So, at Adepticon my Iron Warriors managed to go 9 wins, 2 draws, and 1 very narrow loss. That's counting both the Team Tournament where half of our army was the Iron Warriors and the other half was James's Pre Heresy Space Wolves. It looked really awesome to have two fully converted pre heresy armies fighting it out at one of the gates to the Emperor's palace, and it felt really really good for our team to take 4th place overall and only suffer 1 draw during the team tournament. 7 wins and 1 draw there is awesome.

In the championships however they did not perform quite as well as I had hoped. I drew Reecius from Frontline Gaming and had a very narrow loss to him, won my next two games against an all Death Wing army, and a 90 power armor body Iron Hands list with massive amounts of Lascannons. Then I got a draw with my buddy Mike in the final round of the Championships. Still I pulled off 47th out of 200+ there, so that leaves me a happy man.

And now, on to work with the ATC army, which will either be the Wolves with a bit more work added to them, or my Imperial Guard who are either going to be styled as the Olympian 7th, or the Caintuk 7th. Either way, there will be gray, there will be red, and it will hopefully start getting converted like crazy.

Because I've been bitten by the conversion bug, and it won't let go.

That does mean of course, that I will have to keep working on my Iron Warriors, because while having 6 full 10 man squads of regular marines and 15 missiles is nice, I want more.

I want a throng, a hoard, I want to be able to show off a full company level or more of marines, and by god, I will have it. So that's the goal, a full grand company. Minimum 100 power armor bodies, preferably closer to 150-175.

Best get cracking.

Five squads...

I've managed to get five squads fully assembled. All with bolt pistols, power fists, and dual melta.

Add to that I now have two squads fully painted, fully based, and done except for their chevron patterns which I am unhappy with. Those will probably get a rework sooner rather than later.

This total does not include the 11 terminators I have fully completed and ready to go, nor does it include the one character model I scratched together and am happy to consider a "counts as" for Kharn.

Tomorrow night I plan to get the first few layers done on at least one more squad, and possibly get the first Rhino worked on.

Again however, I've gotta get the chevrons fixed. For now the two squads and all the rest are drying from their seal and basing, I WILL get pictures of them posted within 48 hours.

And unless I miss my guess we should have episode 3 of the BPR6s podcast recorded this coming Sunday.

Iron within, Iron without.
