Killa Kans and Deffdread

Long ago I had these Killa Kans and a Deffdred built to have magnetic weapons for the different options they could have.  However, this was done a bit haphazardly and didn’t look great.

In the most recent Ork Codex, Killa Kans have basically all the same weapon but with multiple profiles.  This allows the model builder to simply build whatever they want.

So, when updating the Kans and Dread for the recent codex, I made the Kans have static weapons and re-did the magnets on the Dread to make it look better.

Previous Ork Lore attributed the Kans to Manik Upzindown’s Wreckin’ Kroo!  However, with the change of background for my Orks, I decided that another Mek simply stole the idea.

The Wrecking Balls are from the (now slightly old) Trukk kit.  The Kustom Mega Blasta is from the Loota/Burna kit.  The Rokkits are from the Morkanaut/Gorkanaut kit.  The custom Grotzooka is some plasticard tubes, the old Space Marine Attack Bike hub, a Space Marine vehicle sprue tow hook, and some leftover sprue bitz to make it look like a shotgun, with an Ork glyph plate to make it more Orky.  All three have been re-based onto 60mm bases. (they used it be on 40mm!)

The OSL effect was done with a stippled drybrush and Tesseract Glow.

Standard old pewter Ork Dreadnought (Deffdread) with a plastic glyph panel from the (slightly old) Trukk kit.  Had to drill out magnets, drill new holes for magnets, and re-build parts of the sides to make it not look full of holes.  Obviously the Wreckin’ Ball is from the Trukk kit just like the Kans.

Next: More Boys Squads, a Big Mek in Mega Armour, a Dakkarig, and soon, the final entry in my Tyranid fleet!
