Update 06/5/13

its a trailer update, This is how I am going to take this beast to the carnivals and the N.E.C gamesday.

Paul

I really think the trailer should be done up as a rhino, or at least a drop pod. Standards are slipping...

A dreadnought with a devonshire accent!! I think this is how I shall imagine all my dreads now

This is REALLY coming along. Very cool so far. That looks incredibly heavy so weather it is or not, good job

Update 12/5/13

Today I have been working on the legs for the Dreadnought

Here are some photos of the progress, more to do here.

Paul

An amazing and ambitous project, great work so far, look forward to seeing more.

Nice one. Loving the speaker system.

Update 17/5/13

Keith has been working on his costume for the carnival

Tech priest backpack nearly done

Paul

Subscribed cant wait to see the finished product

That's a mighty fine servo arm

It is, they will not miss the tech priest in the carnival that's for sure.

Serious leg armour going on there. Can't help but think it could be a mighty uncomfortable stance you'll have to adopt when the other leg is also encased. I expect though that you'll have a real cool looking walk / shuffle which will give the impression of a massively heavy, lumbering machine...

Oh, and the servo arm and backpack is looky great...

You got the idea Ruglud, there are no flies on you mate.

Update 18/5/13

More of the kids costumes came today, they are still in there raw form.

Adaptions need to be done for there scout costumes.

As the carnivals are fast apon us I took the girls down the park to practice there army movements/routne for the carnival.
The girls will do cover tactics as they move though the carnival scouting out the enemy, they Enjoyed themselves in the process
and the dreadnought is there for support and leadership.

Some pictures of the would be scouts below

paul

Awesome

This is....awesomeness! Well done and subscrib

Not fair - you got blue skies

What do scouts have on there shoulder pads please?

Left: Chapter badge.
Right: Unit number or unit insignia. Ultramarine scouts would usually have a roman numeral.

Update 19/5/13

Rear of the trailer has been completed

paul

Gloriously daft

I wonder if you should work your reg number into it elsewhere so it's like the dread's reference number?

Hah, that's excellent. Following that down the M4 would be cool

Update 20/5/13

The right leg has had work done adding the symbol to the leg

next the rim needs to have gold rim and lights installed then onto the left shin

Paul

Some people stop at wearing a sheet to be a ghost. You my good sir, hear "Make your own costume...Itll be FUN!" and create this

I have been looking on the internet for options for the top centre of the dreadnought.
I know there are now 6th edition rules.
What options does a Ultramarine dreadnought have in the 6th edition rules?

The reason why I ask is because I would like this dreadnought to be correct and what a table top player
would be able to field in a game.

All hail the emporer

Update 21/5/13

Leg update...

Here is a drawing of what i am going to try and make.

As we humans do not have wide hips like a dreadnought we have to come up with something else.

Berring in mind I have to walk 3 miles wearing this costume in at least one of the carnivals
this is what I have come up with.

Paul Lugg

Update

This morning I put the lights in on the right leg light cups to be added.
they will look like panel bolts.

Paul

Legs are looking great! On the pics, the first one is a magna clamp, the second smoke launchers, and the third a searchlight.

An Ultramarine dreadnought has a searchlight and a smoke launcher. Besides weapon swaps and possible extra armor upgrades, that is your gear. The grapple thing and extra missiles are for other types or chapters' dreads.

Imperial smoke launchers look like 3 beer cans set in an arced row. The one pictured is a chaos version.

Relevant to your build, these are the Codex: Space Marines Dreadnought options.
Dreadnought & Venerable Dreadnought:Ironclad Dreadnought:
As to the images:
The first is a Death Company Dreadnought from Codex Blood Angels:The pictured DC Dread has Blood Talons, a Storm Bolter, Meltagun and a Magna Grapple.

The second image is a Tzeentch Dread with Twin-Linked Lascannon, Missile Launcher and Smoke Launchers.
The Bit on top is a Chaos Smoke Launcher bit.
The loyalist version is pictured here:


For the third - yes, it's a Searchlight with two lamps. an alternate model to the one below.
