kleftiko Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 So I wanna start a Blood angels Army!! and I wanna get loads of Dreadnoughts! but mainly Furioso librarians! only problem is I don't really like the look of the standard force weapon that comes in the box... I want to convert something that looks a lot cooler... I like the look of the axe on the new space wolf dreadnought, or maybe something like a long sword! either way I wanted to ask you guys if you have any interesting ideas of what bits I can use to create a dreadnought force weapon, or maybe there is a third party conversion site with good Dreadnought parts? either way I would like to see if anyone has done something similar and created their own dreadnought force weapons!please share your wisdoms!thanks guys :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Ideally you want an axe but I've seen conversions using the Dreadknight kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knife&fork Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Forgworld has an axe/prison shank dreadnought arm if you like something less bulky. http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Warhammer-40000/Grey-Knights/GREY_KNIGHT_DREADNOUGHT_CLOSE_COMBAT_ARM.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kleftiko Posted August 26, 2014 Author Share Posted August 26, 2014 Ideally you want an axe but I've seen conversions using the Dreadknight kit. Yeah this is at the moment my top choice! using the Dreadknight hammer... I want just something that looks bigger and a lot more dangerous then what is in the kit, the thing in the kit looks like a little dreadnought dagger... I know its more of a spear but its looks a bit off to me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Ok, dreads just ignore 'unwildy' right? They have nothing like Smash that would let them attack at AP2 without a weapon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaezus Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Really never been sure about the furioso libby. Sometimes ran one in 6th when we had wings but now...what's the advantage of one over a HQ lib? Can see a possible niche for them in a pod list, but otherwise a foot libby gets a lot more protection from attaching to a unit than a furioso does from AV 13 12 10. Just pondering.

He kills most monstrous creatures like nothing else. S7-8 AP2 force weapon striking at I4 and the new smash rules makes him extremely nasty. He makes tyranid players cry. What you really need to watch out for is HoW, so get that charge. Pod or raven. Much easier to get off a single WC and active force than getting a bunch of biomancy powers off for a normal psyker that wishes to clash with MCs. EDIT: Forgot the WS6, it really helps.

Venemox Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I've seen a venerable dread wielding what I think was a Warhammer fantasy Minotaur axe in it's fist hand as a Force Weapon. Also one wield a Daemon prince's axe as a'trophy' weapon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kleftiko Posted August 27, 2014 Author Share Posted August 27, 2014 good idea I didnt think about looking into any fantasy stuff! I will check through those! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Mapple Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I took a venerable dreadnought fist and put in the old metal terminator captain sword and it looks about right to me. Its a good option to base any weapon off of if you're looking for a weapon to hold instead of being attached. Gives you more options too since you can just file down the plastic hand holding the weapon that came from some other model and just glue it in the open fist.

tsijben Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Ok, dreads just ignore 'unwildy' right? They have nothing like Smash that would let them attack at AP2 without a weapon? No, but you have a Force Axe (for models with multiple wounds) and a Blood Fist and both of them can hit at I4. 5 attacks at S10 or 5 at S7/8 with Force is quite good.

Quixus Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 No, but you have a Force Axe (for models with multiple wounds) and a Blood Fist and both of them can hit at I4. 5 attacks at S10 or 5 at S7/8 with Force is quite good. Unwieldy is ignored:"A model attacking with this weapon Piles In and fights at Initiative step 1, unless it is a Monstrous Creature or a Walker." A Furioso Librarian is a Walker.

I guess that pretty much cements making a force axe! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Yes, the axe is by far the best. The axe has the greatest bonuses, and the greatest penalties of all the weapons. Being a dread negates that penalty. Neither sword nor mace gain any bonus from being on a dread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fivepointedstar Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 If you wanted to go with an axe type force weapon why not just purchase the new Space Wolf venerable dreadnought with that massive axe. All you would have to do is scrap off the wolf icon and green stuff some BA flair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Consider this. It looks awesome. http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Warhammer-40000/Space_Marines/Space-Marine-Dreadnoughts/MKIV_IRONCLAD_SEISMIC_HAMMER.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quixus Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Wouldn't that have to be used as a force staff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 I think it's weird enough for you to just tell your opponent what you are using it as. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
