Anyone ever put or seen Ghazkull Thrakka's arms on a dread?

I've got two old chaos dreads that I want to convert up, and I want them to have two CCWs (it's for a specific game of Cities of Death), and Ghazzkull's arms seem the right size, but I want to know before I blow $24 on the arms.

I have seen it done for a GW Entombed Dante conversion back in the day, I can't seem to find a link.

Here is one:

Mauleed, I hope you dont mind but I think I may have to borrow that idea for my other dread! That looks awesome.

yes they fit.really well.
If you look around on the US or UK site,you can find a sort of pimp-my-dread page.Has lots of convertions for basically Venerable dreads.I'll try finding it for you

Edit->k'...i was a little wrong but still

4 dreads,one with thraka's chest and another with arm

stupid links, anyway, there's another example, a chaos dread.

I'd go with the Thraxx arms myself.

Thraxx arms?

These guy's arms look promising (from inquisitor)

 

 

I think US WD 300, in the article on Adeptus Custodes, had a dread with either Thrakka's or the =][= guy's arms.

Yeah, that's the one. Krieger crash Thraxx or something similar. His arms + tycho shoulder pads for this dread from black gobbo

When I was repairing a dread I bought cheap off of ebay I got the idea of trying defiler arms / claws. They might be a bit too large though.

aaahh...a Gobbo thats where it was!
sry for the mis-leading

My brother did it with the Big ork guys arms kinda like the Sisters dread, his kinda mad his marine dread look kinda Gorilla like in the way that it had super long arms...looked cool though!

It can be a good looking conversion. I made one for my Flesh tearer's Furioso. I would have done it for my Death Co dreads, but it would have been too much work and money. I ended up cutting out each finger and repositioning it so it was not just the closed hand affect. Instead for the Death Co Dreads I just did a simple hand swap for the Ork Dread Buzz Saws. Simple but good looking. If I did it again I would use the flat blade hand on Thrax. It is a bit bigger and nastyier looking. buuuut I have had two Flesh Tearer armies, that is probably enough for me.
