dex_911 Posted August 9, 2018 Author Share Posted August 9, 2018 Thanks fellas! Bjorn - That's the actual flamer from the metal terminator kit. I reckon it looks quite nice! I only thought i would do a few hours today...turns out I got into a groove and completed this handsome looking fellow: Lighting seems a little dull in these..I will try and retake them and show an army photo to date soon. Cheers! Dex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WAR Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 that terminator Chaplain is pretty sweet. I think he honestly looks better in GK colors than standard black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Antio Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Thanks mate! The hammer is from the deathwatch kit. It's perfect because it's designed to be wielded in 2 hands nd it has those small inscriptions just like the grey knights have on their armour. Can I ask, cos I’m looking at something similar, Did you just use the DWhammer with the hands attached or did you swap the hammer head with a GK weapon? Wasn’t sure how well TDA and PA hands matched up. Do agree that that’s a much more intimidating hammer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dex_911 Posted August 14, 2018 Author Share Posted August 14, 2018 Brother Antio - I did the following: 1. Cut the head off the deathwatch hammer 2. Use the grey knight arms which are designed to hold a 2 handed helberd. 3. Cut off the pole arm of the helberd from either side of the terminator hands. 4. Use your left over bits from the shaft of the thunder hammer to fill the gaps. - If you mess up cutting the right size, don't worry, just use shaft from the demon hammer in the kit to re-cut. So you have 2 chances here :) 5. So essentially it's 3 pieces. Bottom shaft, middle shaft and the head of the hammer on top - and just line it all up. 6. I have said shaft and head too many times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Antio Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Was just thinking that as you got to the last bit! Ha ha, ok. I’ll get a few and give it a go. Problem is I’ll have to try and sort something so that a GMNDK with a hammer matches... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dex_911 Posted December 9, 2018 Author Share Posted December 9, 2018 Update time brothers! It has been a while, but I have continued to work on the army! Today's update is a special one. I have converted my own Grand Master of the 8th Brotherhood - Khyron. I stumbled across this interesting lore analysis about the possibility of the original grand master of the 8th being a night lord. I liked it so much I decided to make my own. I knew I wanted a menacing pose with a unique weapon fitting of night lord heritage. I originally tried bending the shaft of the helberd to make it look like those chain glaives the night lords used to use, but it looked weird. So I went with a double headed glaive instead. Looks menacing i think and it counts as a soul glaive in game. "And that was the last thing the daemon saw..." Hope you guys like him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pearson73 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 That's a great pose (and paintjob) on the Grand Master. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waking Dreamer Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 I can easily the Halberd conversion as the Soul Glaive. With the relic's rules of re-rolling hits and re-rolling wounds I can see the GM fluidly striking the opponent with both blades as he flawlessly spins the Halberd during combat!

dex_911 Posted December 12, 2018 Author Share Posted December 12, 2018 Thank you brothers! Waking Dreamer - Spot on my man. That's exactly what I was thinking! I'm glad you were able to see it too :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wakkomaster Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 This is an awesome thread! I like the conversion on the DreadKnight, but the Grand Master is superb: you combined the different bits to create a natural pose, like they were meant to be assembled like that. Kudos.

dex_911 Posted December 27, 2018 Author Share Posted December 27, 2018 Thank you for the kind words brothers! The army is almost finished. With the points drops in chapter approved I was able to add a few more units, so let's start with what I am working on at the moment: My second dreadknight has been assembled and is on his way to being painted. Of course I took what I learnt from my first converted dreadknight and upped it here to get even more movement out of the model. I hope you guys like him! I will post when he is finished and then give you an army shot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wakkomaster Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Kudos for keeping the Dreadknights as they are instead of swapping parts to make them look like Dreadnoughts. And awesome pose too. I understand they're not for everyone, but I prefer them "as GW made them". I think the concept is awesome, though I admit myself the execution is not spot on: you can see glimpse of what they're meant to be in a couple of illustrations of the old Grey Knights codex (V/VI edition), where they appear to be something more like the Centurion warsuits, with the terminator resting somewhat inside the exoskeleton rather than hanging on to it. If GW could redesign the Dreadknights now I'm sure the'd pull it off better thanks to the new techs available. Anyway, sorry for the rambling… what was I saying? Oh yes - nice posing! Can you give a few pointers on how you got to this result? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BetterOffShred Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 I also prefer the models as is. They have grown on me over time. The kits are somewhat difficult to alter as far as the poses go, so kudos to you sir for this fine pose! I made one running with his leg in mid stride, and it was difficult to get the hip socket to glue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 I wouldn't mind a closed cockpit for the NDK, however I don't like the Dreadnought/NDK fusions at all either. It just doesn't look right imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wakkomaster Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 I love the Dexter's Lab-esque design of the dreadknight. It's the ideal for playing dodgeball against demons, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dex_911 Posted January 17, 2019 Author Share Posted January 17, 2019 They are the possessed series of bases from Micro Art studio. Stay tuned guys, I am waiting for a new dreadknight base to arrive and I just finished painting up my champion as the final piece for this army. Photos soon!

Panzer Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 tfw you can't use your MicroArtStudios bases anymore because they haven't updated their range with GWs new base sizes yet (like the 90mm round base for Redemptor Dreads). ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Sweet colors on them all. Makes me want to touch up mine. The DK pose is very impressive, I might steal a bit of it for my GMDK. Love the bases too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
