DreadTober 2020 Week 2: Red Dread Redemption

 

Hi folks,

Another week has gone and we are now at the half-way mark! I don't know about you, but that freaks me out just a little bit. My project is nowhere near 50% complete, but that is no cause for despair. A few solid sessions can make a huge difference in challenges like this. 

Once again, it has been a joy searching through everyone's blogs and social media profiles hunting for progress. Let's take a look:

Name: Dave

Project: Tyranid Tyrannofex (plus weapon options)

Blog: 40kaddict.uk

Some solid progress on the Tyrannofex, with first highlights on the body, some basing and great detail on the head underway.

Name: Dave

Project: Death Guard Leviathan (Redemptor conversion)

Blog: dadhammer40k.blogspot.com and@borsil1981 on Instagram

It looks like this Dave has nailed this project already and is on to the bonus round with some gooey Blight -Haulers. Fantastic work!

Name: DaveM

Project: 1st Legion (Dark Angels) Leviathan Dreadnought

Blog: http://262krieg.blogspot.com/

Some amazing progress on the venerable old fella. I'm looking forward to seeing more Dark Angels heraldry go in during the next phase. And checkers. So many checkers.

NAME: Neverness

PROJECT: Black Legion Hellbrute.

BLOG: https://nevernesshobby.blogspot.com

This project is looking suitably brutal, with some great additions to make it unique.

Name: Rory

Project: Contemptor-Galatus (Custodes of the Damned)

Blog: https://steppingbetweengames.com/galatus-dreadtober-2020-1/

Rory has been working on one of my favourite Dreadnought variants; a Contemptor-Galatus with a uniqued and spooky theme.

Name: Floyd Lawton

Project: Red Corsairs Hellbrute

Blog: https://1stlegionchronicles.blogspot.com/

Floyd has been building up the colour scheme on this Hellbrute.

Name: Siph

Project: Space Marine Leviathan

Blog: https://weemen.blogspot.com/

Siph has made some progress on the legs and construction/magnetization of the arms.

Name: Doc

Projects: Leviathan Dread and Reaver Titan for Titanicus

Blog: www.code40k.blogspot.com

Doc has DreadTober in the bag with this amazing Leviathan Dread. The weathering is so subtle and realistic; really inspiring stuff.

Name: James

Project: Flesh Tearers Redemptor

Instagram: @40k_take_two

Construction has begun! It's never too late to get stuck into DreadTober.

Name: jabberjabber

Project: Contemptor Mortis for Shattered Legions (Salamanders)

Blog: http://warpstoneflux.blogspot.com

Some burning knee action thanks to contrast paints and wet-blending.

Name: Joe

Project: Trio of Talos (tres bien!)

Blog: joesavestheday.com

These evil creations are just fantastic. Steady progress on the "normalish" figures coupled with some really evocative conversion work.

Name: David

Project: 2nd Edition Imperial Fists Dreadnought

Instagram: @3dfoundry

If this doesn't press you nostalgia button I don't know what will (or you are too young...). Bright yellow, clean and old school as heck. Square base! Oh my heart. In the next stage David will be adding more depth, but this is a brilliant start.

Name: Agis

Project: Custodes Achillus Dreadnought

Blog: http://agis40k.blogspot.com/

Do you remember that embryonic dreadnought last week...

Holy moly... go and check out Agis' blog for extra photos, this is an amazing Dread'.

Name: Mike Munson

Project: Chaos Knight and Hellbrute (so far...)

You see that cheeky "so far..." up there. Yeah, well, here's another Hellbrute from Mike.

Name: M4cr0Dutch

Project: Imperial Knight Preceptor "Achilles" Aeternum

Me, well, I got a little distracted last week. I bought my son a Deff Dread on Ebay; it was a real rescue job. Bits broken off everywhere, horrible undercoat, glue caked on, dust like you wouldn't believe. Anyway, we have been working on it together as a father/son project and we added the last touches to the base last night. It is a Dread, so it counts I guess!

That's it for the Week 2 round-up! I'm sure you agree that there has been some fantastic progress with a lot more to come. I am monitoring the progress in 7 day chunks, with a few days extra to account for late-comers and collating time (it takes... a while...). The Week 3 round-up should be next Friday (23rd October), preparing us for the final run to the end of the month. Good luck everyone!
