Army of Two Dreadnoughts: influenced by the ballistic masks and shield from a certain co-op shooter; there are no words for how bad-ass I think these dreads are. Having the heavy weapon held in both arms gives it the feel of it moving like a giant soldier, and gets past the somewhat stiff and ponderous appearance of the basic model. Created by an excellent French studio called Warhead http://www.gowarhead.com/

Even though the sequels were terrible, that game will always hold a special place in my heart.

Me and my brother powered through it in a weekend and returned it for a full refund good play through only one issue.....
Don't boost someone up a ledge, have them get downed, because he cant pull you up and you cant get him up ahaha oh we laughed hard at that failure.

But loving the dreads, might have to make a couple killakanz in the style of.

Excellent take on a dread! Looking forward to seeing it painted. What model did you use for the giant squig?

I sculpted the squig from scratch So i'll take that as a huge compliment I just used a wooden ball as the claw, then did the teeth, followed by lips and face (building outwards basically), finishing with the flesh. Initially had going to be a bike in the style of the 'dog thingy ma bob, from the mario games on N64'.

That's one sweet looking dreadnaught. Feel like im in the same boat as you chimp, love dreadnaughts, but they really do have some poor designs.... not to mention, sucking balls in game (orks). I have the option to field a army of dreads, but just nothing rules wise backs up that choice

I have a squad of Tankbustas that are about as much Bic Pen as they are GW model

I am thinking of a second busta squad, well i know what il be doing cheers for the input Adamsouza

I agree Chimp,

walkers with 2H weapons look badass! generally means you need to shoulder mount a weapon system.... but then I also love shoulder mounted systems. So WIN WIN!

Although as an alternate, I do have a conversion underway that combines the 2H weapon along with the gun. its an ork ofc, because only an Ork would combine a gun and a 2H weapon and think he's improving his combat capability Going with a DakkaLance idea, so long polearm with a huge bolter built into the head

Also loving the landspeeder! that is one hell of a conversion! I too love how loaded up it looks! I mean since when did anyone actually go into combat with just 1 ammo clip My shoota boyz would be out of builts in about 30 seconds ging by my models

I like chimera with the turret shunted to the back.

Yeah rear turret on the Chimera suits it. Which is funny because on the Razorback I prefer it forward.

the grass is always greener
Or the turret is always greener on the other side??

I finally build one of the ork-cyborg-centaur things I mentioned a while ago. Still WIP, but here is a picture:



Still needs work, but it is a quite decent prototype.

Reminds me of my Nob on bike ;




--------------------------------------------------------------

I like to think up little back stories to my orks, as in how they think and how they unded up cyborg/mutated as they are;

Wazzdakka;



Big Mek with KFF - So one day lootin' da boss came upon dis beautiful umbrella amongst some other useful items such as his backpack. Ever since that day da boss an' his retinue have been da luckiest boyz in town, often bullets just seemed to curve around them. Ever since then da boss has always carried his mighty mighty umbrella to battle! (not realising the force field generator on his back has been silently whirring away battle afta battle )

Looks like Gork and Mork sent us similar visions.
Are there more of these kind of Nob bikerz or is this the only one you converted this way?

thats my only, but definitely keep us updated on your cyborg-centaurs, How do you envision the paint job? and what about anything inside the horses ribcage?
