OK, it looks like I might have another dread left in me.

Number 3 is gonna be following the idea of the penitent engine somewhat.

Here is the first pic.
See if you are following me on this one.



He is gonna have cables and wires running from his "stumps" to the legs and arms of the dread.

Well i'm a fan can't wait to it complete.

Great concept! I never liked that nob head much, but I think it'll be perfect for what you're trying to do.

You gonna go for Mr. Choppy Dread? Or balance with some ranged weaps?

Not sure yet. I am leaning toward Mr Choppy. I think him being out in the open and flailing around with 4 CCW would look pretty cool.

Just not sure atm though.

Well, maybe 3 CCW and a scorcha.

I love the penitent engine dread conversions.

Cant wait to see how this one turns out... will it look like a barnyard animal too? (like dat chicken dread)

lol

I cant think of another barnyard animal that will suit my needs.

You could paint it like a cow. That would be hilarious. An kommando gets blowed up in combat, wakes up, strapped to a new COVERT ORK SPECIAL WEAPON. A choppy deff dread, disguised as a cow. A kommando would love that kinda thing.

OK thats a good idea looking forward to seeing more.

If I just put a couple of big horns on it you think he would pass for a bull? =)

Yes, but he should have a big bell round his neck too!

and a waagh banner that says "MOOOOO!!"

Definitely!

Wh...fh...WHY IS THIS THREAD ALL OF A SUDDEN ABOUT COWS? And will it have utters?

I am not too happy with the GS work. It my first attempt at it.

I just couldnt get that second stump to look right.

good grief
what sort of genetically modified cattle do you guys have Stateside?

those cowboys must have a tough time!

this is looking very interesting Stump!
do you have a linky to the others please?

This is a link to the thread that has the 6 killa kans and the first 2 dreads I made

http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/273250.page

Many thanks Stump!

much pleasure had viewing those chaps
Was wondering about scratching some Dreads- time and energy permitting and your work certainly inspires
edit: forgot to mention i like the plumbing and the Ork style spikey metal
love the Kans too btw

gonna have to have a go some time!

@Chibi - if you like those kans you need to check out Bloaterpaste.

His are turning out way better then mine.

Well, here are some updates to this fella.

I had to loot a SM dread from my brother for some inspiration for the legs.
I think they are turning out ok.



And here is his first CCW.
I figured why not stick with an oldy but goody. Probably gonna have this swinging high over his head.

Looking good, some nice details. Cant wait to see more, Keep it up.

Lookin good. The leg may be a little long, but I'll wait to see more of it before I make up my mind. I like the CCW.

I thought the leg was a bit long too and needed a knee jont.
Well, I shorten the leg and then added the joint and I am right were I started on the height.
But I think that the height is working atm.

I had to use a unfinished boy to prop him up for the pics.

Yeah, that looks good as for height. All the details are lookin good too. I can't tell from this pic how the foot is doing, but I'm liking this a lot.

Looking good. Be careful not to make the arms any more spindly.

Looking good. I admire your attention to detail; most people just slap on stuff till they're satisfied.

Me likey muchos 0.o

Thanks for the compliments and comments folks.

@The Good Green - I will put a pic of his mud stompers up later. They actually look like nasty orthopedic shoes to me.

@Owain - Do the arms look kinda spindly atm? If yall think so I will try to beef them up some. Any advice or ideas on it?
Right now I was planning on having his 2 CCWs coming out of those ball/socket joints on his arms. Not
sure about the other CCW yet.

@CommissarKhaine - Thanks for the detail compliment. I mus say I was one of those people you talk about "just slapping stuff
on" until recently. I had just gotten a bag of rods and tubes and odds and ends from evergreen and it
kinda inspired me to take my time on this one.

I have kinda out thought myself a bit. I went to fast on the legs and I cant figure out where to go with the cable from his ork
legs to his mech legs. if anyone has any thoughts on that please throw them at me.

here are a few pics of my first finished leg.

here is the first CCW for this fella.

Imagine a Man catcher/cigar cutter rolled into one. No more worrying about how to get that Space marine out of your man catcher.

Still have work to do on it. Just thought I wold throw it out there for C/C.

Thinking that CCW is a bit much.

Back to the drawing board.

I looks good and I would keep the idea but the claw and square part are too big and too long.
