Charlo Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Nice! Where is the shield and icon on it from?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SM1981 Posted January 31, 2016 Author Share Posted January 31, 2016 Thanks! The shield is from a dread knight. It's slightly concave, but so shallow that when the icon goes over the top it's completely hidden. The icon is a trimmed back Baal Predator badge. It's had a couple of spikes removed from the halo to fit onto the shield surface, but that done the scale matches well. The benefit of the dread knight shield is it has a designed back that is shaped to fit a curved surface which works well against the dreadnought arm.

Dont-Be-Haten Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I'm terrible with green/grey stuff so this looks good to me. My only dis-like is the way the sword and board don't match. You have one gauntlet that is very humanesque and one that is definitely a dreadnought. Otherwise I don't mind the static pose. But unless you're good/confident with cutting and green/grey stuff I would leave it as is; except for the board arm, which I would change with either a dread knight or space wolf arm..

SM1981 Posted February 1, 2016 Author Share Posted February 1, 2016 I know what you mean about the miss matched fists. It's kind of been bugging me too. I'm torn as I like the guns mounted in the BaC Dreadnought palm, but keeping them denies the space where a more "human" fist would go. I think the solution is to start on a second shield arm, which has the weapons mounted to the underside of the forearm, a "human" hand, and shield onside. Then compare and contrast. Will get round to that eventually, and post an update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedemptionNL Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 The shield is from a dread knight.You sure? I don't remember my Dreadknight kit coming with a shield that size or with a trim, and looking at the sprues on the GW site, I don't see one either.
