I stuck some Puppet's War arms on mine and will use it as a Dreadnought.

OK, last post spamming this thread with Adepticonstruct pictures. Don't want to drag this awesome tread off-topic.

This guy is actually a good bit taller than a regular dreadnought, more contemptor size probably. The main problem I have had with using the Puppet's War arms on a regular SM dreaw was the roundness of it. Everything Space Marine is just so square that it seemed out of place. But the Adepticonstruct has so many curves that they look perfect with it IMO.

Are the barrel ends of those two sets of auto cannons different?? Did they come that way?

They are, which was kind of weird. Not sure if there was a mold change or a casting difference. Wasn't really enough to bug me, although I may drill them out to make them match up better.

Ya know..... we should make a thread for all of us to show off our Adepticonstructs since we are all doing such different things with them.

That sounds fun, and the Adepticon guys might enjoy some pictures of them too.

You're welcome to them (as far as I'm concerned). I'll give it a good read later today, thanks for the heads-up Skarvald!

Read it, loved it (except the result), left a comment... 'till next year SKarvald! Though, are you going to Rock Con again? I'm guessing their will be another 40k tournament this year.

I'll try to make it there, though it all depends on the ridiculousness of 6th Edition.
It was a great game, Gits!

Finally got time to post more of our battles at adepticon.

Game 3. This time I was paired up with Briancj.. Playing against a Ork hoard. I didn’t get as many pictures as the first two games. Starting to get worn down.

Opening set up


Bold plan initiated. Brian’s Minotaurs drops on the left flank right in the middle of the ork buggies and boys.



Meanwhile the battlewagon rams the center building cauing the objective to become dangerous terrain,. SR destroys BW Boys pile out. Baal pred ( not seen on the right off screen ) starts unloading.


SR get blown up by a lucky Kopter rocket ( who knew?) DC goes into action, Brians minotaurs hold position, ready to make a run for the objective



Overall look at the battle – sorry for the blurry pic.


A single minoutaur still holds the buggies at bay! The buggies don’t advance toward the center. Partially as they piled out and would have to pile in again. The also are facing directly a Vindicator who has move forward to threaten the lane between the building and terrain and Whirlwind who keeps there heads down. They are staying out of range.

View from the other side of the table.


Death company goes to work, Dread gets taken out before it could slice and dice, but the Chaplain leads his men into the fray.


Win for us. Great players. Were friendly and really made this game one of the most enjoyable of the day. Guys I would play anytime.
Was surprised that they took the bait that tied up the left flank and didn’t push forward. Gutsy move by Briancj. They however keep us guessing what was coming next.

Learning for the game. Don’t underestimate them puny Kopters..

Are any of the Wardens in range of the Nova Open?

Looks like I'll be playing in the GT with a Dreadnought Drop Pod list, just got approval for my conversions

My world in the timeframe of the Nova Open is going to be dominated by getting Artemis: The Spaceship Bridge Simulator to and from GenCon, alas.
