Disagree. Dumb, bully brutes with bad fashion sense? Solar had to be all over that.

Can we just imagine what they could pull off with a plastic gang kit these days?

Thanks for the compliment....wait was it? Too bad this isn't supported anymore. I also have a Esher and an Arbites faction.

Ok finished up the next terrain pieces that I’ll donate to my Local FLGS. 6 new buildings and 5 road sections to go with the overpass pieces I did last time. A bit bright due to the only time the sun came out this weekend

Somewhat blurry. Figures for scale.

Shot from the large buildings door looking out over the center.


I'll bring these to the store on Thursday in time for YB's and I's rematch.

I vociferously played Cawdor...doesn't say much for me, man...

I recomend blasting it with gloss then matting it down. Make the boobs at the LGS work for it to try to break it.

I definitely would love to play on that.

Moon... They are coated several times, However this will not prevent them from chipping at the edges. Still these are made to be played on and not so much a work of art as functional. They are simple to make and repair. I like having a bunch of terrain that looks like it belongs together. It also goes well with the paint theme of my Albino Orks. Yes I planned it that way!
I'll think they'll fit in with the previous set just fine


If it was for my own use I put a lot more details and textures into them. Like decoration and ledges on the buildings, graffiti, mold or vines, all sorts or debris, crates, drums maybe a wreck or a dead body here or there. I'm looking into getting the 1X1 foot tiles to make permanent structures like with all the manuf. Tanks I got from work.

I have tons of other Pipe kits and stuff from old Adepticon displays I could use as well. I’ll be making a set of basic buildings for Ice ( and thus you). Give me a chance to play with painting snow and Ice effects. I’ll embellish them a bit more as one would expect to gain favor of such an esteemed colleagues. After Adepticon.

Thanks Waaazag. We always try to be terrain heavy in our games. Makes moving models a bit more difficult but we like the visual effect.

Solar, you and Git and the rest of the bunch ought to come down to Indy for GenCon sometime. I know we stole it from your state, but don't be mad.

Ice and I always take time off for it and try to get a big game in.

The Con itself just has to be seen to be believed.

I concur! Adepticon is fun but I'd have to say GenCon is the best. It is truly overwhelming how many events and things there are to do. You can spend your entire 4 days just in the convention hall and still not see it all let alone making it to any of the thousands of events that consume every hotel and free room in down town Indy.

I can't wait to see what you come up with for the terrain Solar.

Maybe back in the day, when D&D was the thing and I was young. But being surrounded by throngs of ' Card' players and Anime isn't my thing. Admittedly I speak with having never attended. Power to those who do but I'll stick to AC and 40K smaller events for now.

How is 40K represented?

I'll looking forward to doing some different stuff for your terrain. ( this is more my thing )

Game cancelled for tonight. So I'll be dropping off the new terrain tomorrow with my weekly friday visit to see what new stuff came in. So I won't be the first to play on these they should be in pretty good shape to count as new.

SW revenge simmers for another week.

Got some more painting done. 1 weekend to finish stuff for AC.

Some Wolves for YB. ( yes I'll fix the chin gap I missed - Dohhh! ) These are painted up to match the pelt I did on his SW Inf. I use the graven drybrush technique to the max to make them look like white wolves not White blobs.


Next some Necrons I needed for the army I'm bringing to Adepticon. Sorry the pics are blurry. I'm still improving my photo table.



I purchased extra gun options and mounts so I'll be sorting out what and how to mount and interchange,
Lastly finish the 10 Praetorians.

Those Necrons are looking great SL. Should add some very nice diversity to the rest of your army.

Thanks, I wish the pics were a bit clearer. but I'll dial in my new set up as I go.

These TB are all Gauss, The next 3 are magnitized so I'll be able to change out weaponery to mix it up a bit.

Just about a week till I leave for Adepticon ( with Gits and thing1 ) So I really have to narrow down my lists. Right now I'm bringing 2000 pts of Lamenters, Necrons and Grey Knights. Not necessarly competitive lists but more general and well rounded ( and painted ). Again if your going to Adepticon and wanna game ( or just say Hi ) look for us. We'll probably be wearing our team shirts with our Dakka avatars on the back. Should be easy to spot.

Thanks, Oddly they are only 4 colors, Black, Dwarf bronze, Scorpion Green and White. Some light metallic drybrushing

That the sad part. There are a lot of cool folks on Dakka that I'd love to play and or that we wish live in the same community. How cool it would be to hang and game with this crowd! That's why it's cool to attend Adepticon. In the years past we've meet so many Dakkites, and even played against them in the tourney. Though I'd have to admit being a 'wingman' to Git's has it's advantages. Though one cannot stare at the sun too long before the shadow of his admirers block out the light. but understand it's tough being the popular one, ( WM being the pretty one ) ~sigh~ ( yes cheap shot, but it's a tradition - ask Ice, Moonpie, Briancj, WM, Ramos, Yellowbeard or Wyomingfox ).

Dropped of the next set of terrain for my FLGS. I wanted to see all the stuff I brought in . As it was I still left out 6-7 pieces. 4x8 table.
Full table shots…


Here’s a ground view looking between the supports of the far overpass down the road. Damn where the hell is that sniper!


Next terrain piece will be Ork versions of the same for Ice. ( after Adepticon )

I'm going to do the best I can next year to make it. Maybe I'll have a credit card then, so I could get a hotel room.

We'll be missing our fellow Warders for sure this year!

Here is the armies I’m taking for open gaming at Adepticon. Quick Camera shots as I start to lay out what to pack.
The Lamenter army is pretty much unwinnable against anything Serious, but should make for a lot of Chaos and fun. 2000pts of pure genericness.


1850 Necron. This one is a bit more competitive and more rounded. Wanted to stay away from spamming flyers and warriors.


I need to finish painting the Hvy Bolters for the flyers and a Tech Marine for my buds Grey knights.

Thanks. the Lamenters is just a fraction of the total army. Someday I'll play an Apoc and get to use them all. Bucket wish!

I might be able to facilitate that wish. Group down here has quarterly(?) apoc games that apparently aren't dominated by SH (sometimes have none). I'll keep you informed.

Great looking stuff Solar. I like the four dreadnoughts in drop pods. That's a nice addition to the army.
