thats right...

you heard right...

my friend had the slip of tongue and said

"havent you put that dreadnaught lord together yet?"

when reffering to a venerable dreadnaught that I hadnt built due to the death of my daemon hunter army...

so I thought...

a lord piloted dread??

hmmm...

interesting...

what would it have???

what would it do???

none the less it would be severely angry at evreything around it... all the time... forever... seriously...

so I'm making the model now just for the hell of it...

but its up to you dakka to tell me what it has/does...

Okay...

I know it's probably incredibly stupid and a laughable Idea...

but hey...

I'm in a weird building mood...

Just make a sweet looking dreadnought, and use the regular dreadnought rules.

My dread is very daemonic looking, has a juggernaut's head and body, and is named Casus Rex (fallen king).

The fluff is that my current daemon prince used sorcery to bind the daemon prince that used to run my Black Legion company into the dreadnought, resulting in a very daemonic dreadnought.

I just use the regular rules for it. But it did win "best painted unit" at a tournament.

I have seen it before...

and it is grand sir...

I applaud your skill when handling awesome...

You've seen it? When and where? I haven't posted pics of it on the internets... so you may be getting it confused with really-super-awesome things that are out there on the tubes.

sorry...

I saw another dread a little while ago with a jugg head...

so I guess I put 2 and 2 together and got fish...

so my apologies sir...

I would like to see it though if you wouldnt mind sharing for inspiration??

If I had a digital camera I'd show you for sure

I can outline it roughly for you:

Juggernaut lower torso with one of the leg-plates from an imperial dreadnought over the saddle.

Imperial dreadnought upper torso connected with GS and pins, random tubing and such.

TL-Autocannon from a defiler for the right arm.

Left arm is imperial dreadnought CC weapon with the leg blades from a defiler as "claws."

Head is Juggernaut head connected with GS to the sarcophagus of the imp dread torso.

Some chaos terminator spikes are added to the shoulders of the torso.

sounds like an interesting build!

I've got alot of the torso so far...

I think I'm going to be lazy and kit bash the whole thing and now use ANY greenstuff...

but thats just me...

does anyone want to see it??

or do we not care...

Sure, show it off.

note to viewers...

this may look terrible...

I have no idea where this is going and I'm kinda making it up as I go along...

plus...

tiredness kinda sucks with model building...

but here we go...

the front with its... roll cages??



a close up on the helmet...



a shot of the exhaust pipes... (all 7)

not to mention I am in the process of making him a chain fist...

I like that a lot. It's going to look really cool as long as you don't mess up the legs and arms

which I am going to admit is VERY easy to do...

and also...

is you avatar an MC Chris thing?

Honestly I wasn't expecting much at all, but I really like what you've come up with. Like willy said, don't screw up the rest of it and it's great

I agree with you guys and thanks for the compliments...

I'll keep you posted and ask for tips of what should go about in the future...

thanks guys...

Nice start there on the dreadlord, and I dig the idea of a dread leader. You read the book Daemon World? The Violators space marines are led by a dread in that book, and if I ever get around to making some Violators properly I'd be using the dread as a demon prince. Might work for you too, perhaps:

DP - MoN, doombolt / wind of chaos

Depends on which gun you're representing with the psychic power: doombolt = assault cannon / heavy bolter, wind = heavy flamer, etc. Wings clearly make it better in game, but that's a big modeling issue to contend with, and admit it, most dreads don't fly (except loyalist ones, which drop pod = better than flying).

paint???

It's not finished yet man! Looks pretty cool though.

@sinism i really like your conversions and the details you put into them.
So i did some painting again for what i always want mine to look like ( but i have 0 skill at conversions )

basically the top half is your dred, bottom half is chopped up re arranged juggernaught of khorn. with lance and an axe on each hand.

thanks for keeping up guys!

SALVAGE: I've thought about playing him as a daemon prince... but if I'm not mistaken you described a BEAST of a unit that would be awesome to field... but unfortunately can not be... you gave him the mark of nurgle and two psycher powers when you cn only take two if you have the mark of tzeentch...

but other than a daemon prince either playing it as an HQ... or making it into a heavy support by giving it more weapons... because a lord wouldnt settle for a dreadnaught with less than 4 arms...

DREADNOTE: thanks for the support and I hope I can only finish it as strong as I've started...

and last but not least...

LUNAHOUND: I love that idea... that seems like it'd be like a daemon engine kinda thing... like a reverse soul grinder?? robo torso and daemon legs?? plus two bitchin close combat arms... sweet... P.S. I thoroughly enjoy all of these little sketches... they tend to lighten up a thread no matter the situation...

I meant, pick doombolt or wind of chaos depending on how you arm the thing. The defiler could work too, but the bummer about making him a legit walker is then he's an AV12 model waiting to be one-shoted off the table. With a T6 DP he at least gets to keep impressing people with his presence for a couple turns

And that is a cool sketch Luna, trying to figure out how you made it ...

Looks pretty good so far!

I don't think that my avatar is an MC Chris thing... it's a muppets thing! It's Beaker, standing in the rain with a guitar, and it says "boys don't cry." I thought it was hilarious.

warcraft, warcaarrft, warrcarft.

Sorry is't a dredlord from warcarft?

I'm actually not acquainted with things from warcraft as I do not play...

so I actually dont know if there is something named a dreadlord...

I'm just calling it that because it is a lord that has been resurrected in a walking and very deadly sarcophagus...

but yeah...
