My attempt at making the dreadknight look less stupid.

Be gentle

I like the skyrim-horse aspect you added to it.
Adds in a whole lot of flavor.
>>
>>46359086
To me, it looks too flat. I think it'd be better if it had a sort of hunched look, like the Warhound titan, but I get that that'd probably be impractical in models.

Other than that, claw hands like that left hand are a pre-heresy Imperium and Chaos motif. The modern Imperium really prefers fists.
>>
>>46359086
Don't think the claws fit too well.

I mutilated a tank and used spare parts from a dreadnought and some grey night terminators.
New to it, would've liked to do it up proper with some of that green acrylic stuff but money is always tight and I hated it just sitting in the box.

I would've preferred a fist myself but the ones I have are too small.

I'm open to pallet suggestions
>>
>>46359086
What's the claw?
>>
I'm not crazy about the big plate down the back (maybe it contour it a bit), but I like everything else.
>>
Are the horns too much? Can't decide.
>>
>>46360231
They may be a bit over the top, but, if you stick with them, I wouldn't go any bigger.
>>
The back plate is bad.
The poles sticking out of his left arm are kinda bad.
The shield facing THE SKY on his left shoulder is kinda bad.
The Horns are kinda bad.
The front plates blocking the tiny shields is kinda bad.
The sprue points above his knees need trimming.
The TITAN codpiece looks a bit wonky butit's fine.

6/10
>>
>>46360283
Actually, the more I think about it, I think it would look better without the horns.
>>
>>46359228
It's great except for this fucking plate down the back.

I'd hack that and just greenstuff a big Ole cape, paint it like a tapestry.

You wouldn't have WIP pictures would you? I'm not very interested in doing this myself.
>>
Between as-is, without the horns, and a gk terminator helm.

>>46360337
>I'm not very interested in doing this myself.
I am.

You know what the fuck is meant.

>>46360310
This basically. Although I kinda like horns.

Like any model though, it really depends on the paint job
>>
>>46360200
Clip and file the claws down to make them look more like normal fingers?
>>
>>46359086
>>46359228
Lose the assault ramp. I'm a little unsure about the pointy bits on the head.
Other than that looks great.
>>
>>46359086
It looks like a step in the right direction. The sheet on the back sticks out like a sore thumb and the claw and sword seem a little chaos-y. Not to say they cant fit, but still.
The body looks ace, but I also can't tell where the Marine fits in or looks out of unless it's a "high functioning dreadnaught" thing.
>>
>>46359086
Why didn't you just post in the WIP thread?

Faggot-ass attention whore. Get fucked

Advice. Move the gun to the claw arm, and loose the knobby bits on the forearm of the claw. Unless you are trying to go for a "subtle touch of chaos" look, in which case, keep it.

Another place for the cannon could be on the shoulder opposite of the exhaust pipes.

The horns gotta go. You will probably keep them, but really, they gotta go.

For some next level shit, play around with the horn, and consider replacing the thumb claw with one.

The feet could be made into proper feet by taking the toes and merging them into a more classic boot pattern, then greenstuffing the seams.

Split the very bottom of the assault ramp on the back into strips to give it a more cloth like appearance. Or, if you want to be a giant fucking bad ass, remove the entire back assembly you have, save the top, and use peices of tank track to emulate a cape. Probably lay down three, with one in the middle that is longest, then put two strips of shorter ones down the seams of that row. It will look baller as fuck.

Take the very edge of the tabs on the shoulders, the one with the sword, and the one that is blank, and bend them around to a 90' with whatever to give the appearance of shoulders. Right now with everything that is going on, from the thumbnail I thought you had an ork warboss, then I thought chaos, finally I Saw greyknight.

Final opinion, replace the skull head with a helmet. You already have 3 skulls, and are in danger of making a grimdarkian.
>>
Melt it, buy a new kit, and start the fuck over... Unless you meant to make something an Ork would junk.
>>
>>46368166
damn dude harsh. Not him, but what do you hate about it?
>>
>>46359086
That's a nice Gorkanaut anon. Da Warboss would be proud.

It looks like a fucking Chaos Kytan.
>>
>>46359086
the exhaust pipe doesn't really fit in my opinion, too orky.
>>
>>46359086
Lets see

+really like the banner between the legs, very in line with Imperial designs
+Sword pose is good
+the claw one the hand looks mean maybe a bit too "orky" with the tube thingies on the armor
+like the exhausts, uncommon but not out of place
-I dislke the head, maybe something can be improved with paint, but it should be bigger, or something ontop. This looks like it has a head-shrinking syndrome.
-I simply do not get the backside, would (if I could) sculpt a cloak over it.

Thinking about the tank track cape, seems like a good analog for what I was going for.
Going to put a gk terminator helm on there.

I like chaos and ork styles, head canon was that it was an attempt at making a conduit for Draigo to stay longer or at least appear more frequently. Obviously as I mentioned though I really just hated the base design so I used what I had available.

Posted in WIP, didn't know that was a thing, not a native.

Need color ideas. Thinking black/white chessboard theme with gold. What's a good paint for gold? One I got came out copper.
>>
>making separate thread to post this ugly thing, after not getting enough responses in /wip/

noice

>>46365256
That looks better than the current model.


What did you change?

>>46359086
I think the horns might make it a little too deamon-y, but otherwise it's pretty damn cool

from the bottom up:
>didn't add the other two toes to the feet.
>added banner between legs
>greenstuff'd the torso around the termi body
>added those cords that come with the dreadknight to the torso along with other bits
>took out the things jutting from his back to his arms
>added a church
>magnetized the torso so he can pose while not falling apart
>magnetized arms and gun tips
>and most importantly added more of the off color to draw the eye from all the silver.

>>46359086

I love it.
>>
>>46359086
If it's supposed to be looted then you're doing good. If it's not then you're not.
>>
>>46359086
I like it, but ditch the loading ramp cape, makes it look too stiff and wobbly.
Also ditch the horns, I thought this was Gurren Lagen at first.

The banner is okay, but the placement is odd, perhaps make it drape under an arm?

The claw is cool, but the arm is way too plain to match the legs, and the tesla coils look like trash. Maybe add some random tubes, anything to make the arms more busy, as they look way off from what you're going for

>>46370980

I agree he's a faggot and it's shit, but he made this thread first. You can easily check from the timestamps, but I remember seeing this waste of a thread and then later the WIP post.

But it kind of proves generals are shit. Threads that could potentially go to 300+ replies get one or two and die in a general.

Or maybe he didn't get any replies in the general because he made this thread first, who knows.
