My assembled leviathan dreadnought |
I posted a tease of the box for this model back in April. I must admit, the size of the box surprised even me when it arrived. It wasn't until I came to assemble the model that I realised why. Dreadnoughts are big. They always have been. They're effectively an armoured sarcophagus for a much lauded, but otherwise mortally wounded space marine, mounted on robotic legs and equipped with all manner of deadly weapons. Standard dreadnoughts are big. Contemptor dreadnoughts are bigger. Leviathan dreadnoughts are massive.
Size comparison with a space marine. Luckily they're on the same side! |
The pictures you see in this post are where I'm at with it so far. I've assembled it in between sessions on the aforementioned competition entry. I'll undercoat it, and possibly start some of the base coats, in the next few days. It won't get started in earnest for a couple of weeks—the competition is part of the Forge World open day on the 17th—but it'll at least have it started by then. The size doesn't intimidate me in terms of painting. It'll largely be yellow, metal and black, so it's just an upscaled version of everything else in the army. I look forward to getting on with it. Look out for more updates soon.
