Hey guys,

I have just completed my most ambitious project so far in the assembly of my Ork army - a custom scratch built / kit bashed Deff Dread! I have written a full article on its construction with tons of pics at my blog:

Here are some teaser pics, but please check out the complete article! Let me know what you think. It is quite the beast and I look forward to rampaging across the game table with it!







Thanks,
Jeff

Nice dude. Good and killy, just like a Dread ought to be.

That's a dread to be proud of! Jeff, I can't wait to see more of your Orks completed. Promise me that we'll be able to combine forces one day in a huge apoc game or something.

Absolutely, Chrispy! I look forward to that day. Once the new Stompa is out, we'll have to add those to our forces as well!

The only thing Ive found with making dreds have 4 CC arms, is when (and you know it happens) they go down before killing anything, it makes my heart hurt lol. Nice dred. My dreds are all about tearing it up in CC as well, thats were Orks should be

Phwoar, if one Kan holds a Grot that thing could hold, like, twenty.
Nice work.

Is it hollow inside the dreads? Or does it have sort of filler?

The inside of the body is mostly hollow, though I ran some plasticard strips in places to reinforce the structure.

Thanks for the comments guys!

DA enemy iz gonna be runnin' not shootin'.
Job'z a good un'

Thats cool. I almost wanted to do 4 Dread cc's but couldn't resist having a skorcha sticking out the mout like a fire breathing tongue.

Cool, I like it. Looks very orky and menacing!

Well done.

Are you going to make some killa kans to go with him?

Very nice work man,I love to see scratch built orkieness,espesialy as good as what you've done here.
Hope to see more of your creations.

It is certainly impressive. Willl you please show us the four grabbin-claw-less battlewagons now?

I only have 2 clawless Battle Wagons :-) The other two claws were a generous donation from a friend. I have one of the Battle Wagons up on the blog, and I am still trying to figure out how to convert the second one. But now it is time to get a bunch of these things painted! I have been on such a building frenzy, I guess I need a painting frenzy as well!

Thanks for the comments guys,
Jeff
