Hi folks,
I have been so busy keeping the DreadTober blog up to date that I have neglected my own blog this month. If you are interested in seeing some more WIP shots of this little fella, check out the weekly updates I have already posted there!
Overall, DreadTober seems to have been going well this year. The number of page views have been down in line with how all blogs seem to be going at the moment, but there is a solid core of contributors that have been diligently posting their progress and commenting. As I have mentioned previously, I would far prefer to have less views in exchange for more engagement, so I am content that the challenge has been getting out to the people who count. It has been particularly great to see some of my contacts form other 40K circles getting involved, particularly the 2nd Edition Army Challenge folks and some mates from Australia (g'day Dippa!!).
My project this year is the final nail in my "Walls of Ithaka" coffin. This is a 1500 point Imperial Knight army I have been working on since winning a Knight Warden a while back. Next post I'll see if I can get them all together for a photo shoot. The Armiger Warglaive "Patroclus" Audax (or, "Courageous Patroclus", if you prefer...) is the squire of "Achilles" Aeternum, who I painted for DreadTober last year. He'll gain advantages from being next to the Preceptor, which creates a nice in-game dynamic for them that reflects their relationship in Homer's Iliad.
Love the pose with the sword arm ready! And the effects on the sword itself and the Melta are really well done. A great piece!
ReplyDeleteCheers! I wasn't sure about the pose, but didn't want to just have the arms by its sides. I am really happy with the finish :-)
DeleteCongrats on the completion. Another fine addition to the Knight's force. Love the custom sword! And thanks for the many hours put into the DreadTober challenge. I had a great time with it this year and will for years to come. It's in my blood now regardless. Thanks for that! ;-)
ReplyDeleteThanks mate :-) The DreadTober work certainly isn't over yet, the last couple of posts always take a big chunk of time to do well. I have had a few people, who disappeared off the radar early in the month, return with fully completed projects! Thanks for participating and I look forward to doing it all again next year.
DeleteLove the stabby blade and fits right in with your larger Brother Knight from last year
ReplyDeleteThat sword looks like a giant rusty anti-knight shiv :-) I need to take some more photos of the whole army, this one does fit in quite well with the larger knights.
