The brand spanking new Ironclad


Its cc weapon.

The siesmic Hammer

Well I had not seen it before, looks frakking awesome to me, ill be grabbing 3 for my Vulcan List, thats for sure!

Looks more than a little top-heavy. Bet it's hell in close combat.

I really dislike the close combat weapons and top mounted missiles. The fists are way too huge, and the missiles look tacked on.

Now THAT is what a dred should look like. Ace.

The email was sent out prematurely. It wasn't supposed to be sent until this Saturday.

...and to be perfectly honest. I don't like it at all. :(

Horrendous model IMO-- it looks significantly worse than a normal or even Black Reach Dreadnought, and it'll probably be overpriced as well. On the plus side, this means that I won't be spending extra money on buying these for my army...

Undecided. Like the fist and the angular slab armor, dislike the 'hammer' and the hunter-killers. Wondering if I'd like it better sans banner, for the stocky-smashy look.

Thanks for the pics!

- Salvage

@ Salvage; my pleasure
I think it's bloody awesome, mahoosive armour plates and two gurt big wacky arms. The thingthat lets the mobel down though is those hunter killers they look as if they were tacked on as an afterthought

As long as i can build it without the Hunter Killers i'll be a happy camper.

Hopefully the HK missiles are an optional add-on to the model, because they look like bunny ears from the front.

I think it looks pretty good. I won't be using the hunter killers of course, they are a waste of points on a model like that and they look pretty awful tacked on like that.

For being so much more heavilly armored it looks much less stocky then the regular or venerable dreads, something which I like. The regular dread looks almost silly in how stubby its legs are, this thing looks like it could actually traverse some terrain.

I want to loot one!

nice I like it.

The CC weapons are ridiculous. Let me put Twin-linked Lascannons on each arm instead.

Great looking model. I can envision one painted up to look battleworn and ready to dish it out.

Mattlov wrote:The CC weapons are ridiculous.

They're better looking then the regular dread close combat weapons.

Meh, I made my own. So far theres no clues if it includes chainfists or not

I dont like it... its.......

Besides the Tau plates on the front, what's the difference between this and the furioso?

It doesn't even look like the smoke launchers could fire past the HK launchers. The underslung meltagun also looks very awkward and ruins the lines of the left arm.

The missile launcher things on the shoulder pad look really stupid. It doesn't really seem that much more armored than a regular dreadnought.

While the missiles do look weird, the rest is pretty cool

Tizz wrote:Meh, I made my own. So far theres no clues if it includes chainfists or not

the CAD images i;'ve seen indicate a chainfist option, but it might not have made the final cut.

the moedl looks too squat and the seismec hammer is how a seismic 40k hammer would proabaly work, many 'hammers' pummeling the targe, although these ones look more like the thing from eurotrip, no good on slaanesh takns


Caprosmaster

Maybe the model will come with options like the current dred does. Hope so, the CAD showed a chainfist arm and an arm with several bolters on it. It also showed an underslung flamer and the pics above show a melta so hopefully there is more to this.

The banner is just silly, it's a dred designed to smash through walls etc, how long would a banner pole last?
Would've been nice to have had a different base too.

The stormbolter on the right arm looks like it would fire straight into the fist in front of it as well. It's a pity they don't have an engineer or similar to advise on some of the crap designs they come up with. It's not difficult to fix but why can't they produce a model that doesn't require fixing?

Actually, I think it just looks that way.
If you check pic one, it would seem like it should be firing right through those two ... claws.
However, you are right, the position is kind of dumb ... especially if you can actually twist/turn the full ring of 4 claws into the way of the bolter.

The hammer looks kinda dumb but overall I like it. I will probably switch it out for something else. I also hope that this model comes with all of the missing options from the regular Dread.

I think it looks a bit on the small side for a "siege dread" still looks neat. Heres wanting them to give you the arm for a hurricane bolter.

So... is it metal or plastic?

What's with its waist? It would be falling over all the time.

