DreadTober 2025: Week 4

 

Hi folks,

The penultimate week has passed and we are into the home stretch. Projects are at various stages of completion and the final week is upon us. Whether you are adding the finishing touches, or trying to save a project that is slipping away from you, the last week has a way of going too quickly! Let's take a look at this week's progress and see who is within striking distance.

Name: Neverness
Project: Celestial Lions Dreadnought

Neverness is close to finishing and just has some iconography to go. I really dig the use of some vintage pigments on this Dreadnought; Flesh Wash brings back some memories.

Name: Agis

Project: First legion Saturnine Dreadnought

A fantastic finish by Agis. This project showcases the new Saturnine Dreadnought perfectly. The combination of iconography and weathering is amazing.

Name: Dave Weston

Project: Adeptus Titanicus Warlord Titan

Blog: 40kaddict.uk

Dave has been busy blocking in the colours on his bonus project. He's also done a really nice job on the Red Planet BASE. He's to sure if he is going to be able to get it finished; we should all head over to his blog and cheer him on!!

The little purple Dark Angel; squeeee!! This Dreadnought look like it is close to finishing.

Progress is progress. even if it is only a red barrel. This project will take some doing to get finished before the deadline. Good luck kiddo!

Name: jabberjabber
Project: Iron Warriors Contemptor Dreadnought
Blog: Warpstone Flux - https://warpstoneflux.blogspot.com/

The decals are on and the final push to complete the tiny details is underway. I have a good feeling about this project. Apart from the fact that it is a dirty traitor engine. 

Name: Thousand Eyes/Mac an tSagart
Project: A leaping hellbrute

Name: Sachiel

Project: Bray'Arth Ashmantle
Blog: https://sachiel-returns.blogspot.com

There is a bit of work left to do on Bray'Arth. A generous wash has been laid down, adding some nice shading. Sachiel will be blocking in the main colours again and highlighting to add more depth to each surface, and adding vibrancy to those vital flames. No Salamanders model is complete without that certain degree of burnination.

Name: Siph
Project: Armiger Warglaives
Blog: https://weemen.blogspot.com

Project complete, pending final reveal.

Name: Beanz
Project: Hive Fleet Leviathan Tyrannofex

Name: OzMonster
Project: Commander Farsight and Sinanju Gundam

Oz put in a huge effort this week and finished his project off (a week after his bonus model 😎). The base reminds me of the fight between Ryu and Sagat in Manga Streetfighter II; if you know, you know. 

Name: Marc

Project: Hive Fleet Numereji Tervigon

Like Neverness, I am struggling to take a photo of my Tervigon that captures the true appearance of the metallics. Hopefully, when I get it in the lightbox, I will be able to get those reflections and colour-shifts popping. Very happy with the finish, though, and looking forward to getting it on the tabletop.

With a bunch of challengers "In Manufactorum", it sets us up for an exciting final reveal. Who will be able to finish their Dreadnoughts in time? Eternal glory awaits...
