Dreadnought + Deff kopta = Deff Dred]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/221502/427261.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/221502/427261.page GMT

Consider the idea of using the dread copied, although I will make it very different from yours (for starters I do not have a spare kopta )

That is why I tell everyone that the secret number is 6 starters. Besides the Deathwing army and half a tactical company...

You get 4 squads of 30 orks
enough power claws for the nobs who lead them, the big mek, and the warboss
max deff koptas (15)

3 extra dreadnoughts and 3 extra def koptas to convert them.

depending on upgrades, that is already a decent 2000 point army

I am still trying to figure out how to make the big shoota into burna boy.

I am pretty sure it will involve some of the koptas exhaust pipes and wiring and detached multi-melta barrels.

Seriously, a cool conversion, and more proof that da orks can make most of the stuff in the game look good with just a little bit of conversion.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/221502/428452.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/221502/428452.page GMT

Think I'll get another box set just for that reason. Excellent conversion and innovation ([i]hope thats the right word[/i]) I too wanting to palm of the dread and keep all the other orky and marine stuff. but now I can do something orky with it. Any other marine-to-ork conversions you come up with post em.

I've got 2 metal dreads, 2 predators and a land raider that I plan to someday convert to the ork horde]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/221502/428683.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/221502/428683.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/221502/428871.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/221502/428871.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/221502/430784.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/221502/430784.page GMT
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.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/221502/430816.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/221502/430816.page GMT
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.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/221502/430842.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/221502/430842.page GMT

Sounds like a good idea. But the starter doesn't come with wheels and at this point I think I only have the driver body, arms, and fuel tank left on those things.
