Dreadhead

 Not Quite Dreadtober

I while I definitely do have a dreadnought that I want to paint up, I am not really ready for Dreadtober this time around.  I have too many other projects that I want to focus on at the moment. But maybe later in the month. 


At least one more go through the paint stripper. Particularly for the body section. 


While imperial dreadnoughts were in the Rogue Trader rulebook, dreadnoughts really came to life in WD100. With a 14 page article by Rick Priestley and shiny new Eldar dreadnought models. Including some really cool pictures of dreads in action.

I had plenty of dreadnoughts in my Eldar army, including 'Green Peace' my Banshee class dreadnought. While the paintjob on the dreadnought wasn't particularly special, I did paint up a pair of banners which I was very proud with a howling sun design. Unfortunately I don't have any better pictures (or the dreadnought!) of this mini. 


But when I get around to painting the replacement Banshee, there will be a definite nod to the original.

  2. The slender frame of the Eldar dreadnought so iconic! This will look great once painted up!

  3. Thanks for the comments, I still think that the Eldar dreadnought is an iconic design.
