KrautScientist Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Yes, that new base is a much better start! And what else would you use but a Dreadnought trampled into the mud? Nothing says total bad-ass quite like this, don't you think? Since I went a very similar route for my own Wargrinder model, here's a couple of ideas that might help: http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2013/9/6/534844-Chaos%2C%20Chaos%20Space%20Marines%2C%20Conversion%2C%20Counts%20As%2C%20Daemon%20Engine%2C%20Decimator.JPG http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2013/9/6/534845-Chaos%2C%20Chaos%20Space%20Marines%2C%20Conversion%2C%20Counts%20As%2C%20Daemon%20Engine%2C%20Decimator.JPG As you see, you can use sand or chaffed cork to make parts of the Dread look half buried. If you have an old computer or something similar, the small cables connecting different parts (the ventilator, for example) make pretty cool cables for your destroyed dread as well: cut them apart and have them appear from the dread's broken chassis. As Biohazard's bases above show, basically everything can become an element for basing: The important thing is to mix different sizes and textures. Check out the FTW basing tutorials here as well, as they might be really helpful! Oh, you might want to hang on to that frag cannon arm, though: It makes for a pretty cool base for a reaper autocannon, if you ask me. Anyway, great to see you're putting in a little extra effort to make this piece truly shine! And I'm glad that you're putting up with our nitpicking! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skrundle87 Posted January 12, 2014 Author Share Posted January 12, 2014 Thanks for the tips, I've already begin to bury it with rubble and sand but I do like the idea for the cables, I'll see if I can get a hold of something, to late for the arm though I've already smashed it up whoops haha. Hopefully make some good progress on the base tonight. Hope you don't mind that I borrowed the idea krautscientist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skrundle87 Posted January 13, 2014 Author Share Posted January 13, 2014 I figured I would condense it down now that I may be tackling a few conversions at a time now. A few of you may have seen my chaos dreadknight/defiler http://i1005.photobucket.com/albums/af171/skrundle87/Mobile%20Uploads/IMAG0304_zpsnuglrfdm.jpg I've decided that now he is the beginning of a nee legion of mine, so my next two projects are these A dreadnought I hope to convert into a daemon Prince. Here's an extremely early work in progress http://i1005.photobucket.com/albums/af171/skrundle87/Mobile%20Uploads/IMAG0294_zpsq1znduhj.jpg And lastly for now a terminator Lord, I'm going to need to pick up some bitz for this guy, bot sure what yet, once again very early work in progress http://i1005.photobucket.com/albums/af171/skrundle87/Mobile%20Uploads/IMAG0306_zpsr8j4d47w.jpg Thanks for reading, I hope you enjoy what's to come Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El-Diablo Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Very clever use of the Vilitch shoulder pad. Been looking at him myself recently, more for the sword than anything else but there are some choice parts there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beachymike123 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 looking great skrundle, love the finished daemon-dreadknight, very good use of colours and parts. looking forward to what you will be coming up with next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skrundle87 Posted January 13, 2014 Author Share Posted January 13, 2014 @ midian, I had bought him for the sword to use on a different model but have since always wanted to utilise the shoulder @ leinmAnn thanks a lot, me too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skrundle87 Posted January 14, 2014 Author Share Posted January 14, 2014 I had started losing faith in the princenought already however now that I've slapped the arms on I'm getting excited about it again, still all just blu-taked on so all uneven and junk bit I think it's becoming promising http://i1005.photobucket.com/albums/af171/skrundle87/Mobile%20Uploads/IMAG0308_zpsrzmrjhmu.jpg http://i1005.photobucket.com/albums/af171/skrundle87/Mobile%20Uploads/IMAG0309_zpsayesz8v2.jpg http://i1005.photobucket.com/albums/af171/skrundle87/Mobile%20Uploads/IMAG0307_zpshndvyws6.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skrundle87 Posted January 14, 2014 Author Share Posted January 14, 2014 And some more on the termi, unsure on the head I think I want More Open face than this, and unsure on the chest addition and the gunfist, easier to say I'm unsure on everything lol, the staff spear thing will be mire chaotic and to scale, this is just an idea http://i1005.photobucket.com/albums/af171/skrundle87/Mobile%20Uploads/IMAG0312_zpsr0fzymm4.jpg http://i1005.photobucket.com/albums/af171/skrundle87/Mobile%20Uploads/IMAG0310_zpsfzk8rpv9.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElDuderino Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I'd cut down the head a bit to move it back into the armor. That shoulder pad looks great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skrundle87 Posted January 14, 2014 Author Share Posted January 14, 2014 Yeah that's why I think I need a new head if I sink it in more it hits its horns above, cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skrundle87 Posted January 15, 2014 Author Share Posted January 15, 2014 The princenought all scratch built, now time for proper cutting and molding etc http://i1005.photobucket.com/albums/af171/skrundle87/Mobile%20Uploads/IMAG0322_zpsdzop7vov.jpg Thoughts ?
