AoBR Dreadnought gets Assaulted!





So i'll be making abother copy of that ^
Thats a previous attempt on the left arm that proved to be successful, however realising that the right arm of the AoBR dreadnought is a chunky melta, i knew i'd have my work cut out for me, what with breaking my bonesaw and also, i'm sure my green stuff has eaten itself.

So. TO WORK!


^
This is what i'll be attaching.
It's the autocannon from the Aegis defence line. I've already cut the turret in half, so now i have two seperate autocannons, but these are twin linked and need to look the part, so i will use both of them.
The arms i'm using are from the AoBR dread!


^
Here i've already severed the main part of the melta gun off
I'll need to cut the cylinders off and the main part of the bottom underslug.


^
Here you can see i've shaved off the melta cannisters, also the pipe connecting the main part of the gun dissapeared a while ago


^
Finally i cut through the bottom of this with an ingenious combination of both a match and a hot xacto knife!
(My bonesaw broke)



^
Here is the assembly of the autocannon that i'll stick on.
I wanted this dread to have the cannons side by side, but the next one will definately have them aranged vertically.


^
And finally, the finished product..well sorta
Before it's painted, it'll get some green stuff action to clean it up, and some wolfy bits stuck on to appease Russ himself.
Also, it'll be stuck on a Metal dread, and i love the weight to the metal models
And the option to put it in a sock and beat an annoying player into submission!!

Cheers
Critique and comments please!
With thanks to my mate
DPBellathrom for existing. xD

none of your pics are coming up, btw.

It's looking really good.

Just a tip: imageshack went anal with their services and will let you hotlink only if you're registered.

Sorted
Sorry had abit of trouble with ye olde photobucket!

It may be obvious to others, but the subtle change (to me) of making the autocannons side by side, instead of on top of each other, really gives the dreadnought a mean looking hunter killer feel.

Job looks good!

Seems like a bit more work than the standard Aegis-looted AC conversion, but I must say the underslung look is pretty badass.

ooooh, cant wait to pop these when with Dlances

nice conversion, I like the underslung look ^^
