Welcome back Rust aficionados! This week brings you a blow by blow account of the ork walkers in their first mini GT showing! The claw was thrown down, and with charity on the line, the orks would push towards victory! The Charity BBQ was a small GT event, of 11 tables, with all food, and registration proceeds going to breast cancer research. It was outdoors, under tarps, and in a garage, and led to a very friendly (person, not list wise) social event. I had a great time, and was even able to meet Joe from Joesavestheday. I had a blast, and met a lot of cool people. I wish it was a bit cooler, but hey, we can't have everything!

Welcome to the RUSTY DOME! It's rematch time, and a clash between bloggers! Todd from Sincain40k brings the new Craft World Eldar to face down the rusty walkers of doooooom (and explosions). Dreads would explode, explode, and explode some more! I hope you are ready for a Michael bay series of explosions ladies and gentlemen! But wait...there are two new dreads in the mob! That's right, greggles has been busy! Been on a building rampage lately. Lets see what I've finished up!
Welcome back my non resin constructed friends! This past week I was in a resin paradise (or hellscape depending on how you look at it), continuously cleaning, gluing, scraping, sanding, and fitting various kits. Sincain40k is coming over my place on sat to have a Nova Open rematch (and practice for trios), so I've been trying to get my remaining walkers put together in time! If you are a DC Metro (VA, MD, DC) local, a new gaming group for 40k is starting up at Victory Comics! They have a forum for scheduling games, and will be supporting/covering Warhammer 40k, Malifaux, Dropzone Commander, X-wing, Infinity, Warmahordes, Star Trek Attack Wing, and Bolt Action. Please stop by and check them out! Back to the hobby! So my main goal was to get stuff off my gaming table. This meant a lot of sanding, gluing, rubber bands, and fitting!
(This is my final adepticon 2015 post. On the first day of adepticon, the first tournament started before crystal brush opened, so I was walking around with my entry. Shantz thought it was a good idea to do some deff dread selfies...they came out amazing! So this post is about them, the ork/navigator battle, and misc remaining photos I had! Enjoy!)
Welcome back lovers of tabletop figures! Today's photo post is all about shots of combat taking place...on the tabletop. These are photos that are not of stand alone armies, or single figures, but groups of figures facing each other on the tabletop. This post also includes the absolutely stunning Navigator vs Ork friendly battle that I was fortunate enough to take photos of! Enjoy! Welcome back guys! Hope you have been enjoying all these images! Today I'm posting the beauty shots I took from Adepticon. These are close up photos of single mini's, or single groups of mini's, with most of the background out of focus. The remainder of my images consist of these, battle photos (people playing with their minis in a game), and misc photos. So I split them up. Wednesday will be about my experience, and the classes I took. Thursday will be battle photos (including navigator army vs ork army!), and we'll see what happens on friday. Thanks for stopping by! Off to the photos!
I gotta tell you right now, the friendly was the most awesome tournament I've ever seen. If you ever think you have even the inkling of attending a tournament, sign up for Adepticon's friendly. Everyone was having a blast, and it was highly praised! This post isn't just about the friendly though, but also the team tournaments, which had the most incredible displays I've ever seen. Read on to see all the videos and photos I took of these two fantastic events! So the friendly passed out sashes to everyone...and they got merit badges as they played...and drank a TON....
I told you guys there was a lot of photos! Going to be a phototastic week. If you were not aware, adepticon is not just about the grand tournament...in fact it's not even known for that! (It's known for team tournaments). At any time during the day there were tons of 40k/30k games going on, including a giant 3D space hulk, a pirate game with gigantic ships, xwing, robotech, dropzone...it doesn't end. And neither will the photos for awhile! I will try and separate these into sections...as this time I divided up my photo taking into days, so it's a bit easier to associate them into various tournaments...but there is a bunch, so probably a bit of overlap. I also took a ton more video this time (especially of the team tournaments). Well lets get started! Enjoy! (Note: Some of these "Could" be from the GT...it's just sometimes people didn't have their armies setup, some people missed the first round, etc etc. I would try and take shots of any army i hadn't seen before!)