I like it! I'm not a fan of the missiles or the melta or the storm bolter positions... but meh. Conversions : )

Kinda reminding me of the Transformers for some reason. Very robot-suity.

i think when i get this model i will replace those missiles with the missile pods off a terminator. i dont like how chunky and useless they look. i'll be buying this just for another dred. and paint it up as a techmarine dread (possibbly with servo arms folded up on its back

Of all the questions asked and comments made in this thread, this one is the most important, as it is truly the final arbiter of how many people buy the thing.

The newsletter clearly states that this will be a multi-part plastic kit with all the options from the marine codex.

It has the chainfist option. You can see one in the Planetstrike book.

BrookM wrote:The newsletter clearly states that this will be a multi-part plastic kit with all the options from the marine codex.

Yup, it's plastic all right (always was).

Looks kind of gangly with the over-sized limbs. You'd think the extra armor would have made them go with a bulkier look.

Love it! The CC weapons can be swapped out for whatever you want, hell it's plastic. Put on the power snippers from the AOBR warbosses you all have laying around, or use the much nicer looking chainfist and don't call it a chainfist. If you aren't using the missiles, mount the melta and storm bolter up there over its shoulders! The "over the shoulder guns" look great, very battletech-like.

It's going to be the same price in metal or plastic, I'm sure.

In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only back massagers.

Who said anything about price? After the plastic AoBR dread, I refuse to buy another dread in metal ever again, as it's no longer needed... and I hate metal models with a passion.

That's all I use. Metal models cost more at retail, but after a while, they enter the second hand market, and that's where I do my business. You can strip and repaint metal models all day long, but the plastic kits are harder to strip and almost impossible to break down.

I think this model looks really cool! *considers Ironclad spam*

When is it coming out? I like the missiles. I've been toying with an Ironclad spam list that all have 2 HK missiles for the first turn, 12 HK missile, alpha strike. If IG armor 12 lists take off, it might be worth investing.

Looks like a Tau Broadside Battle suit. The feet and torso in particular.

I much prefer Jes Goodwins "regular" plastic Dreadnought design, and or any of the FW dreads.

This one is very unbalanced and over the top, just for the sake of bigger = better.

It provides some great oportunities for conversions though, I wouldn't build it as it is from the box though.

You hit the nail on the head, whitedragon. That's exactly the reason I like it - it reminds me of weird, awkward Battletech/Robotech mechs. (Hm....now, why hadn't I thought of a Space Marine chapter painted up in Skull Squadron colors...black and white with yellow accents?)

Danny Internets wrote:Looks kind of gangly with the over-sized limbs. You'd think the extra armor would have made them go with a bulkier look.

I agree. Overall I don't like this model very much at all... maybe it's due to the longer limbs, but one way or another it doesn't look any sturdier or bulkier than a normal dreadnought. I hate the seismic hammer, and the HK missiles are very poorly designed on there. I hope it comes with many more options to make up for what the normal dreadnought lacks.

Thanks for quoting me Panzer Madchen, bewbs seem to catch the attention of the lads around here more than regular posts.

Really liked the CAD designs I saw a while back but now I've seen it painted I'm not so sure!!!! Not a fan of the missiles or the close combat weapon but like the leg armour and hammer!!! Will have to see if this grows on me!

WANT! That's very close to what I envisioned as the seismic hammer.

i kinda like it except for the weird position of the smoke launchers on top.

Why are they calling a badly done oil well drill bit a seismic hammer?

Frazzled wrote:Why are they calling a badly done oil well drill bit a seismic hammer?

At least now I have a piece to use in my diorama of a group of rag-tag IG engineers who were sent to an Ork Rok to drill to its core and plant a melta charge before it slams into some planet.

That's actually a way cool idea.

I think a swap for the FW siege drill would make this thing look amazing, particularly in a "counts as" situation....

