Not a bad mini, but that's all I can think of when I look at it.

The legs are kinda weird though, *very* Warmachine-ish. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/644072/7743070.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/644072/7743070.page GMT The new Adeptus Mechanicus Dunecrawler looks amazing.

I showed my wife the WD a couple of days ago, and she thought it looked like the crab we had on Easter

The aesthetic I'd very different from standard GW fare. Not my favorite, but points for originality, and obviously appealing to some!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/644072/7743086.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/644072/7743086.page GMT Re:The new Adeptus Mechanicus Dunecrawler looks amazing.

The rear end of the vehicle is oddly my favorite part. Curious how it shares some design features with none other than the Chaos Decimator.

Isn't the prices on these new models kind of steep?


Sigh... yes. Having just cleared my 40k backlog, I was dreaming of getting an infantry force backed by a trio of Onagers. I had ruled out the Dragoons as, though I love the miniatures, the price for a full squad plus all the other stuff is way above my purchasing power at the moment. However the holidays have taken quite a toll on my wallet and those tanks are pricey, so I'll have to space out my purchases. It'll be just the codex and two skitarii boxes for now.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/644072/7743119.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/644072/7743119.page GMT Re:The new Adeptus Mechanicus Dunecrawler looks amazing.

I've been kit-bashing two of these into Onagar, and in person the comparison is even more striking. Its a valid, 90% proxy right out of the box, though Dotch Yaga's base is just a bit too large. Rebasing onto 100mm circle-base is easy, albeit with a bit of foot-overhang. :-p

Check, its 2015 I kind of agreed with you on the pointy-leg thing, but after looking at some more of the pictures, they actually DO have alternate feet that are flat, and can be either used or "flipped up" along the legs. Now I just have to think of how to Chaos-ify them for the Dark Mechanicus!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/644072/7743397.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/644072/7743397.page GMT Re:The new Adeptus Mechanicus Dunecrawler looks amazing.

Not all vehicles were made for all terrain. You wouldn't deploy this kind of walker in the desert, though maybe it was made for city/ruin battles....

It's called the "Dunecrawler".

Looking at it from a fluff perspective, I'm sure the AdMech would be able to come up with something better than a Sentinel's "head" over some Defiler legs.

If the kit truly provides more logical alternative feet, I'd go with those without a doubt.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/644072/7743560.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/644072/7743560.page GMT Re:The new Adeptus Mechanicus Dunecrawler looks amazing.

except the defiler had to come from somewhere. I think it's obvious from a fluff POV the defiler started out as a dune crawler. and complaining about a visual resembalance to the sentinal is silly. they're both designs produced by the IoM. some simlarties arent unreasonably.

Keep in mind that the sentinal similarity breaks down once you see a side view of the dunecrawler as well. the cabin is considerably elgongated. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/644072/7743611.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/644072/7743611.page GMT Re:The new Adeptus Mechanicus Dunecrawler looks amazing.

GW, I would just buy 2 Dotch yaga's and be done with it because I love the model. I already have one because I love the model. I just don't know if I could justify it because I wouldn't be able to use it at a GW I sometimes go to to play. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/644072/7743641.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/644072/7743641.page GMT The new Adeptus Mechanicus Dunecrawler looks amazing. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/644072/7743705.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/644072/7743705.page GMT Re:The new Adeptus Mechanicus Dunecrawler looks amazing. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/644072/7745705.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/644072/7745705.page GMT Re:The new Adeptus Mechanicus Dunecrawler looks amazing.

Apologies, I should have said configuration. Anyway, the rhino doesn't have a horn, the fire raptor doesn't have a flame thrower or isn't even made out of raptor skin etc.
