Thank you all!

I saw some absolutely gorgeous displays at AoP! There was a beautiul AoS Order diorama of Empire and Stormcast fighting Tzeentch, and an old-school diorama of an Elven parade!
Someone brought a real life Thunderhawk and some other FW SW stuff. All in all it was a blast!
10/10 would go again

Some photos of the game I played this Saturday:









Deployment-
Mission- Purge The Alien
Opponent Warlord Trait - Split Fire
My Warlord Trait - Strategic Genius
My opponents went first, I failed to seize the initative.

Turn 1-
Opponent's Turn
The Farseer cast Guide and Fortune on his own unit of Dark Reapers, which killed a Ranger with their guns. The Fire Prism took one wound off of the Dominus. The Librarian cast Shrouding.

My Turn
I popped Shroudpslam and the +2 BS Imperative.
My Grav Kataphrons moved to get a line of sight on the Dreadknight, and almost everything moved forward. My Infiltrators moved towards the Centurions, killing one. Combined fire from my Breachers and Knight dropped the Wave Serpent, and the fusillade of grav fire from my Kataphrons killed the Dreadknight. I also killed three Dark Reapers with my Transuranic Arquebi.

Turn 2-
Opponent's Turn
The Crimson Hunter arrived on the table, taking a hull point off the Knight. The Librarian casted Hallucination on the Infiltrators, pinning them. The Fire Prism fired and immobilized the Onager. Combined fire from the Devastators, Centurions, and Warp Spiders kill two Infiltrators and wounded one more.

My Turn
I popped Omniscience (reroll to hit)
The Infiltrators got unpinned and fired at the Grav cents, doing a wound to one. The Grav Kataphrons, Arc Rifle Vanguard, and the Knight's gatling gun fired at the Crimson Hunter, causing it to come crashing down.

Turn 3-
Opponent's Turn
The Drop Pod carrying the Dreadnought arrived. The Fire Prism strafed around the central bunker and shot the Onager Dunecrawler, taking another HP off. The Warp Spiders jumped forward, combined fire from them and the Fire Dragons dropping the Infiltrators. The Dreadnought fired its heavy flamers, killing all but one Ranger. The Dark Reapers shot the Sydonian Dragoons, killing them both.

My Turn
The Arc Vanguard exploded the Drop Pod (which killed an Electro-Priest and two Electro-Priests. The Dominus' ERAD Beamer did a hull point to the Dread. The Onager fired it's Neutron laser, scattered behind a building, and TKed the last Ranger. The Knight killed two Devastators, and the Ruststalkers charged the Dreadnought, doing nothing and dying horribly to Dat Overwatch.

Turn 4-
Opponent's Turn
The Dread shot it's flamers at the Grav Kataphrons, killing 3. The Fire Prism fired at the Onager again, bouncing off the shield. Then, disaster! The Fire Dragons did four HP of damage to the Dread, and the Grav Cents finished it off. It went NUCLEAR, killing one Breacher. The Dread then charged the Grav Squad, but was immobilized by Overwatch.

My Turn-
Something killed every Warp Spider but the Exarch. (Not sure what, I'm pretty sure they dangerous terrained to death. All I know is that the Breachers killed 2 on a previous turn.) My Grav Kataphrons wiped out the Devastators, and the Breachers shot the Fire Dragons, but failed the charge. The Arc Vanguard dropped the Dreadnought, and the Onager Dunecrawler fired its Neutron Laser, wiping out the Dark Reapers.

Turn 5-
Opponent's Turn
The Grav Cents fired and wiped out the Breachers. The one last lonely Fire Dragon begin fleeing to its board edge, and the Fire Prism shot the Onager Dunecrawler again, failing to do anything. Like a ghost in the night, the lone Warp Spider Exarch teleported behind the Dunecrawler and wrecked it.

My Turn
The Grav Kataphrons killed the Grav Cents, and... nothing else happened that I can recall.

End Score
Mechanicus 11, Eldar and Space Marines 8.

Notes:
I really want to play a game without the Convocation. I am sensing that its sheer power level is hurting my ability to "get good" with AdMech. I will have to kick away that crutch. This was a beautifully fun game, and I would absolutely do it again.

Nice battle report. Thanks for sharing.

EDC

Nice batrep Verviedi.I always like seeing some AdMech stuff.

Conversions!

The sniper ruststalker is so fething amazing. Glad to have you back!

beautiful conversions there. great work

Almost finished this one...

Jesus, that was really fast!

Ready to hunt witches!

Callidus assassin, now with less biological vulnerabilities.

So it's going to use callidus rules? Oh gak son.

Yep, all of my custom assassins will use the rules of the model they're supposed to represent!
EDIT: I just noticed that I accidentally got a little pink paint on one of the breathing hoses. I'll replace the images later.

He's breathing in gaseous fabulous!

Wow, those are brilliant takes on assassins, looking forward to the next two !

Thanks! I'm almost done with the Vindicare, I'll post it here tomorrow.

First pic of the Execution Force.

Really really nice reinterpretation of the different classes of assassins from an admech take. Great work. They are all very recognisable for which house/college of the officio assassinorum they come from. Great work

I agree wholeheartedly with Jan, excellent creativity on display Verv. Nicely done!

Thanks!
Finally, some proper pics.

Looks awesome!

Love them conversions.

I'm digging this!
Amazing!

What's that? Verviedi is painting AdMech again?!
I was hired to paint someone's Metallica force. Fun times ahead. This is the very first WIP, nearly done basecoating.

Very nice stuff and the commission work is looks off to a good start.

Execution force looks scary

There are so many things encouraging me to get some AdMech and this blog has been added to the list as one of them!

Subbed

Thanks all. Here's the Tech-Priest Dominus. By the time I'm done with this project, I'll be out of white paint.




I must say it kind of reminds me of the depiction of Krampus from the movie. The hunched, massive figure and the hood.

Looks good Verv. Nice job on the crenellations on the hood.

Thanks Gits. Making sure he's getting value for his money.

Due to my failure to properly make a Tau display board, I'll be bringing the AdMech to Armies on Parade this weekend. Should also be collecting more things to paint, so stay tuned for those.

Also painting some Tyranids for someone else. Here's my first ever attempt at a blood effect.


The eye has been repaired and repainted since I took this photo.
