DreadTober 2020: Week 4 progress - Into the home stretch

 

Well, we're into the last week of DreadTober and it's time to get the remaining "things" done.

The dread is pretty far along.  I have the base to complete, but before getting into that I decided to tackle the transfers. I'm using  the recently released Dark Angels transfer sheet for Horus Heresy from Forge World.  It's got quite a lot on it. 

I decided this Dread is a member of the Stormwing (one of the orders of the Hexagrammaton) and a Terran veteran who has served the Emperor since the wars for Unity back on Terra.  I had to avoid some of the many neat symbols for now as I have absolutely no idea what they represent; and I'm a stickler for cleaving to the lore.   But I was able to discern some of what is there from the most recent Black book.

There are lots of cools stuff like this ancient symbol of the Legion on the sheet.

A red Lion symbol declares allegiance to the Primarch Lion'el Johnson, and the wings on the left shoulder reflect allegiance to the Dark Angels Legion using iconography from before the Lion was rediscovered and made Primarch over the First Legion.

The stylized number '1' on the left leg further celebrates membership among the Emperor's Dark Angels. 

So with that bit of frippery out of the way, I can get on with the project.   Should be little trouble bringing this in on time.  The base will go quickly, hopefully leaving me time to refine the highlights and look to any other details that have gone missed up to this point.

See you all at the finish line.

And stay safe out there.

Cheers and Happy Gaming!
