Thanks. It was a major build designed to keep the judges entertained and at our display longer all in the hopes of getting a boost in our score.

Since this is 100% scratch built ( build as you go plans) Hopefully they will see our figures and display as more than just kitbashed!.

Look for a "Warders" Adepticon blog in the near future.

I can't wait. . . Maybe if I go to sleep now it will get here faster

Or.. think about road trip to the windy city - if not his year then next!

How about a hop across the pond? Sure you'll blow your excess baggage with the board, but still...

The board is looking stunning mate, most impressed. On a side note, your camera seems to be lending a greenish tinge to your yellows? Just doesn't do them justice and all.

Re: the dread (or generally) lmk if there are any bits you need for it, and I'll have a rummage. What loadout are you going for.

That looks amazing SL, cant wait to see what it looks like in full!

Btw, you should get one of these...

I am so getting at least 1.

@Vitruv: Who made that! I need to know so I can ask them SOooo many stupid questions while I try to make my own!

Thats a soon to be released FW kit, priced at £80. Thread here

IMGI - Hopping the pond this summer in fact. Actually Ireland for my wife and I's 25th . I'm still playing with photoshop. I don't have much in the way of direct lighting, so I'm on a learning curve on how to correct pics. All good on the bits , I brought 3 Furisos when they came out thinking I wanted each variant.

Vit - Not in the near future, I have 3 SR's right now ( one which is planned for a re-paint for thing 1's Doom eagles ) I already order to much stuff from FW. I got a relic Contemptor and a load of weapons waiting for me at Adepticon. Tried to add the new termies but they are not allowing them to pre-reg them.

On a more personal note - I've managed to get my DC dread all base colored. This weekend will be a paint till you drop for Adepticon weekend. I'll definitely will have new pics. I’ll even promise to take them on the display as it make a great backdrop.


SL

98% complete DC - Once the basing is complete should help offset all the white.



New Sargeant for this Assault squad . Somewhat blury picture. Camera has trouble focusing.


Army Shot as of April 1st again somewhat blurry.


Still have basing to do. Chapter Symbols and My Chaplain to finish.

SL

They're looking spectactular SL... you're going to steal the show! Love the DC. What's your secret on the white?

Thanks..

I used a grey blue grey undercoat then a white. The white is Air brushed from the top direction leaving the blue underneath to blend in the white, The dread is more this way than the troopers. ( I didn't go dark enough ). My white is also not pure white- it has some off white qualities. I then hightlight with skull white on the edges.

Nice. Nothing I can repeat with my apoth... but very, very nice.

Good looking stuff indeed. Did I say good? Nay! Great!

Beautiful amigo! I love the whopping great hole on the board, too!

Thanks Meph.. and thanks for all the help on the way!

Taxi .............. @ SL fab tastic mate

Thanks Marvelous Miss Dee

Would sooooooo love to have a real one tho .....

solar lion,

this is the most impressive yellow i have seen thus far the only other competion i see is git's yellow on his tranq vets. any way thought i'd pop in and tell ya great job!

Sweet stuff SL

Thanks AH.. I started with git 's formula, but since adapted my on variation with trying to imitate Egg's AB techniqueand meph's weathering. Still learning. Git 's is much more yellow and my now strays to the red side.

Thanks Cptn - I wish I had a decent camera so I could take better pics. I still have a weekend to work on some shots.

SL

Wow! Your army is beautiful! I love your DC and their Dreadnought! So cool!

Really liking that display board and the white DC looks ace with the yellows. Get some better pics - the paintjob deserves it

Thanks 3D!

Thanks Egg.. Painting the Terrain was good for helping me get more comfortable with the AB. It's true what you all have been saying.. practice, experiment and more practice.

On my Dread...You were right about going darker with the basecoat on the white. I went with a blue/grey that was akin to what you see on military naval vessels. At first I thought it would be to much of a contrast, but after going with an off white, it blended well, leaving a more purewhite for the highlight. I think at first you try to stay away from contrasting colors , but they do provide strirking results.

Thanks for all the suggestions.

SL

Ok .. Even due to my cameras ability to focus I managed to ge a few shots I thought were ok. So ...

He is a close up of the DC dread.


My HQ.. Chaplain

Posing on the Imperial Cotton Swab of the Emperor

Leading the Lamented

More pics of the assualt squads still need to finish Basing ( waiting to finish up some Minotaur shoulder pads )








And some army shots..






Still have some detail work to do. Basing, writing on purity seals, Chapter badges ect.. But overall pleased and " on time" to meet our groups deadline.

SL - Comments and critque are always welcome.

Looks fantastic SL... really amazing work! Going to be an honor fielding my army next to that!

I think that Your army is up there in the Badab Hall of Fame, together with Git's army.
They will be awesome side by side, great job.

These are amazing! They are really impressive! Much better than what I could do!

Keep up the good work mate!

Brilliant and inspiring - and now I don't feel do bad about using a tub of Vaseline as a plinth for a photo. Your interpretation of dc is outstanding, and your army commitment humbling.
