appiah4 Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 As title asks.. I have a spare AOBR dreadnought, and might consider turning him into the Deathstorm Troops DC Dread (I forgot its name..) but would it be worth ordering the magna grapple bits? Do they fit the AOBR body? Has anybody tried or could someone try and see for me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucien Eilam Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 One Mk V Dreadnought is much the same as the next, the magna-grapple is just a plate that sits on top. I seem to remember the AOBR Dread had ever so slightly different dimensions in places, but only by 0.5mm or something. You might need to shave the plate slightly, or fill a small gap, but it should be close enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Closet Skeleton Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Just tested this. The answer is yes and no. There's certainly room for the magna-grapple, but the top of the AoBR dread is completely different so it doesn't snap on the way it does on a proper dread kit or even seem to stay in place (I added extra weight to the front of mine to make it look like its firing so don't know if it would fall forwards without that modification). A little greenstuff to the bottom of the magna-grapple to fill in the gaps should make it fit fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you could provide just one photo of the fit I would be very grateful :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quixus Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Sorry for hijacking the thread, but what about the Venerable Dreadnought? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Sorry for hijacking the thread, but what about the Venerable Dreadnought? Yep. Maybe not with the open canopy though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravenshard42 Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 I put one on my aobr dred and it just took a bit of shaving/reshaping, ill tey and get a pic up later tonight. I also replaced most of the sarcophagus and housing, its very chopped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean the MK IV look? Too bad, I guess I will have to build a grappling hook myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it helps, It fits with some extra armour on, resting, albeit with a gap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

appiah4 Posted November 3, 2015 Author Share Posted November 3, 2015 Well, ended up pulling the trigger on a bits order.. So now I'll be building a Cassor the Damned with an AOBR body and a Raphen's Death Company with 3rd Edition pewter DC bodies. Wish me luck. (Photos would still be nice) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
