There will also be a multi-melta which will become a BT vehicle option. and more customisation options like extra arms (Neophyte holding a helmet), or backpack-mounted candles. There'll also be a conversion/bitz/upgrade sprue that will have Templar relics on it (so-and-so's helmet, the sword of such-and-such, etc.), shotguns for Neophytes. Neophytes will have 2 W and 2 A like other Primaris. The latter will be 5-11 Primaris Initiates, 4-8 Primaris Neophytes, and 1 Primaris Sword Brother. There will be two Crusader Squads: the old one that everyone knows and a new one made up exclusively of Primaris. The Sword Brother kit will have plenty of CC options and the option to make a Marshal (like with the Custodes Warden kit that gives you the option of making a Captain). The Crusader kit will have options for a Sword Brother unit leader with cape, and there's a 15" AP-1 flamer.

We can all find room to improve and a little inspiration can go a long way!įind more of my work and tuts at my blog: If you have some innovative upgrades or twists, please link them in the comments for others to find. Now that you have some ideas, get out there and make those Dreadclaws for your Legions, Daemonkin, CSM and whatever other Lost and Damned souls you choose to fling across the Grim Darkness! Make something that looks cool! Those Chaos symbols are awesome and make me want to redo my pod! He made some great changes to the design and he has a tutorial here covering those changes. Here is another great take on the conversion from A Host of Word Bearers:ĭamn, I really love this take on the design! From there you can add Chaos bits or just freehand paint symbols in later. Those sharp angles made all the difference to me. To make the pod more aggressive, I also shaved the corners off where the points touch the ground. To add those, just take the little fans that you find in the drop pod bits and find a home for them toward the bottom of each petal, where the regular drop pod would have a joint (check the photo above). From here you can just add those little details that make the pod more your own.įor me that meant adding the retro thrusters. If you left the inside of the door petals off of the model, this step is easy, but if you didn't listen, you may need to do some shaving.Īfter one good dry fit, glue the fins into place. They will fit snugly (good thing), the idea is for the corner to catch under the lip made by the turbine bit on the engine housing, the other area you cut should fit snugly into the grove where the fin would normally go on the bottom side. Now take your fins and insert each one into the slots made between each door. Then glue the top corner of each door to the top of each square section from the engine housing that matches each door, leaving the actual turbine above the door (or hull as they now form on the dread claw). Also assemble the engine completely as you normally would with a drop pod. Now glue it together so you have the normal pod petal for the bottom (you don't need any of the bits for the inside as the dreadclaw will never open). (if you fully assemble each petal to include the inside of it, you will have a ton of issues fitting the fins into place). Now assemble the pod's petals with just the outside panels, leaving the inside part on the sprue as you will not need it.
