravenwing Troopers live and die in the saddle... When one becomes a dreadnought, he probably wouldn't be contented to walk into battle. I have thought the same thing... I have been debating using a Tracked or Wheeled carriage in place of legs. I also have been thinking making a Landspeeder version would also be interesting. Where is that tracked base from?

ValourousHeart Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 That would be the tracks from a thunder fire cannon. I clipped the middle pegs so that I could turn the tracks to face the other way. I have the large circle on the base towards the front (it is at the back for the TFC). I also sawed the c shaped things off to make the new front more clean. One thing to be aware of is that the standard DCCW for a basic dread is small for this build. It doesn't reach past the front tracks... That is why I used the iron clad arms.
