I wen't down yesterday to se the new models and I have to say, that the Dreadknight is so over the top awesome! So dynamic and intimidating. I totally agree that the first blurred pictures made it look ackward, but in real life, it is a winner - no doubt about it.

i want to daemon it up for my upcoming soul forge army, and my friend wants to make it into an iron warriors daemon prince too. if they won't share it, then we'll bloody well take it from them.
Life becomes so much more tolerable when you finally admit that it's all part of Tzeentch's plan.

Agree 100% however to me the model looks corny and yay how many years we gotta wait til every marine army is stomping around in some new armoured body suit, maybe in a couple years they'll have gundams. Originally Posted by BuFFo

Thanks madman but I meant to the youtube vid.
I saw one in real life today- it was a little smaller than I imagined but it was only partially assembled.
The powerpack on the back is very similar to a Dreads- same style smoke stacks. Curiously it had a mechanium skull symbol on the back which seems counter the fluffMore Necromunda please.

Well, even if you're not into that model, there are definitely some new and fun units to play around with.
Now, as an Ork player, I see that model and really, really want to loot one.

so, a marine decided to train in how to pilot an exosuit.
Did someone at GW watch Avatar and go 'ooh hey, let's do that!'?

function over form?
It's a perfect example of that old saying "function over form" - The Dreadknight looks pretty damn cool, but for overall feasability, the Drednought is a bit more realistic.
When the Ordos were designing this thing someone said "Hey guys! I gotta great idea! Lets stick the driver on the OUTSIDE!" A large rocket to nearly anything on this sucker would most likely kill the driver instantly. Imagine if the driving controls for a tank were all on the outside.
Love the model, looking forward to converting one into a Deff Dred, but overall, a very silly concept.
