Thanks for posting the pic next to the knight! She is going to be a big beautiful death machine, hoping I can get to Adepticon to see her in person.

That would be awesome. Saturday night is our groups Knight fight, You are welcome to play in that anytime.

On my home computer and I noticed the pics i'm sending directly from my camera as attachments are way grainey. I might have to go back to downloading into my gallery.

Where are the Knight Fight rules? Are they available?

--B.

Yes they are available on the Adepticon site. I believe there is a rule section. Master Brian, if you PM me a email address I will send you them directly.

6 weekends to go. I should be back on track. A little poorer in the wallet, but ample time to get things finished.

If I have a couple of weekends at the end I'd like to do some new terrain for my games with my Nids. Using the same techniques I did for the bases. Jungle mounds/ruins. Styrofoam, glue, lots of plastic aquarium plants and lots of flock. Must be LOS blocking as one of my main opponents is bringing a Uber competitive SM gun line tailored specifically to neutralize Nids. ( Thought we were playing a friendly game but he seems to now embrace WAAC). That's what I get for sharing my list. No time to change or paint new stuff. Just have to find away to survive loads of flying Landraiders.

Nothing else it could be short games which will allow me to go eat more delicious Udon. So looking forward to that. What addiction?

**Briancj**

You know, you could just decline to play him...

--B.

**Solar_lion**

Yeah. But he is a good friend. He also did a second list tailored to neutralize specifically my Crons list as well. So it's a problem. So either way I go I'll try to explain why this is a d**k move and hope he gets it. Afterwards he may not get many games with me.

I try to give 2nd chances, and hope people will give me one when I'm being a d**k. Luckily my friends won't hesitate to tell me.

Rules sent.

**Yorkright**

It always tough when your opponent knows your list or your army then decides to change his up. Hopefully he will get it. Course if you do beat him it would be pretty funny.

I'll play to win for sure. However the SM Kung Fu is strong now, even with a medeocure opponent, the game is skewed in his favor. Don't mind losing just want a good and if possible close game. If he gets all gloating, I'll end up ending it for sure.

Yummmmm Udon...(repeat)

Bring sufficient terrain so there is no room for the bases for flying land raiders to fit...

Since this is a bigger point game, there will be more terrain. I think I can out play him, but the dice will have to be favorable.

Back to Gwendolyn. Sealed the torso and added the power strips. Glued on the anti-infantry weapons and just about finished the right powerfist. Wasn't sure what to do with the claws. Leave them with a steel drybrushing or go with a mute power effect.

Started on the Left powerfist (with the other head), of course I had to kitbash the rear hatch area with the walkway to the cockpit. Add some structure and finally some cabling. So far it looks like it'll fit well into the fist. Magnitized the fist in a good palm up position, and finished painting all but the fingers. That will have to wait until the head is complete.

I have a few more small clean up jobs that I need to finish, arm Pistons, some gap filling ect, then on to what I really think is the best part; the armor plates. Getting closer, she looks like a Warlord Titan now for sure.

**Gitsplitta**

That's very awesome my friend. Wow! Looking fantastic!

**Dysartes**

Looks like you're making good progress, Solar - keep it up!

Will all the armour panels be white, by the way, or do you have other livery in mind?

Thanks, looking forward to seeing her on the field of battle.

If you go to Ramo's gallery, you can see the Warlord he painted for WM. It will mirror that warlord in color distribution with changes to stripes. More checks .

Hopefully no more than 2 sessions to finish her.

**Dr H**

Nice work on the knight, Solar.

**inmygravenimage**

Hot damn, check out the launchers on that!

**Solar_lion**

Thanks, y'all.

Got a good plan to finish her up. I'll be using WM's Warlord as the template. For those with short memories, here is Hell's Daughter in all her Glory.

Most likely I will be doing checks in place of the stripes. We Lamenters players like checks.

**Warboss_Waaazag**

Looking forward to seeing her complete.

**Solar_lion**

Finished priming and base coating all the armor plates. Loads of metal trim, looks like a Trim/details weekend. Don't think I like what I did to kitbash the palm helmet. May have to redo it

**Solar_lion**

First Armor plate on. The one directly above the head. Started on the other plates. Will wait for the weekend to attach when I can keep the shop heated longer. Single digit temps this morning.

Also. Glued and painted arm Pistons. Looking for banners and maybe a hanging cage

Rebuilt the Mars head. Will need to repaint. Hopefully a good weekend will see her being close to finished.

**Yorkright**

She is a beauty Solar, can't wait to see her finished!

**Theophony**

Really impressive work

.

Need side by side shots someday.

Side by side?

I'll be taking some pics with my Reaver and Warhound as soon as she's done.

**Dysartes**

I suspect he means your Warlord and WM's one (is that whalemusic?), side by side (or facing off).

**whalemusic360**

Won’t be this Adepticon, but a future one hopefully!

**Solar_lion**

Oh.. got it. Never facing off. They are of the same legion. Hell's Daughter is the leader, Gwendolyn is the mean step sister.

Update. I scrapped the head in hand concept. The weight along with the pivot angle was too much for the magnets. So decided to go with a open palm. More armor plates to do today. Thought this would go quicker.

Between WM and I, we have a full mantiple. 2 Warlords, 2 Reavers and 3 Warhounds. With support of some 14+ Imperial Knights.

**Dysartes**

Could always have that power fist displaying a single-fingered salute to the enemy, Solar.

**Gitsplitta**

Nice to see the progress SL, looks great!

**Solar_lion**

Finished the left powerfist. Without the other head. May use the other head on the Lucius Warhound. Worth pondering.

Spent the day just doing Armor plating. Finished everything except the two forward and two back shoulder Armor.

Need to clean up a few things like the brass on the toes. Railing on the back ( though I kinda like it off). I ordered 2 prisoner cages to hang from the sheild mounts. The Sheilds themself.

I will try to get the volcano cannon and the Sunfurt plasma done before Adepticon, in case we want to run it differently. I also just got the carapace mounted Las blasters. They can wait till the summer.

Will wait to glue them all on when I get another full day to make sure all the glued bits stay in place.

Phwoar. What a sexy beast. Looks, well, epic

**Gitsplitta**

You're making fantastic and amazing progress on that warlord SL... she's going to be a beauty!

That's the plan. We probably could take over a side in the 28mm Adepticon game.

Thanks, she's been a lot of work. Been a fun and nerve wracking experience.

Thanks brother. Looking forward to getting together at Adepticon.

I'll soon be looking for a way to transport her. Probably look for something sturdy and industrial.

Got enough weekend's to start putting all the things I'm taking together. Still have to do a few things on my Crons. Seal coat some things Oh all the drama...
