Looks like you took a sabbatical from 40K about as long as I did!

 

The Chaplain Dreadnought is a sweet kit.

[geektom]

yes, it is-- silly me, I did not know it didn't come with the arms, though :-P

The Storm Brothers say: Why walk when you can ride?

Currently he is pinned together, but will come apart for painting.

[Monodominant]

That's a pretty awesome idea! Dreads on wheels!

If you need another Rapier base for the chaplain I'd be happy to donate one

[The_Chaplain]

An excellent conversion idea for sure geektom; but I think it would help bulk up the model if you used a piece of tubing or other such but to round out and wrap around the current dread hip to rapier chassis joining. Currently, it looks a little spindly.

[BrotherCaptainArkhan]

Ha! That's a really cool idea and a good way to get around the Scars' inherent dislike of internment in ironforms. I echo the sentiment expressed by the good Chaplain about the 'waist' area, but I'm sure you knew that already.

[Olis]

I think the only critique I have for now is that central waist-column, as it looks a bit ungainly atm. Is there any way to bulk it up a bit? There's loads of space to use there and I think the gasp (as much as the coloumn) bothers me.

I agree! I have plans for tubing and maybe a couple more bitz to help with that.

Yes, I agree on all counts. Tonight was all about the basic layout, so I will keep working on the waist. Great feedback, everyone. Thanks so much.

That would be amazing! Thank you!

I've just noticed I wrote 'gasp' and not 'gap'. How the hell and errant 's' got in there, I don't know. :rolleyes:

Send us a PM and I'll post it next week

Still need to add tubes/cables, but here is the improved waist:

Triple tramp stamps!

 

I like him alot! Would be cool with a lengthened cc arm, but that might screw too much with the proportions i guess.

[Disruptor_fe404]

Triple tramp stamps!

Damn it, man! I cannot un-see them now.

 

I really like the treads replacing legs for a Scars Successor, but I feel like the waist is still a little spindly. Unfortunately, I don't have any real suggestions for bulking it out further. Sorry to be the guy who criticises without being constructive. :(

It's all good! I am not sure what to do about it, either-- I mean, at this point the waist is thicker than if it was on the legs.

 

I think the cables/tubes will help flesh it out, too.

 

Open to anything you can think of!

[Disruptor_fe404]

Maybe the proportions have something to do with it? What if you built some cowling onto the top part of the treads and then use that to 'bulk' up the column by building it into the cowling?
