I already own three, one of which is a Dread Claw conversion... But they're sitting in the middle east with no hope of reaching me untill long after I move to Austria come August. Bummer. I need four for my 'Ard Boyz Semis list...
Solution?
Paper Pods!
Found some nice templates on the interwebs at the yahoo group BWC. Gonna construct four basic pods with slight alterations to the template to make 'em Claws... Should cost me under 10 bucks total and easily pass for playable models. Paper board seems thick enough to do, but if not I've got plenty of GW boxes that I can chop up to make work.
Still gonna have to buy two more Dreadnoughts for my list though... Then it's back to painting.
Hopefully I place well at the Semis to make all the expenses worth while. Wish me luck.

Some of the paper pod templates that are around build up real nicely, and without real difficulty. When you get your real pods back, the paper ones should be real good for crushing up a bit and turning into terrain pieces.
ReplyDeleteWe have a template for Dred pods on our blog.
ReplyDeleteBy far the most popular post we have ever done.

Thanks Darkangel that's actually very simular, if not the exact same, as the template I decided on using.
ReplyDeleteDarn it, I just found out I can't bring the paper pods to 'Ard Boyz unless they're X percentage GW model parts. Crap.
ReplyDeletecut up some GW boxes, make it from that.

Put a bunch of bling on, like Chapter badges from the Speeder sprues - stuff like that. They'll never notice, lol.
