Hey guys, I need some help. Very soon I will be comissioning Grytz Minis to sculpt me an Adeptus Custodes army. One part of that army will be a dreadnought. But I wanted to know, what kind of dreadnought would look coolest. Option 1 or Option 2?

Option 1:

Or

Option 2:

 

[bitsandkits]

to be honest im not keen on either of them, option one does not look like a dread and the second one looks like its got mickey mouse ears and the press mould parts look a bit shoddy, sorry matey but wouldnt pay anyone for either of them.

 

[ClassyRaptor]

No no no you got it all wrong. Option 1 is simply a Pre heresy design and by type I meant like that Option 2 is not the one I would buy I simply meant get to to add stuff like that all over the dreadnought I give him.

 

[yanlou]

i voted 1, as it would be nice to see a pre-heresy dread, would stand out quite nicely

 

[Red Corsairs]

I'm not a big fan of either of them either to be honest but it's your army so it's up to you. Out of the 2 I'd pick the last one though. The first option just looks like a big armoured Clank from that Ratchet and Clank.

 

[ClassyRaptor]

Ok, I'm still eager to see what more people think.

 

[fatmantis]

dont worry so much what people think, sometimes people can be to critical, i like the 2nd one just becuase of the gs, and the creativity your showing, i wish i had such skill keep it up

 

[Narik]

I like the second one.

Just to make it clear I didn't make these. Just showing types of Dreads I like and seeing which one you guys like more And I can get it comissioned.

 

[wombat_tree]

Definitely number 2, I really don't like the old tin can Dreadnoughts.

 

[OIIIIIIO]

If it is for the Custodes ... go with option one ... does NOT look like SM at all.

 

[ClassyRaptor]

Thats the thing, even if I went with Option 2 I would be getting it majorly covered over with Custodes stuff. So it wouldn't look anything like anormal Dreadnought.

 

[shaantitus]

I went with option one but allow me to explain. That particular one looks a bit odd. I personally think that the body is too round and too large. However I think the pre-heresy dread would look far better for the custodes. My suggestion is to get the horus heresy collected visions and model the dread off the magnificent artwork contained therein.

 

[Tyrian]

I like the 2nd one from a purely visual point of view but i think the first one is much more in keeping with what you are trying to achieve, i wondered whether you could get some more scrolled body armour on the first one though, if i remember right all of the custodes have the names of the conquered written across their armour in one long continual line, so i'd imagine a dread would have thousands of names!
I also picture the custodes style armour as harking back a lot more to classical plate mail, like the bretonian knights from wfb, so maybe some more flowing/curved armour type plates would be suitable?

 

[humakt]

I went for option 2 as a design option, although a lot of the GS work is poorly executed. The multi melta shoulder pad is shoddy and too heavy and the head does look a little silly. The wings are not wing like enough and would need to be thinner to give the impression of wings.

The first one looks more like a robot from epic days and not really fitting to custodes or marines personally speaking.

 

[ClassyRaptor]

Thank you for your input guys I will keep the thread open for others but I'am leaning towards Option 2.

 

[Lord Reevan]

I think something in between the two would be best. The style of the 1st one, but with blockier plates on it's belly area(the big round bit) and a lot more robes.

 

[morfangdakka]

I picked option #1 just for the simple fact that it would stand out from the rest of the dreadnoughts out there. I think the legs would need to be bulked up but the rest of it makes it stand out more than the other one.

 

[Primarch Lorgar]

second looks damn awsome!:biggrin:

 

[Lord Sinkoran]

the second one is cooler
