I bought an Ork Dreadnought (or Deff Dread as they are now called) a long time ago - I think when they were about 60 AUD, rather than the current price of 95 AUD! I never built it, and eventually used some of the bits - the buzz saw blade went to one of my Cyborks, the Burna to an ork boy in the Burna Mob, and the top hatch on the side of my Looted Wagon with Boomgun (originally an old Predator Destructor).
I finally built the Deff Dread with four Close Combat Weapons, because if I left the guns on, it could either shoot or fight, but not both. I would rather that the Deff Dread ran up to the enemy and got stuck in!
The plastic arms are from the Battlewagon kits. The big choppa is from an ancient (1990?) Ork walker thing, made by an Australian company called Inquisition, which I don't think exist any more (No relation to the GW game Inquisitor, or the Inquisition in WH40K). They were crude but imaginative models. The black weapon is the chain axe choppa from a Warboss, and the Grot and hatch are from the Trukk and Battlewagon kits. I think the Grot's head is from the plastic Gretchin box.
