Very nice!

Tank is looking good. I really need to get one of those, they are supposed to be really good in game.

The rules are decent. Even with the current meta.

As soon as my basing is all complete I'll take some better actual pics.

Alpha Legion are looking really nice.

If that's an Alpha Legion tank it should be camoflaged with a drawing of a school bus on the side of it. Otherwise everything is looking sweet. One year I'll show up to adepticon.

Alpha Legion is poking SL. I love the blue on the tank.

AL are looking great!

EDC

LOVE the AL!


We want more!

You totally should... there is so much to do!

Truly. though I could have painted it as any other chapter during the HH and passed it off as AL. Actually the rules allow me to field other chapters units. How cool is that!

I actually might re-do the blue on the tank. I came off a bit more splashy in the wash phase. Might try using the AB to see if I can get a better effect.

Thanks everyone .. especially YB.. who is rumored to re-appear on Dakka with a new army project!! ( Gauntlet thrown )

I'll try to finish the Basing projects this week. Leaving the weekend for me to get all my stuffed packed and rule / list printed. Car need cleaning and prepping for Chauffeuring Gits and Son to Event. ( Rituals and offerings and all the celebrity adornments).

I'll probably not bring my Necrons this year ( usually I like to battle Thing 1's Dynasty for overall control of the universe ) as I don't think I'll have the time to play an additional army with all the events I'm in and Helping Ritides with the great and useful Modcubes.
Hopefully there will be a good FW event only model (40K).

8 days before I leave for AC.

Yellowbeard active on Dakka?! Madness!

I don't think there has been any news on a new FW event model. I think it is currently still the AL preator, IW preator and Titan Priest.

Bummer...
We'll if not new event only FW model then I'll hope for a decent Swag bag!

2nd Stage of basing done ( Glue wash ). With a freak snow storm blowing in tonight and tomorrow ( 8 to 14 in ). I may get a day at home. I'm bringing 2 MM /HF dreads to my list and they are looking a little un-impressive, so I may touch them up a bit.

7 days left...

Do you have both Preators already? They are both great, and don't have an chapter markings that really lock them in as a certain legion. Could even make them Lamenters.

No.. but they look like a must buy for the AL for sure. I'll get something special from FW for sure. Last year it was a Dreadonaught ( Ramos and I got it at the same time - Looks like hes ahead of me now)

I have some HH books to get and most likely the new legion rules book. I think last year I dropped 4 notes on FW stuff.

I wouldn't do them as Lamenters. I'm just about lamenter'd full for units ( purchased). AL (30K) will probably be my next purchasing venture. Not that I wanted to go Traitor legion; I was looking forward to ( and still am ) the BA addition to the series. But... I needed to pick something HH for the Adepticon games this year and so I went with AL. So I'll use them in my CSM 40k army and i'll be ahead of the game.

That's fair. The Iron Warriors guy is worthwhile as well. He will be my standard bearer for my 30k army, and has tons of other conversion merits. Gits is using him as his HQ even.

Yeah, that's a nice figure, and easily adapted.

YB and I will split a 2nd BoC box. I'm looking for some more normal marines and maybe the termies. He can have the rest ( I don't need another contemptor dread and the game itself) I have 5 more AL in the works. Might be able to finish them off this weekend. I really need to get a list of what I want in my 30K list.

Nothing to do but shovel and go to work with the 2 day blizzard. I need to start a wish list for FW at Adepticon. I'll check out the IW selection.

Why are you splitting a box with YB? You're just going to end up painting the figures yourself anyway!

Nope.. I believe that's finished. I think his next project is more akin to the ruinous powers and I cannot for fear of my soul.

On an Adepticon note.. Usually we do a separate thread for the event. Usually that involves us playing in the team tourney. Though we have opted out of this for a second year in a row I'l still gonna try and get as many pictures of the event as possible. I'll probably be posting them on this blog so stay tuned.

Last push before hitting the road on Wednesday!

Finish the basing!
Print out all my lists.
Packing all my figures this time!
Car Cleaning.
If time, work on the dreads.
Go see Batman vs. Superman!

