Sixcyl Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 I just got my dreadknight and was super excited to put it together BUT, I rather dislike the overall feel of the dreadknight and I realized it wasn't so much the terminator bjorn but the over-sized exoskeleton approach. To me, a suit that big deserves internally driven mechanisms, you don't see TDA suits with hydraulic pistons, so why put it on a larger suit? But that's just me. Anyway so I decided to go with a more...dakka themed dreadknight for some over the top ridiculousness, because the concept is already pretty ridiculous so why not go the extra mile. I like to think this dreadknight took a page from the Ork's book and decided more dakka is in fact better. It's still a WIP so there will be more to come but the basic color scheme is more or less done. Let me know what you guys think! I really wanted to shoulder mount the psycannon and psilencer while arm mounting the flamer but was disappointed to see I could only build 2 of the 3 weapons. Not to be defeated I decided to just turn his arm into a flamer. Also, the idea of a retractable sword ala Pacific Rim is awesome to me. He also gets to keep a powerfist which *technically* means I get the 2 weapon bonus, haha. Primed and ready for painting (I use a metallic silver primer/paint can, pita for darker color but generally pretty nice for basic color schemes) Mostly done! Details, highlights, and shadows to do! Any ideas how you might balance this beast out if I were to try and use all three guns? Shoot 2/3 a turn? Lose a melee attack? Both? Other?
