this is my mega dread conversion from a grey knight dread knight.
i have been modeling a year and only have 40 boys and a warboss painted but couldnt help myself making something big. it is magnetised for 2 combat weapons to go on the shoulders but im guessing i cant put big shootas ect up there as that would be modeling for advantage, let me know if im wrong there.

this is mostly plasticard work apart from the buzz saw and a few other tiny bits.

this is my first post on here so hi eveyone

That's pretty epic. Conversion and paintjob are superb.

Hey, thanks very much.

Awesome, but it needs more rivets!

I bloody love it, and I don't like the original Dread Knight model at all.

I like it.
Please feel free to piss off all the Grey Knight players of the world by fielding "Ork Knights." Think of it this way... you'd end up with quite the hysterical dual themed army.. and plenty of Mega Armored Nobs if you needed them

Awesome! He looks to sturdy though, to be of Orky creation. His pose is so striking and ready for action. Shouldn't he look like hes about to teeter over or rupture a gasket? j/k very nice orky dread. makes me wish I played orks, but having one blob army (IG) is enough for now.

well thanks allot everyone, i think TheLionOfTheForest has a good point so im going to make it a little more ramshackle.

I love it, a great conversion and paint job.

Pretty sick!

I'm loving this. The pose and new head/face absolutely ooze character. If I were to change anything, I'd consider dirtying it up, a tad. The yellow is noticeably shaded in the recesses and chipped at the edges, but the broad expanses of painted armor are relatively clean and bright. It's not a bad look, by any means, but I think it could be improved upon with a little more grime. Even if left as-is, it's a stellar conversion with a nice paintjob, to match.

awesomeness man

and i love how you can just see the ork pilot in the mouth of the head of it :3

Thanks for the advice and i totaly agree it needed dirtying up so ive given it a generous splashing of sepia
ive also given him a bit more of a wonky jaw.
dirt doesnt seem to be showing up too well in the pic though

Conversions this good are deceptive. You've clearly put a ton of planning and precise work into making this look so ram-shambled, and it has paid off! Really really impressive, probably the most comprehensive conversion of this kit I've seen yet.
The dirt you added is an improvement as well. Another fun way to add some dingy-ness is to do little oil streaks and stains running down from hydraulic parts.

awesome job, but its needs more red to go faster. Isn't that the ork thought, red equals speed.

Very cool man, my fave part is the head. Easily the part that sells it to me

Now this is epicness, Do give us more such goodness

its simply amazing! a great looking conversion!

I guess it's fine, if you're into awesomeness!!!

very awesome! the head/jaw is oozing with character.

didn't even notice the bugger inside the mouth until someone pointed em out!!!

Love it. The pose is fantastic, and the painting is complementary of how well it's converted.

Brilliant idea great piece of flash stompy bad moon kit!
