I'm making a chaos dreadnought, but the model which gw sells look insanely stupid as well as space marine equavalent (oh hell lets admit it THEY LOOK LIKE F*****N MAILBOXES). After a while got an idea to use penitent engine for the job. It looks cool and its agility fits well in my slaanesh army

thing I would like to know anout petinent engine
1. is it platic model?
2. How big it is?
3. what kind of parts it includes?

I'm also interested about buying single parts like heads, but I dont know where to get them (There are battlewagon and bitzbox but are these places reliable?)

Here's some consept art:

Isn't resin just as bad? I mean, you still have to use that glue, which instantly bonds to skin but takes forever for anything else.

I suggest you dig through your bitz box and break out the green stuff. Have you ever bought spawn or possessed? They have great parts for conversions.

BTW, if you hate the GW dreads, what do you expect a dread to look like?

FW's dreads look a lot better compared to the GW ones (they cost a bit), but they are still boxy and I want my dread look like an agile cc beast. Also with a closed box you cant really see the driver and feel it's anger and pain.

I was also wondering how to add heavy weapons (like multi melta and plasmacannon) to the dread, but I dont want to lose any of those fierce cc arms penitent engine has. Maybe optonal weapons can be added on top the the "driver" by magnets?
