I saw this...
... and thought, "Why didn't I do that?"

I always hate Robot legs... and I could have replaced them with mechanical spider legs!!! Though 6 legs would be better.

They would never have bipedal, human-style legs... for (at least) no other reason than they really can't dig in and anchor with those... Any hit hard enough to cause knockback would be an issue... and just general movement is faster and more agile with more legs (also impact hit to the front with two front legs sunk into a hard surface and any type of shock absorption on the two back is not going to cause as much damage especially when it is using them actively to reduce the hit)... and probably no knockback. Also, losing one leg of six isn't as big a deal as one of two.

I think that is what it should look like (but 2 more legs) and maybe chassis covering the lower vulnerable parts where legs join to the body.

That's pretty rad.

depending on the use... I don't really like it.
If it's being played as a Dread, then I just don't like the drastic deviation from the Dread STC.
If it's a Chaos Dread, on the other hand? I'm in.
If it's for a non-standard SM chapter that has a spider motif (or something), I dislike it less... but I'm still not a fan.

I like it for aesthetic reasons (never liked the Robot Legs - especially the 30K ones)... I wouldn't change my old dreads (the legs on those are a little more acceptable), but I would alter my Primarus one that way.

Really haven't decided what to do with all my Primarus stuff... Thinking about starting a new chapter... Maybe Scorpions??? I do really like the Culen Leviathon.

I think Scorpions could rock those legs with no problem.

Lol... I might even figure out a tail mount for some of the top mounted weapons. Yeah, I am talking myself into it.

I would have to figure out a way to also cover the place where the legs come together... I just don't believe that should be exposed.

Oh, but aren't the scorpions the super only explicitly Astartes? Maybe that wouldn't work.

You realize that you could've put all those posts into a single post. Yes?

The little pencil icon lets you edit them.

LOL

Yup... I should have done that... I do that a lot for adds, but for some reason, it didn't occur to me to edit... I think it is the disease of the cell phone text (thoughts not paragraphs)... lol

Point taken though.

Thanks,

It's

All good

Ignore MM

Yup, you have that disease too perhaps... or Canadian comedy... Too much SCTV?

Just for you 3eland -> https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5x0pkj

He doesn't have the disease.
He's a Canadianese @sshole, and is harassing me.
LOL
