Proper weapons on the dread would go a long way. Grav bombard is not a legal option for a redemptor and you are missing weapons that define a redemptor dread. When models that have rules for the army you are playing as models they are not you ask a lot from your opponent, more even than just using bottle caps and tin cans as proxy. Two steps, forget the rules you  know and remember what the heck they are. On a clock this process can lead to significant time loss and mistakes.

 

Changing the silhouettes can help. Certainly not using terminators as terminators along side terminators not as terminators in the same list would be positive.  A theme that fits some sort of shared lore can make the cognitive load less onerous. 

 

A kitbash is successful if it is immediately recognized as to what it represents in the context of the army it is in.

Thank you to Tychobi for getting the wheel turning in my head about using weapons more like the the normal dreads have.   Having played multiple imperial factions I was picking through my bits and came up with these to represent the Gatling Cannon and Macro Plasma Mega Super Cannon or whatever it’s really called. What do think friends?

I don't own a Leviathan so I'm not sure about the exact scale, but I feel like the Leman Russ plasma cannon is a bit big. If you have a spare Deimos Predator plasma cannon and tactical support plasma cannon, I'd try building a weapon out of those. The assault cannon is good but I'd probably add some stuff to it so it makes a bit more believable like an ammo magazine and an ejection port.

I have no problem with the Leviathan being used as a Redemptor, but do agree about the weapon changes. Will you be able to swap out the weapons if you want to use it as a Leviathan again?
 

I’m considering doing something similar and making a HH army that can double up for 40K. My plan was to do things like using a plasma gun squad as hellblasters and combining meltagun and multimelta squads to use as eradicators. Definitely wouldn’t be as ambitious as this though!

 

The dread looks great, keep the pics coming!
