Well with 2 dreads I don't need, and with a powerful need for firepower in my BLOODzerker army I find myself thinking of making Obliterators out of them.

Any thoughts?

I'm thinking take off the dread arms, replace with spawn or greenstuff arms ending in guns. More guns on the shoulders, chaos termi head growing out of the chest.

**Miguelsan**

Are you sure the size will be ok? The oblits are so big.

I think if your going to convert anything into an obliterator it should probably be terminators. The dreads are going to be way to huge as oblits. You could convert the dreads into Chaos dreads or DPs of some sort though.

**Kymera**

Yeah, the terminators would probably be your best bet. A little bit of green stuff and a few spare guns from your bits box and you got yourself some oblits.

**Kid_Kyoto**

Aren't 'blits like twice the size of termis? What base are they on?

**Alex Kolodotschko**

I'm pretty sure oblits are on 40mm bases.

Biggerised spawnified terminators are your best bet!

I have seen some good examples just not sure where, I'll have a think?????

Edit found it!

Check this out.

NOT MY WORK!!!!!!!!!!

This is an obliterator body but you could easily make a terminator look this good!

I would suggest keeping the arms off entirely and have the gun barrels bursting out from the torso.

Well dreadnoughts are £25 each and oblits are £12, a waste of money imo, you could just trade with a friend.

**Alex Kolodotschko**

NOT MINE! but another example!

**Regwon**

oblits are on the same sized base as terminators. once you add all those extra guns they come out looking the same size if not bigger.

dreads are much bigger then both. ive seen people use dreads as oblits and it just doesnt look right. the scale is off.

terminators are your best bet.

yea but if its the dred from AOBR they are dirt cheap. specially if youve already used the ones you need and are left with a couple.
