Its ok. I want to redesign the muzzles anyway. i eas thinking something along the lines of a Barret .50cal muzzle break ratjer than a flash suppressor. a weapon like this isn't interested insuppressing flash anyway.

Very good comment, Dave. thank you. If one person would mistake them than more would.


Automatically Appended Next Post:


Of course the venting would have to be reversed and the muzzles flipped (if I don't completely redesign the altogether).

which shape do you guys like better?

Looking at it, the 'shoulder casing' seems a little... stubby.
I feel that extending it out so it was as long as the flat plat on top of the dread would look better.

I need to extend it out anyway because the front vertical piece is interfered with by the disc on the body of the dread. I am trying to figure out how to do so while maintaining the overall shape. also, thinking about making the barrels closer and putting conical muzzle ends on ala an anti-aircraft gun. Maybe spring coils instead of heat shields?

IS this just for you? Or for a commercial conversion kit?

If it is commercial, then I would try to make it instantly recognizable as GW weapons are, especially moreso for Marines (Marine equipment being so anally standardized as it is)

If it is for you, then do whatever you want! I like the Flared Muzzle idea.

SOOOOOOO< The Electro-Hawk is mailed off to Horst. Thanks to everyone for watching in.

This afternoon I will be assembling the main hulls and legs for 12 warhounds in a tutorial manner that will unfold in photos over the next two days.......

I will also, be posting the Bridgelayer and tank ohotos for reference here tonight.

They are all going to be in the gallery and since the vehicles are all public release information and taken by me feel free, when they are up, to copy any of them that strikes your need or fancy. And let me know if there is any other views or details you may need.

So, off to pick up my son for a doctor's appointment and then back here to BUILD BUILD BUILD.



I am going to be so happy to get this build done. I want to do so many other things. My buddies that are local are already planning an Apoc game that will use 8 10 of the dozen. That will def get posted here.......

uiiiii that khorne warhound is making some nice progress in paintland^^ i hope you are proud of all your work max!

the twisted dread arm looks interesting.... i might go so far as to say now it looks even better? hmmm... tho one thing is still unnerving me...the front sight on those barrels...? why? at all? because, the optics are allaround the place on a dread and he certainly wont need front sight at all?

and one other thing... the .50 berret sure has a surpressor to keep the flash as low as possible? or am i wrong here? and for the same reason i would suggest using this very muzzle look for your barrels...
