Hello Dreadtober-teers! My favourite hobby event of the calendar year is back again for another instalment. This year is yet again being run by Marc (Old School Gaming) so a massive thanks to him for keeping the hobby event alive for another year! And thanks to the founder Greggles, and Joe B and Todd (Sincain40K) and Joel (Mordian7th) for their contributions through the years too.
Dreadtober is an annual event held over the month of October where hobbyists pledge to do a dreadnought-sized model from the to-do pile and get it finished, starting 1st Oct and hopefully completing 31st Oct (Halloween/All Hallows Eve) with lots of progress shots and encouragement along the way :) and I like to partake in Dreadtober, and have done for a few years, you can see the fruits of this labour in the picture below, a veteran of 8yrs with a sum of six Dreads, one Imperial Knight and a Necron Construct!
Work took me away in 2023 but in the preceeding months I completed a number of Dreadnoughts in honour of Dreadtober, so they could be schedule posted alongside the participants efforts, I may have been absent but was still there in spirit. These Redemptor's were featured along with another Imperial Knight and a Castraferrum Dreadnought too!
So that brings me to this year's pledge: Another Imperial Knight, but this time a little bigger, a Forge World resin Cerastus Knight Lancer! Long overdue - they make these in plastic and I have two more to make a Knight Banner of three, but for Dreadtober the long overdue resin one will be my test piece.
