Terrain for Adepticon, Part 3

Here's some pictures of the buildings and fountain, after some progression. Some of the buildings still need a bit of work, but they are all really close to finished.

Terrain for Adepticon, Part 2

I've been slowly working on my terrain for Adepticon. I only have 17 days left, so I really need to get moving. Here's the last progress I made. I finished the buildings core structure. We've begun painting but I forgot to take pictures, like usual. I should have more photos and an update late Tuesday night.

Terrain for Adepticon

I'm in the middle of making some terrain for an Unbound board for Adepticon. Here's some progress pictures. I need to make 6 more buildings, 3 more for the town square and 3 for other places on the table. Each building is currently pinned and made out of 3/16" foamcore. Each building is approximately 4"x6".

Goals for 2012

Instead of painting aimlessly in 2012, I've decided to try to come up with some goals for next year.

• Paint 75 models next year, from any faction (1.4 models a week)
• I finished 53 models this year to date, this should be doable
• Finish at least 1 unit I have half done (off the top of my head, I have a 11-woman Satyxis Raider unit or a 12-man Exemplar Errant unit to finish)
• Blog 12 battle reports
• Finish two Theme Forces at 50 points, Tier 4
• Extra Credit for finishing a Theme Force that has no painted models currently
• In the competitive environment, only play painted models
• Leagues and trying stuff out is ok to be unpainted
• If I play a model for more than 6-10 games, it goes on the painting list
• Paint at least 5 warcasters/warlocks
• Build a city Unbound table for Adepticon in April 
• Paint Ogre Army for Fantasy that I purchased this year
• At least finish Ironguts and Ogre units

I know this is a little early, but it is better to have goals before the end of the year.

Any suggestions on any other cool goals?

AdeptiCon Wrapup and Photo Dump

Back from AdeptiCon 2011.  I've gotten more sleep than I did at the convention.  Overall, my feelings were very good about the convention.  Privateer Press impressed me a ton with their commitment to making Adepticon a home for Warmachine and Hordes.  To do this, they put a battle box of the 4 main Warmachine factions (Cygnar, Khador, Protectorate, Cryx) in the first 1000 grab bags for AdeptiCon.  That's right, they put at least $50,000 retail into AdeptiCon's free swag bag.  Holy hell!!!  Privateer Press earns a very, very large thumbs up from me on this.  They were also running demos all weekend and giving out free Primes (the rulebook) to players!

Privateer Press also shipped out some display boards for AdeptiCon.  The photos will be after the break.  The board that impressed me the most was the Corvis board.  This board was used to make a historical battle report in an upcoming edition of No Quarter Magazine and we got to see it early.  It looked fucking fantastic.  Very, very beautiful.  I couldn't stop looking at it.  I took photos before models were placed on it, as I forgot I had a camera once AdeptiCon started in earnest (doh!).
