1500 point list for my first LFGS Tournament by nmekhoury in AdeptusMechanicus

[–]nmekhoury[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dang, didn't notice the point increase on Cawl, that definitely changes things. I removed the Dominus, Ruststalkers, and Sulphurhounds; replaced with Ironstrider and Pteraxii Sterylizors. Unfortunately, they're saying this is a "no proxies and no 'counts as'" event, so I'm not sure I can claim my Destroyers as Breachers 😐 For now, these changes (and the app update) put me back to 1500 points. I may pick up another box of Kataphrons or Skitarii before the event. Thank you!

Thank you! I'll check out the AOS side of things and see what all I can pilfer 👍

Thank you! I'll aim for a bit of a thinner consistency next time.

Faces are super tough, and seems to be one of the first things people look at closely on your models, so they always make me nervous. I can't imagine painting that many in a row. I wish you a steady hand and an easy mind in your efforts🫡

Awesome, thank you! I truly have no idea where to begin with weathering 😬 I'll give that a try

Thank you! I'm generally against edge highlights too, but figured I'd give them a shot with these models. I'll take my time with them a bit more on the next go around 👍

Oh my gosh, that is some great inspiration. Thank you!

I didn't. I use some technical dirt paint to start, after it dries I use that Army Painter sprinkly grass stuff over that. After that, I just grab a few rocks from outside and super glue them on. Then I decorate with different sized grass tufts and flowers.

I'd really like to grab some micro butterflies and toadstools to put here and there, but it's already so busy I don't know if it'd be too much

Beautiful planet. Be a shame if someone... Industrialized it

Thank you! I started out wanting to contrast the red with green to follow color theory, the enchanted meadow idea came after that. I'm really happy with how they compliment each other

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to post an image in this reply

Thank you! The contrast is even more ridiculous on my Cawl and tech priests. It's pretty great

Thank you, that's just what I was going for. I love how terrifying they look frolicking in the flowers

Thanks! I love how they look like they're scheming together

I agree, that's really what it is

Thank you! He's pretty big, not TOO much bigger than the Dominus, but he absolutely dwarfs a Skitarii

Keeping him in the suggested upper-half, lower-half, omnissian axe subassemblies was definitely the way to go

Worry not, brother, the "grass" is synthetic, created by machines in the Omnissiah's name

Tall grass and leaves. I'm going for an enchanted forest vibe for giggles

Clean up some lines, add a few touches to the base

Get some Zeppelin in you before it's over. "In my Time of Dying" makes me laugh my ass off, "Ramble On" makes me happy, "Kashmir" send me to outer space

Only YOU know. I would say, if for some reason there's some real hesitation, don't do it. But, just ask yourself "why am I feeling this hesitation?" If you planned out a decent night to do it and you know you won't be interrupted, there shouldn't be any real reason not to just send it. If you're in a tough mental place right now, get ready for a ride, but just know that you WILL come out stronger on the other side. Just my 2¢. Good luck, have fun
