The next step will be to apply a basecoat of color.

I had the sudden inspiration to build and paint a specialized Grey Knight Dreadnought, and thanks to a generous gift certificate I was able to at least acquire the model with minimal pocket change. While the previous Dreadnoughts I made were long-range shooty-shooty units (reach out and touch someone), this new model would take on a more intimate and personal approach.

In “miniature” news, I volunteered for a community project to raise money for Child’s Play. This was organized by the Warhammer 40K forum at Relic News, a THQ company that released the Dawn of War video games. This project involved forum members donating painted miniatures for the Blood Ravens space marine chapter, since they were an original army created by Relic with the approval of Games Workshop. The goal is to combine everyone’s contributions and put the entire painted force up for sale, with all proceeds donated to Child’s Play.
