Orks love those three words. And nothing embodies them quite like a Deff Dread lumbering its way towards the enemy with unpleasant intentions.
A great big rusty robot, ready to grab its foe, and start furiously chopping and sawing until nothing is recognisable.
Not so different from me doing a model kit conversion, then.
This particular beast started life as the very excellent Medium Panzer Walker (also known as a Kampf Läufer, or Luther/Ludwig/Lothar) from Paolo Parente's beautifully realised Dust miniatures game. The box it came in had three different weapon configurations, none of which I had any intention of using. Those were put aside, and instead I grabbed a few arms and other bits from Games Workshop's bona fide Deff Dread kit.

| This isn't the first time the Kampf Läufer has appeared on this blog. You can also see it here. Sort of. |
Some hacking, sawing, gluing, bleeding and about 5 years later, et voila.
There are a few other Ork Walkers planned and underway, so this won't be the last you hear of this unit. Pop back in, let's say, another 5 years and we can see how far I've got with them.
