Just considering the looks:
1.) closed driver cell.
2.) Medieval ancient Gothic look, either in direction plate mail (see above) or castle (see Imperator Titan). Not too close to Necrons or Tau.

Judging from the photo, the Dreadknight is about three terminators tall, so about 4".

Here's what I'll be using as MY dreadknight!!!!!

I'm going with a Heavy Arms as one myself. Assuming it's big enough. I'll have to get a regular Dreadknight first to see.

As most others I immediately thought of a "baby carrier" whatver its called when I first saw it. Would look way cooler if that guy wasnt so exposed and the legs didnt look so out of place. But then I realised I'll never use it as I play BA so why bother?

DUDE DREADKNIGHTS CAN TAKE TELEPORTERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS!?!?!?!?!?!

I'd prefer this: http://www.kirinhobby.com/shop/product_info.php?products_id=2525

I think US mobile suits would have an easier time fitting into 40k

After much poring over it, it's starting to grow on me. It looks like a newer, cleaner Mechanicus design; the Grey Knights are one of few organizations who would have access to such a thing.

I'm definately going to be buying a couple of these. I'm not to fond of the exposed head but other than that the model is awesome.

You know I apologised to you, but now you're just being a prick. I'm not blind or stupid I know that's a shot at me. I understand you love starting internet arguments, but you don't have to be an donkey-cave about it.
I see you in a lot of threads arguing about this and that, and often you're pretty rude about it. I'm not asking for an apology because i know i won't get one.
Try to be less cutthroat in your quest for the psychological satisfaction of being "right" on the internet.

That was an apology? I thought it was you being a smart-ass. Tone is very hard to gauge on this here interwebs.

Well I wasn't trying to be subtle.

Mukkin'About wrote:I understand you love starting internet arguments, but you don't have to be an donkey-cave about it.

Arguments is such a harsh word. Discussions, conversations - these are more friendly terms. And if I'm being an donkey-cave about it it's mainly because I get tired of people who cannot muster support for their own points of view. Which relates to this...

It's not about being right. It's about being tired of seeing unsupported opinions put out there as if they were facts. It's about being tired of asking someone "Why do you think that?" and having nothing but crap labels like 'hater' and 'whiner' thrown back in my face. It's more important to me that someone can explain why they think what they think than who's right or not.

I don't know why i even bothered. you took apart everything I said and turned it on me.

You seem to expect the same kind of long-winded responses that you throw out. i frankly don't have the time and i feel my effort is wasted arguing with some internet prick with a post count that surpasses almost all the mods on this site.
And yes, you can call it "discussion" but your thinly veiled attempts at civility do little to cover up the fact that you are impolite at best and a total jerk at worst.

You don't have to take out your gak on everyone who says something you don't like.
I'm out. I don't feel it necessary to be on this site having someone wave their e-peen at me and act like they are the better man for it

Turned it on you? Hardly. I replied to each part in order. I like multi-quoting as it keeps the context secure - I'm responding to a specific point, so as not to confuse it with others, I separate it. Not that hard...

And again you result to personal insults because, frankly, you've got nothing better and have nothing any worth to say. You're not even amusing like The Kan is. You just sound... bitter... Yeah, I think you can join ph34r on 'ignore'.

Good day.

IMHO, if you are bothered by a newer design of a new unit that looks more straightup sci-fi, don't bother playing 40K. GW is changing constantly, new staff, new sculptors and new units for 40K

You don't like it, don't play GKs. Easy as that, or take a dreadnought instead. Just don't complain about losing a tactical advantage.

Its looks, and if you want a different model, why don't YOU scratchbuild a better one. Boohoo haters gotta hate.

And if I'm being an donkey-cave

We'd prefer it if you weren't.

you're just being a prick.

We'd prefer it if you didn't call other posters names like this.

Take a moment, count to 10/pray to whichever dark god has already laid claim to your soul -- it's in the site sign up conditions if you check --, take a breath and give the other poster the benefit of the doubt. People are going to have different opinions and views, it's much better all round if people make that little effort to be polite to each other.

And indeed, users are fine and it is often a good idea to utilise the "ignore" function.

It's just toy soldiers people.

I don't play GK (although after reading up on them I might have to!), but I think the Dreadknight looks pretty damn sweet. I kind of agree with people who say it doesn't quite match the 'look' of 40K, but apparently there's fluff that explains why it seems so... shiny, i guess. And it has a lot of dimensions and surface area to play with for all of us conversionists out there.

I might buy one, just for the fun of modding it up!

i dont like the concept of GW dreadkinight, so i made my own.
based on the previous showned true size dread.
