Deads Dreadmob

[Deadlift]

Hi guys, Recently I wrote a post about my next project and asked for some ideas about what I was going to do.
We / I decided that an Ork Dreadmob army fit the bill and I then went about purchasing IA8 and my 1st model. I tend to purchase and paint 1 kit at a time now as I prefer to hobby in stages as opposed to being surrounded by boxes.

So here is my 1st model for my new army, Base isn't done yet as I am still thinking of a theme for my bases but as you can see the model is complete.

I have lots of coloured wiring laying around and replaced some of the plastic with real wires as its easier than painting on the lines. I think next I will be getting some kans or Orkifying a space marine dread.

Great work! A great crisp, clean, dirty look (hard to pull off well!) and a fantastic colour scheme. Can't wait to see how the rest of the list comes together. Any idea for the eventual target composition of the force?

Not really mate, but I will be looking at some FW purchases next, Meka dread as an HQ is a done deal really :)

That there is some great rust. Good work! You don't see enough blue on non-ultramarine armies out there. I like it!

I really love how you used real wires. I think that it would be much easier than painting wires, and would look better as well! I need to try that on some of my kits in the future.

I love that you've used all three primary colours on this without it looking garish, so you've basically out-painted every Ultramarine painter in the 90's. :p

Also, the weathering on the warning stripes is fantastic! Actually, scratch that, *everything* about the warning stripes is fantastic. :)

Hey Deadlift,

I like your Deff Dread, painting has been done nicely.
The weapon combination is a good one, enough attacks and a heavy flamer.
Got more Ork goodies ^^?

Cool color scheme.

[rowansl]

That's really sweet. nice job

[islyfe]

Wow nice paint job dead! I'm a fan of the color sheme as well.

If you'll manage to keep that standard for an entire Ork army, you'll end up with an awesome army for sure.
Painting boys might break you, but I'll wish the best of luck to you!

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGHHHHHHHH!

I really like it - good choice of colours. I bet they look great as a whole army on the tabletop.

[Meigeall]

Very nice all around.

[Subsocial]

Cool! I like the bold colors in your scheme, it'll really stand out well on the tabletop. I've always been a fan of bold colors vs. muted ones as I like it when my models "pop", so to speak. If that scheme should surely make for a great-looking army once it's all done. Can't wait to see more!

Quite liking the rusty thing! keep up the good work!
