DreadTober 2025: Week 3

 

Hi folks,

We are officially passed the half-way point and most people are busy with their paint jobs. With work getting busier I have found my hobby time getting shorter and shorter; you have to just make the most of what you've got. Consistency is key, even 20 minutes a day can make a huge difference. Let's take a look at everyone's projects!

Name: Neverness
Project: Celestial Lions Dreadnought
Blog: https://nevernesshobby.blogspot.com

Neverness has added some more metallics to the weapons and is prepping the shoulder pad for the Chapter iconography.

Name: Agis

Project: First legion Saturnine Dreadnought

Blog: https://agis40k.blogspot.com/

Agis is on schedule to finish early, after adding some amazing details and weathering to this First Legion Saturnine Dreadnought. It is going to look spectacular when fully constructed. Work has started on the base, so check out the blog for more photos!

Name: Dave Weston

Project: Adeptus Titanicus Warlord Titan

Blog: 40kaddict.uk

Dave has smashed this one out of the ballpark and started on a second project. I think it looks amazing with all the iconography; a proud engine.

Name: XarfaiEngel

Project: 2 Adeptus Titanicus Reaver Titans; stretch goal: Ghrastak (Luna Wolves Contemptor)

The armour on these Reavers is looking beautiful, what an amazing display of miniature painting skills. XarfaiEngel has some Atropos Knights on the paint table as well; check out the blog for some photos.

Name: Wachtmeister
Project: 2nd Edition Dark Angels Dreadnought
Blog: https://wachtmeisterspatrol.com
Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wachtmeisters_patrol/

Wachtmeister has added some more details to this venerable old Castraferrum. such an iconic paint scheme, hits me right in the nostalgia.

Name: Wachtmeisterson 
Project: Ork Deff Dread

Wachtermeisterson was been chipping away at this OrkDeff Dread; the highlights and baleful yellow eye are looking neat!

Name: DAM
Project: Dark Angels Brutalis Dreadnought

This project is looking super-clean so far. That red is [chef's kiss].

Name: Tom
Project: 2nd Ed Blood Axe Ork Dreadnought
Instagram: @university_dave

Tom has finished his project early, but that has not taken away from the finished product. I think you will agree that this is an absolutely amazing piece; one of my all time favourite DreadTober projects. Bravo!!

Name: Ed

Project: Night Lords Contemptor Dreadnought
Blog: https://berserkerbladeblog.blogspot.com

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

Some great metallic weathering on this Contemptor and, of course, it wouldn't be an Iron Warriors Dreadnought without hazard stripes.

Name: Thousand Eyes/Mac an tSagart
Project: A leaping hellbrute
Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/steppingbetweengames/

This guy is looking hectic; I certainly wouldn't want it to come barreling across the table towards my army 😯

Name: Sachiel

Project: Bray'Arth Ashmantle

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

Siph has finished the Warglaives and they look awesome. Check out the blog for some extra photos and to see them alongside their bretheren.

Name: Beanz
Project: Hive Fleet Leviathan Tyrannofex

Beanz has bought some Blu Tack to start work on undercoating his sub-assemblies. C'mon mate, you can do it!!

Name: OzMonster
Project: Commander Farsight and Sinanju Gundam

OzMonster managed to finish his Gundam in between tinkering with the cherry blossoms on Farsight's base. He had a careful think about what to do with the flat area on the base and has opted for some green grass tufts to contrast against the red armour of the suit. Hopefully, the tufts get delivered in time!

I have been working on the birthing sac, which was quite a process. A splash of Tamiya Clear Red adds a level of grossness to the the whole thing!

Now that we are on the home-stretch, projects are starting to take shape and take on a life of there own. Good luck this week with your painting, I look forward to seeing more projects being completed. As always, if you have the time, check out some of the blogs on offer and let people know what you think about their projects.
