Showcase: Dreadfleet Bloody Reaver
The last one to be presented traditionally is Count Noctilus’ flag ship, the Bloody Reaver. I wonder what the concept sketches for this one looked like before it ended up being a castle atop a mountain on a skull island on top of ship wrecks,…
Showcase: Dreadfleet Grimnir’s Thunder (and monsters!)
Grimnir’s Thunder, always a fan favourite. Again, a very unique design AND it comes with a unique auxiliary vessel! A Dwarven ironclad with gun turrets and airships to launch. And a little mini-me to paddle along (on the base). Another cool model. Like the skabrus…
Showcase: Dreadfleet Heldenhammer
It’s huge and red and has an unholy amount of firepower and a giant mechanical golden man with a huge hammer in the front – it’s the Heldenhammer! It’s amazing how they managed to turn this into such a comparatively clean and sombre design, isn’t…
Showcase: Dreadfleet Flaming Scimitar
Today I would like to show you the Flaming Scimitar. I probably wrote it each time I painted and posted this model before, but I really dig this one. Over the decades, GW didn’t exactly shower us in models from Araby, so the Scimitar is…
Showcase: Dreadfleet Auxiliary Cogs
Today I’ll show you a bunch of small, but important items from the Dreadfleet set – the Auxiliary Cogs. These are rather tiny indeed. The base diameter must be about penny sized. Each of them goes with one of the capital ships, and just painting…
Showcase: Dreadfleet Shadewraith
It’s a G-g-g-g-ghost Ship! The Shadewraith is always painted greenish-white to some extent because it’s the Flying Dutchman and all. With this one I tried to turn up the super- (or un- if you prefer) natural look up several nudges and went for an extra…
Showcase: Dreadfleet Skabrus & Black Kraken
Covering both of ‘the Ickies’ today – the Skaven Skabrus and the Chaos Dwarf inspired Black Kraken. I love painting the Skabrus model. Mostly because it’s such a welcome change from all the other ships in the Dreadfleet box. These miniatures being very small scale…
Showcase: Dreadfleet Swordfish
Arrr, it’s the pirate ship! With the ladycaptain! …and the cool sail designs. This time I went for a wood plank coloured deck instead of the black one. Makes the ship look more ‘proper’ whilst sacrificing a bit of tightness on the colour scheme, but…
Showcase: Dreadfleet Curse of Zandri
Proceeding with the latest Dreadfleet ships! This time it’s the Curse of Zandri, the Khemri ship. Always a joy to paint, not the least because it doesn’t have bloody sails to bother with. 😉 It’s a really cool design too, with these obsidian coloured statues…
Showcase: Dreadfleet Seadrake
First of the Capital ships for the current Dreadfleet project done! It’s the Seadrake, the High Elven ship. No guns, just bolt throwers, but they’re packing two proper large dragons as well. Always fun to see how different the experience on painting each of these…
