New Ork Deff Dread & Killa Kans
Really, 8 months since the last post, oh dear… Anyway, I just had to post after seeing the new Ork Deff Dread & Killa Kan models.
Check these babies out!
Ork Deff Dread

Ork Killa Kans

These new plastic models just blow the old metal ones away, Waaargh Wazrukk contains 3 Killa Kans and 1 Deff Dread already but I’m definitely going to have to include some of these babies.
The sculpts are just so much more characterful and the large number of build options means that it is possible to build a unique model every time, giving your army that rag tag Orky look.
Brilliant - Nice work GW.
Non-Orky Comment:
Also, the Marines are losing the old metal Venerable Dread, I never liked this model, far too ornate.
The new model (released at the same time as the Ork Dreads) looks more solid and believable, from memory it seems to draw on some of the Forge World sculpts.
Finally I reckon it’ll be quite interchangeable with the other SM Dreads, offering some great conversion opportunities, another good job GW.
Loving the look of those killa kans but im not sure about the deff dread.
I think its the big shoulders - not quite working for me. Then again I loved the earlier Deff Dread so maybe I just dont like change
I reckon you could just leave out (or cut off) the “shoulder pads” on the new model if you don’t like them
You’ve got to love the new arms though, the extra variety is great!
I know what you’re saying though, if you like an old model and it get’s replaced the new one has a lot of work to do…
