I'm going to buy a forge world dreadnought, but I was wondering if I buy the arms/ weapons on games workshop, will they fit on the forge world dreadnought?

I recently baught a forge world dreadnought and you can fit gw weapons on them but I would suggest buying those from fw too ass they are pretty awesome

The GW ones will fit, but the FW ones are a different shape and are more fitting for the Dred. Also it is easier to have weapon chioces by buying the individual arms when you have time/cash.

Cool, thanks

Also with a few magnets you can arm the blighter with different guns depending on your mode / opponent!

I've thought about doing the magnet thing, problem is I don't know where to get them at a good price and how big of a magnet I would need. Any advice on that part?

Here http://www.first4magnets.com/3mm-diameter-disc-magnets-75-c.asp and probably that size. You could go to larger ones, but I find I have lots of uses for these

Sweetness I'll have to get me some of those right away, thanks for your help

Forgeworld kits usually come with the Games workshop weapons anyway. I recently bought a Vanquisher kit from Forgeworld and they supplied me with all the needed bits to build the model, and ontop of that extra turret and weapons.

I got the TL lascannon and CCW arms from forgeworld, with the black templar venerable. Going to magnatize the arms so I can swap out the weapons as needed, I'm going to get the other dreadnought arms next order
