Did the same thing and did you know the box set also comes with 5 Orks in Mega Armour..........Mine certainly did.

I suppose it is possible to slap a nob head inside of a terminator body, but I just cant see that as being orky enough. Terminator armor is too small to house such a big boy and too rounded to match the ork aesthetic. I mean, maybe if you use more plasticard to make it more blocky, but the starter sets come with some limited resources for that. For weapon options you would be limited to big choppas unless you wanted to use human power fists over ork klaws. The twin linked shootas are easy enough to get from the warbosses, unless you proxy the storm bolter one.

Gaming wise I cant see mega nobs as viable unless they are in a trukk. And I dont exactly think I can make one out of the starter set. I will probably stick with my original plan to keep all 30 of my terminators for my deathwing army.

Maybe if you posted some picks of the mega nobs I will be convinced to make some. And what did you use to make the second dreadnought ccw? I am interested in seeing them.

Can't post pics at the moment as I'm working away from home and don't have a digital camera.

However your right I did some light plasticard work I also bulked out the Terminators shoulders and chest usually using ork boy sprue parts. The Power Klaws were bodged using the workybit, rivet and the two blades technique with others being donated by the Boyz Sprue, Warbikers and Warboss. Shootas were done using two spare shootas plasticarded and bitzed together. It's a simple job but you do need a good bitz box.

The Dreadnaught was also bodged from bitz I had. The main components I used were the iron skull from the ork warbike for the carapace. I also used the old warbike gun set for one arm for the two big shootas. The original power fist was replaced with a two blade bodge job using the autocannon worky bits for the arm. The third coming from the top of the head used a Killa Kan arm and a pair of the Ork chainsaw choppa blades glyphed together. So I ended up with a three arm dread.

Thanks for your interest in my work.
