I want to make a leaner, quicker looking version of a dreadnought, does anyone have any suggestions as to how this can be accomplished?

Sentinel legs, crisis suit body with dread face plate, and dread arms maybe?

Sentinel legs certainly help, but you will end up with much taller dreadnoughts by using them. No bad thing perhaps considering the foolishly stumpy things on the normal dreadnoughts

Here are 2 of my non-standard dreds by example.

Those look really good! The normal dreadnaught legs are a little stupid when you think about it - there's no way they'd work!

Those Dreads look really cool! An you can always shorten up sentinel legs by cutting them a joint short.

I like the one on the right! the one on the right! The one on the left is good too, but it has been REALLY heavily modded, it looks more like a Sentinel with a few dreadnought parts than a dreadnought with a few sentinel parts...still good though!

Anyways, This is good advice, I'll try to make it work.

With a little work I think I "normal" dreadnought can look quite dynamic. Here is a conversion I did a while ago;



Personally I am interested in taking the dreadknight legs and pairing them with a dread torso and seeing what comes out.

theres a new dreadnought torso on forgeworld that looks a little more human scaled that looks interesting (and a little bit like a giant robot)

I have seen people lengthen their standard dreadnought legs on here before and that looked good.
