I made a techmarine dreadnought-

The local GW is having an event all throughout this month titled "No Guns no Glory" or something to that effect. The big gimmick is that we can have as many "mercenary units" as we like. The mercenary units are a bunch of them that they made up, but we have to model them WYSIWYG, which basically means we are going to have to make a bunch of models that look cool, but at the end of the month will be basically useless except for a few in store events every now and then. But that's okay.

Anyways, one of the options was a Technought, a techmarine dreadnought. I'm quite satisfied with my work, though he looks a bit goofy in my opinion.

Here he is:


His hammer is made from one of the objective markers that came in the Battle for Macragge starter set, as well as the bit that connects the siege shield to the vindicator in that kit connected to the arm using one of the "lids" that goes on a vehicle's hatch.

This servo-arm was made with random bits from the vindicator as well as what I'm assuming is an old chaos Dreadnought claw. It took a bit of imagination to get this together.

I also put a space marine's body and head into the face, I thought it would look neat. The process of cutting the faceplate off scared me at first but it turned out quite well I think!

Finally the conversion beamer. I made it using the dread's multi-melta arm, the bullet that hangs off of the back of the vindicator, and some random bit I had. The other side of the arm (the part that attaches to the dread) stuck out a lot, so I stuck the base from that objective marker I used the rest of to cover it up!
