Conversion of a Dreadknight

Postby Charcoal » Sun Feb 26, 2012 7:20 pm

So i got my first dreadknight today. But what i wanna know is could it be wrong for me to make the front into a dreadnought, seeing how its really a guy in the suit and not a soul in a walking tank? I find the idea would look awesome. I jus wanna know what everyone thinks about that idea.

I'm confused, you want to convert it into a dreadnought or just replace the dude with the front of a dreadnought but still make it a dreadknight?

Yeah, well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

It'll be a tough conversion concidering the fact that the rest of the Dreadknight is much more rounded off armour than the big blocky type the hull of the Dreadnaught is. Im not sure how you would convert this actually....wow...im actually stumped!

I can't see much confusion, the dude doesn't effect wysiwyg and doesn't really alter the size/dimension of the model so I say go for it.

The front of the plastic Venerable Dread is curved, that might be a place to start.

Honestly, I plan to cover up the front bit as well. The terminator hanging out in front just looks too silly.

post pics of the progress!
