From TeemuL: Chaos Dreadnought (20 points)

My last mini of 2025 is big one. This is a Chaos Dreadnought from the 1980s. I guess I should have painted him (or her) in the all the colours of the rainbow to honor the past, but in the end I decided to make him a backup for my Kill Team project. The colours are those of Magma Hounds, a fan made renegade chapter - so not my own design, but my own intereption.


Being a dreadnought (made of solid metal) he also counts as a Big Stompy Robot, contributing to that side challenge. This will be most likely my only contribution to that Challenge, but one for the team!


Being an older model, there are only two skulls, one on each knee. He will open my Skull Challenge, too. A bit difficult to get good photos because of his size and my photographic skills, there's always a shadow somewhere...


I made a quick search and Dreadnoughts have been scored as 28mm vehicles in the past, so I ask for 20 points even though he is much smaller than a Rhino or Razorback for example. But I guess the spreadsheet is the spreadsheet and you have to live with it...


I hope I got all the labels regarding side duels... Unfortunately not a squirrel this time, but may be I'll paint something to join him later in the Challenge?


This last photo shows him with couple of his older (and smaller) friends.


20 points pretty please and Happy New Year 2026!

Ooooh, an old school Chaos Dreadnought! Now, how cool is that?!  Definitely from the 80s as his upper carapace looks like it was designed by 'A Flock of Seagulls'. 

I like your pink and bronze colour scheme as it accents the creepy claw and works in nicely with his other pals. Such a groovy mini and cast in oh-so-satisfying-all-metal.

Well done Teemu, and Happy New Year to you!
