Hello fellow dakkadakkas,

trying to be light on my wallet I thought I could model a DeffDred myself.
It turn out I got myself in for more than one night of modeling but it is (still) fun.
Unfortunately, I did not get round to buy plasticard yet and so I stick with good
old cardboard.

What do you think?

Cheers,
Martin

I'm definitely a fan of scratch building and I think it looks great so far. Don't get discouraged!

Don't get distracted, either. There are so many great opportunities for Ork billders that they sometimes get sidetracked.

Looking great! I'm looking forward to more pictures.

Looking good so far......

Yeah, you will be surprised at how much better a simple coat of paint will make it look.

Thats awesome. I have been wanting to do a dred as well as some Killa Kans from scratch. this is good inspiration.

Hi

I love to see the stuff that goes into scratch building.

I built my own a little way back:

Ork stuff is great to scratch build.

Thanks for the comments. Will post more pics tonight, especially the back side and size comparison with a SM Dreadnought.

I am love with orks especially because of the opportunity for an inexperienced modeller like me to contribute to the variety on the battlefield.

Hey talltamin, your dread looks awesome! A lot more weapons on it then in the stats in the codex, right? I find it hard to keep the dread as small as the SM dread is.

Does anyone know whether the SM dread (I have the Black Reach Set one) is supposed to be much smaller than the Ork one?

Hi

A deff dread has two close combat weapons plus two other options.

My one has a big shooter, scorcher and two close combat weapons.

I also put an extra small shooter on the arm, but call it part of the big shooter.

Looks like a solid start you got there.

I will be following this one.

Aww... Cute

loving the look of the arms!!!

lovery i made an ork dred once and it turned out good now im making 18 killa kans for a dred mob (Well kan mob)

Wow, 18 Kans? That is incredible. Is that fieldable? I thought you can only have 3x 3Kans for the heavy support slot.

More detail, backview and size comparison with AoBR SM Dread.
