Back when I started my Night Hawk army, I spent a long time thinking about what there Dreadnoughts would look like. As The army was mostly flight based, I thought a flying dreadnought would fit, unfortunately my opponents weren't too happy with a very quick dreadnought that had two heavy weapons with a pair of rending claws. To be honest I can see there point, but what to do with the first one I built, with my recent painting of this project I came up with a new idea, what if I made it into a drone, now this would mean weaker armour than a dreadnought, and also no rending attack as they would be landing claws only, also I thought that having a controller on the board for it would give two ways of taking it out, as if the controller was killed the drone would no longer have any function.
This is a repaint of my original one to bring the colour scheme more up to date, the V is because I have another four of the old advanced space crusade chaos dreadnought to transform into more drones. I have a question which I'd like your opinion on, should the controllers be Servitors, Marines, or tech Marines ? I can see arguments for each so would value your opinion. That's all for today, so until next time stay safe, and have fun !

Ooh getting very strong Terminator vibes from this one, loved those things. Also love getting the models to match the lore, always find it funny when legions who are known for speed ala White Scars would have these hulking, heavy models and nothing specialized for them to fill that role.
ReplyDeleteGreat use of the Space Crusade Dreadnought, it fits in with your chapter perfectly.
ReplyDeleteI'm well out of touch with 40K, but I always liked the idea of Servitors, kind of like the Lay Bretheren in a monastery.
A drone is a cool idea and I really like how you incorporated an eagle into the design too. It looks great painted up in this color scheme as well. I'm not knowledgeable on GW's lore at all so I can't offer any advice there. I would tend to recommend doing whatever you like best and think looks the coolest but that's just me!
