I wouldn't allow it. It's about 25% smaller and the wrong shape compared to the real warhound.

Titans should something you put a huge amount of money, effort and love into to make something that looks amazing on the Tabletop

I think the Dream Forge Leviathan looks amazing. Just look at Bladeiai's post. That clearly took a lot of effort and love.And the Leviathan is still expensive, around $120 IIRC for the larger version.

Though it would be more appropriate for a Knight Titan than a Warhound. When this thread was started, Gw hadn't yet released the rules for the Imperial Knight Titan. Dreamforges Titan is more expensive than GW's too.

I have never had an issue getting either of mine into a game as anything I wanted to play them as, but except for rare occasion I have always used them as knights, as that is what I wanted them to be from the get go.
This is my second knight in case anyone wanted to see a Mortis version

While that was a massive thread necro, I'm gonna reply anyways:
I own a DF leviathan for use as a warhound. He's mounted on a 2/3" high piece of scenery, making his total height about 11". Also, when someone has a problem, I just put out the arms at 90 degrees to compensate for any difference in width.
In fact, I'd forbid someone from using it as a knight before I'd forbid someone from using it as a warhound: it's closer in size to the latter, and people were using it as warhounds before the knight rules were released.

I've only ever had one person complain about my use of it as a warhound, "coincidentally" the person who owns an actual warhound. While I understand his problems, I firmly disagree.

I would have no problem with using them as a war hound, they are close enough and look awesome.

Spoiler:

Clearly you have not put in enough effort.

No one noticed the 6 month thread necro?

This is a good conversion option for the Khorne abomination. The torso from the Khorne thing and the kegs from a 15mm leviathan.

This conversion only makes the penis cannon all the more obvious.

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Still beats the original model tho

Thats not a cannon, its the waste ejection port.

The Dark Mechanicus priest who designed it had a lot of long frustrated nights with the missus.

That literally the dumbest conversion model I 've ever seen, IMO.

That's probably because it gives the distinct impression of being photoshopped.

This conversion is far better.



The feet could be better though. And the legs need more...embellishment.

Wow. That looks boring as hell. I'd walk out on that game.

Also, this model IS sexy and was fun as hell to paint and model. People that say otherwise have different opinions than I do.

hehe i think i have something similar im just not sure about the mars pattern turbolaser, needs a little chaosification otherwise very nice


Edit: realising i posted in here a while back i have a new thing to ask

how do these models size up next to the new Imperial Knights?

also the bulk on the WH is much more than that of the dreamforge model, but if you want to put the effort in to make it the same sizes then sure go ahead. on the it shouldnt be allowed for the spammy cheapness, well.... if your taking one and doing the extra work that shouldnt be too much of a problem, people can and do understand you cant afford the real thing but put the effort in and 90% of the time you will get away with it. now if your taking 3 or more of them as warhounds cos its cheaper and you can spam it. NO.. thats unfair

Still has a crotch cannon

Looks more abdomen than crotch to me on this one.

The Khornemower is definitely a horrible model, but giving it legs is so much better than leaving it with those ridiculous tracks. *If* I were to do it (I won't) I'd try to remove the ahhh... torso cannon, and shoulder or wrist mount it maybe.

Awesome work on the Mortis Blade!
