So this is just a kitbash; mainly head swaps, of my Dreadnoks. I have always loved the Noks and wanted to try to see if I could create a new look for them. In my Joe-verse they have now graduated from a biker gang to a highly trained specialized Cobra strike force team. Enjoy the pics and CC is always welcomed; this is my first post with pics ever...

Love this. A more militarized Dreaedknok group? Look the f**k out G.I. Joe.

Awesome kitbashes here.

I like this a lot! I've been thinking about upgrades for the dreadknoks with the better articulation. Some of the 25 th early releases are downright terrible. Good show.

Thanks a lot, I kinda really like the idea of the Noks becoming more professional while still being gritty and dirty.

I like what you've done. I don't have the Dreadnocks aside from Zartan as the idea of a Biker Gang vs a Spec Ops team never made sense to me. But this does. I like the idea of a disgruntled ex-military group that come home to very little and eventually take their skills and put them to work. Gritty and not as professional but still capable. I think to really put this over the top, some paint here and there to personalize the outfits/armor a bit. Nothing major. Some of it can stay the same. Just enough to show they have their own flare.

Yeah I believe that's my next step...I have never used paint before and they seem like a good introduction project to try a little out on

Check out all the tutorials here on the tank in the "General Projects Discussion". Lots of talented people here and thankfully they share their thoughts, ideas, and approaches with the rest of us. :)

Totally love this. This reminds me of the ARAH episode "World's Without End" where the Dreadnok's were police officers.

I love these. I always thought of the Noks as more of an ex-IRA type group of soldiers instead of the grape soda-drinking buffoons they were portrayed as. I love these guys. Consider this stolen.

I really wish we could have gotten POC updates to Buzzer, Torch, and Ripper. I think a POC update ala Sons of Anarchy would have been killer.

Yeah I totally agree with this; that would had been nice. SOA versions would be awesome too.

The idea of the 'Noks being pissed off vets is awesome!!
May have to use that idea in my Joe-verse!
Kinda like a 3000 Miles to Graceland/Three kings/Jarhead/Heat mash-up!!!
Gotta find some cheap 'Noks for sale. . . .

Wish hasbro would just get the rights and make samcro. Than the fat body (piny/bobby) could be reused for comic soft master, comic blind master, renegade roadblock & heavy duty, the fat trooper from sunbow and a horror show. Yeah yeah joe con but they still could do a single card.

Those are some fantastic pictures. I would hate to think what the 'Noks would do if they managed to get their hands on some real hardware and weapons!

Looking at the pics all I can think of is the Dreadnoks were in disguise as Cobra to distract the Joes. I like how they look, this is a great idea.
