DreadTober 2020: Week 3 progress - We're stuck in, boyz!

Greetings.  We're drawing to the close of week three (ok, week two if you didn't count the 1st-3rd as week one...still not sure what to do there...) and making decent progress. I got the rest of the metal "skeleton" of the dread based and shaded.

Then it was time to get the head glued in and start edge highlighting the black armor. The highlighting is time consuming, but I'm getting the hang of it as I continue to manage projects that require edge highlights. 😆  practice makes better...

I got the Storm Cannon painted up; or at least well underway. I'm pretty excited about where I got it to so far.  If you get past the fact that it looks to carry about 5s of ammo for full auto, it's a mean looking weapon.

Looking good even from behind.  Gearing has received a little brass work (behind the knees, elbows, etc.).  Armor highlights all around.

I also got the snippy claw painted a bit further with armor highlights, metal elbow and some copper tubing. Moving right along...

So that's where I stand firmly in the middle of the month, and the challenge. Great progress and I can see where I should end up.  At some point there will be a big splash of color as I paint on some more 1st legion heraldry, probably in the form of red/black checkers. I continue to waffle on what areas I want to put the heraldry on, which is why I haven't painted it on yet.

Best wishes to the field of DreadToberteers. I love seeing all the great progress on so many different projects.

Stay safe out there.

Cheers and Happy Gaming!

  1. Hell yeah DAM, the DA scheme in black is far superior to the greens of modern DA. Perhaps cheques on a Shoulder piece?
