A WIP update


Ave Dominus Nox brothers!

 

So I wanted to try out something a little different today and share one of the Phase 2 projects currently sitting on my paint desk.

He once killed a man with a pencil… a pencil???

 

This big boy is the GW Night Lords Leviathan Dreadnought – an absolutely lovely model, so I haven’t felt the need to add too much to it. You’ll see I’ve popped on a nice VIII Legion banner courtesy of Dragoon Gaming, and I’m adding a few chains across the shoulders which are not quite finished.

What a banner! What a lovely banner!
 

The base is still to do and the biggest thing… he is currently armless!

 

I have the close combat sprue which helpfully came with no assembly instructions – thankfully I managed to root these out online (praise the dark gods). The plan is to magnetise these so I can swap between different armaments in the future.

It’s OK - if I never assemble this he will always have his pencil!

 

Rest assured, this guy already has a name and I’m looking forward to finishing him off and getting some paint on him.

 

I’m a bit behind on these Phase 2 builds as I’ve been ill over the last few weeks and haven’t had much energy. Roll on better health!

 

Anyway, hope you found this of interest.

 

Until next time brothers - keep storming!

The model looks awesome. From the pictures, I could not tell if the banner was already mounted. Is there a clean surface for adding the banner? I seem to remember running into issues with an old FW version of the sculpt.

You will have to show us what you do with the magnets. This could be instructional for a lot of people.

Great use of that banner and rather fight it in its current load out….power armor stops pencils!!! Except those wielded by John Wick or the Joker. imperial victory!

Thank you, it is a great model to put together so can’t take any credit there! I’ll try and take some snaps once I get things magnetised (and if it looks reasonable).

 

For those in the UK Dragoon Gaming have some nice stuff and I’ve got a few odds and ends for: them for kitbashing.
 

The model has a flat-ish surface behind the head and after dropping one of my other models twice and snapping the banner I shortened the pole so that I could subtly attach this in 3 places - I ended up gluing the bottom of the pole and then a corner of the banner each side to the shoulders. It seems pretty solid.

Ha, it’s because the imperials have those HB pencils whereas the heretics can only scavenge 2B pencils and a crappy old sharpener…
