Forge World Ork Mega Dread
I bought the Mega Dread with two KilKannon arms. The reason for getting two KilKannons was that I was not that impressed with the close combat weapon that was available at the time, the claw arm looked very flimsy and as a result I felt the model looked unbalanced (from the photographs). Since I bought mine, Forge World have bought out a buzzsaw weapon arm for the Mega-Dread that is much better in my opinion and looks "heavier" and more deadly. If I was to buy a second Mega-Dread I would seriously think about getting the buzzsaw.
These are nice castings that go together really easily.
Though using one on the left and the right means taking a little extra care to ensure that you don't end up with two left arms!
For one of the arms I used the plastic KilKannon from the Ork Battlewagon Upgrade Sprue. My reason for this was to make the Mega-Dread look too well constructed, I wanted the Mega-Dread to look like (as it does with the main part of the model) as though it was thrown together by a Mek from lots of rubbish and parts in his workshop. The plastic weapon needed minimal filing to fit and adds variety to the model.
One left arm and one right arm... Of course the model as a result has two spiked shoulder pads.
These were then stuck onto the body.
As you can see from this rear view, there is a lot of detail on this model. I aim to bring out this detail using a combination of washes and drybrushing.
