Dreadnought WIP

So I have been busy with school and staining trim for the house so I haven't gotten nearly as much done as I would have liked to this week.

However I was able to get some work on one of my heavy support dreadnoughts this week.

At this point I have a majority of the armor complete, I am still thinking I need to bring some red into the core of the model, but I haven't decided. After that I will be focusing on painting the parchment and other details.

I am still trying to determine why the pictures are yellower than I would like. Near as I can figure it has to do with the white balance and I think the light box I am using has too strong on light bulbs.

Lessons Learned

Quick recap of my Adepticon team tournament practice game. 

Setup:

We elect to play a previous Adepticon Team Tournament from years past. Mission was pitch battle deployment, with the primary objective being hold the center, via victory point total, and secondary was roll dice and tie

Lacking pictures I am not going into a full battle report we did however learn some lessons

1. Wolf Lord + Wolves is just too many points at such a small point game, over a 1/4 of the army.
2. Wolf Lord + Wolves is really at odds with the other army list(s)
3. The mobility offered by the interceptors out weighed the loss of the extra Str 6 Heavy Bolter
4. The DCA out of a Razorback are hard to use

After the game I looked at a lot of options and realistically I think the list is set. I still need to play it more to continue to learn how to use it but I am pretty happy. My buddy on the other hand has some work to do on his.

Adepticon Team Tournament Practice Tonight

I am sure by now everybody knows if they were able to get tickets for Adepticon's 40k events. It was crazy to see the major 40k events sell out in less than a day and the rest within 2 more days. I signed up within the first few minutes and I have tickets for the team tournament and the emperor abides tournament.

My buddy Brian and I will be trying out a few lists for the team tournament tonight.

The list I will be running tonight is:
Coteaz
2x 3 Warrior Acolyte squads, Razorback with Heavy Bolter and PsyAmmo
1x 5 Death Cult Assassins, Razorback with Heavy Bolter
1x 5 Grey Knight Interceptors
2x Venerable Dreadnoughts, 2 TLAC and PsyAmmo
1x Dreadnought, 2 TLAC and PsyAmmo

The list Brian will be running:

Wolf Lord on a thunderwolf, storm shield thunderhammer, wolftooth necklace, Saga of the Bear

2x 10man Grey Hunter packs, 2x meltaguns, Mark of the Wulfen, powerfist, both in rhinos

15x Fenrisian Wolves. Bodyguard for the lord

Long Fang squad, 3 missile launchers, 2 lascannon

The general idea is that dreadnoughts and long fangs provide fire support while the wolf lord pushes forward. The interceptors create a warp quake bubble to keep pesky deep strikers away and anything that gets through the wolf lord gets attacked by the Death Cult Assassins.

I will post a battle report covering the action and lessons learned

Cosmetic Changes

Not a lot at the moment I just made some cosmetic changes to the blog to make searching for things easier as well as a blog roll for my local gaming group so everyone can see what they are up.
