DreadTober 2021 is About to Start!

 



By name and by deeds, they FEAR NOTHING! With October only a week away, it is time to start planning your Dreadnought themed project for DreadTober. 

In previous years, DreadTober has been a fun community event that brings people together from all around the world to share in the hobby we all love. Last year we followed the progress of 20 participants, working on a wide variety of inspiring projects, as they strived hard to beat the deadline. Some were attempting the challenge for the first time, others were veterans with multiple Dreadtobers under their belts. Who will answer the call in 2021?

Collectors of every faction are welcome to participate; the only guideline is that your model should fit on a 60 mm base (or larger!).

If you would like to be involved, please post your name, project and site/blog address in the comments. If you post primarily on other social media sites, feel free to provide a link so that people can find you and follow your progress. Additionally, you can use the hashtag #dreadtober. 

Example:

Name: Marc

Project: Armiger Warglaive

Blog: http://oldschoolg4m1ng.blogspot.com/

I will be doing a round-up of progress at the end of each week (progress deadline is every Friday at midnight), with the aim of posting your work here every Saturday until the end of October, with a final post or two at the start of November to celebrate our successes.

Feel free to ask questions if you need help sharing your progress. Good luck everyone; eternal glory awaits!!

      I'm hoping it will kickstart my hobby again, but currently I'm very much in the doldrums with little motivation at all. I suppose there's only so much justification to paint and build when you're not actually using the models for anything.

      On the plus side if I physically attend an Armies on Parade I will be taking Knights so I could do with these being completed...
