Hi all.

 

So. Previously on this thread, I've spoken of hitting a bit of a lull, and looking/waiting for the next idea that will spur me on.

 

This happened with some of the titan detailing.

 

It happened again with the Legion aircraft.

 

And then again with the Cybernetica.

 

All for different reasons, and all have been rectified for different reasons.

 

It's happened again. As much as I want to press on with the Gargants, I'm finding it really really tricky to make stuff look Orky but still functional - and that's even taking into account the lore that much of the Ork stuff shouldn't be functional and only is because of latent psychic Waaagh power!

 

So despite trying to make progress, I've not really, and that's caused me to come to a halt. Which is a shame because I really want to finish the Orks off! I do love me some Gargants!

 

Luckily, I've had an idea already! I'm going to try to redo the Incaedus dreadnought - not as an offshoot pattern of the Battle-pear, but as a distinct class of it's own, with the jump paraphernalia being somewhat more integrated-looking!

 

And then there is the Deredeo... Which I'm aiming to take some inspiration from the below image to update.

 

Hopefully I'll have something to show for it soon...

INCAEDUS DREADNOUGHT:

 

A big chunk of work on the new Incaedus dreadnought!

Tried to make it a bit of a halfway house between a Contemptor and Leviathan, but also picking up some cues from the Custodes dreads given that this is a Blood Angels ONLY pattern, and they tend to try to make their massive killing engines of death a bit more "artistic" and "pretty"!

 

 

Despite me having previously said this is more of a 30k modelling project, i decided to make this a "Death Company" dreadnought - so post-Heresy 30k - rather than keeping everything in red.  Couple of reasons for this - the weapon loadout matches the Death Company better; the colour breaks up the sea of red i'd otherwise have ; and critically, this enables me to make "Moriar The Chosen" that the observant elders amongst us may recall as the named character dread that was the only named character addition to the Blood Angels in the 3E Codex.

 

The torso multi-meltas are a bit of a placeholder - i think i'll replace these with twin Volkites.

A bit of an update on the new dreadnought model:

 

 

Mostly just some tweaking and detailing, but it's taking final shape now.

That said, i've got the slightly painful job of going back and doing the armour banding to do.
