man serious!!!! I needs to get me one of those...

[Fowlplaychiken]

What IS that? Super cool. Too big to be a dread, too small to be a titan

[Drew da Destroya]

That's incredible! Wow, I might be making a Forgeworld purchase....

[George Labour]

Hrmm so it looks like it will fill the role stompas originally had in their Space Marine (epic) incarnations. That of a land raider sized walker to small to be a war engine.

Though I expect this one will be treated much like the heavy tanks introduced in the Vraks book. THat'd be the Malcador and Macharius that are basically a step between leman russ, and baneblade. Only this one will be rippy and stompy.

Now, if only they'd make some affordable Admech knights to go up against it. Heck, even FW prices if it was spiffy enough.

[vipernyc]

wow. do want. Just when I think FW can't possibly top themselves, they do.

[Lamenter]

Counts as Stompa anyone?

Absolutely love the Ork stuff Forgeworld has been churning out of late.

[oni]

It's way to small to be a stompa. It's a super heavy dreadnought.

The Mega-Dread is a hulking, armour-plated monster of a walker, much larger and considerably more powerful than the more commonly encountered Killa Kans and Deff Dreads in the Orkish arsenal. Mega-Dreads are usually fitted with a combination of weapons, including some such as the Killkannon which are simply too powerful for their smaller counterparts to carry, and Rippa-claws; gigantic shear-bladed pincers able to rip open heavily armoured tanks like ripe fruit.
Some mekboyz specialize in building these eccentric creations which make for deadly fighters and devastating siege-breakers, with no two they create exactly alike. They fit enormous hydraulic power in a relatively compact frame which makes them extremely flexible on the battlefield, as opposed to the much larger but less mobile Stompa, (which while mounting a plethora of guns is more akin to a walking fortress than a dreadnought in battle.)
Mega-Dreads are highly prized by Ork Warbosses, may of which are willing to hand over a fortune in Teef to acquire them, few Big Meks have the skill to create them and the competition to pilot them is fierce. Orks that do so often go quite insane with the joy of the sheer damage their machines can inflict.

Actually a shame it's too small for a smaller Stompa or too big for a regular Dred, model looks frakin amazing though.

[George Labour]

Yeah it's going to be the orky version of a malcador, probably two structure points with 13/12/10 armor and weapon options similiar to a hybrid battlewagon/deff dred.

Or, if they're going with a normal vehicle instead of super heavy, it'll be a battlewagon that walks.

Either way it's kewl, and I want an imperial version. ^^

[wittdooley]

God, I would love if they did some AdMech Knights. I'd buy AT LEAST one.

They have experimental rules on forgeworld and this model is freaking awesome and go check out the killa krusha that tank is insane looking.

[The West Coast Knight]

Don't care what the rules are I just know the new Ork stuff is going to hurt me in the wallet.
I am getting all of it!!!!!!!!!!

[warpcrafter]

Here are the experimental rules for the Mega Dread and a new Ork superheavy tank. I can hear the wind whistling through my empty bank account now.

[Shadowseer]

i love how it still is a kan with big shootas a p-claw and a big gun with a kan in the middle under all that armour XD This 'ere is Jimmy STOMP STOMP

[George Labour]

Hmm if I did the pounds to dollars conversion right the mega dred comes in at about 113 dollars. This means it's not a bad value considering how much some charge for garage kits of Knight paladins, and how much works would go into scratch building something similiar.

Saying it again, if they made an admech version for a similiar price I'd get it.

[krispy]

lovely model, and the rules make a fun read too ;) all the possible mishaps etc

lol

/k

[Skragger]

Habbida Habbida Habbida.. suddenly pushing several hundred forgeworld's way seems like a phenominal idea :D

[mercer]

Thats a awesome bit of kit. I'm tempted to treat myself and buy that, I reckon would come to about £50 all in all :)

[oni]

Price is £65.55 GBP which is $107.50 USD.

[mercer]

That include deilvery and the arms? Annoys me arms are seperate...:(

[vman]

Insane looking model i want one

[icecube]

If i counted right, it costs 72,47 euros with both arms(i live in finland BTW). Could actually afford one;)

[oni]

$107.50 USD includes the arms, but not shipping.

[Watching Paint Dry]

Wow, My jaw dropped when I saw these. If I didn't have such a back log painting stuff I'd seriously consider buying this asap.
