NightHunters Posted March 30, 2011 Author Share Posted March 30, 2011 Thanks for the comments chaps, Cloud Runner: yeah it works really well, almost full traverse, and if UK based, one taketh one of Her Majesty's finest 2 penny pieces, draws around it and cuts/drills out the inside of the circle. Perfect fit. could not be simpler. Ravendove: Thanks for that, appreciate the honesty, as mentioned before it really seems to be love or hate with the hexagons and trust me, if I didn't have around 4000pts painted up I would certainly entertain switching schemes! Still going to steal your camo cloak idea. Arne: Too kind! FTE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightHunters Posted March 31, 2011 Author Share Posted March 31, 2011 (edited) Just taken delivery of my Dreadknight. Sweet! Kitbash imminent! FTE Edited March 31, 2011 by NightHunters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloud Runner Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 That's deceptively simple and easily achieved - thanks muchly for the pics and advice. Â One last question (for now :)) Â Does the turret cause any interference with the maint turret and does it obscure the vision ports behind it? Â Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warsmith Aznable Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Just taken delivery of my Dreadknight. Sweet! Kitbash imminent! FTE Â Your tanks are pretty nuts, so I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with this. I'm looking forward to seeing any Dreadknights on the WIP forums, actually. The head and arm replacements work better than I imagined they might (they look great, actually), so good on you for having a go at it. The paint is very nice. I'm not a fan of the hexagon design, but I appreciate the execution along with the dedication to the idea (if that makes sense). Your Terminator Lieutenant (I wasn't around in that era, and I've always wondered about that rank not being included) is aces! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightHunters Posted April 3, 2011 Author Share Posted April 3, 2011 Evening all, Cloud Runner, delighted to be of assistance and the good news is zero interferance with main gun, but the right hand vision port becomes pretty redundant. Max: Thanks for looking and indeed for the kind comments And so to the Main event: Quick look at very WIP Night Hunters Dreadnought C&C always welcome, working on a largish powerfist for the left arm, but also tempted by the oversized war scyth, your thoughts.

NightHunters Posted April 4, 2011 Author Share Posted April 4, 2011 So mocked up the fist, thinking the scythe may be more of a statement.... ... if also a little too GunDam maybe. Also really really skinny around the middle not quite convinced I know how to change that yet. FTE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightHunters Posted April 5, 2011 Author Share Posted April 5, 2011 Alrighty then, Build done, detail only to do. Blue tac got a bit soft on the AC arm, final pose will be more like the above Have decided to leave this one as is, and make another with a double handed sythe.....

the jimster Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 really loving the look of this =] looks so menacing rather than games workshops where it look like a grey knight is strapped in like a baby. Cant wait to see this painted as your colour scheme i also somehwhat unique.  Keep up the good work  Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NightHunters Posted April 10, 2011 Author Share Posted April 10, 2011 So, 97% there, still don't know what to do on the top of the Sarcophagus, needs something though, any pointers gratefully received. and figured might as well start the first paint. hopefully more later FTE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightHunters Posted April 10, 2011 Author Share Posted April 10, 2011 And a little more paint... FTE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NemFX Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Targeting sensor would be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warsmith Aznable Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 That looks way better than the production version. Good work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightHunters Posted April 11, 2011 Author Share Posted April 11, 2011 NemFX: Thanks for the direction but neither the Vindicator, Landraider, Predator, Promethius or devastator sensors look quite right, bit too Tau for the big ones and the other ones just a bit too small, keep em coming though! Max: Thanks indeed Brother! And yet more paint..... FTE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightHunters Posted April 12, 2011 Author Share Posted April 12, 2011 First layers on, just about, still good to do the head bone style akin to my Terminators, time to layer up the Hex's, lenses, wash the metallics and then start on the highlights. all of them. And then weathering. Not forgetting the base. I may be some time...... Also decided to Beret up the Seargent for the Razorback squad. Needs a little bit of greenstuff around the band.

Vairocanum Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 awesome paintjob on the dread knight so far, and i like the sergeant head a lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VAGABOND Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 What is that weapon from, is it from a Leman Russ Battle Tank? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminatorinhell Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 That dreadknight is so awesome I did something similar with an old sarcophagus, no head though, but now that I see this, a head would have looked great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somogyi Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 I don't recognize the razorback turrets what are they from? Love the paint job though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightHunters Posted April 16, 2011 Author Share Posted April 16, 2011 Evening all Vairocanum: Thanks man, very kind, your stuff is looking pretty epic as well! Vagabond: Punisher cannon from Forgeworld, designed for their Vulture gunships IIRC, but as it is basically a massive assault cannon I really couldn't say no! TIH: Too kind brother, saw yours too, was looking good, painted yet? somoyi: All the RB turrets use are the Forgeworld items, the Assault cannon turrets are converted from their HB turrets and Finally somebody else likes the paint job! :woot: Quick painting up-date: First highlights on, still need to do the fine high lights over all the armour panels/hands/sarcophagus/script etc and the some weathering.maybe.

NightHunters Posted April 20, 2011 Author Share Posted April 20, 2011 Just a quick update of general Night Hunters goodness 1st of the RB squads (massively wip) with ye olde Dread in the background for effect.(yes, still wip) Cheers all FTE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrannosaurus Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Massive fan of this thread. The hexagons are great, don't listen to the haters :) They look particularly good on the tactical marines. Your scouts are badass with the berets. Finally fantastic DK conversion, 100% better than the GW original. Keep 'em coming! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
