For the benefit of all involved I am revising my previous plan. Thank you to everyone who has voiced their opinion, and thank you for everyone keeping a cool head about it. I would like to bounce some ideas about factions around at the ORDO senate meeting but for now please know that the restrictions will be relaxed significantly. I will finalize the specifics after this weekend. Team size is going to remain at 4 as in previous years.

Dear gaming friends of 1.5 decades, I'm happy to announce the inbound arrival of a new gamer Merry Christmas & Happy New Year! https://photos.app.goo.gl/hEvyP3NkqLVbnCUA9 Link to video and pictures with our announcement God bless, please enjoy! Becky is currently 15 weeks and we find out gender in 5 weeks. Due July 16, 2020

Step 1 - Da Kunnin' Plan Like the rest of the hobby world, I was curious how the new Citadel Contrast Paints worked compared to traditional hobby paints. Along with the usual hobby disease of buying whatever is shiny and new, I figured there were a few other hobby symptoms I could bundle together and treat all once with a bit of planning. Here's what I wanted to achieve: Try shiny new paints released with a whole lotta marketing and fanfare As Contrast Paints are designed to speed up painting to tabletop quality, clear out some minis from the backlog on my shelves End

Fantastic! I just finished the driver for my Exorcist last night, and the Canoness is getting close!

Thank you to all for the feedback and assistance in making sure this event goes off smoothly and everyone has a great time. If you have your team all set up please send me a PM here, on FB or via email at Jarredh@gmail.com. I will add your team name to the roster. You will still need to buy tickets, this is just to get an idea of who is bringing a team. Also let me know if you are in need of a player for your team, I will add that info next to your team name. Last thing, please consider booking a hotel room for the weekend. We are all hoping the COVID19 situation is resolved by July so i

Finally opened the Blackstone Fortress I won at Fluger's Fundraiser last year. Kids put all the 'Bad Guys' together Saturday,we primed and painted 'em all on Sunday. Got the 'Hero' models primed on Sunday and painted Monday. Played the first Combat round with an eight year old and an almost 11 year old yesterday, only took several hours while paging through the reference books.

Wow, this is awesome stuff....I just found this...can I offer up my dudes I finished last night? Cuz here they are...

White Scars Deathwatch Veteran Captain on Bike

My daughter drew this for me.

When I got home, I hid the stuff I’d bought — the specialist magazines, the equipment — away from my wife. I was indulging in an old, shameful habit; I’d given up decades earlier, but a single taste and I’d fallen back into it.

Fresh from their 2nd dullcote, I have finished up this unit of Swordmasters and a Noble Elf! The Crimson Legion grows! more Infinity on deck too!

Here’s Black Widow defending Springfield’s favorite comic book shop from the menacing Red Skull and his twisted plot to replace all copies of Captain America with Youngblood #0. Worst. Comic. Ever.

Here are 4 chaps I cobbled together from the bits bin, they'll get painted in week 2. I'll add my painted models to this post later in the week. Added a commisar Added a squad of loyal guardsmen done at the last minute. 😺

Finally finished the Fragdrill... someone shoot me if I say I want to do a second one... More photos at the blog: https://miniordnancerev.blogspot.com/2020/02/finally-finished-fragdrill.html

Finished the Captain, Lieutenant, and chaplain from the Indomitus box:

Here are some Space Marines, guarding their blades.

Finally got off my ass and did some hobbying. Gotta wait for daylight to prime his base (custom 3D printed!) But after that, he'll be good to go.

Battle Sanctum completed.

First model out of my Indomitus box finished. Great detail and lots of fun to paint -- I can't wait to see the upcoming multi-pose models!

My Lightbox arrived today...

We are currently on week 4 of the challenge, see the applicable post for weekly challenges. Given that we are all stuck inside, let's make the most of it and get through a bunch of those painting projects you no longer have an excuse to put off. The rules are simple each week, post in this thread what you assembled or painted that week. At the end of the week(Sunday as at midnight give or take) we'll decide who won each of 4 categories. Also include information on what you were going for or anything other details you wish! For this week anything you have a

Finished the Hulk in the wee hours Saturday morning, so I just barely squeezed him in under the wire for Week 3. Here’s a comparison shot with a standard Tactical Marine... How do you say “Absolute Unit” in High Gothic?

