Hello guys/girls.

This is my first time posting after a few years of reading DakkaDakka.

I am an ork only player, and am just getting into conversions for the larger models.

A year or so ago my friends and I purchased 3 Laviathan crusaders that where discounted at the time.

They wanted to make some Contemptor Dreadnoughts and I was after a mega dread.

After my fist effort at the megga they quickly donated there crusaders to the megadread cause.

The past few days I have assembled the 2nd kit and made a kustom mecha dread, there are more models/kits involved in this that I can list (Including Lego parts) and my bits box has been hammered.
I have used a mix of super glue and hot glue, the shape is where I want it but it is not complete yet.
I have more detail to add to it (Cogs and glyphs)

but I thought I would share the pics and seek advice and suggestions.
I am still new to conversions and not a strong painter, most of what I know I learnt here .

Very cool! Those are the 15mm scale ones? Welcome to Dakka!

I like the conversions you've done. Very Orky, in my opinion. The only thing that bothers me is the saw blade. It's size really throws the whole model visually out of balance for me. Maybe add something to the left shoulder like a big gun or a crow's nest with a Grot spotter. Just a suggestion.

Thanks . I think they are 15mm, I stuck an ork in one of the pics for scale. I think the new one is closer to the size of a knight. I agree the symmetry is a bit off with the saw, I was trying to balance it with the KFF "radio valve" on the back. I'll try to add a little more mass to even it out, the rattler cannon does defiantly needs more work. But I do kinda like the awkward style from the enormous blade. .

I dunno man, that Buzz saw.... I just don't think it's big enough...

pretty damn cool

That buzz saw.... needs to be bigger

AHAHA, sorry guys, i only had one sawblade, but i am sure i can find more spiky Bitz for it.
i had an idea last night, i had been saving this gun to build a Warcopta with rattler cannon out of.
literally built around it due to the size and wight of the thing.

what do you think ? overkill ?

i do love how well these leviathan where designed, the arms are modular, the come off really easy and can be swapped between models or even just a left and right arm swap

From the side it looks great, but from the front it seems to stick out a little too far.

Finished sticking things to it ,
A bit of undercoat and this is it.

I played a game with it the other day and discovered that a rattler kannon, while nice on paper, is not very good against space marines... my primary foe.
So i have made a big zappa/shunter.
Ill make the 2nd claw later.

Very cool looking! Remember, unless your group is really WYSIWYG or you want to play in tourneys, what they're modeled with and what you give them can be different.
