Has anyone seen any news about the new Ironclads or done any conversions?? the only pic i've found is of an autoCAD drawing, which looks cool, but not released yet!!

I'm gonna armour up my AoBR plastic dread, get it all ironclad and stuff...any one else got plans??

**PanzerSmurf**

To be honest I think it's ugly as hell... It should be ironclad, but still I can see exposed cabling >_>...

**CaptainRavenclaw**

Ugly is what a dead guy in a metal shell is meant to look like!! It does look a lot more chunkier than its little brothers. 25 points for an extra point of armour on a dread is so worth it...I think we're gonna see a lot of the ironclad brothers walking the fields of battle.

I disagree. I think we'll (comparably) only see a few Ironclad brothers walking the fields of battle. What I think we'll se a lot of is "Counts As Ironclad" brothers walking the field of battle.

ROFLMAO!!! That would not be funny if it was not soooo true hehehe

Eldar Wraithlords politely differ.

/yeah, wraithbone ain't metal, but it's better, it's Eldar.

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

And it's only their poofy girly spirits anywas. Eldar bodies can't survive a good hoofing. Turn in to Pixie dust you know.

And Wraithbone, until 3rd Ed Eldar codex is meant to have been fairly weedy, hence why their ships in BFG, Titans in Epic etc have been comparatively easily knocked out, once you get past the Wuss...sorry, Holofields!

**CaptainRavenclaw**

Hey hey, some people like that eldar looking stuff...not me. far too much like insects.

I'm definately gonna represent on the table, I'm thinking of building up some extra armour for the top out of card and junk, I wont use the seismic hammer, but I will be using its armour to crump.

It'll be awesome, if only I could fit it in a drop pod!!

**Rymafyr**

Ahhh..can't wait to take out my first IronClad Dread... Dark Lance treats armor >12 as 12

**Breton**

Most of the Ironclad is nice, but I have some issues with the seismic hammer, and already have plans to convert up my own piledriver style seismic hammer arm.

I'm with you on that one, as I too was hoping that the Seismic Hammer was going to be a lot more, er, hammer-like.

Sort of like one the the weapon arm options on the old metal Chaos Dreadnought...

**Aduro**

My mind for a seismic hammer is along the lines of Big O.

**Gavin Thorne**

Go Big O!

I was thinking more like Rumble and Frenzy...

I just want that Hurricane Bolter arm. I want one for each side of my Dread.

BYE

that was the exact same thing i was thinking of when a flgs worker told me about it as well. i heard seismic hammer i was thinking the same style.... then say pics and was like "what the hell is that thing..... oh thats the hammer? hmm...... thats about as hammer as... well somthing thats not hammer looking"
if i ever bought or scratch built one i would make the hammer more hammer looking. and yea im going to LOVE the hurricane bolters. i just love bolters. damn fine weapons

If I come into a left-handed Hurricane Bolter, I will send it to you free of charge if, and only if, you promise to paint it white with yellow legs and sarcophagus.

Speaking of seismic hammer, ever seen Robojox?

*whoooooosh*

That's the sound of that one going right over my head Nurgy. Care to explain the reference to lil' ol' clueless me?

**Kid_Kyoto**

And it still looks like an angry washing machine stomping towards you.

I was thinking of this dude for a dread

The dainty little grabby hand has to go but over all that's one fine piece of metal.

Unfortunately yes. Although in its defence it had a brilliant trailer.

**Prometheum5**

Kyoto, where's is that awesome figure from? That's the perfect base for a Pre-Heresy Dread!

**Kid_Kyoto**

Sorry it's an Urban War/Metropolis Titus something or another.

And check out these exo suits

http://www.thewarstore.com/product37955.html

they're too small to pass for termis (about 20% too small) but they are sweet.

That Urban War robot is Fugly....

Fugly like a fox!

And I mean... have you even looked at this image?

It's a washing machine! With a drying rack of guns on one side and a propain tank with spikes on the other.

**JD21290**

hate to say it, but i love the ironclad pic

looks pretty beasty.

**Steelmage99**

Gotta say, I like it!

**ArgentLupe**

What about the 'pile driver' arm from a Marauder warjack? Seems it might make a good alternative to the Seismic Hammer.

Personally, I want to do a polearm instead of the hammer so I am thinking of using a Furisoso arm and building a glaive out of cardstock and copper tube.

Hey! Nobody calls Marneus Calgar unkrasimatic!

Nurglitch wrote:Speaking of seismic hammer, ever seen Robojox?

Do you mean Robot Jox? If so, then no - NO ONE has ever seen Robot Jox.

But seriously. I had almost forgotten that such a thing even existed. Why would you bring that up? What's wrong with you?
