I thought of something like a "helpdesk" where we could run occasionaly and look or post things that would make our lives easyer (e.g. bitz refference catalogues, blank army templates, etc.). I'll start over by posting a set of Banner templates that you can use to print out and paint them so you can add them to poles and sticks... well you'll know what to do with them :)

So, I needed a banner for my chaos dreadnought (the old metal dreadnought) that would speak the unholy words "TALK TO THE HAND" while the behemoth protrudes it's dread cc weapon to the enemies.

The full template:



The fixed dread banner:



They are at the right size, so don't worry. Just print them and use them right away.

Can we have a picture of the dread' when it's done?

Looks good,
MM

Darn, I was wrong, I soulda posted this at the general painting and modelling. Sorry mates, if a mod could re-locate this. MM, sure, I'll post it :P

I moved this to templates and tutorials as I feel it's a bit more fitting for the purpose of this thread. ;)

Wonder if any of you gents can help me??

I have recently come into possession of a 2nd hand dread..Free.

PROBLEM....IT HAS NO LEGS!!

I can sort out the body, the lascannon arm and the cc arm, but the legs or lack of are causing me a problem. So if any of you scratch building Dynamos out there can help me out I will be very grateful.

cheers peeps.

i have seen an awsome conversion once, it was top half dread- bottem half was based on a smaller scale tank, so it was tracked. i will see if i can get a picture (its in local store)

Mmmmmm, now theres a thought, a trak based dread.

Looking foward to seeing this picture.(scurries off back to drawing board).

Ill post up a Vallejo Game and Model colour to Games Workshop comparison colour chart later if i can find it, if people want it.

Use the top half as an objective marker, shot up and waiting to be salvaged, would look cool!

Digits: just what i was about to suggest ...

Perhaps convert it so part of its chest is open, revealing a crewman [zombie] chained to the inside ... while all the time, the enemy approaches, slithering forwards on their vile xenos tails ...
