Dreadtober 2019 - Completed RT era Dreads "Eddy" and "Fury"

Hello Dreadtober-teers, thanks for dropping by. Here is the fruits of my labours, thanks for the encouragement along the way! So, meet "Eddy" Deredeo Class and "Fury" Furibundus Class Venerable Dreadnoughts. 
A big thanks to Joel (Mordian7th) for keeping the hobby event alive for another year! And thanks to the founder Greggles, and Joe B and Todd (Sincain40K) for their contributions over the years. And a huge thanks to all the contributors who make this a great success!
"Eddy" has a STC double shot firing Lascannon (Dual Lascannon) and Dreadnought Close Combat Weapon with Stormbolter. "Fury" has a Missile Launcher and STC Lascannon. I will be playing both of these as Venerable Dreadnoughts, quite fitting for these relics of Rogue Trader era.
As for height wise, here is a comparison between the old metal RT era Dreadnoughts and the modern plastics, the Venerable Dreadnought. I only have friendly games so I am not worried about modelling for advantage using the smaller ones.
And here is a shot of the whole Dreadtober collection so far, from 2016 a modified plastic Contemptor; in the centre a Forge World Deredeo with Autocannons and Missile Launcher and SM casualty on the base; from 2018 a Forge World Mk4 Ironclad and finally the two RT Dreads.

Cheers all, thanks for looking and cheers for your support, Siph.

    I still feel dread looking at those original RT era dreadnaughts, mine never stayed together when used and the fit was awful. Nicely painted resin jobs look good though.

      Phil, the trick is 2-part Epoxy Resin glue, not superglue which is too brittle and doesnt survive drops. These are more sturdy than most models, the 2-part resin like JB Weld is hard as nails and not at all brittle.

    I dread to think what you'll do next year.

      Haha... I'll have to buy a new one as after 14 Dreads, my Dread to-do pile is empty.... no wait, I 'found' a dual Grav Bombard Leviathan with Dread Drop Pod! Maybe that is next year's project! haha

      Oh, you 'found' it did you? I assume you burned the receipts...
