I'm getting a Dreadnought soon, but its missing one of its feet bits. Would a Dreadnought powerfist make a suitable replacement?

If you're willing to spend 4.25, http://bitzbarn.com/oscommerce/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=5895

Dreadnaught feet can be had for pretty easily from ebay bits sellers as well.

Yeah, I was just seeing what I could do with what I have. Buying one may be the easiest option though

If it's a chaos dread, go crazy and use anything vaguely footlike, or even a wheel or track or tentacle - hurrah for mutation!

But for a loyalist dread, I suspect anything but a proper foot is going to look weird.

Hmm, just possibly you could model it as being up to its ankle in rubble, e.g. having just knocked over a small wall?

Give it a pegleg?

Or use the left and right toes of the existing foot to make front and back toes for the missing one.

I vote for pegleg. And a patch over one optical sensor. And a parrot.

The great thing about space marine vehicles is that they are all angular and boxy. This makes repairs with plasticard/styrene really easy.

you could draw a template with the remaining foot onto 3mm thick styrene and just shape it with a small hobby file.

Ahem, servo-parrot!

I feel an Inquisitor coming on...

Pirate peg leg!!!!!!!!!..arh jim lad........

Or you could basse it to have one leg deep in mud or something. and in that manner not have to worry about the missing foot

Or model a Tech marine making a field repair.

Or battle damage the rest of the leg, and put a little sign on the base saying “Warning: Minefield"

Glue a My Little Pony head to the top of the dread. This will draw attention away from the missing foot.
