Description Awaken Oh Dreadknight! man this took awhile but it was sooo fun to paint I recommend picking one up for anyone who plays Grey knights or even if you just collect. Put him in a fairly standard pose, I will hopefully get another dreadknight in the future and make him look a little more interesting.

...how does he control the fingers on the exo arms?

Now this is just a guess...but I am going to say the pilot probably tightens his grip on the control's for a closed fist and then UN-clenches his fist for an open hand...that's my guess at least.

they shoulda made a bigger deal out of that, instead of the joysticks.

While I agree, they are after all called "Nemesis Doomfists" but I would really like to see open hand conversions called "Nemesis Bitchslappers"

Personally I don't like forge worlds "beer gut" dreadnoughts but then again I don't really like gw's either BUT you'd be surprised what a little height can do to make the old dreads nicer like this one [link]

hey, blame forgeworld, not me. i still prefer the exosuit the grey knights get compared to any dreadnaught, but atleast this one is better than the original.

Yah but dreadknights are monstrous creatures and dreadnoughts are walkers so sadly I would not be able to use my dreadknight as a replacement for a dreadnought

really? i thought they were suppose to be the same... uh... "class"?

EspadaMike88 In reply to petrino [2011-08-20 03:47:06 +0000 UTC]

Dreadnoughts carry the disfigured bodies of space marines who can't fight any longer due to massive injuries they received and they are designated as "Walkers" Dreadknights are just warmachines piloted like any other vehicle but are designated as "Monstrous Creatures" the only thing they have in common is the "Dread" title which I can see why it was confusing. when I first saw the Dreadknight I thought it fell into the same category but it is just a robotic suit used to fight the bigger baddies.

This has to be the most BASS ASS mini that Games Workshop has done in a LOOOOOONG time.
If I had the cash to get back into 40K I would be SO building a Grey Knight army and having one of these bad boys!

Great Job!

Sweet work! I like how you made the gattling (with the psycannon and gattling clips). They're so fun to build and paint, but so time consuming!!

Still though, excellent job!

for gameplay purposes, always go for the hammer :3 same initiative, strength 10. But for just collection, the sword always looks bitchin'

Awesome!

I took my Dreadknight's Titansword, shaved off the hand,and gave it to my Dreadnought.
I still meedto shave it down more to make it look better, but my Dreadnought looks twice as badass.

I gave my venerable dreadnought a furioso librarian spear in his doomfist so it looked like he had a halberd, your dreadnought is wicked btw "bill"

That sounds pretty epic! Wraithlords get weapons, why shouldn't dreadnoughts? And thank you! I'm glad you like it! I've actually done a lot of work on Bill since that picture (more painting, a bunch of transfer sheets, etc) I'll be putting up a new picture eventually. Regrettably my painting skills aren't that good yet. Bill is funny, his special character has been accused of not having good grey knight lore, but I made sure I broke no lore rules and left room for the character to actually have a personality.