I remember seeing the CAD and being disappointed then too. I like the plating and the profile(sans the missile ears) but there are so many design stupidities here. Why not have some sort of observational scopes on the top of the dread on a rotating base so the thing can actually see more than 30 degrees in front of it? Why can't the meltagun be incorporated into the close combat weapon like Hurons flamer? That thing is going to get knocked off or squashed the instant the dread gets into a fight with something. The seismic hammer looks like a drill bit, not a hammer. I was desperately hoping for Big-O style piston fist, but the obvious (and cool, somewhat believable option did not happen.) The same that went for the melta goes for the bolter. You don't attach a gun to the business end of a smashy bit without at least trying to incorporate it in such a way that it won't get smashed. The legs are better, but they still need to be longer, especially to compensate for such huge feet.



THAT SAID, I still like things about this model, but there were a huge amount of missed opportunities that were replaced with bad decisions.

EDIT for failing at grammer

It looks pants, gw need to produce new things instead of rehashing old models!

Plastic I would assume. Was spotted on CAD stuff, and I can't think of a vehicle made recently that was metal, not since the Venerable Dread.

I quite like it. Very Marine like in the single purposeness of it. It's not here the look good. It's here to stomp you and your girly buildings in a tiny splutchy pancake type shape.

1. Take a great plastic model and make it sub-par in its codex.
2. Modify that great plastic model in to a blinged up disproportionate monstrosity.
3. ???
4. Profit!

This is only -slightly- less ugly than the metal Venerable dreadnought they put out. The worst part about it is how weedy its shoulders and hips look after they grotesquely oversized everything else. The limbs are far too detailed, the sarcophagus is way too bare of details, and the shoulder mounted gear is just silly looking. If it wasn't so much better than pretty much every other dreadnought in the game, it'd probably be another huge non-seller like his fugly infantry brothers, the Catachans.

I award this model 3 Fails out of 4!

new dread = weak sauce
Looks like I'll be converting a FW dread.
*sigh*
and buying warmachine Kador bits

It'll probably look better anyways...

At first glance I thought the HK's were either spotlights or hello kitty eyes. It seems like they're trying to mimic warmachine with those giant arms though. To me it doesn't look like a new sculpt, just a hacked up job of an old model.

Note: With minimal trimming, you can fit the LC turrets from the baneblade kit over the plastic dread's arm pegs, and they actually come out looking pretty nice... since the kit is, itself, in plastic, It shouldn't be a problem to convert these things into something severely awesome-looking with minimal work.

That's a very good point. It doesn't take much to make ugly plastic look decent.

I like it, in fact i like it a lot more than I thought i would!

Doesn't look great but isn't too bad either. With some conversion, it can be really good to field.

BrookM wrote:The newsletter clearly states that this will be a multi-part plastic kit with all the options from the marine codex.

All the options for the Ironclad, or all the options for the Dread (TL-Autocannons, Plasma Cannons, etc.)?

All the Ironclad options I'd expect.

Minus the odd one or two which usually annotate GW's definition of 'all'

If you want to convert off an expensive new kit, might as well as converting if off AOBR ones.

I've got two of the AOBR ones and while they're nice enough, the boxed plastic one is much better. At least if you buy one siege dred you'll have the arms for converting an AOBR dred into a second siege dred and sell your AOBR arms off to someone making a card dred.

I think it looks more lightweight than the standard dred. It looks 'stripped down' IMO and the front armour does seem tau-esque.

i wouldnt field it as an ironclad at all, keep the arms and get a FW body. Like i said before it would suit being a techmarine dread far more easily. At least it is plastic tho. i wont complain about that.

LunaHound wrote:If you want to convert off an expensive new kit, might as well as converting if off AOBR ones.

EXALT!

If one is replacing the Ironclad kits' oversized Popeye arms with the ridiculously huge weapon mounts, and his giant cartoon feet, then what is the point of buying the kit over a Black Reach cheapie!

that is awefull. and isnt it ment to have some kinda frag launcher on the front?

ITT, people don't realize how ridiculous and unworkable the regular dread design is (it can barely move, and it's arms don't make sense), and how much of an improvement the legs and arms are on this new models.

Let's be honest Shummy, DoW did a pretty good job of taking what is a very clunky and illogical design and making it 'work' (as best as they could).

