Pop Goes the Monkey has two sweet-looking sets of bits that are perfect for converting a Dreadknight!
Join Rob takes a look at the two offerings from the folks at Pop Goes the Monkey. Because with the recent updates to Grey Knights, these bits are perfect for Dreadknights and may be right up your alley!
Dreadknight Upgrade Bits: Pop Goes The Monkey
First up we get a *clear* look at the sprue for the “Antonis” Knight. They used the slightly transparent material to cast this which is fine, but you don’t get a really good look at the details unless you prime it.
There are also some unique conversion steps you need to take with this upgrade kit. All of those directions are on the Pop website, and Rob also briefly goes over them in his video below.
Let’s take a look at the pictures from the website to get a better taste of the details on this one.
Arch Knight Carlos:
The kit Rob chose to put on his dreadknight is the “Carlos” variant. These are both designed by different artists and you can really tell. Each of them has its own style and flair, as one has that sweet tabard, and also has a much larger neck guard.
In the image above you can see how the parts would look painted up to help your imagination even further.
With the upgrade kit, “Carlos” fully assembled and primed we really get to see all the detail in view! These designs ditch the marine inside for a more traditional-looking mech and a fuller armor set. The armor is definitely thicker too, which might be a better representation for the punch these guys can pack on the tabletop!
Check out the video below for Rob’s full breakdown and thoughts on all these models! Be sure to watch the video below for Rob’s full breakdown!

Spikey Bits sprung from Rob staying motivated to hobby on his backlog of projects, while sharing his knowledge with others during the early blogging era.

It’s even rumored that his hobby vault rivals the Solemnance Galleries, containing rulebooks filled with lore from editions long past, ancient packs of black-bordered Magic Cards, and minatures made of pewter and resin.
