major buzzmore Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 Ok guys here is the deal. I want to make a Pre - Hereasy Dreadnought, based on the Sabretooth CCG artwork, and not the Forgeworld style. oes anyone have any suggestions on how I could achieve the torso shape ? are there any parts you could suggest (GW or domestic, anything really !) Thanks in advance Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/90980-i-need-help-with-a-pre-heresy-dread-torso/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
macorrie Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 I have just finished a CCG style (though not a 100% copy) dread..but i used parts from 1/20 Nitto S.F.3.D. kits from the 80's...one way you might go is to use pink insulation foam and carve it to shape...I personally wasnt concerned with accuarcy and now mine only sorta' resembles the CCG Dread... I'll be posting Pics later on today or tomorrow Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/90980-i-need-help-with-a-pre-heresy-dread-torso/#findComment-1045997 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Biguss Brutus Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 I seem to remember seeing one using the Inquisitor tyrus torso from Inquisitor, it should be big enough because its inquisitor scale, have a search through the Post your Dread thread, should be one using it in there I think, I'll have a looksie Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/90980-i-need-help-with-a-pre-heresy-dread-torso/#findComment-1045999 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Magyar Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 I too would like to see pics of those Firehawk. I've been planning on building a pre heresy dread or two based on the CCG artwork. Commander Biguss Brutus is this the one you were thinking of. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/warpedvision/VenerableDreadfront.jpg I built this for my Paladins army ( which I have'nt spent much time on lately).

FireHawk Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 Got a few pics done before my camera battery ran out (I had seconds of battery life literally), that and the fact they are so small is why they are of rubbish quality. :( http://bolterandchainsword.com/index.php?a...album&album=694 Ill try to get better pics tomorrow......

flyinghippo Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Also WD 300 (the big one) has an article about a Legio Custodes that contains 2 PH dread (pg 156-161). Theres even a pic telling you all the major bits used in the conversion of one of them...

Heru Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Fanatic Custodes Article http://us.games-workshop.com/games/40k/spacemarines/painting/taylor_heresy/images/dread_1.jpg I believe that the main body of the Dread above is in fact from the Inquisitor Lord Karamazov's Throne of Judgement from the Witch Hunters range. http://us.games-workshop.com/games/40k/spacemarines/painting/taylor_heresy/images/dread_2.jpg While this one I believe uses the INQ range Tyrus body (well at the very least the shoulder armour and neck guard), like the Dreadnought in the post above.

Doghouse Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 This a picture of an old one I started a couple of years back, pretty grim looking and I never finished it. Torso is just GS though. Don't know if it helps. :tu: http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b141/Doghouse12/Dred.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/90980-i-need-help-with-a-pre-heresy-dread-torso/#findComment-1046717 Share on other sites More sharing options...

All we get is a Venerable Ultra Dread with a interesting paint job and some extra bling...

Doghouse Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 You could remove the shoulder pads from the forgeworld dread and use the torso as a starting point. With the exception of the head the torso is one solid piece unlike the plastic version. Blindhamster: That's pretty weird because in my version it's only got the plastic version with the shield on the shoulder pad. Are there any pictures of it floating around online?
