Tank: Finally someone in FW played Metal Slug? about time they make a Ork looking tank . Good!
Mega Dred: Its large and fancy , its a quality work for sure i dont disagree . But i liked Orks creations better when it looks like
it can barely work / hold itself together lol . This one looks just ... well chop off the head and it'll look like some Chaos Dred.
not to mention the design itself is from copied another mecha ( cant remember the name atm )
Those are very nice. I wasn't expecting the dread to be so huge. I was actually hoping for something to replace the metal deff dred, but this is way too big for that.
I would love to have one of those for apocalypse but am a bity dissapointed that I won't be able to use it for deff dred.

Same here. I was saving for some space wolf stuff; but to add this to my army at around the same price a s a battleforce with arms. How can anyone say no? Was even thinking about a stompa, god I hope this look will extend to regular killakans and dreds.

It would be nice if GW used these designs and did plastic kanz & dreads,they would be much cooler and versitale than the current metal ones,and I'm sure GW would sell loads of kits...win on all sides.
I am both selfish and chaotic. I value self-gratification and control; I want to have things my way, preferably now. At best, I'm entertaining and surprising; at worst, I'm hedonistic and violent.

I'd trade them in for the plastic kit's. Can't go wrong with 18 Kans.

ZOMGOYF - I just found my new favourite ever model - that Mega Dread!!!
Got a project for that one.
Has anyone else noticed a connection here between the Mega Dread and this...
I'm sooooo gonna paint him as the Devastator.

Bah, I couldn't make something that nice. Not quickly anyway. Hence why my wallet is on deck and just waiting to see if some friends need anything from FW before I hit the Purchase button.
Yup, Gorkzilla first and now this one will be Morkzilla. Even if I don't run this with the Mega-Dred rules I'll just rep it as a battlewagon, like I do with Gorkzilla. Have to add the tellyporta array to this one, though I am SO getting the Kill Kannon arm.
My Supa Stompa list is shaping up now.

Hm, strangely I even like the rules for the tank. It's a fast superheavy with extremely versatile ammo (though slightly unreliable), can transport a small mob of orks, has 14 front armor and 3 structure points. AND it costs less points than a Skullhamma.
Kinda makes the Malcador range, in the same points bracket, look even more crap.
The supply does not get to make the demands.

Holy Gork... I liked the artillery, the Big Trakk didn't do a thing for me (okay, the tread links are nice) but holy crap, both of these are incredible. I'll agree the Dread is a big too Manga-Mech for me, but I'm amazed at the volume of detail! I'm still staring at the pics and picking out details I hadn't seen 30 minutes ago. My Current Bwagon conversion might be put on hold to do some "inspired by" kans! Wow! The details on the tank are equally impressive, I'm loving the rotating gun cupola, crew, treads, and overall Bulldog look to it. The exposed drive is a nice touch (as an engineer, that kind of thing tickles my fancy) but I can see it needing to be super pinned for transport, those fiddly driveshafts would be the first things to snap off in a case.
All in all: Wowza. Must check the bank and see if I can't swing the dread.
Too bad all this Ork lurve is Forgeworld/experimental/permission only.
Oh and I think the tank is Orkasmic!
Well as soon as the next Imperial Armour book hits the shelves they're official.
I love these news, I'm in love with the Mega-Dread. Not because I want to have the model. But because it gives me some soon-to-be official rules to base a looted Chaos Defiler conversion on! I'm going to have some fun with that for sure!

Completely Off topic: Threeshades your avatar pic is terrific, Fizzgig is made of win. Win and teeth.
Reecius: haven't seen you in a while, welcome back!
And just to steer back on topic: The transport rules for the tank are great! Counts as open topped for embarking/assaulting, but not for damage. Sounds perfect for orks clinging to the outside of a tank, they way I've always pictured it working!
Sold my orks off and dont play them anymore, however, i may be tempted with a mega dread Possibly one of the best FW kits out now in my opinion

The Dread looks great, and especially the gun and the shoulders. But the CCWs are too spindly, not beefy enough. I'd suggest to scratchbuild a couple great big fists, rather than those wimpy skinny pincer claws. Or maybe a fist with a giant hammer / ball & chain...
Mega-Dread is 5/5, Gun is 5/5, CCW is 2/5.
The Tank is OK, and shows that GW really has no clue how RL tanks work. But as this is an *Ork* Tank, the fact that it couldn't possibly work IRL is perfectly Or-Kay with me!
Tank scores 4/5.
The Grot gunners are meh - I suspect any Ork player can just make their own.
