Heresy & Heroes

You may recall, if you’re a regular reader of this little blog of mine, that last week, I asked you to vote on what I should paint next. Well, voting ended earlier this week and I’m finally able to reveal the winner of this poll. Well, the real winner is me because I get to paint something very cool, but the thing that I will be painting next will be…

…The Mortis Pattern Mortifactors Contemptor Dreadnought! Yes, with just over 40% of the vote and just pipping the Sonic Decimator to the No.1 spot, this will be the next big project on the table. 

All the components have been ordered, and the observant among you will note that I’m using the Death Guard chassis. I’ve got some ideas on how to make some relatively small tweaks and changes that will make it suit the Mortifactors scheme (alright, skull) and I’m a big fan of the more industrial look that this model has in comparison to the basic or even relic dread. 

I’m really looking forward to this one. I’ve been half planning it ever since I started this project and I’m excited to be getting to grips with it soon. Watch this space. Of course, it might take a while to get here so there might be something in between its arrival and me actually having the time to make the conversions, painting it, etc. I should also say that just because I’m doing this first, doesn’t mean that I won’t be doing the other models – they’ll just have to wait a little while.

Anyway, I shall of course share the images as and when I have them. Onwards!!
