Brother Martemis Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 One of my colleagues at work challenged me to do a loyalist space marine force using the chaos codex. And I wanna make a defiler, I have a dreadknight kit; loving the concept of the irony... But now I need to work out where to put the battle cannon? Any ideas? I think it'd be too big to rest on an arm (besides thats where the other weapons are going) but would it look good as a chest cannon, energy based? Or shoulder cannon (like a mahoosive bazooka) Ideas? Suggestions? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/255519-dreadknight-to-defiler/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhg033 Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 you could take a look at some of the setups for the mechs from the mechwarrior games if you want to go shoulder mounted - there was one though i cant remember for the life of me that was built around having a cannon coming out of its shoulder or... how about having it as a two handed gun for the dreadknight?

Spiny Norman Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 I'm planning on doing this too, to make a mini Knight Titan or something. My plan was to convert the arm-mounted heavy psycannon into the battle cannon, then use the gatling psylencer as the reaper autocannons. Not sure yet about the flamer/havoc launcher, but I've seen one with a havoc attached to the top of the model that looked good...

I believe you may be thinking of the "Hunchback" (medium mech with a AC/20 gun in the shoulder) that's been around since Battletech's been around, tho' I can't recall off hand if it's one of the Unseen or not. Along those lines, you can look at the various gaint robot based animes out there like Gundam.

It isn't. I don't remember it's arms being so small though. Shoulder-mounted for the win, by the way. EDIT: A Hollander might work as well.

Sception Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 I would have it holding the battle cannon two handed, slung low - the way chaos marine heavy weapon troopers hold an autocannon. Then mount the other, smaller weapons over the mech's shoulders.

Brother Martemis Posted July 6, 2012 Author Share Posted July 6, 2012 pics or it didn't happen... Fair enough. Haha Patience or it won't :D Think I'm gonna end up doing more than one now though, and how big is the dreadknight? Only made the legs so far and it towers over everything!
