The Last Dreadnought

Thar she blows, gents! The last dreadnought I have to paint for my IF force. This one took me only about a week, going quite well with my plan to finish this army by the end of may. Ambitious aren't I?
I've made his arms interchangeable, because that's just economical. I've dubbed him "Isardi", partially because of a well written Star Wars character who was a cold-hearted b*tch, and partly because it sounds very Gallic.

I actually had to repaint the Mechanicus symbol because I hadn't realized that I had mixed it up and switched it around so the black side was right and the white side was left(which is opposite from my two other dreadnoughts. so I'm compulsive? it would bother me to see the symbols not uniform).


Awww, family picture time! From left to right- Malatesta the Ironclad Dreadnought, Isardi the multi-purpose Dreadnought, and Cataphract the Mortis pattern Dreadnought. I can't wait to toss these guys onto the battle field!
Next....next, next, next....hmmm. Maybe my last Razorback? I still have a tac squad and a half dev squad to do, plus my predator and Lysander...

  1. I like the group photo. Very nice clean painting and nice banners. Keep the tempo up and get back to the painting:)

  3. So is Isardi a female dreadnought? Ysanne Isard would approve. The earlier X-Wing books and anything by Zahn are about the only Star Wars novels I recommend to anyone.... and I've read almost all of them.

    We need to roll some dice once you get these done, sir.
