+++Dreadtober 2016: Part 4+++
The participants of Dreadtober normally show me up, I have accepted that and moved on. Tzeentch has a twisted path for us all. But now my own set of Dreadtober maniacs are out doing me as well! I shall have to get a move on and show them who is potentially boss.
Please do drop a comment below for the folks, everyone is looking for feedback.
Thousand Sons Hellbrute – Rory(aka me)
“Well I had to knuckle down and catch up with the rest of my Dreadtober crew, which made me regret going with trying out some new techniques. Also it made me further hate all the trim on Chaos stuff…. so much trim… But still I moved on and started to use the paint to try blend in my green stuff work and make my happy little snake arm shine. I really like how it turned out in the end. I actually used a second blue along the armour edges to add some colour. Not sure how it works, but folks like Mordian do it and it looks good.
What areas do you think need working on next before it is finished?”

Super bonus Tyranid by Pluckysixyearold
“I painted my Tyranid once daddy had sprayed it black because I didn’t like the colours I had
used which was gold and random pinks and blues.”
 |
| I don’t know about you but I think this is amazing. |

Tyrannofex – Marcus Sebeca
“After painting 120 Termagaunts and base coating another 120 Hormagaunts, working on a single large critter has been a chance to just relax and enjoy an hour or so when the opportunity presented itself over the last few weeks. Looking forward even more to painting up the Hierodules that are currently sat safe and undercoated in their box.”

Doom Scythe – Kroff – Completed!
“First ever time painting a vehicle of any kind. Enjoyed it and was fun painting.”
 |
| Doom Scythe is coming for you! |
 |
| Doom Scythe – I am liking the ominous glow. |
Tau Battlesuit – Mo
“Just doing some basing, turns out my agrellan earth maybe to old and has dried up to much as it no longer cracks whoops. Still more work to do on it, have also done some hand painted markings on the drone and battlesuit.”
 |
| Battlesuit bases and bonus sneaky drone. |
“Base is still not finished but is slowly coming on. I’ve got some slight touches on the red to go. Minor battle damage will be added soon and the biggest part (in other words the bit I’m most worried about) is source lighting on the plasma vents, I’ve never tried it before so I’m worried I’m going to destroy all my hard work right at the end.”
 |
| Tau Crisis Battlesuit – watch that first step it is a trick one… |
 |
| Tau Crisis Battlesuit – with lovely freehand sept markings. |
