so... marines have THREE plastic dreads, and Chaos has zero? Seems about right.

I thought GW put in the fire frenzy rule so people would never complain about the lack of a plastic Chaos Dread?

There's a better pic of the Ironclad on Warseer from Games Day Baltimore.

is that hard to actually post the pic instead of the link?

It's not my bandwidth to post, thank you.

When is that coming out!!!!! I want on now !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! INFO please

In a month or so, when Planet Strike comes out.

I only dislike the Hunter Killers and the Melta hanging off the bottom of the Hammer, everything else looks fine.

It's free.

So? Is clicking a link too much work? Next time, I won't bother posting it at all if people don't like the fact that I posted a link instead of a pic.

Sounds like someone doesn't know how to use the image tags and is trying to mask it .

Sadly, that Pic made me decide that its nothing but FW dreds for me from now on....

I like the DCCW, it looks beefy. The rest is firmly Meh. AOBR dreads with a little extra bulk will be just fine.

Seismic hammer is rather phallic.

of course the fists are huge....its built for a siege man! they gotta have something big and heavy to break doors down.

Alot of people, myself included, don't want to click a link to another site. I come here for my news, and that should be enough. There is nothing wrong with that, so chill bud.

i wasnt too impressed by the pic... however seeing it in person ive changed my mind. Ill be getting at least 2 of these now.

Hmmmmm, I gotta say, I am not overly impressed with the model...in fact , I think some of the site regulars conversions are far better. Some of this may be because of the angle the picture has been taken at...the one in the Games Day pic looks a little better. To my mind the model does not look 'armoured' enough for the role it is meant to play and as others have already said, the auxiliary weapon placements on the arms don't really work...better to have them underslung on the bottom of the sarcophagus same as a MKIV Dread.

I had envisioned the seismic hammer to be a piston driven item as well...I have fond memories of a really tacky 80's film called 'Robot Jox' where the Russians and Americans were slugging it out in huge bipedal war machines...the Russian bot has a piston driven fist and it knocks the heck outta the American one...really cool scene...ahem, I digress!

The CC arm is too oversized for my liking, they would have been better going with the Furioso design. All the other options are just that I guess...options. GW, in the pursuit of stream-lining their business are to release ALL kits with ALL options I believe, starting with the IG Sentinals, so I guess the kit will come with a full option spread.

I may buy this kit purely for the optional bitz but, like many others will probably convert an AOBR dready or take a FW model...the standard MKIV looks almost made for the role IMO.

My guardians of the covenant will be overjoyed to have 2 of these bad boys guarding the gastes to hell

Might also get 1 for the sand tigers (CSM) to play with

Eugh, horrible. Another fugly SM figure, 'grats GW!

sA

*prays to the emperor that the Ironclad and Vulkan models launch at the same time so he can build his first tourney army.*

Yeah they are basically the same for armor.

I think the size of the hammer and dccw is putting people off. It has the extra armor up front, but it needs some more. It's armor 13 on the sides so it should be beefier on the sides.

well I dont play Space Marines, but it looks great.

I am kind of jealous of the Space Marines. When was the last time the Necrons had a new mini sculpted? 3rd Edition?

Does no one else think it looks like its carrying a sex toy seriously.

Of cource having a right arm ccw now means that furioso type dreds can be fielded by those less proficient at converting and without needing to buy from FW for those that have difficulty buying from overseas.

It also gives if nothing else, another sacophagus variation for a normal dred. This just has heaps of conversion possibilities.

All it takes to make a dred chaos is to paint chaos symbols on it. If chaos players want more then most should have access to the chaos vehicle accessory sprue which gives them spikes etc.

I love the arms especially the extra big fist arm, but I'm still undecided about the 'Tau-esque' armour plate design. The melta doesn't look too bad, just perhaps shorten the space between it and the fist, or mount it elsewere as has already been mentioned. On the whole I really like this model although the hunter killer missiles look awful, they definately wont be being put on my Ironclad.

Is there an official launch date? Also I've heard they plan on releasing a few other models at the same time as the ironclad.
