[Archive] Flying Dread - Deff from above!

Grimstonefire:

So I bought an Ork Dread about 6 months ago and started building it yesterday.

I have an idea in mind for a collection of Ork models (I wouldn’t call it an army), that would be themed to be from semi-gas planet where they live on a flying Rok/station and so every transport etc will need to be flying.  Bikes, trucks, kans etc.  Not sure how much I will actually buy, maybe just some bikes and a truck.

Anyhow, I’m a bit stuck as to how to actually make some flying parts for my Dread.

I’m thinking it will have a retro rocket burner on each corner and some sort of mega booster thing at the back?  Instead of legs.

And, as I happen to be posting, I am still chipping away painting up all my hobgoblins.

Chico:

What about something like this?

Something like this!

Grimstonefire:

Bear in mind it’s got 4 arms, so any propellers are going to either have to be high up, out wide or underneath.

Or you can put the propellers on the top two arms? :)

Just put a mega-rocket on it’s back, like the Stormboys? :slight_smile:

Some kind of jet-pack me thinks.

Hashut’s Blessing:

Iron man style rocket boosters in the feet, or have it’s choppy weapons be propellers - after all, it’s an Ork’s belief that it’ll work that makes it work.