Honestly I don't mind this new Iconclad. The fact that it is all plastic makes it very attractive to someone who loves conversions, especially if it comes with all the Ironclad options. With any luck Forge World will make an alternate side Hurricane Bolter mount so I can have a dread with twin banks of Bolters (useless, yes, but damn that'd look cool!).

Well thats a big let down i was actually hoping for a Huge destructive looking thunder hammer not just another ornate DCCW

Yeah, the Seismic Hammer is a disappointment. I was hoping for mega Thunder Hammer. The feet are also really weird. I don't like the tau-esque lines, either. On the upside, it indicates a conversion won't have to do much. Add a bit of sarcophagus armor and a armor codpiece/tabard and you're there. Heck, they didn't even obscure the harness wiring on the sarcophagus!

I am pretty bummed about this too. I don't know what I was expecting body and armor wise, but I really wanted the seismic hammer to be either a piston driven, pneumatic penetration device of some sort, or a dreadnought sized thunderhammer with a bec-de-corbin. I didn't really expect a weapon that looks like you need to hold it in place while it gradually works its way in. That and the melta gun looks really awkward compared to the old Furisio version.

I might still buy one, since I sometimes like models better in person, but I am not as exceited as I was previously.

... I need to make a thunderhammer/storm shield dread. That would kick ass.

Big dissapointment for me. I'm just going to convert some AOBR dreads.


GG

Love the ironclad
may have to make a small ironclad spam army now
they actually look like they can move about.

also, those HK missiles better not be fixed in place :K
they will get used as bitz.

The smaller wires have received armoured coverings but I guess they should all have been covered.

The seismic hammer does at least look like it's designed to destroy things through vibration rather than hulk smash but a drill bit would have been better I reckon.

I think that when most of us thought 'Seismic Hammer' we were thinking "Big Freaking Hammer" and not "Pneumatic Impact Hammer".

Its almost impossible for GW to make a decent iron clad imo without changing the structure beneath.

I mean it was already a box . How do you give more armor to a box without making it more boxy!

Wehrkind wrote:

This is a fantastic idea! I am totally stealing it. It would be clear at first glance that it is better armored, the shield works as a DCCW, etc. Brilliant!

Big O came to mind when I first read about seismic hammers on Dreadnoughts.

Not impressed. The only think I like about it is the arms. The body just looks too weedy to be AV13.

Nice of em to make a model for the Ironclad, but I already convert a black reach dread.

I'm actually curious if it actually comes with TWO heavy flamers for both arms.

I don't know if I am just so used to looking at the normal dreads, or if this Ironclad model really looks bad.

I don't really like it now, but I may like it after I play against some guy with 3 them smashing away at my army and fully painted.

so... marines have THREE plastic dreads, and Chaos has zero? Seems about right.

I thought GW put in the fire frenzy rule so people would never complain about the lack of a plastic Chaos Dread?

There's a better pic of the Ironclad on Warseer from Games Day Baltimore.

In a month or so, when Planet Strike comes out.

I only dislike the Hunter Killers and the Melta hanging off the bottom of the Hammer, everything else looks fine.

Sounds like someone doesn't know how to use the image tags and is trying to mask it .

Sadly, that Pic made me decide that its nothing but FW dreds for me from now on....

I like the DCCW, it looks beefy. The rest is firmly Meh. AOBR dreads with a little extra bulk will be just fine.

Seismic hammer is rather phallic.

Alot of people, myself included, don't want to click a link to another site. I come here for my news, and that should be enough. There is nothing wrong with that, so chill bud.

i wasnt too impressed by the pic... however seeing it in person ive changed my mind. Ill be getting at least 2 of these now.

Hmmmmm, I gotta say, I am not overly impressed with the model...in fact , I think some of the site regulars conversions are far better. Some of this may be because of the angle the picture has been taken at...the one in the Games Day pic looks a little better. To my mind the model does not look 'armoured' enough for the role it is meant to play and as others have already said, the auxiliary weapon placements on the arms don't really work...better to have them underslung on the bottom of the sarcophagus same as a MKIV Dread.

