Dreadtober 2022 - WeeMen Participating for the 7th Year!

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 at the end of this post below, a veteran of 6yrs with a sum of six Dreads and a Necron Construct!

This year I will be attempting something a little bigger, a Imperial Knight Preceptor, in the guise of Canis Rex, Chainbreaker! A long overdue model which I have had languishing in the hobby to-do pile for far too long. (I am scheduling these posts and starting mid-September to mid-October as I will be returning to work at sea before the end, so following winds and fair seas to all my Dreadtober-teers!)

This week I will be concentrating on the main build of the miniature, keeping the armour plates separate for ease of painting.

Wish us Dreadtober-teers luck and hobby goodness. Cheers, Siph
