If these two were to go head to head, which one could produce the wackiest, most numerous and most destructive creations ?

Which one would be the most dangerous to let loose around technology or anything metal for that matter if they were on an imperial forgeworld ?

And in a clash between a daemon engine hoard and a dreadmob, who would be more likely to come out on top ?

The Ork certainly creates the wackiest, and more numerous creations.

The Warpsmith's creations are ones I'd argue are far more deadly on a creation-per-creation basis.

The answer to the second question is the Warpsmith. The Big Mek can be killed and his things removed reasonably easily. Chaos taint is far harder to remove and often warrants 'purification', which means massive collateral damage.

In equal numbers, I'd say the daemon engine horde wins easily, but orks rarely fight in equal numbers, so it would become rather equal.

As for a melee between the two, I'd argue the Warpsmith wins.

The warpsmith would win. Unless he's facing a Warpheaded Big Mek. Then the playing field would be more level.

Which could build the most war machines in any given amount of time ?

Big Mek, the ork production rate is just ridiculous. The only way a Big mek could face a Warpsmiths mechanical army is if he out produced him. orks take Quantity over Quality. Unless he builds Gargants, then the Warpsmith might be in trouble since they don't build Titans out of scrap.

it does depends on where the Warpsmith is doing his production. On daemon worlds or dark mechanicus worlds they can pretty much will daemon engines into being

The Big Mek.

The Big Mek.

The Dredd Mob.
