Hey Guys! It's time for a blogger special event! The DreadTober! While we were at Nova, a group of us bloggers discussed how wonderful it was to see everyones different paint styles, and how it might be fun to have us all paint something similar, and see what each comes up with. Not so much a true competition, but just for fun. So we came up with DreadTober!

The rules are simple. Create a dreadnought in your paint style for the month of october. Try to restrain yourself to dreadnought scale (contemptor and smaller, scratchbuild fine), but since this isn't really a competition, nobody is going to get angry if you go nuts and lets say, build an imperial knight pyramid in the shape of a giant jackolatern or something. (*Glances at John*).
Updates will be posted on this blog, and other blogs, and we'll have a finished page of everyone's entries, linking back to their blogs on FYN (I think or someones website). Just a fun little event to get everyone motivated and to share in the painting excitement!

The main point of this exercise, is just to enjoy each others painting style and see what everyone comes up with. Whether it's John's controlled clean weathering, Todd's careful blends, Greggles and his spilling powders all over his model and calling it done, Mikes colorful compositions etc etc. I just realized I haven't seen Nils do a vehicle outside of bolt action so now I'm super excited. Look for #dreadtober on twitter, or any dreadtober tags on facebook/blogs to follow along. You can also visit the main dreadtober site by clicking the main image, or the button below. I will try to update this three times a week.
