if you have these kits and wouldnt mind helping, i was wondering if the hands and forearms from the dreadknight could be kitbashed together with the leviathan to give it hands?
i want to model one holding a rifle in 2 hands.

Yes you could, though it would require most of the arm and not just the hands, or you could wait for the 15mm dreamforge claws to be released. Also it's worth noting the leviathan is a little bigger and bulkier than the dreadknight and the arms on the dreadknight already look a little lean compared to the rest of the design so it might look funny on the leviathan if you don't bulk it up somehow.

thanks blade but who knows when the hands will be released and they seem more like claws than hands.

Dont think the claw would really work anyways without major work, just look at the 28mm version, the 15mm will be the same just smaller

It would probably work better than you think, I have a couple of the 28mm version, you would just have to leave the "knuckles" off and probably shorten the claws:

They are highly posable as all of the joints move and the fingers turn, the major draw back is that they are fairly wide and it would probably need to be a big gun. Alternatively you could make the gun a part of one arm and the other hand holding it, or you could probably use Dreadnought CCW hands if you need an "open" hand

i guess a lot of it would come down to what pose you would want the model to have. I tend to lean towards trying to make the claw work just because its the same scale as the model itself, not sure if the DK arms would look weird on the 15mm levi

But it also comes down to when you want to move forward on the conversion. The 15mm claw likely wont be released for general retail till im guessing September
