TheGoldenThrone Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 I currently have 2 DKs and I want to grow that number to 3 or maybe even 4, but I'm not a big fan of the DK model. I noticed FW has a relatively new Mechanicum Heavy Support model called the Thanatar Siege-Automata. They are :cussing expensive, of course, but I like the look. Has anyone tried one (or seen one) of these as a DK alternative? How close are they in size? Any other suggestions out there for DK alternatives?

SonofTitan117 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Here is a good picture to help you for referencing size. http://davetaylorminiatures.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/300496-dk-model-alternative/#findComment-3891190 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoldenThrone Posted December 16, 2014 Author Share Posted December 16, 2014 Very helpful. Thanks! The size of the model (not the base) looks about perfect. Amazing work on that site, too. That's a good find. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/300496-dk-model-alternative/#findComment-3891265 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeratul29 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I personally am fine with the model but I've seen people use the body of a Dreadnought as the replacement for the carriage of the NDK.

Reclusiarch Darius Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Thanatar is pretty bulky though, he's a lot tankier than the DK. You'll also need to mod up a sword or hammer to replace one of the claws.

Adeptus Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 The Leviathan Crusader is almost exactly the same size as a Dreadknight. A little bulkier around the torso, and about half an inch taller, but a perfectly suitable alternative. It's also cheaper and much better looking. I have two of them so far. EDIT: Just make sure you get the 15mm one. The 25mm one is much larger!