Wanted to get these guys done for last week, but didn't quite make it. The front 3 guys I fully painted, but the rest just got some detailing and basing. Progress so far: 1 commisar 15 guardsmen 6 assembled marines 3 painted marines

I can finally call my to-this-point pure Custodes force, Talons of the Emperor! Sisters of Silence Prosecutor Squad

A change of pace. I'm going to paint my friend's Space Wolves army for him, and am very excited about the new project. Getting started with the Imperium's Best Doggos:

The Judiciar, coming to mete justice.

Some Space Marines, riding out.

Just finished my first squad of assault intercessors. Made lots of mistakes, but moving on to a Judiciar.

Im running Thousand Sons & Tzeentch deamons these days. with Necrons on the horizon

Shotgun Scouts

Finished my Primaris Apothecary.

I never posted anything because I felt like the stuff was never finished. It actually still isn't quite done, but just going to weather a little more and add some barricades for better LOS block. Close enough to at least show some pictures.

Greetings Ordos As you may know, Multnomah County has entered phase 1 for reopening. We are going to start hosting Game Nights at WoW again, starting on June 23rd. There are a variety of concerns for reopening while still trying to limit the spread of coronavirus, so I want to go over what we will be doing, and what we will expect our members to do. We want to make the clubhouse available and safe for all our members, to the best of our ability. As always, we trust you to use your best judgment as to whether or not to attend, based on your own risk levels. If you or

I predict that the new edition will fix a lot of the imbalances of the current, the first half dozen new codices will be nicely balanced, and although the Internet hive-mind will figure out a couple quirks and niche exploits, things will be great... for two years. Then GW will start releasing codices that break many of the core assumptions written into the core rules and become far to powerful; GW will release several supplements that are poorly tested and rushed; the Internet hive-mind will figure out unintended combinations that totally skew the game... and three years after that we’ll

I have updated the main post with the changes. Thank you to everyone for the well thought out and kind suggestions and explanations of your specific situations. I really do like my own ideas LOL however I am humbled and inspired by the knowledge, wisdom and experience of my fellow gamers here at ORDO. I hope I did not ruffle anyone too much, I know this will be an incredible event and will be EXACTLY what we all need after the current lockdown.

Just to chime in from an organizer’s side: Khan and I can take the blame for this announcement coming on the ‘late’ end. Jarred has had plans in the works, and was ready to make this announcement when we originally planned to launch tickets. Unfortunately , that date in mid March came right as Oregon and Washington starting having official restrictions on gatherings. We held back from having our cohesive launch for all events and tickets as we scrambled to communicate with the hotel, and amongst the senate, and figure out what type of plan seemed to make the m

Hospitaler and Imagifyer done.

The race is on. I hope to finish these by Sunday midnight.

Back in 3rd edition, I pretty much exclusively played Imperial Fists. I've decided to modernize them; here's the Redemptor I finished last week.

found these two in the back of a drawer...Necrons are cool 😜 Before After Progress so far: Leviathan dreadnaught chaos lord in terminator armor chaos havocs of doom Exalted Sorcerer Rubrics marines and 2 tomb blades

I took last week off work to spend some time with my son. He painted a little, I painted a lot. Also worked on his merit badges and such... Here's what I managed to finish up - some were not technically "started" last week, but all were "finished" last week! All hail the cult! 😄

Those Sisters and the Commissar look great! I just finished up 2 Chaos models yesterday, Valkia, a winged Chaos Space Marine Sorceress, and Annika, a Renegades and Heretics Enforcer or Renegade Commander Here are some photos: Valkia Annika Valkia and Annika together

I know Ordo isn't necessarily the place for ITC talk, but I thought I'd give anyone who's dabbled with it (or avoided it thusfar) a heads up that the Beta rules for 2020 have been released. I'm not going to bore you with a point-by-point compare and contrast, but I'll offer up the broadstrokes. I agreed to get involved in the competitive ITC team in Bellingham because there's a core of serious players here that are tired of getting stomped by damn dirty Canadians. I'm not personally invested in ITC (or competitive 40k in general), but if I can help others be successful, I'm in. Plus,

So the Genestealer Cult boards have been really a hot bed of conversions and kitbashes lately. One of the users posted a great conversion of the Kroot from Blackstone Fortress and I was inspired to make my own. I'm working on getting some better photos as this one just doesn't do it justice, but I've just about finished up my sniper Sanctus including a servo skull as familiar... Some high level details on the conversion: More at the blog: https://miniordnancerev.blogspot.com/2019/11/genestealer-cult-converted-sanctus.html#more
