Mortarion Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 I just finished a rifleman dreadnought for my Flesh tearers. http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h233/Bulonicus/FT/rifleman01.jpg http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h233/Bulonicus/FT/rifleman02.jpg http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h233/Bulonicus/FT/rifleman03.jpg I wanted to make this at bit more exaggerated then my normal models. Or rather, I wanted to make it realistic in an aspect that is rather overlooked in 40K. While weapons in 40K tend to be gigantic, the usually have quite normal-sized magazines or ammo containers. So I wanted to build a rifleman that looked like it could actually shoot rapid firing weapons for a long time. So I gave each arm a large ammo container and used quite long gun barrels to give it a bit more balance. The first arm (the right one) is made from an assault cannon arm and the quad gun from an aegis defence line, with plasticard for the ammo container and a few spare bitz. The left arm is made from a missile launcher arm to look like the right arm. It took quite som modelling to get them nearly identical. http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h233/Bulonicus/FT/riflemanWIP.jpg It might be a bit over the top, but I think it still works, so I'm happy with it.

Dosjetka Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 As always, stunning work ;) Doesn't look too bad to me either. And I love the freehand on the banner :P Ludovic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mortarion Posted October 18, 2011 Author Share Posted October 18, 2011 Thanks. Although I'm guessing that with over 450 views and only 2 comments, the arms were not that popular... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exonec Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Mortarion: It looks really good, love to see your stuff! The weapons look really bad ass in my opinion. Regarding lack of comments, people lurk around and neglect commenting, I have a bad habit of doing this myself... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiny sam Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 WOW! finally a dreadnought that look like he can fire the whole battle...! that kind of extention should be on the assault cannon and Heavy bolter arms to! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mortarion Posted October 19, 2011 Author Share Posted October 19, 2011 Thank you! @rusty1109: Yes, the arms still attach like regular arms. I'll probably build other weapon options for him in the future. @teku: So far he has performed really well. Great against rhinos and pretty good against dreadnoughts.
