My pleasure.. but what you really need to say is " I accept" then throw down the gauntlet and muster your courage!

"Once more into the breach my friends"

Wow that looks incredible. love your army shots

Thanks Styro... and Praise Huron !

Really really awesome - the army and the board.

Thanks Fifty!.. After adepticon check out our anual Adepticon blog.

I'll probably get a full army shot in as well.

Finally got around to painting my tape Measure. I did this to make mine unique so it doesn’t get confused with all the others at Adepticon. Nothing fancy but should be distinguishable.



While I had time on my hands ( display done , Army done ect ) I bought a used Storm Talon and since I have several already ( this one was painted poorly and glue together even worse ) So I decided to make a Terrain piece out of it.
Downed Lamenter Storm talon ( will go on the Loyalist display) The interior is lit so it flickers.




As soon as the oil weathering dries I'll paint the bleeding heart on the tail.

Really like that SL, excellent work!

You know, I just tore apart two kinda screwed up Mk-1 Predators for parts (I'm going to build a fresh hull and magnetize the whole thing). That leaves me with two chewed on rhino chassis. Be fun to do something like this with them, though to be honest I don't see where I'll have the time. Maybe I can find someone else who wants them.

Amazing SL....love the action shot through the breach. The tape measure looks great too.

The Storm Talon looks great, I really like how its lit up.

Very Impressive

Edit: had the wrong Storm bird type

"Brace for impact!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Thanks San76 and graffex.. I appreciate the support.

yeah.. thou not sure who he'd be telling that too. being a single person craft.. Maybe the Machine spirt?

More like " sh*tttttttttttttttttt"! or " you actually rolled a 6 with Snapfire? "

Time on your hands... Bloody show off! great job mate.

a wee bit.. nice to finish on time.. All ready for the pre Adepticon tourney up in Madison with Git.

We're expecting to get Helldraked or Necron air forced to death , but we'll make a good fight out of it.

Nice terrain piece! The smoke billowing out of it really adds some realism to it.

Wow! Very nice, SL. The Storm Talon is even better than you described. Love the addition of the flickering light in the cockpit. Very nice touch.

Thanks CC and YB.

I'm guessing this Geneseed is toast!
Counts as wrecked. I have a blast maker for destroyed!

As for the smoke. I'm never sure on what amount is good. Too much and it overwelms, too little and it looks like it shouldn't be there. Also I could have used a whiter and red mix. Might look more on fire rather than a Internal fire in the cockpit. I wanted it to look like it just fell and impacted rather than caught fire and was a blaze! Thoughts?

That looks awesome!! I love it.

Needs more battle damage. How did it crash? Engine blow out. Friendly fire...possibly a chapter that flopped sides again.. LOL

or maybe just pilot error

Machine Sprit had a Virus

Thanks Styro..

it was hit by 2 S8 Canadian geese but didn't pen, Lost both Hull points to glances. Pilot unable to resume control because he was busy responding to the text message " What's up" when the suicide avian’s attack occurred.

Kamikaze Canadian Geese!!!
Imperial Guard's newest weapon

I love the army, the photos of them on the display board is awesome too.

What kind of list are you running them as? I assume Dark Angels? (Sorry if you posted this already and I missed it.)

Thanks Dinamath.. It's part of a greater Badab group theme.

Yeah.. DA.. It about the only 6th edition Codex out there for loyal Marines.

Thou the list isn't exactly designed to be uber competitve.it will be fun to play And a long as we kck the butts of our sister team in the Friday night Warders battle I'll consider it a sucess!

Good luck!

Thanks Dinamarth, are you attending Adepticon. IF so stop by the Wardens against Wardens battle Friday night!

Huron has said that as long as the overall command lies with the Tiger claws commander and not the Mantis warriors the battle is all but decided!

I'll be posting all the Adepticon pics and comments as soon as I get back. Expect the Friday Wardens battle report to be first up!

Ok .. yes its been a while.. but things are progressing along but in a totally different direction. I'm still working on my Lamenters but only to the point of finishing up on all the incomplete projects. Several Drop Pods, Dreads and all the pieces to make multiple vehicle out of the exsisting ones.

Though that being said, my teammates have decided on going Xenos for Adepticon and we are slowly working on what theme and Armies we wanted to field next Year. I have several Armies at my disposal; Necrons, Orks, some tau, IG and Chaos.

I decided to go Necrons as I had most of all the models and more that I need. They represented a easier challenge (so I thought) to the speed of which I could paint them. Getting a cool looking theme was going to be the hardest part. So many cool designs already.

On a side note I have a little more free time in the evenings for about a month so I was hoping to get the bulk of this finished sooner than later.

What I have.

4 Necron Lords ( 3 come from the barge box set )
24 Warriors
3 Wraiths
5 Deathmarks
5 Immortals
1 Stalker
3 Night scythes/Doom scythes
2 Spyders
10 bases of Scarabs
10Prateorians ( 5 will be each loadout )
3 Barges
3 Destroyers
1 cryptek
My plan is to do all the priming and basecoating at the same time. Develop my overall them on one of the scythes ( their large surface will serve as a good pallet to try things on) and translate into the other models ( Adepticon list being the priority )

Start assembling, priming and basecoating. Took me a week. Luckly I have a decent size shop and can (and do ) spread out on the work table. All these shots were from my phone so they are not as sharp as in real life . I'll use the good camera for final shots.



My overall base theme

lot of painting prior to assembly.

Some details added


Not on my list but I love this model!


As always your comments / suggestions and critique is encouraged and appreciated!

Everyone needs a side-track Looks great, really like the scheme. Zebracrons!

Nice scheme. Are you going to go with a clean, battle scarred or an ancient look to the final models?

Skullcrons would be better.

Clean for now! weathering would be nice but would take additional time I may not have in the near future.

So question.. do you think there needs to be some color ( on the NS) inbetween the wing panels or would that make it too busy?
