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...
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!

Big, rompy and stompy and nicely painted in very vibrant colours. Dare I ask what the sharp pointed tail thing is protruding from his backside?
ReplyDeleteI believe that after the big robot has stomped over you it then sits on you, making sure you are properly stomped. Sounds orkish, but I have no other explanation!
DeleteA real classic, Teemu. Nice work on this big, stompy fellow!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, Stuart! It was a pleasure to paint.
DeleteThanks Curt, very... interesting design, I agree. I like how the red makes him look even more... disgusting?
ReplyDeleteA real blast from the past brilliantly executed - well done!
ReplyDeleteVery colourful Teemu!
ReplyDeleteVery nice big stompy thing
ReplyDeleteOnly two skulls, what was going on back in the 80s 😆
ReplyDeleteYeah, the design principles have definitely changed. :)
DeleteFantastic old school coolness! Love it!
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure that's a skull head, as well as the skully knees.
ReplyDeleteThat could be, but I don't want to be too greedy...
DeleteOh man, that is a "classic" sculpt from back in the day...interesting item Teemu!
ReplyDeleteThanks Greg, that really is an oldie.
DeleteFantastic - living the colour Teemu
ReplyDeleteOops loving the colour that was meant to be!
DeleteThanks! I was a bit worried how the colours would work together.
DeleteExcellent old school dread and old school paint job Teemu. Very fun.
ReplyDeleteOld school cool!
ReplyDeleteA fantastic stompy robot, Teemu! I have one in my mountain of neglect awaiting to be sent to one of my CSM factions. He is looking fabulous in red!
ReplyDeleteGreat work on a cool blast from the past, Teemu!
