All looks and sounds very cool. That's a fantastic board you guys had, other armies look great, looking forward to checking the updates.

Haha, Gits have become a regular prophet! Preaching 40k to random wedding goers

Yeah c'mon man. Way to fit in haha

I'm also sporting facial hair. Better get crackin Ice, only 360 days left!

Ice's got a baby face... it may take him that long!

Impressed by the display and of course the armies guys.
I'm really happy that You all enjoyed the event so much and It makes me want to get more in to 40k.
You lead by example, thank You.

You guys and your armies blew me away. I would love to meet you legends one day in person!

I think the only thing that's legendary is the combined circumference of the team! But it would be great to meet you as well.

Git and team, I make no promises of growing out a giant beard. That being said, here are a couple of my favorite pics from the painting competition. I think I have nearly everyone of the entries in my dakka adepticon 2012 folder if you want to see more but I picked a couple of my favorite to show you guys.












I started writing this post about 30 minutes ago and I had a lot of trouble picking out my favorite models. They all were amazing this year. Lots of them really grabbed my attention. I wish I had brought a better camera. I wish the light had been better in there too! Please check out the rest of my pictures to see the other entries.

Here are some other displays I thought were amazing.

Chaos

BA board?- I got this pic before the figures were set up. The painting of the structures was very nice.

Cool Ork display. The Grot Tanks were very cool.


The Amazing Cult of Charlie Sheen- Winning! I love the look on the judges face!.. I Imagine him saying " Thats not illegal in all 50 states!"

SW Army. The display rotated 360 degrees.


Nice Necron display

DE Display


These are only a fraction of the armies that I saw. You could spend hours just going to display after display.. I do not envy the judges!

Much more to come!

Cool Ork display. The Grot Tanks were very cool.

That's mikhaila's stuff - VERY cool in person, and by that I mean both the models and the man!

Wow, looks like you guys had an amazing time!

congrats on your placing, now i just expect to see the same kind of improvement for next year... seriously though, well done, you deserve it.

and ice needs a beard, the proliferation of beards seems to be doing its job

Yeah, Mike has some good orky FW goodness.

The chaos display's converted Valkyries? are really cool!

I don't know what they were... figured they were something from FW. Really cool to see though. Very alien looking.

mikhalia's orks were fan-freakin'-tastic! Wish I had the chance to talk with him about them, have a number of the same models myself.

Hey there, Gitsplitta!
What a wonderful game we had on Saturday! I still can't believe that we ended up playing against each other. Ever since we met at Rock-Con I've been meaning to play your Mantis Warriors and it seems like Fate was on our side, eh?
I'll be posting the pictures at http://wolvesforthewolfgod.blogspot.com/ in the next few days! Oh, and thanks for the awesome pin!

Not fate my friend... just the better general!

You guys did well & it was a lot of fun. Those T-wolves of yours with the lord are a stone-cold b**ch. Think they killed most of my army all by themselves.

Really enjoyed it Skarvald... any time my friend.

More army goodness..

Cool take on the DE




Bad Day to be an ORK battle?


Not sure if this is a GK army. they had a great paint scheme and used alot of different bits to give it a very retro look . Pics are a bit blurry sorry...



Here is the other team that went all out playing the Badab theme. We'll have to get these guys together an play a badab theme game!



More tomorrow..

Are they DExodites?

That other badab army looks sweet.

Damn, you guys make this Con look really awesome. If I lived in the US of A, I'd definitely go there next year. I might anyway. Cool pictures and it sounds like you all had a lot of fun.

Oh, and I now want one of the "I am Alpharius" shirts...

It's worth noting that we accidentally stole the other Badab War team's table during set-up early on Saturday. They were absolutely great about it though and thought it was hilarious that one Badab team had pulled a fast one on the other. As you can see by their smiles, they were really cool and the two teams had a great talk (almost missed our session with the judges... my "spidey sense" tingled and I excused myself to walk back to our display... 30 seconds later the judges showed up).

It was all accidental of course, the set-up director told me to grab any open table in the back and I just happened to grab the table the other team had the hotel bring in for their display. Sorry gents!

Yeah. Thought to be fair we had experience with the exact same mission and setup. Last year's Adepticon me and my teammate (Vince) played the same mission with our Space Wolf armies against Blood Angels and Space Wolves. We knew what to expect, haha. That Storm Raven getting immobilized on impassable terrain was a bitch, wasn't it? XD

Yeah . I hate when it is something you do to yourself.

Still I feel avenged when I put your Wolf lord in the ground! ( after he butchered almost 1/2 our armies)
and my Dread ate the entire BA Assault squad.

Good, challenging and fun game.

SL

That looks like it was a fun game. Great pictures, Skarvald! I particulalry like the one from the perspective of the drop pod.

Those chaos flyers are very cool. Look like FW chaos flyer front with a modified valk tail-boom?

Love the dark exodites too, nice idea.

Great pics Skarvald, that drop pod shot is great

Such a great thread - awesome pics and awesome display board. As a Mantis Warrior player you're setting the pace here

Thanks mugginns... there aren't many of us. Check out my MW thread (link in my sig). I'd be delighted to see some of your work! We are a rare breed and need to stick together.

This whole thread looks fantastic! Looks like an amazing time was had by all. What a great load of fun.

I'm going to have to seriously think about going next year.

You won't regret it Guts. Last year's Adepticon was the single most enjoyable war gaming experienc of my life... until this year's Adepticon that is!

Seeing as I am trying to get a team all set up, you may very well meet them.

Wow, I didn't find this thread until now!

I had posted this in the DCM section, but for the Wardens who can't access that area, I am very happy to have a place to say that it was Fantastic to meet all of you . The Kill Zone game on Sunday was actually a highlight of my weekend! You guys were also extremely fun to play in the team tournament, although I think I was so excited to play Dakkanauts that I talked more than played and we had to rush to get in just the 4th turn! Next year, if I can go, I will have more 40k experience and won't have to double-check / think things through so much . I.e... should we move Ken's rhino into the next table quarter to win the game....!? Of course not, that would make too much sense

I also somehow convinced myself that Git's final marine in Kill Zone should assault across a barrier... I plead rookie mistake here, too

I know I saw Ice Angel in passing, not sure about Steve? Did you two play in a different event on Saturday?

Here are the pics I have involving the Wardens' armies, unfortunately the ones of our actual game didn't turn out (I think I was shaking the camera, and they're a bit dark, so they're not here). I have to say, I knew Gits' stuff would be amazing, but the rest of your armies were awesome, too! The yellow in particular... wow, and the hardest color to paint I hear, too.
