My first Ironclad Dreadnought!

Converted from a black reach dread, this brother is now equipped to drop pod into the thick of the enemy and smash them to pieces!

Lots of little conversions going on here, the legs have been repositioned and cables reconnected. HK missile Launcher on top. Extra armour everywhere. Custom Seismic Hammer with built in melta. extended open sarcophagus. Stamping on an Ork Nob.

hope you like!

Very very worthy. Only flaw i can see is the upside down *drill arm?

**yakface**

It is a very nice conversion but this is not a tutorial so I'm moving this thread to the basic Painting and Modeling forum.

Many thanks, I had selected the wrong forum by accident!

**SagesStone**

Looks good. I like the Ork stomping and the sarcophagus part.

**Deff Dread red Edition**

Very cool!!!

**MagickalMemories**

I think it's nice, and the upside down arm doesn't really bother me... but you REALLY REALLY should remove that upside down skull & crossbones from it, at the very least.

The cybot looks great! Very brutal!

Why do you "complain"(no offense) about the arm being upside down? If the cybot turns his arm this way, it has to be like this, I think...

**Wolf**

Well, this is freakin awesome ! i love the whole techy look to it, i think you need to make more and make tutorials haha!

I agree with the upside down skull get that off and its fantastic =D

**Sgt.Roadkill**

i love all of it excep tthe big ass ccw thing

it just looks a lil to chunky and unwieldly for my liking

**Technoscream**

Thanks everyone, yes I had noticed the skull was upside down, and plan to scrape it off and replace it, should only be a five min job! I cant wait to test this guy out!

**arch_inquisitor**

I think the seismic hammer is freaking sweet, and I really like the mechanicus feel you've given it.

**KingCracker**

I think is just a bad ass dred. Plain and simple. Clever work and it looks really nice to boot!

**SagesStone**

If the part with the upside down skull is the hammer, wouldn't that make it currently the right way around the way it is being held by the Dreadnought?
I thought that was the top of the hammer.

**floppy**

This is so cool

**Cruentus**

What is the head in the sarcophagus made from?

**Elnicko5**

Nicely done. Love the custom seismic hammer. Id love to see this thing painted up.

**Granesh**

I'm loving this model! Great work! But I'm with Elnicko here, we need to see it painted! What scheme are you gonna do?

**pcon426**

awesome

**Caprosmaster**

Very nice! The head is from CSM squad sprue.

**CaptainRavenclaw**

you win. Now get painting!!

**Ghidorah**

Now THAT'S a Dread. Great work. Not a fan of other race's models on a base, though. Why is he stomping an Ork if you're playing Tau, for example.

On the other hand, I really admire the fact that he's stomping anything at all. It's kind of my forte, too.
Stomping puny human cities and what-not... So, yeah, I have a great appreciation for things stomping other things.

Maybe the dreadnought likes to carry an ork around purely for heroic posing

"ack, cameras.. where is my stomping boy?"

**wyomingfox**

Big O! Its Show Time!

**Salas**

Awesome looking model but the Drill doesn't do it for me, just looks weird in my opinion. But otherwise awesome model ^-^

**Cypher871**

Lovely conversion work my friend, I like the cowling over the CSM's head...what is it from, and is the torso also from the CSM sprue? Just one small point, the arms are the wrong way round. CCW or Hurricanes for the right arm, Seismic Hammer or Chainfisty doodaa for the left...if you wanna be game legal that is.

Still a great job though.

Uh it is actually legal right now.

It doesnt say in the codex it has to be the left or right arms.
