This true-scale thing has gone too far!!!

JK, that is a great conversion, he really looks like he means business!

**Thortek**

That is amazing.

**Morathi's Darkest Sin**

If GW had done their version like this, I'd have considered a GK army.

Excellent work and follow through, absolutely love it.

**Warpseer**

Makes me think of what a Dreadknight look like if Privateer press made it.

**Trondheim**

Very well done, may I ask what parts you used to achive this look?

**heavybolter**

The only parts that come from another kit are the thigh plates which are leg armor from a dreadnaught. The center chest icon is from a press mold of one of the GK Terminator icons. All of the other armor including the hip plates, additional shoulder plates and the large shoulder pads are scratch built. The groin, shoulder mid plates and hip guards are plasticard. The Shoulder pads are press molded greenstuff from a design for an inquisitor storm shield, then layed down on top of matching plasticard cutouts that are curved. The Head, Chest, giant purity seals and Loincloth are sculpted from a mix of greenstuff and apoxie clay.

Great work followed up by pretty awesome painting. Kudo's to you sir!

**Byte**

Fantastic!

**LordTyphus**

I'm 90% certain that you have created and own the best Dreadknight. Someone give this man a medal.

**Loricatus Aurora**

Outstanding. Well done

**Razz**

This is how a gw kit should be like. Great job man this is just sooooooo cool you hit the spot whit this one

**Kain**

Whoa...that is...absolutely freaking awesome. Kudos to you for making a model that looks like something the Grey Knights would actually use rather than the baby carrier mech.

**juraigamer**

I see we have an actual monstrous creature GK present.

This is what happens when you fuse with your dreadknight, awesome things that is.

**Kronos**

Beast!!

**Teurastaja**

This is crazy awesome!

**gigasnail**

if the original looked like this, i'd buy three, and i don't even play GK. baller conversion.

**azala**

Amazing stuff looks so much more powerful and menacing than the standard model and great painting as well!

**Blazesnake**

Amazing, with the leaning thing just give him a tail

**Tibbsy**

This is the best damn Dreadknight I've ever seen.... Love it!

**Cottonjaw**

This is the single best Dreadknight model improvement I've ever seen. This is a high bar for all conversions to look up to. Well done.

**dicewar**

Great model, much better than the standard look. I disagree with the guys that dislike the pose. It looks like he's sprinting/charging, a pose you don't normally see on big machines. Adds to the model by setting him apart from a "normal" dreadnaught IMO!

**McNinja**

This is better in every single way than the GW version. Fantastic job.

**Arm.chair.general**

Fantastic! The best dreadknight I have seen by far!

**LutherMax**

I'd love to see this photographed with some infantry models for scale - when I first saw it it took me a moment to realise it was a Dreadknight - I thought it was a Termie!

**mayfist**

This is what the actual model should look like

**oadie**

Fantastic! Love the feel of the build and the painting is spot on.

My one nitpick is the edges of the sculpted pieces - they're just not quite as crisp as the plastic parts. I might consider using a firmer putty for the bits to be cast, over-building slightly, and taking a file or sanding block to them to refine the edges. The general shape is great, so if you can match the sharpness of the stock parts' edges, the conversion bits will incorporate completely seamlessly.

**Earthbeard**

Bloody brilliant work.

**Henners91**

Incredible.

**baseballclu**

Finally, a great conversion that doesn't look like a robot carrying an angry baby. The regular model looks like an angry baby carrying robot.