I had envisioned the seismic hammer to be a piston driven item as well...I have fond memories of a really tacky 80's film called 'Robot Jox' where the Russians and Americans were slugging it out in huge bipedal war machines...the Russian bot has a piston driven fist and it knocks the heck outta the American one...really cool scene...ahem, I digress!

The CC arm is too oversized for my liking, they would have been better going with the Furioso design. All the other options are just that I guess...options. GW, in the pursuit of stream-lining their business are to release ALL kits with ALL options I believe, starting with the IG Sentinals, so I guess the kit will come with a full option spread.

I may buy this kit purely for the optional bitz but, like many others will probably convert an AOBR dready or take a FW model...the standard MKIV looks almost made for the role IMO.

My guardians of the covenant will be overjoyed to have 2 of these bad boys guarding the gastes to hell

Might also get 1 for the sand tigers (CSM) to play with

Eugh, horrible. Another fugly SM figure, 'grats GW!

sA

*prays to the emperor that the Ironclad and Vulkan models launch at the same time so he can build his first tourney army.*

Yeah they are basically the same for armor.

I think the size of the hammer and dccw is putting people off. It has the extra armor up front, but it needs some more. It's armor 13 on the sides so it should be beefier on the sides.

well I dont play Space Marines, but it looks great.

I am kind of jealous of the Space Marines. When was the last time the Necrons had a new mini sculpted? 3rd Edition?

Does no one else think it looks like its carrying a sex toy seriously.

Of cource having a right arm ccw now means that furioso type dreds can be fielded by those less proficient at converting and without needing to buy from FW for those that have difficulty buying from overseas.

It also gives if nothing else, another sacophagus variation for a normal dred. This just has heaps of conversion possibilities.

lasgunpacker wrote:so... marines have THREE plastic dreads, and Chaos has zero? Seems about right.

All it takes to make a dred chaos is to paint chaos symbols on it. If chaos players want more then most should have access to the chaos vehicle accessory sprue which gives them spikes etc.

I love the arms especially the extra big fist arm, but I'm still undecided about the 'Tau-esque' armour plate design. The melta doesn't look too bad, just perhaps shorten the space between it and the fist, or mount it elsewere as has already been mentioned. On the whole I really like this model although the hunter killer missiles look awful, they definately wont be being put on my Ironclad.

Is there an official launch date? Also I've heard they plan on releasing a few other models at the same time as the ironclad.

ShumaGorath wrote:

Thats a good comparison Shuma.

But check out that codpiece! That's where the old Dread is lacking.

The ironclad also has bigger feet and what appears to be more angular shin armour. Plus if nitpicking, something the old crotches around here love, some of the cables going into the sarcophagus are armoured.

Does that loin cloth thing just hang down or is it attached to the bit between the legs? Hopefully the former if that dred is going to be able to twist at the waist.

So is GW charging a fortune for this, or don't we have to rely on other stores for our model?

ok i got a question is it metal or plastic?

Multi-part plastic. Plastic. Plastic. Plastic. Plastic. Plastic. Plastic. Plastic. Plastic. Plastic. Plastic. Plastic. Plastic. Plastic. Plastic. Plastic. Plastic. Plastic. Plastic. Plastic. Plastic.

(Metal).

Looks sort of like an evolution of the Dreadnought design rather than a variation but I'm glad we have both.

There is certainly nothing wrong with options and variants.

Time to get ready for some heavy conversions

It is pretty cool but i have to agree with 'yani' here as those bits near the head do look like they were chucked on after the rest had been designed and stuff, really hope its plastic too.

Yes, this model IS plastic.

not a fan.

Best Movie Evar! Srsly!

the main character was an illiterate American, the tech guy was asian, and the Russian was overly brutal.... so awesomely cheesy

everyone needs to see this film, two words "Crotch Chainsaw"

itll be a good base 4 conversions

I always felt a seismic hammer would be so much cooler as something like this...



Excuse the aweful paint job, I can't do thin clean highlights to save my life.

THATS what a hammer should be

Am i the only one who enjoys where the HK missiles are, i think they suit the model very well...
