DreadTober 2019 - Week 4 TO DONE
Welcome to DreadTober 2019 week four, and the completion of my challenge for this year. It feels great having completed two 1st Legion dreadnoughts. Here's a shot of the pair in the light box.
The Legion Dreadnought was a fun kit to build and paint. Great details are found across the whole model. Since my last post I cleaned up some minor mistakes, added some missing highlights and completed a couple remaining details, such as the twin search lights. If search lights they be...I made the decision with the Deredeo that they would be lights, and have continued that with this latest addition to the team.
I completed two pairs of arms in all - two power fists, one chainfist, and one plasmacannon. These will be interchangeable with a relic contemptor dreadnought primed and waiting for its turn on the painting table. I'm planning the run this dreadnought as pictured above with fist, chainfist and graviton guns. The plasmacannon is a themed choice and will make a good ranged option for either the legion or relic dreadnought when needed. As said in prior posts, I also have a pair of autocannon arms to assemble and paint.

Only friends and the fallen enemy see the back of this dreadnought...
I had great fun inventing some Night Lords iconography for the shattered dreadnought arm.
Another great year for DreadTober, bringing me to four years with the challenge, the last three official (I lurked through the first year, I'm embarrassed to say). I'm already looking ahead to the fifth year! But first we must get through Squaduary and #MonsterMarch4. This project is DONE.
With the completion of another project, it's time to think on what comes next. There are many projects on the to-do list that I am looking forward to. Check back soon to see where the hobby butterfly takes me...
Cheers and Happy Gaming!

ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteExcellent another pair of Dreads mate! We did good this year! Haha. Love the HH era Dark Angel Scheme.
ReplyDeleteThanks! For the record, the Deredeo was painted last winter/spring. But it does feel good to add another HH era Dark Angels dread to my (slowly) growing force. I also enjoy the 1st Legion color scheme.
DeleteGreat work! Love the look of the Dreads.
