Hey all! Adding a place holder for my adepticon build/progress log since my general painting thread is...bulky. I've got the foam cut out for my 2 display boards, one drukhari and one necron. The necron one has a large hill and some woodland scenics rock molds added, and I intend to do some necron crystal structures to add variety. The dark eldar one is...flat. Need ideas on what to add for details, maybe even just little rocks and shit (the outcropping rock molds are amazing for this stuff). Need to keep it relatively simple since I have a decent amount to paint over the next 4 weeks as well leading up to the event and don't really want to add a $50 webway gate to the project if I don't have to! Here are my preliminary concept drawings (pics to come tonight): And here's a list of the models I need to finish painting for each army, which will be updated with finished pics as each unit is completed: Dark Eldar: - 1x Archon with Blaster (touch ups)
- 1x Venom (primed black)
- 1x Venom base (touch ups - snow flock fell off)
- 1x Voidraven (just detail work - metallics, vid-screens, paint the clear glass canopies, and touch up the snow flock on the base)
- 2x ravagers (primed black)
- 5x scourge with haywire (primed black)
- 5x scourge with heat lance (not primed)
- 5x scourge with shredders (not primed)
- 10x kabalites (not primed)
Necrons:
- 5x immortals with tesla (just final edge highlights on red armor)
- 10x warriors with gauss (just final edge highlights on red armor)
- 4x destroyers (just final edge highlights on red armor)
- 3x wraiths (not primed)
- 10x lychguard (primed black)
- 1x canoptek tomb stalker (unbuilt, unprimed)
- 1x seraptek heavy construct (unprimed, sub assembled)

It's an ambitious project. I look forward to progress shots.

Do you have any extra nose bits from the transports? I know Mike used them to make objective markers to great effect. Those might be a nice dark eldary addition.

Or just go crazy: cut a raider in half and model it coming out of the portal

Need to keep it relatively simple since I have a decent amount to paint over the next 4 weeks "4 weeks" is an interesting way to say "3 weeks." The plans look good!

So I saw there were painting points for the display board. How does displaying your army work? Is there a particular time during the event judges come around to look at your army?
I've put a lot of investment to get my guys painted, weathered, decaled etc. I was curious to see how big a difference the display board makes for overall score.

The plans look good! ah shit you're right - might have to reuse one of last years for the dark eldar then, since the basing matches the display I made for CJs khorne - just need to add snow flock and spikes

Update! Added rock molds, foam crystals, and some rubble/scatter debris to my necron board and began the process of adding spackle/filler to seal in the foam and create texture. Also got all my necrons (except the tomb sentinel - ran out of super glue to glue his legs on!) primed including the big boi, and most of my dark eldar stuff primed. After a quick test fit I decided to use the display board I built for CJ last year for the 40k team tournament for my DE - huge time saver, just need to do minimal touch ups to where I accidentally scratched paint off, and add snow flock. Its crowded, but whatever, it works! Top down view: Still need to prime 10 scourges, which I plan to do tonight. I will also be doing the rest of the sealing layer of spackle/filler on the necron board, adding stones and some rubble etc, in prep for priming that behemoth. With any luck I'll also get the silver and red down on the necrons with the airbrush - I've been listening to Not Another D&D Podcast while painting, which is amazing. (I've never played pen and paper RPGs let along D&D proper, but watching people play and listening to people play/talk about the game is absolutely fascinating).

That dark eldar base is very cool. Dark and thematic. You mind me asking what kind of foam did you use for it?

Everything is primed (whoo!), and the first layer of leadbelcher is down on the 3 wraiths and 10 lychguard, will be doing the big guy and the tomb sentinel tonight. Had to work till 8 last night so only got like 30-40 minutes of painting done. Tonight should be way better.

Are you airbrushing the Leadbelcher or hand painting it?
