That's how mine was made - although we just used the claws from the Furiouso, and arms were forgeworld dreadought arms which have more 'reach', although we still extended them at the shoulder a little anyway, if only to make a 2 handed thunderhammer look plausible.

i like the idea you've got going there, im really interested to see how this turns out on an actual dreadnought ^_^

Yar - me too!

in the fluff it indicated the weapon is used to breach fortifications so, Im a bigger fan of the pneumatic hammer design.
Not the fallout 3 power fist, which doesnt look powerful enough.

But a similar design as the new GW one, with a more conical stabby section


Though the anthropomorphic (thankyou spellchecker) hammer design does look more bamf and fits the actual model's role as a hth specialist.

What about this?



Only kidding.


Dwarfs have lots of hammers, but none that I know of are the scale you need.

Maybe the drednought could be resting it on the ground? they are OAPs in battle suits after all.

Well.. generally 4 large grinding spike balls that smash into you with the strength of a truck hitting you when its going top speed is going to make you pretty damn dead.... . lets face it, if you get hit by that you are going to be all kinds of dead, there will be nothing left of you but a bloodied smear on the floor.

For the hammer a friend of mine who works for my local store made a iron clad hammer using a sentinel leg (the old one) for the 'smashy' mechanism, and for the hammer he used the land speeder missile pod and filled in the missile hole with green and for the dreadnought shoulder attachment he used the lascannon arm and cut off the las cannon barrels and the tubing.

Hope that helps!
