marvmoogy Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Hi all, I'm looking at adding a couple of dreadnoughts to my Deathwing army and I really like the Forgeworld ones! I like the specific DA one, but thought that the Chaplain dread would really fit in. So, if I end up adding him in....should he be painted in the Deathwing bone like everything else, or would he retain the Black armour he would have had when serving as a Chaplain? Cheers all!

Izzuan Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 I saw a variation of this discussed before...(was concerning the chappy dread's pod if I remember right). I think the simple answer is...which looks cooler to you? Rule of Cool > all other considerations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Chaplain Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 I would honestly say that for a chaplain dreadnought in a deathwing army the majority of the chassis should be black- with some bone detailing in there for a visual tie in. The fist for example, could be done in a deathwing bone color, and would probably be your best bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffJedi Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 You'd paint a Terminator Chaplain black, wouldn't you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cactus Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 In my opinion if it's not terminator armour it's not white. There are no white dreadnoughts or land raiders in my Dark Angels and a chaplain dreadnought (which is a cool model and I'd like to get one) would be black.

Interrogator Stobz Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Paint him any colour you want.....as long as it's black Edit; @Cactus: Don't you paint DW VenDreads and DW Raiders Bone? You rebel :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cactus Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Cloud Runner asked that the chapter's terminator suits be left white as a mark of respect. Dreadnoughts and land raiders don't come into it. In my own little world I'm right and it's the recent codexes that are wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marvmoogy Posted March 4, 2013 Author Share Posted March 4, 2013 I think black it shall be.....with a few bone highlights ;-) Now, which to be armed with which? I'm getting the DA Venerable and the Chaplain dreads. I'm getting a PC & DCCW for one and TLLC & ML for the other. Which would you arm which way and why?

Avon Rekaes Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 PC & DCCW on the chapy, no question. Chaplains are melee guys, right? Why would that change in death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Chaplain Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Does that question even really need to be asked? Chaplains lead from the front and sunder their foes in glorious melee combat, why would that change upon internment in a dreadnought? Hell, I'd even say you ought to convert the DCCW into a suitably large crozius like hammer to really put the fear into his enemy. If the cowards run, their folly will be made illuminated in the volcanic fires of his plasma cannon, which burns almost as hot as his seething hate for the enemies of mankind!

marvmoogy Posted March 5, 2013 Author Share Posted March 5, 2013 Thanks guys. Echoing my thoughts, but didn't want to get it wrong :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Immolator Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I have seen dreads with hammers/swords and spears and though the work on itself has been magnificent, its a tad bit ridiculous to consider it. Anyway thats my opinion feel free to ignore it. On the colour go anyway you like it there is nobody that can lecture you on that. Though IMHO that specific model wouldn't look as cool in DW colours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvmoogy Posted September 9, 2013 Author Share Posted September 9, 2013 just thought I'd resurrect this thread with a piccie of my dreadnought-sized crozius.....intimidating enough? :) http://www.flickr.com/photos/99288432@N06/9343993133/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffJedi Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Looks good but here are my suggestions. Rotate the Crozius 90 degrees and tilt the arm a bit more diagonally to mimic the pose of a Chaplain. Bulk up the handle/haft a bit more. it looks a little bit thin. Take a pic with the light in front of the model instead of behind it, all we are seeing is a silhouette. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvmoogy Posted September 10, 2013 Author Share Posted September 10, 2013 Cheers for the C&C. I will have a look at it over the weekend and see what I can do with it. The pose was at 90 degrees just to show the size Oh, and for the silhouette, may have been intentional as it isn't painted yet... :-S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffJedi Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Well the size of the Crozius is perfect and worthy of a Chaplain Dreadnought. Please don't take my suggestions harshly as now I'm trying to figure out how to steal your idea for my army. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Sergeant Bohemond Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 I echo the need for a bulkier handle, other than that love the idea :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
