I built this using sentinal and tau crisis suit bits i also used various cadian and ork bits with copper wire.
I think its a bit cooler than the normal ork deaf dredd

Some more pics

Cool idea, but the ork doesn't look like he is really welded in there. The gap between his torso and the plate he's riding on is a little distracting. I would fill it in with green stuff and run some cabling in to his body in a bunch of places. Make it look like he is really bolted in to the machine.

yer i think your right on the gap.this is my first attemp at scratch building anything so im pleased im goin to add more wires throm the node to the dread

much better then the normal.

IMHO it is more of a killerkan then a deffdread.

still the idea is very cool and the execution is good...

Hey its really simple to make ill wirte a set by step and its cheaper than deaf dread

Hey i am changin dis 2 be my killercan and im doin a defilar conversion for me dreadnaught

im also lookin for a copy of the new ork codex if any 1 has 1 4 sale who can ship to uk

Nice idea. I like it
Two quick notes...

1) How did you get him to stand sideways like that? Magnets? LOL

2) MOLD LINES!!! AAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This conversion looks pretty cool, but you have GOT to get rid of those mold lines. Mold lines RUIN models.


Eric

Nice. Kinda looks like the Ork equivalent of a Soul Grinder.

"Soul Masha!"

Thanks for the posts and i shall get rid of mold lines also to make it stand like that i glued it at an angle bt i am yet to the gap
also the soulmasha sounds kwl hope you dont mind me stealin it!!

Well, it it a nice idea. Altough I find it to small for a Deff Dread. The flamer looks nice, but somehow, I can't imgaine that guy to have Dreadnought Attacks. Maybe you could give him a nasty claw in place of the slugga.

Firstly, let me say that it's conversions like this that inspire me to make my orks more unique. It's all good to me, except i think it shoud be more beefy, not sure how. maybe like, extra armor plates or something?

I would consider him a cybork warboss, he is too squishy to be a dred.

I dont like the model for two reasons. first because the torso needs to be a lot more platey, though you can fix that.

Second because his dred CCWs are in fact a single choppa powered by meat. This ork needs a waldo with something choppy on it to justify the S10. At a minimum you could get away with a power klaw.

Fix both of these points and your model will be greatly improved.

Thats awsome this has inspired me for my next deff dread

Personally, I think the squishy torso is part of what makes the model so cool - although maybe because of that the model should be considered a Mega-Armor nob or Cybork warboss rather than a Kan of some kind.

The lines and tubes coming into his torso are very organic - I dig 'em.

You could have both. Add a semi circular plate around the torso, add dags/teef around the lower rim but keep the upper rim bare. The plate should come up to just below the shoulders.

The advantage of this is that you see the wired torso detail beneath and the hwead and arms on top, but your ork is nopw armoured. One of the factors of ork armour is that ther plating is all or nothing. Some parts are heavily plated, others are bare flesh.

I still think the left arm should be strapped to a waldo, using the choppas grip as the handle.

Thanks for the comments i am ordering the uge choppa from the warbikers to make him look more like he has a strong attack

nice model, are you going to do more to the base. a little grot apprentice would be cool.

double post, woops

Hey yes i will do more to the bass im also going to build a defilar conversion useing thraka

model looks good and some flame coming out of the flamer would look cool as well, just an idea.

Alrite ive made some changes firstly ive added more armour,ive also added the big choppa from the nob accesory sprue,also with an idea from one of the gw guys who said i needed anover ccw i added the huge spear from the warboss box set shal pos pics today

Here it is reworked

Nice use of hair for the famels but I am not sold on the staff pike thing I agree it needs a power dlaw or somethting big use the claw off the defiler I would say that is big enough lol =P

I would almost just glue the torso with head in the walker, nix the orc arms completely.

the axe looks kind cool lol

Im thinkin of using the huge axehead from the wfb warboss sprue for my wolfmen leader

IDk its your model but I say the claw would look best then you can also mount the flamer to the claw
