VART Assignment

I thought i would begin documentation of my work here,
for the first Visual Art Assignment. Basically the task was to model a robot. I choose the warhammer 40 000 series, dreadnaught. I revised it three times, till now, well actually alot more times, some undocumented. SO far i have put in more than 8hours on this project.

Dreadnaught Proto
This is the most earliest primitive design of the dreadnaught. There is no detailings yet, it's main design was to recreate the based off design in it's early stages. Basically it lacks any sort of functional weapon and can only be used in melee combat.

Dreadnaught Model T
The following is the first version of my dreadnaught.
Well, from the first design, the most difficult to model is the legs, at this time, the legs are very stubby and the design is basically flawed. the shape on the far right that was left out is supposed to be part of the robot which eventually is scrapped. There is extensive detailings yet in this version.











Dreadnaught HV-MKI
The next version is the hellfire variant. Which i call the Dreadnaught HV-MKI. This version is similar to the legacy version, but it has an added rocket pod which houses the Hellfire Tridant Missile. It can carry up to 6 in each pod, which altogether houses 8 missiles. The missiles are all tipped with an advanced Uranium-Helium combination which makes it even more deadly. The missile beside the variant is a blown up version. Notice the tilted angle of the fletches, it's designed to spin the missile while airborne.

Nope, i have yet to remodel the legs.


Dreadnaught HV-MKII
The most recent version is the Dreadnaught Hellfire Varient MKII. Finally i remodelled the legs. It now has more stronger stabability thanks to the new neuron fluids injected directly to the appendages. During battle tests, the previous versions worked well under urban conditions, but on planets that has a high volume of vegetation the dreadnaught would tip over and the space marines would have to pick it up and set it right again. The latest variant would make it almost unstoppable, with the latest advanced pure Itanium shielding and cybertronic neuron stabability systems
