Legions Imperialis Support Dreadnoughts and Land Raiders

These past two weeks, I once again did not have that much time to paint. But the time I spent, was really quite effective. I finished up the Leviathans and Deredeos for my Legions Imperialis Blood Angels and even got to the box of Land Raiders from the same collection.

The first thing I finished this time around were these Legions Imperialis Support Dreadnoughts – four Leviathans and four Deredeos. I had started them to fit in with DreadTober and I'm quite happy to have finished them in good time! Again, lovely models - its really quite impressive, what the scupltors and mold engineers manage with these miniscule figures. I really should get a second support box, to round out the detachments.

Again, seeing finished models is an amazing boost of dopamine. And I went right ahead and started putting the base colours on a box of Land Raider Explorators. I intentionally went for a squad that I thought should paint up rather fast. And as you can see, I managed to finish the six Land Raiders as well! Really quite fun to decide on two distinct squad markings as well as individual bits of heraldry with the decals. (This time around I remebered the correct order of operations here and put them on before the wash...)

Blood Angels Dreadnoughts big and small

Only a quick update today to tie a bow on my DreadTober activities: I had hoped to finish at least one of my Blood Angels Dreadnoughts as a stretch goal. Real Life™, however, interferred and I had only very little time to paint.

I did only a bit of work on these two – mainly on the gold parts. It should not take to long to finish them, but we'll have to see how much I can get done in the coming weeks... Still, I'm very happy with the progress I managed during this October!

But I did spent the time to put the remaining base colours and washes on these Legions Imperials Dreadnoughts from the support box. Annoyingly I forgot to add the decals to the models before the wash, which would be my usual work flow. I'll try and do them just before the weathering and hope it will come out similar enough.

Pict 1493: Raven Guard Delegatus (WIP)

Whilst doing the base coats on the little Dreadnoughts, I also put some colours on the Raven Guard Delegatus. At least, I did not just slap on the oilwash since the model is also missing the decals. I might try and do them when I do them on the Legions miniatures as well.
