Excellent!

Excellent kitbashing! Although I didn't realize the Metzger was so big!

Looks like they are about the same size as the new FW CHAOS DECIMATOR DAEMON ENGINE.

Just what I was thinking, great way to Kitbash a Decimator

Especially as they're about half the cost

Even thought this is a chaos machine, it is very awesome!

Awesome. Where can I find the robot kit you used for the conversion? I have an idea to do something similar for my GK army. I hope to use as a contemper dreadnaught.

Its a Dystopian Wars walker. Theyre not quite big enough for deccimators i think but work great as Chaos Contemptors!

Oh and I finally managed to get a pic alongside a standard Marine Dread!

If they're called butchers, then why no gore? Great conversions nonetheless.

The only thing I don't like is their height - they're noticeably taller than normal Dreads, which may cause LoS arguments during games.

I like the marine heads (which some others don't) - to me it suggests that when a mortally wounded marine is made a dread pilot, he's placed so his old power armour head can see out of the dread, unlike the loyalist version.

Not quite. The venerable dreadnaughts have the ability to show a helmet and torso.

They actually match up next to contemptors so that's what I think I'll be using them as mostly! ^_^
