By name and by deeds, they FEAR NOTHING! With October a couple of weeks away, it is time to start planning your Dreadnought themed project for DreadTober.
DreadTober brings people together from all around the world to share in the hobby we all love. Last year we followed the progress of 16 hobbyists as they awakened the machine spirit of their projects. Who will answer the call in 2026? The invitation is open to all.
This year I have also set up an Instagram account to share our progress, please join and share the dread @dreadtober.
How to Join
Collectors of every faction and game are welcome to participate; the only guideline is that your model should fit on a 60 mm base (or larger!). Something with legs, or equivalent, is more likely to fit the theme. 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, or let us know which Discord server you like to haunt. Additionally, using the hashtag #dreadtober2026 will help people find your work.
Example:
Name: Marc
Project: Blood Angels Castraferrum Dreadnought

Instagram: @m4cr0dutch
Progress Deadlines
I will be doing a round-up of progress at the end of each week. The 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. Note: this year, the first Friday is only the 2nd day of the month, so a photo to show your starting point would be appropriate.
If you have questions about participating please ask; I aim to be inclusive as possible. Feel free to share the invitation to join with your friends and followers.
Good luck everyone; eternal glory awaits!!

Welcome Dawe; I have loved looking at some of your other Dreads on Instagram!
ReplyDeleteMarc, just to be sure — is it enough to post on Instagram with the @dreadtober tag and #dreadtober2026, or would you rather I send the links each week? Just put up my first post: https://www.instagram.com/p/Dd63glvCsGP/
DeleteHi Dawe, it is easiest if you post with the #dreadtober2026 tag. I will also follow your account and stay updated that way. Thanks for clarifying!

Welcome Chris; looking forward to seeing some old school Sentinels.
DeleteWhile I have been slacking with my blog posts, I will do something for DreadTober! I recently started to paint an Eldar Dreadnought - perfect for this year! I might try and find something more boxy to do as well, but I'll have to dive into my backlog for that.
