Dreadtober - Through the Years Tally 2016-2025

Hello Dreadtober-teers, 

With a busy weekend of Titan Walk event and probably quite tired today (I will post soon on the event with loads of pictures of Titans!) so I pre-scheduled this as I wanted to share my progress of Dreadtober pledges over the years. 

Last week I finished my ninth year of participation and would like to send my gratitude to the Dreadtober-teers and organisers of this fabulous motivating hobby event! As you can see from the picture above and listed below pictures, it has enabled me to complete quite a few projects!

2025 - Two Armiger Warglaives

2024 - Cerastus Knight Lancer

2023 - Work took me away in 2023 but in the preceding 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.

2022 - Imperial Knight Canis Rex and Sir Hekhtur

2021 - Necron Canoptek Doomstalker

2020 - Relic Leviathan Dreadnought with Grav-Flux Bombards

2019 - Rogue Trader Era "Fury" Furibundus and "Eddy" Deredeo Class Dreadnoughts

2018 - MKIV Ironclad Dreadnought from Forge World

2017 - Modern Deredeo with Space Marine Casualty

2016 - Plastic Contemptor Dreadnought with re-posed legs

So thanks again, and great work to all the Dreadtober-teers this year, thanks for the inspiration and the Dreads! And thanks to Marc (Old School Gaming) 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. See you next year Dreadtober-teers!

Cheers, Siph - 9yr Veteran Dreadtober-teer ;)

Dreadtober 2025 - Week 3 - Armiger Warglaives COMPLETE

Hello Dreadtober-teers!

For those not in the know, 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, a veteran of now 9yrs with a sum of six Dreads, two Imperial Knights and a Necron Construct but now two more Armigers added to the tally!

The pair of Armiger Warglaives are now completed and I am making a Banner of Knight Armigers to take to the Titan Walk at the end of October, so a few days before Dreadtober finishes.

Here is the previous pair completed before Dreadtober, much the same as the initial three I have, but I swapped the arms around for the latest pair and used the Helverin armour without the crenellations or skull thigh motifs for some variation.

The new Armiger Warglaives to add to the pack, in AT28mm you can field a swarm of 9 of these mechanical beasties! No.7of9 has a dead Necron at the feet, as a 'Borg' tribute.

7 of 9 completed for this year's Titan Owners Club Main Walk event this weekend!

Next week I'll post a round-up of the Dreadtober over the years featuring all the pledges completed!

Cheers, Siph (20pts for 4 new Armigers)

Dreadtober 2025 - WeeMen Participating for 9th Year - Armiger Warglaives

Hello Dreadtober-teers! My favourite hobby event of the calendar year is back again for another instalment and I nearly missed it due to Titan Walks and charity hobby events recently! 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, a veteran of 9yrs with a sum of six Dreads, two Imperial Knights and a Necron Construct!

This year, a pair of Armiger Warglaives, I am making a swarm of Armigers to take to the Titan Walk at the end of October, so a few days before Dreadtober finishes I need these Walking into battle at the vanguard of my Legio Astorum Vanguard!

This was last Monday's progress along with Armiger no.5. I think I'll have 7 this year.

And this at the start of this week! Great progress has been made on Armigers 6 and 7, this year's pledge.

And on the base of Armiger 7 of 9, I had to add a Borg(Necron) construct... Star Trek reference... And better to the Dreadtober Party late than never! Here's wishing all the other Dreadtober-teers a great event this year!

Cheers, Siph
