New allies

Really slow going after Adepticon.  Starting to put stuff together for OFCC later this year.  I love my DH and have not intention of replacing them, but it has become obvious they need some help.  Everyone is going to have IG this year which leaves WH or SM.

full circle

Back from adepticon.  Probably one of the best run trounaments/cons I have been to.  Friday started with the gladiator tournament.  I’m grateful I bowed out of it to play in the 400 pt combat patrol.  With no restrictions it was dominated by titans and super heavies.  After talking with some organizers I’m expecting limits next year.

The team event is the premier event at the con and the most fun I had.  I think we won half the games, but it doesn’t matter.  Some people put effort into putting together the nasty combos, but we mostly avoided that.

I went 1-1-1 in the individual tournanent.  I learned a lot about the daemonhunters and I’m optimistic I can make it a winning force without resorting to cheddar comp.

First model assembled is the last one painted(at the con).  It could still use some highlighting, but I like it.

Dread done

Spent longer on it then I had allotted, but I’m pretty happy with it.

Purgation

Man, is the quality dropping rapidly in the final days.

Termies done

In the home stretch.  Three more models to finish for the purgation squad(almost done).  They a couple characters and tanks.  With any luck the next few posts will come rapid fire.

Termie progression

Just noticed them sitting like this across my table and thought I would take a pic since they pretty much show the steps.   Base Coat -> Wash -> Done.   Getting from wash to done is about three highlighting steps and takes the longest.

Tick Tock

This squad done?  Yes.  Done well?  Not really.  But I need to finish 15 more guys this week to get things done in time for Adepticon. I’m trying to pad things a bit so that I have a little extra time to do up my command squad right.  I’m betting on my tanks not taking much time.  I hope I’m right.

Grey Knight #1

I think I’ve finally nailed the paints I’m going to use for this colour scheme.  So, onto a whole squad.

Since the nemesis force weapons work different depending on whose wielding them, I’m going to do them in different schemes.  The normal ones will be metal coloured.  The ones what count as power weapons will be blue.  And the force weapons will be purple.  Easier for me.  Easier for my opponents.