Whew.. exciting~

Can't wait to hear about it, hope you have a great time, looks like you have a couple busy days ahead as well.

Don't forget point 3, pack the figures!

Those AL look beautiful, almost the perfect colour (should be greener! ) But seriously, beautiful colour.

Finished all the basing. Re-did my list as I was over points. No changes to the actual figures though. I managed to get 5 more AL done. 2 bolter marines and 2 Hvy bolters. 1 Sqt with Plasma pistol and Power Sword.

Printed off my Badab 1000 pt ZM, 1850 Gladius, and 2000 pt Apoc lists. I'll have to manually print up my two 500 HH AL lists as I'm not able to do it in Army Builder. Should be easy to do, it's only 500 pt games.

Dreads touched up. Everything packed except for a single drop pod and the Imperial Knight. I even started to clean my workroom,,,,go figure.

Now to get through the next few days...

Good man. Go have a beer, and onwards to victory!

The waiting will be the test. Rarely am I this ahead.. feels weird. After watching some mindless TV I felt I should be painting something.. So instead I started designing my entry into the " Portal" contest .

AHHHGG.. I need to do 6 more marines.. I went through my list and found out I gave meltas to my tac squads and I didn't pull the figures. so I need to swap out 6 Tac guys and paint some Meltas.. Busy Nights ahead

Finished My last figures.. just some minor stuff..

OFF TO ADEPTICON.. SEE YOU WHEN I RETURN. ( except for Ramos whom I'll see there )

... and... ???

Pics or it didn't happen.

Yeah no pics makes us sad :(

Quick whilst he is away......and he didn't give us any parting pics.

And sorry about not posting the pics. They were just normal inf. and after finishing I pack The remainder of my time is travelling to Gits and motivating him to finish and pack.

Adepticon was great, Lots of pics.Mostly on a 500$ camera that I can not turn on to download. I'll get the my camera store and see whats up. Started taking the rest of the pics on my phone. Post Some later today and tomorrow.

Off to work 1/2 day..later

Just wanted to say it was good meeting you solar! Can't wait to see all of the pictures!

U too my friend.

So let me start off by saying it was a great gaming event. When I say great I mean there was the best of company, The events I played in were all very fun and enjoyable. The Terrain this year was particularly good and varied. the open tables were readily available. All the people I meet were folks I'd liek to game with anytime. The rooms were very nice ( TV in tne bathroom, beds comfy and the hall was room and I didn't feel like cattle when moving around.

The only downside was the cost of the food at the hotel. Way over priced for what you got. The Elevators were slow, but there was costumed women my buddy had to take a picture with every one; so he was happy.

I have a lot of pictures .Unfortunately My good camera crapped out in the middle of day two and I had to use my camera phone. We made some new Wardens and I call for an official reunion in 2017. The first day was the Badab event. The TO was great and the boards were very nice to play on. I won the first. lost the second and tied the third. The all day Apoc game was great as well and the full gamete of rules and old world Apoc shenanigans were played out. The secessionist won the game by a close two points. The ZM game was a blast. Even better it was a 30k HH event. Nothing better than Marines on Marines. Very little codex power creep made it a fun game of strategy and luck. I can't say enough about the organizers, they put on a good show.


Adepticon cavalcade of pictures.

Ok let’s start with some of the other cool things… and not my stuff.
Cool Ork Vs. Imperium.. Very cool and busy display including a looted Tesseract Arc for the weird boy and a looted Imperial knight.

Titan only battle. Got a couple of shots as I was walking by…


Here is a couple of pics I took at the larger ZM boards…


And last teaser for the day.. a cool game I really wanted to demo that I got no chance to do. I might have bought it unplayed if I had some opponents that I knew in my area. The figures were amazing and they also had cool mythological beasts to add something than just the historical aspect. ( though I would love just the Historical by itself. ) Arena Rex…



Tomorrow I’ll show you a large Apoc game with wall to wall figures, awesome terrain and loads of non-titan heavy war machines.
