spu00sed Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 I have never liked the baby carrier of the Dreadknight, though I do like the images of it in the codex. I also wanted to change the warp jump generator into a jet pack. The storm talon allowed me to do both. I still need to clean up the gaps, finish the pilot and possible turn the sword into a spear. However I still give you the Dread Talon (or possible Storm knight) http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b337/Sdimbylow/Emperors%20Lions/Dreadknight5.jpg http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b337/Sdimbylow/Emperors%20Lions/Dreadknight1.jpg http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b337/Sdimbylow/Emperors%20Lions/Dreadknight2.jpg http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b337/Sdimbylow/Emperors%20Lions/Dreadknight3.jpg http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b337/Sdimbylow/Emperors%20Lions/Dreadknight4.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Hawk Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Omg YES. It's amazing to see how well the two kits go together, and I look forward to PiP shots. Sent from my battle-barge using an astropath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

War Angel Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Have I been missing something? Where are all these new things coming from? Really awesome stuff though, will you be making more of them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Very nice. Jump mechs sound pretty damned cool. Stick him in an assault infantry based army and the theme would totally work. Love the conversion, the parts fit pretty well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redscorps Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Freaking awesome!! This is the second one of those I have seen now, the other guy had more of a warhound titan look to it with the body down low and forward and the legs mounted into the jets. So cool man, visionary!

subtlebrush Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 By the Emperor.... Love this idea! It works so well its ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kierdale Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Yes! As soon as I saw the Talon I thought it would be useful for making something like a Knight. Great stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pariah Mk.231 Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Give your Interceptor squads jump packs instead of teleporters and that bad boy would fit in nicely, just say they're "flying high" if you use the 30" move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veteran Sergeant Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 It's very Exo Squad looking, lol. The good news is, I loved that show. And I hate the Dreadknight model, so this is certainly an improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Juan Juarez Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Storm Knight is the better name of the two, but neither is great in my opinion. Also, cracking looking model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spu00sed Posted June 4, 2012 Author Share Posted June 4, 2012 Thanks for all the positive replies Though I would like to point out that he is big boned, not fat. ;) Been filling in gaps today, I love liquid greenstuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spu00sed Posted June 6, 2012 Author Share Posted June 6, 2012 Got most of the paint done. Just need to layer up the gold and add blue to the jets. Then onto the canopy and the base http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b337/Sdimbylow/Emperors%20Lions/Dreadknight6.jpg http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b337/Sdimbylow/Emperors%20Lions/Dreadknight7.jpg http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b337/Sdimbylow/Emperors%20Lions/Dreadknight8.jpg http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b337/Sdimbylow/Emperors%20Lions/Dreadknight9.jpg http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b337/Sdimbylow/Emperors%20Lions/Dreadknight10.jpg http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b337/Sdimbylow/Emperors%20Lions/Dreadknight11.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew J Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 That would look great even without the massive jump pack. Great work! Keep it up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watcher in the Dark Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 It's very Exo Squad looking, lol. The good news is, I loved that show. And I hate the Dreadknight model, so this is certainly an improvement. Aye...Looks very reminiscent of J.T. Marsh's E-frame. I LOVED that show. If you go back and watch it, it's got rather mature themes that when I was 12 or 13 I would never have picked up on, even if the visuals aren't quite as cool as I remember.

Captain Semper Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Any progerss with your fantastic Dreadknight spu00sed? The deadline is coming in two weeks - I'd love to see this baby done before then - you are too close to victory, don't let it slip through your hands! If you do complete it (which I'm sure you will) the completion rate for the Ordos will rise to above 82% - the highest completion rate in the ETL by far! Good luck mate! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
