Hoping to get these finished up this weekend. Then on to finishing the Giant Spawn.

After that winterizing. Winter is coming.

I did that slight variation so I could distinguish the different squads of Gargoyles. Same with my Genestealers and Gaunts.
That way I'm on the up and up when they move or removed.

My Necrons are in bad shape. I may need to replace a bunch. I'm thinking I'll be repainting them. My list has a lot of new builds so this might be a good time.

My Nids army for our pickup games at Adepticon. Missing 3 Biovores and basing for some of the recent models.

A lot of fluffy units. Tried to take a little bit of everything.

That's a glorious paint scheme.

I still want to build my all-spore-nid-army representing the "first drop".

Thank you kind Sir. Swarm it is, not very powerful though. It'll be a nice fluffy army to introduce to the newer players.

Back.... Finished my 3 Biovores. Next to finish the spore mines and lastly basing. I bought a good amount of Battlefoam based on my list so hopefully I have chosen wisely.

Started repainting my Necrons. Added a bronze drybrushing to the theme. Definitely gives them more of a worn out look. Most of the larger models I'll be painting in peices so it will take me a while to show an finished product. Like my Nids I'm adding some color to units so I can easily identify who belongs to what unit.

Lastly I got my Warlord yesterday. Haven't had time to unbox, but looking forward to getting it started over the Holiday time off.

Adepticon just over 3 months away. Much to do.

That's pretty exciting news SL!

I'm probably going to replace the white section's of the models in a turquoise to reflect the dynasty I will be using.

I have 12 days off for the holiday. Going full tilt in order to get as much off my list.

Chapter approved freed up some major points. So Nids list will increase. Luckily I have the models I need. Unlucky is that they are still in the box. Added to the list.

Got my last Necron order today. More Destroyer's and Tombblades

So. Repaint repaint & repaint. Here's what I got finished over the weekend. 2x20 warriors. Bronzed them up s little. Made sure each unit has a different color clear plastic rod so I can keep track of who is who's unit. Finished 8 of the 12 Destroyer's, 4 more to go. Touched up my 2 flyers and lastly updated my female Destroyer Lord. Stalker repainted as well.

Going to finish the last 4 Destroyer's, then move back to finishing my Nids. 2 larger models. 1 week before Vacation.

The Destroyer's have the turquoise on either side of the body. This way I can easily identify which ones belong to what unit if I run them as a large group. Large mass of reserection capable Destroyer's led by a Destroyer Lord should be effective.

Back to Nids. Tyrannocyte up next.

Bought another Titan. price was too good to pass up. This on being a Lucius Warhound. Thought it would be cool since FW isn't making them anymore. It'll probably wait till after Adepticon. I need to have the Warlord finished for the 28mm Titan event. If I can pull it off I offered Ramos the spot to run it with his Apocalyptic launchers and 2 powerfists loadout concept. Or as I call it the Wolverine loadout.

Update.

Finished the 2 Tyrannocyte's, 20 homemade Sporemines. I'm thinking I should do 4 more just to be sure I have enough per turn.

Finished all the Destroyer's, now I have a two 6 model squads. 1 out of 2 Deathmarks squads, 10 Immortal's, 0verlord and 1 of two Crypteks complete. My only GhostArk and 1 of 2 Doomsday Arks finished. Repainted both Annilliation barges.

Remaining ... 1 Doomsday Ark, 5 Deathmarks, Cryptek and 10 additional warriors. Basing over half my Nids.

I'll take some pics of everything when completed. My photo table currently is staging all my Nids list. Hopefully I can finish these remaining items in the next couple of days. Thus I can have a couple of days Cleaning up the Warlord.

Adepticon is about 12 weekends Away.

Happy New year friends. This day marks the 7th decade, 2 century's and 2 millennia I have lived in.

On the Adepticon front. I have finished assembling and painting both my armies for Adepticon. One Tyranid and one Necron. Finished the remaining Doomsday Ark, 20 additional Warriors, 5 Deathmarks, 2nd Cryptek and a large unit of Tombblades. And still with one day of vacation left.

Next I'll finish basing my Nids, sealcoat everything and start loading foam. This year I may actually be pressed for space. I have to bring 3 Titans, a foldable 4x8 table, multiple battle foam bags with 2 armies, 14 imperial Knights, all the Knight Fight boards and Buildings. Possibly some terrain for our pickup 40k games. This is why I needed to stay on schedule.

Anyway... may the new year bring happiness, health and motivation for all those projects on your to do list.
