Hmmm.....Will reserve judgment on this one until a full body shot becomes available.

I have mixed feelings... It looks menacing but I really loved the way Deff Dreads looked!

Hopefully it doesn't differ much from the original. Same thing I wish for new Killa Kans (if there will be any).

No your not.

I actually think the new mega-dred from FW is sort of blah as well...

I like the "walking garbage can" asthetic of the current ones...

The Deff Dread doesn't do it for me.
Actually I think it sucks big time.

The "my entire body is a face"-idea is lame IMO.
On the metal dread the effect was subtle. On this POS it is just lame.

It does seems to take a design hint from the Mega Dred. Very nice.

This just in!

Tolkien's original notes have been found, and that's where the Fellbeast is designed from. It was NOT, as has been suspected a Fellbeast.

It was a D'awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwbeast.

For the last sound you will ever make when seeing that vicious monster coming towards you....

"D'awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww look at da cute widdle beast! Who's a cutie!"

May God have mercy upon us all.

I 100% agree with the "trash can" look.

But on the side... From the picture you can see the teef and grim face are just bits over the torso, so the trash can look can still be under it?

Those shoulderpads look ridiculous though. Better picture required.

I was thinking plastic dread too, now I just hope they make new buggies!

Also, that Mino looks nails.

Okay, Deff Dread.
How about Killa Kanz?

Bring on the killa kans, now if they are plastic it would truly be a merry christmas.

then Merry Christmas thesilverback...........

Ir reminds me of this

Definitely more than a Deff Dread or a Killa Kan.

The interesting thing is that in a mano-a-mano fight the Venerable Space Marine Dreadnought would likely kick the Mega Dred's metal can.

Edit: I'd like to add though that if the new plastic Deff Dred and Killer Kans have the same face-plate and should-armour aesthetic going for them, then truly Gork (or possibly Mork) will have blessed us.

And I was just starting a scratch building project for making 9 killa kans with a friend. He didn't like the idea of dropping $40 on each model, but maybe the plastic kits will help.

LOL, or they will just charge the same for the plastic kit anyways. $40 for a 35 point model hurts (more with the wargear, but thats almost a buck a point).

Well the picture link actually has Deff Dread in the URL, so I'm pretty certain it is one.

...kinda says what it actually is, yes?

lol fair enough! i dunno, its def a break from the walking garbage can (sometimes even with an oscar the grouch stand-in) to put a stompa/meganob/black ork full helmet look... im sure it will be cool, but on the other hand, homoginising the mech's to all look kinda similar doesnt thrill me... i like orks best when all they have in common is the fact its bolted together junk y'know? besides, def, think some mega armored nobz are a bit overdue too?

I think ergotoxin is right. The large faceplate will likely be an addition you can choose to use. It certainly still looks like a classic trash-can design underneath the faceplate, if it was removed.

Also, looks like the legs are going to be a bit different from what we're used to as well. That limb on the bottom of the head/body strikes out an an angle, which makes me think there's a knee attached. Not like our current piston leg design.

I'm wondering if perhaps that killa kanz can be made out of this kit, depending on how the body goes together...

The orks developed gunman.

I want Killa Kanz for my Orks but I'm hesitating to buy the metal models.
Let's see first if GW brings out plastic kits.

Thank God! I'm not alone!

However, the fact that this one is metal is the only downside. Must be a pain in the ass to put together, but still, the design of it is what I like.

I hope so!

And really, you have to think it will - this being a plastic kit (er, right?), it should have a plethora of options!

A Metric plethora, or an Imperial plethora?

I forget, has England gone metric then?

I think its safe to say im really slowed at putting models together ( took me 12 hours to build the stompa ) , especially metal ones dont even mention it.

But contrary to what people expect ( with the uneven cast and such ) killa kan is very easy to build ( thats how i can stand making 8 of them )

Because gravity keeps it together till the glue dries o_o

England is going metric, inch by inch.

Meh, I've made metal models look fugly, but that's mostly due to my impatience. If I had held it for 5 more seconds...

And was England not using the metric system before? I thought only us stubborn Americans stayed away.

If there ever was a need for a practical demonstration of taking your Lord's name in vain, I think this post would serve admirably in such a role.

I think I would use the grimface as a Waaagh! banner then and kept the trash can look...

Also, you are right about the legs, like this it looks more like the mega dread legs rather than the piston legs. I think I'll miss the pistons, they were so lo-tech :(

The new ork model certainly looks quite hot. That would be a nice look for mega armored nobz.
