Dallas Drake Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 I'm a huge fan of Forgeworld but I really wanted the Mhara Gal model to be better... it just looks a bit 'gammy' to me, I think it's the legs - they look odd. A huge shame since the Gal Vorbak are beautiful in a corrupted possessed kind of way. Anyway, I decided to create my own Tainted Dreadnought using bits left over from my Maulerfiends and a spare Dreadnought sprue I had, plus other bits from other kits. These photos are all pre-green stuff work (aside from hiding the pinning on the legs), and it does need some attention with the old green stuff (which I am doing tomorrow) but what are people's thoughts? Does it look 'Tainted' enough? http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr353/jonas1917/dfbdf.png http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr353/jonas1917/tyngb.png http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr353/jonas1917/dfbdfzbdf.png Dallas Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/307688-scratch-built-tainted-dreadnought/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pearson73 Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Looks ace, great posture and use of parts. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/307688-scratch-built-tainted-dreadnought/#findComment-4044531 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiddarKato Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Most glorious, he reminds me of a decimator daemon engine. Though on a personal level I never liked the design of those hindlegs with the double knee joints but that is ofcourse a personal preference.

Brother Mayhem Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Definately nicking this idea! What did you use for the pelvis to attach the legs and torso to?

Dallas Drake Posted May 16, 2015 Author Share Posted May 16, 2015 Most glorious, he reminds me of a decimator daemon engine.Thanks. It's certainly big enough, the legs make it stand twice the height of a regular Dreadnought. I can use it as both I guess!

Forté Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 How is the height compared to a Contemptor? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/307688-scratch-built-tainted-dreadnought/#findComment-4045888 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dallas Drake Posted May 17, 2015 Author Share Posted May 17, 2015 How is the height compared to a Contemptor? Not sure Forte? How big is a Contemptor? It's just under twice the height of a CSM Helbrute. I'll post up height comparisons later. Here it is undercoated in Dragon Red... I'll get paint on this next week hopefully. http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr353/jonas1917/xb64.jpg http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr353/jonas1917/xb77.png http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr353/jonas1917/IMG_0112.jpg http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr353/jonas1917/IMG_0116.png Apologies - the undercoat isn't quite dry and I'm using an iPhone camera so not the best shots above... ==================== EDIT - Size comparisons. http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr353/jonas1917/fsdfdsf.jpg So with the help of google you can see a Contemptor is a tad taller than a Dreadnought... But as you can see below, he's quite a bit taller than the CSM Helbrutes and the loyalist/Chaos sized FW/GW Dreadnought. So I'd say more Dreadknight sized than Contemptor sized. http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr353/jonas1917/IMG_0117.jpg http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr353/jonas1917/IMG_0119.jpg I think I'm going to try him out as both a Mhara Gal and a Decimator in friendly games.

Julgolax Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 It looks more like a Daemon Prince than a Hellbrute imho, but it looks awesome whatever it plays as. The nice thing about Chaos units is that most of the models can represent more than one item. Take off a Predator's turret and throw on a twin-linked lascannon, and you have a chaos razorback. :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/307688-scratch-built-tainted-dreadnought/#findComment-4048417 Share on other sites More sharing options...
