My plan was to go to Adepticon this year. However, life does happen. Last week, I was hired to work at Dell computers. So, my dreams of conquest at Adepticon will have to be postponed while I pursue finacial security. I was really looking forward to the trip as there are atleast 20 locals going to the event. I'd like to wish my teammates and all the other Minions/BoLS players much good fortune in all the events. I hope y'all kick ass and have fun.
Even though, I won't be able to attend, I will be there in spirit and 2 of my armies will be there, as well. The III Praetorian Rifles and my Space Wolf armies will both be used in the team tournament. So, if you're at Adepticon and happen to see my armies and have any questions or comments about conversions, feel free to leave a comment here on my blog.
I have played quite a few tournaments lately. That is partly to blame for me not writing a blog for a while. One tournament in particular was a real downer due to some flat out cheating. It really left a bad taste in my mouth. In my world 22 is always more than 18 but, I will write more on this later. Despite the one bad tournament I have been involved in a some really good tournaments, lately.
We had a 2500pt Hobby tournament that was fun, I was able to use 2 squads of Ogryn, a 1250pt Super Hobby tournament that was an absolute blast, A 2500pt Hobby Team tournament, my partner and I went to table 1 for the last game and got beat by Jwolf and Goatboy, and a 2000pt Heavy tournament that was pretty intense. I got to table 3 in that one but, pulled a draw against Colby Anger(BoLScon 2009 best general) and got knocked out of placing. The turnouts at BFG have been really outstanding lately(30+) and one tournament they actually had to turn a player away. Also, I have been playing in an escalation league. We are up to 1250pt, so far. The Space Wolves are coming along and I look forward to getting the whole army done.
If you're going to Adepticon, have fun. If not, are you planning to be at any other GT level event? Hopefully, I'll see you at BoLScon 2010!
Now, get out there and roll some dice!

First of all, I have not used this kit....yet. However, after seeing DeSnifter's conversion on BoLS, I really wanted to do some preheresy Rhinos to go with my preheresy Space Wolves. I really hate plasticard...and it hates me. So, this conversion was not going to work for me. I went ahead and did some Mk II's with wolf pelts and thought I was done. Until I saw this conversion kit by Chapter House Studios (chapterhousestudios.com) . The kit appears to be very straight forward and judging from other Chapter House products that I have seen, the quality should be great. I am now determined to have some MkIs for the Wolves. At a cost of $16.50, it will save plenty of cussin' and blood.
On a related note, Chapter House also makes some cool MkI shoulder pads. The also have some new preheresy jump packs that are cooler than hell. Go check them out chapterhousestudios.com
