100% win. The only thing that would make it better would be to get the plastic crushed grot from one of the fantasy kits and put him on the hammer...

Something for the dread-thread:

gathering of dreads and back row as single piece.

Scratch built Iron clad

1hadhq - you are THE MAN.

Something's not right here...can't quite put my finger on it though...

I'll have a dread up here probably after the weekend when I run down to the nearest shop to pick one up.

Here's mine.
Ven Dread Falstaff.


Automatically Appended Next Post:

One of these things is not like the others.

Except the Tyranid Carnifex!

Needs more hammer!

My current SW dread. The weedy banner is going to get replaced by the nice one from the Wolf boys box once I get around to painting it.

I've posted these before, but... I do love dreads.

my Blood Raven's Ironclad Dread (with LED):

Still not 100% finished. I want to polish the ork victim a little more, and add some gore.

My still incomplete 4 legged armorcast ork conversion:


Sadly, after nearly a year, very little progress on this.

whats your secret with the LED in your dread?

LOL, I just posted this in Ork Show and Tell... Oh well, I will just put this right here:

Here is my Deff Dread. My boyz have nicknamed him BigGob MekStompyFoot Killington.
It is one of my first paint jobs in almost 10 years. Be gentle, but don't hold back on C&C.

Low res / WIP pics



High Res Closeup Pics



You can find more pics in my gallery.

Model details:

It is 3 inches tall from static foot to shoulder, and 6 inches from the pincer to the saw

Wysiwyg Armor Plates

Skorcha with 3 DCCW: The pincer, the buzz saw, and the stompy-killy foot

Oh, and the eyes light up. Now I feel compelled to do the same for all of my walkers. LEDs FTW!

Painting Details:

Simple paint job of silver craft paint drybrushed over OSH primer

Rust is simply hand mixed orange highlights

The pauldrons used for the hips are from Ultramarines and Angry Marines. The angry pauldron (lol) has inverted coloring, due to the gigantic bloody saw next to it. Red next to red threw it off a bit...

DCCW are splashed with blood, as are all of my orks' combat weapons. This is for clarity in battle. I am intending on using a lot of... Unconventional weapons for my themed army.
I haven't revealed the theme yet, but I will, soon. At the end of the month...

Fluff:
Back on planet Angelis (home world for my army), this exoskeleton was to aid Mekboys in the construction of Gorkamorka. The main chassis was found by the Diggas, and was eventually turned into "konstrukshun armah" when traded to Mekboy MekGubbinz (my Big Mek). It used the pincer to lift and place girders, the buzz saw to cut them to the proppa length, then the skorcha to weld them in place. Spikes were added to the feet when the armor was recommissioned by Da Boss for war.

Being that the diggas live around and below the ruins of a few Necron Monoliths, I wanted to really invoke a Necron vibe with this thing, yet keep it nice and Orky. That is why the main chassis is not rusted, yet the face resembles fantasy Black Orcs (which I use bits from in my army, so the vibe is consistent).
