Hey guys, i want to use a dreadnought in my army, i dont know yet how.

The point i want some advice is about the legs. When i look at the dread i just dont see a good walking tank, but a boxy thing with few to none manouverability...

So, what you guys have done to overcome this look? I want ideias on how to make my dread look like a walking tank who can actually run...

Thank you all for this

Well it is a walking TANK.

Waddling, really.

Use a contemptor dreadnought?

I rather like the effect of the Sentinel legs with dreadnoughts, but it raises them up quite a bit if you use all 3 sections.

I found that just using 2 sections gives you a nice height (i.e. the Viking on the right), but you might need to do some surgery to join the relevant joints together on the upper thigh.

Those sentinel-naughts look amazing. Must... Resist... Urge... To Plagiarise...

Kudo's on making a starcraft2 viking

Thankee kindly. The viking and goliath were great fun. More in my dakka gallery

I'm not even going to resist. Flinty consider yourself plagiarised. Email me any royalty claims for signing and instant approval.

I nicked the design from Blizzard anyway... knock yourself out (just post pics before you slip into unconsciousness, though )

Lots more pics and wips in my Terranwing blog (he says modestly :p)
