Hi all, here is my wip of Ork Deff Dread. Here some photos
need comments

**Grass4hopper**

Interesting concept with one wheel and one leg. I like it

I can only imagine how hilarious it would be watching that Dread ~~walk~~ travel into battle.

**skycapt44**

Great idea! but once it lifts its leg wouldn't it fall over? It may need a double leg to be more realistic, but cool idea nonetheless.

**al_dot**

this dread don't use another leg
he would change his leg for additional DCCW ;D

**Grass4hopper**

If it leaned to the right slightly when it pushed off with it's left leg, the momentum should keep it upright momentarily while it moves it's left to the forward position, maybe.

**Rayvon**

If the leg moved super fast, it should be ok walking.
nice work

**KingCracker**

That is a pretty cool concept. I like it, its different. Nice work

**lessthan1337**

The leg is a little weedy, but other than that I like it

**Clang**

Personally I'd add another leg or wheel, partly for looks and partly to make the model itself more durable. Otherwise it's very nice.

I'm with lessthan1337 - love the wheel/leg combo (it could definitely move like that - ever seen a kid try and learn how to pump on a skateboard?), but the leg itself is a tad weedy. I think a piston alongside the "shin" (the ammo drum would make a perfect attachment point) and a small glyph/armor plate would add sufficient beef, without requiring a total rebuild. Not a necessity, but I think it would be a worthwhile addition.

Ever seen that a skateboard has 4 wheels?

Like the other sentiments, the leg looks a bit spindly to me. As for the mobility issue, there's no reason at all that it couldn't get around as is. Just like walking on a crutch. You over extend the 'up motion' of one leg to balance on the other leg long enough to swing the first leg forward. Sort of like a half hop.

Please engage a willful suspension of disbelief. I think it looks great. Nice use of parts.

**Tjyven**

I LOVE it! Seriously, i've never seen such a Deff Dread before, with one wheel as a leg and one normal! Did you steal that from someone else or did you come up with it yourself? Either way, amazing. Why do I never come up with such cool ideas? :(

**al_dot**

yes, it's my idea

i don't care about how this dread will move)
and i know that orcs doesn't care too ;DDD
i like this model

**Big3439**

LOL thats awesome! it'll move like a skater. Great work man

**Xarian**

**al_dot**
