Mechanised Fury

Adam Troke examines new Space Marine, Imperial Guard and Ork vehicle kits through conversations with their designers. The Venerable Dreadnought offers interchangeable weapon arms and extensive personal decoration, the Chimera gains a revised hull and Ork walkers combine ramshackle character with carefully compatible components. Existing transports and a personal Deff Dread conversion show how the new releases can expand both battlefield collections and modelling possibilities.

Ancient Heroes

Colin Grayson and Tom Walton explain the Venerable Dreadnought’s alternative sarcophagi, helmets, armour plates and weapon arrangements. References to older Space Marine designs support its ancient identity, while plug-in guns let players change armament without rebuilding the model. Compatibility with the other plastic Dreadnoughts and the annotated frame map make the kit a source of conversions as well as a decorated veteran in its own right.

Waaagh! Da Orks

Dale Stringer describes developing Seb Perbet’s Deff Dread prototype into plastic walkers with interchangeable guns, limbs and decorative components. Killa Kans can share parts with one another and with the larger Dread, while Warbike exhausts and Battlewagon mounts extend their compatibility across the Ork range. The frame breakdowns reveal how deliberate engineering supports the appearance of improvised machines and gives Meks numerous starting points for further alterations.
