Not a mental image I was expecting to acquire from checking in on this thread

Such things are not unusual in this blog.

We have a 6pm Titannicus Game on Thursday.. Killing Eldar.

Ramos and I are getting in on Wednesday. Our drive is a bit further though.

We'll ping you when we get in so you can supervise Ramos helping carry all our stuff in.

Humph, well fiiiiine, I guess I can hang out with you guys...





But no, seriously, Im stoked for next week. Been looking forward to it for a long time, now. Gonna be good to see the whole crew

Marines Errant are at the EXACT same point as they were last year (Stupid 9-5 eats up all my time, haha...), so extra points would be waaaay helpful!

Well, I'm finally getting a little excited about Adepticon next week. I'm also mad as hades that the system they used to register is so wonky that I spent 4 hours getting constantly bumped off it it until I finally gave up... not having successfully signed up for anything. I know, given the packed house... that they don't give a damn who was able to register and who wasn't... but I'm not happy with the whole experience. Yes, I'm bitter. I'm happy to own it.

Luckily I have friends to hang out with and hope for a solid weekend of pick-up games. (If you're going and would like to play, just PM me.)



I thought with a week to go, it would be interesting to post what I'll be bringing as a way to keep myself motivated and organized. Not gear (that's boring), but army lists and photos of the armies as well. The other advantage is that it forces me to go through things ahead of time and make repairs. If you have to cart your armies around as much as I do they take damage... and posting lists and photos will help me make sure that I've gotten everything I need in good repair so it's ready to go and there are no surprises in Chicago.



First off, we've discovered over the last couple of years that the open gaming tables just suck. Bare tables with a few pieces of bad terrain to toss about (unless you get lucky and a company is previewing their kickstarter terrain on specially made tables). So this year, several of us are pitching in so that we can set up a gaming table in one of the hotel rooms so we always have a nice table to play on. My contribution is the mat and some terrain. I'm bringing the FatMat winter mat (the first one, there may be others by now) and some large trees and ruins to scatter about. There's no context for the size, but what's here is filling a 3'x3' photo booth. I figure with the bits IceAngel is bringing we should have more than enough to fill the table and still have some options so you aren't fielding exactly the same thing every time.





More to come. Taking the evening to play a 40k game with my youngest.

Well I hope you have a wonderful time, so envious, but happy to live vicariously through you.

Can't wait for the Batrep.

I'll be getting there wednesday night fellas, I'm looking forward to getting some games in.

So incredibly jealous of all this Adepticon prep. Sometime when I don't have little children at home, I'll have to join you all. Maybe in time for Adepticon 25...

Hope you have a good time Gits (hopefully it will compensate for that dreadful sign up process).

Major Adepticon prep for today...

#1 Went to one of my FLGSs and picked up a Battlefoam 1520XL bag. This baby is exactly what I needed. Came stuffed with a variety of pluck foam that was PERFECT for storing/carrying my oddly shaped AdMech figures. So happy I got this... even has wheels and a handle!



#2) Started the process of basing the last unbased knight. Because of drying times this'll take a couple of days, so good to get it started now.

#3) Finally made enough progress on the Rapiers to post a pic. The pink power coils is not what I was shooting for, so I'll have to fiddle with them a bit. Working on the crewmen and hope to have them completed soon.

I'm personally liking the pink laser, maybe just a darker red highlight would do the trick. Good to see you have plenty of carry cases too, I need to get some myself.

Love those rapiers! Saucy.

Those look cool, I like the pink plasma but what it probably needs is deeper red recesses.

Finally finished the rapier squad.

Love the coils, and the edge highlighting is very discreet. Nice job!

They look brilliant. Got to love that purple.

Those coils do look much better Gits. Also, that case looks awesome! I'll need to get myself one.

Thanks guys. These are still short on hand-painted detail (like the rest of the army). I would like to go back and revisit them at some point to make them really look the part, but for the nonce I'll have to rely on the fact that my purple and gold are solid and carry the models reasonably well.

I finished the basing on one of my knights last night, still have one to go. I also figured out that you CAN do a 3-knight war-convocation for 2000 pts. Unfortunately to pull it off (by 5 points) you'd need 3 Knights Gallant... and I only have one. Not that I'd field 3 knights in a friendly game, but I was curious.

More to come.

Nice work on the rapier squad, they look very clean. Like theve never been used

I prefer the term... "newly minted".

Nice job on the tracked guns. I like the little red/white bits for some reason, makes them look "official".

Knights are finally based and ready to go. Packed even! A reminder that these were built and painted by Ramos Asura. My only contribution was the basing.

The four horsemen...

Very Nice.. I know it's not planned that way.. but the guy with the shield is in the back. I'm sure they'll all get a good amount of attention
