Marshal Vespasian Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Hello fraters, I am currently building my venerable dreadnought and had to realize that it doesnt contain a rocket launcher. Does someone have a good tip for third party dreadnought parts? I had a look at puppets war but didn't like the round design of the rocket pod. Thank you in advance Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/351484-3rd-party-dreadnought-bits/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
NovemberIX Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Kromlech has a pair of good designs, the cyclone launchers from the Terminator and Drop pod kits also work to varying degrees. If you're looking for an arm mounted launcher, the best bet would be to order the bits off eBay, or try and find and old resin MKIV launcher. Shapeways also has a VSL looking launcher set as well.

FormelyKnownAsSmashyPants Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 I'd try to find one from the regular dreadnought kit from a site like bits and kits or similar.

Carlson793 Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Blood and Skulls Industry/machinator248 just introduced three missile pods.(click the pic for product page) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/351484-3rd-party-dreadnought-bits/#findComment-5201321 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quixus Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 They look more like they are designed for aircraft rather than dreadnoughts Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/351484-3rd-party-dreadnought-bits/#findComment-5201376 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sockwithaticket Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 I've seen a few alt Contemptor shoulders on Shapeways, but that's about it. Dreadnoughts are not well catered for in the 3rd part market.

Quixus Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 I found this on shapeways. Not my style, but at least it is a missile launcher. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/351484-3rd-party-dreadnought-bits/#findComment-5201473 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firepower Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Looks more Armored Core than Warhammer, I think. Still, like you said, any port in a storm. If you have the parts, this is a pretty simple conversion and looks pretty good for a simple kitbash: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/351484-3rd-party-dreadnought-bits/#findComment-5201488 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quixus Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 I see a havoc launcher, but where is the armour plate from? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/351484-3rd-party-dreadnought-bits/#findComment-5201508 Share on other sites More sharing options...
infyrana Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 And how is the havoc launcher connected please? Great conversion though for cost effectiveness :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/351484-3rd-party-dreadnought-bits/#findComment-5201521 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quixus Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 And how is the havoc launcher connected please?I think it is just the normal swivel mount of the havoc launcher.

Firepower Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Yup, just connects at the base like it would on a tank (naturally I recommend magnetizing). Can't recall what the covering plate is from. I can try to find it again later. Gotta check and see how the plate from a loyalist turret fits, too.

Arkhanist Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Leg plate from a defiler as that cover, possibly? I think a plastic bits seller would be the simplest option. I've found a couple of resin bits that fit contemptors that you could mount sideways, but I think they might be a bit small. https://bitsofwar.com/home/118-zephyr-missile-launcher-mk2-.html http://anvilindustry.co.uk/Shoulder-Missile-Launcher http://anvilindustry.co.uk/image/cache/data/weapons_equipment/Missile/missile-launcher-3q-400x400.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/351484-3rd-party-dreadnought-bits/#findComment-5201652 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Vespasian Posted November 28, 2018 Author Share Posted November 28, 2018 I'm thinking about 2 infantry missile Launchers in a dreadnought shoulder as an easy conversion I could do with bits I have on hand and some scalpel work. The anvil Industrie cyclone launcher could work too, IT looks a bit bigger than the kormlech one. Actually I have to say after spending an hour on painting lightning effects on the thunderfist and being uncharacteristicly happy with IT, I might want to use a dreadnought ccw anyways ^^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/351484-3rd-party-dreadnought-bits/#findComment-5201671 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quixus Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Give Puppets War a try The designs are nice, but the sizing and quality control is a bit off.