Welcome friends and all the new visitors! I'm back from adepticon and boy did I have an incredible time! I'm going to do things a bit backwards this time, and start off with all the wonderful army photos, then add the articles about my time at the event later in the week. It'll be a non stop posting fest of adepticon goodness, so hold on to your warbikes! I went a bit nuts this time, and took around 1200 photos, so get ready for some incredible armies! The above image pretty much sums up how awesome adepticon is. You have to go. Just go. I will be guest writing an article on house of paincakes to tell you all why you should be at that awesome wonderful events! But for now, please enjoy the fruits of my endless photo labors :).
Greetings everybody! Hope everyone is doing well this Adepticon Wednesday! That's right, it is finally time for Adepticon! Today I'm going to talk about what I've been up to in prep for adepticon, (my schedule), meetups, work on my deff dread for crystal brush, and how I transported my orks to LVO. It's a whopper of a post! If you are interested in the case review, click the above image, or the giant button below. If you are ready for the amazing great chipping fluid experimentation, read on! You've all been waiting for this. It's the royal rumble, the main event, the clash of titans. Walker vs Walker BATTLE! Round 3 would be my absolute favorite round, just because Jason had the exact same idea I had (to bring tons of walkers), only from the chaos perspective. What would follow would be a non stop action packed slugfest that covered the table in death and destruction...and before it ended, one of us would be yelling "ENGINE KILL!!!!" This game was very evenly matched. It was purge the alien, dawn of war, I had nine kill points, Jason had eight. Walker vs Walker destruction!
Hey guys! Originally I was going to do two bat reps in each post, but then it took over an hour to write up and get the last one up...so I am splitting them up. It looks like the east coast is about to get a foot of snow, so I figure this will give us something to read and chuckle about! My second tournament battle was vs Jeff, and his unbound BA terminator army. Though I'd be facing BA again, it was an entirely different army, and was basically the infantry equivalent to my walkers. (slow, but with tons of hammer and invulns). We decided to play each other after just chatting and shooting the breeze. That's how friendly pairings work! It's like a loose tournament of pickup games.
Hey Guys! Welcome back! Today I'm going to run you thought my first Friendly Las Vegas Open battle! Ork Walkers vs Blood AngelsThere will also be some bonus Las Vegas Open images at the end! (That's right, I found MORE!). I was going to do a review of my transport for LVO, but decided to hold that off till I am less lazy. You will also be able to find these bat reps (bit less narrative, but more laid out) over at the battle directory run by the man Cadian Shock! My first opponent at the Las Vegas Open was Justin and his blood angels. I met Justin when the pairing for Friendly GT was announced. "Find someone you haven't played before, shake their hand, and that is your opponent." Justin was waving with his hand in the air proclaiming he needed an opponent, all smiles, so I gravitated right towards him.
This is my first double post in one day, back to back. I wanted to try and do this in one single post, but weebly started acting funny at around 160 images...So here is a link back to the first part if you missed it in the blog rolls! So as before, this are photos I snapped while games were in progress, so there is a wild variety of armies, shots, etc. Hope you guys enjoy!
Welcome back guys! I hope you are enjoying all the LVO photos! Yesterday I posted all the army shot photos. If someone set up an army on the table, and I was around, I snapped a shot. Today's photos are of games in progress. Many people didn't setup their army on the table unless they were playing, as you were constantly forced to move them around. In those cases, when I had a chance (I was in the friendly so had round breaks), I ran around the entire floor as quick as I could, snapping table shots. You'll see a lot of variety in these shots, but will have to do your best to come up with thoughts about army composition. I apologize if I didn't have enough time to introduce myself to everyone...it was a hectic time! With that out of the way. Here are the photos! Enjoy guys! (Note: Some of these photos are out of order. I was experimenting with how large I could make each gallery without breaking weebly, so I went back and added some more to the first galleries. It's a lot of photos, so please forgive me. Sorry mobile users!)
