Everything is great but those tanks are beautiful, so lifelike for such odd miniatures.

 

Thank you! This is my first project where I've tried doing chipping/weathering/etc. effects so I'm always pleased to hear that people like the way they've turned out. :)

Absolutely loving this thread.  I'm embarking on an Ordo Reductor army and am getting a ton of inspiration from your work.

 

Question for you - where are you sourcing the transfers? If I'm seeing correctly, are there only three small and two large reductor icons per mechanicum transfer sheet?

 

Thanks for sharing your great work,

 

Christian

I am flattered and extremely pleased that you have found my work inspiring. :blush.: :biggrin.:  

 

As far as the decals go, I actually made my own using some of the info found here. If you are interested send me a PM and I can send you the file. I also believe Carlson793 posted an Ordo Reductor decal file within the last few months over in the N&R section. 

 

I'm excited to see your work. :smile.:

Howdy Gents,
I had the pleasure of going to Adepticon for the first time this year and I played in the 3 day Gomeiza narrative event with my Ordo Reductor. The guys who run it, The Greying Legion, are awesome and put on some amazing events which were a ton of fun. 
 
Unfortunately, I wasn't very consistent in taking pictures so what follows will not give proper coverage to all the games but it'll have to do.  http://heresy30k.invisionzone.com/public/style_emoticons/default/smile.png
 
Gomeiza Day 1: Opening Raids
    For this event players had two lists of 1250 pts, one attacker list and one defender list, atackers had elites as scoring and defenders used troops. 
    
    Game 1 vs Word Bearers(James)
          I played some great looking Word Bearers first. I was the attacker and had to get into the defenders deployment zone to score which was the only area on the board that wasn't difficult and dangerous terrain. The Domitars assaulted his command squad but rolled pitifully and ended up getting squashed by power fists in the next round. My Avenger could not take out his Gal Vorbak in the Dreadclaw for the life of me either. This one ended up being a pretty   strong victory for the Word Bearers.
         http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr70/sol_invictus777/20170323_125712.jpg
         http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr70/sol_invictus777/20170323_130324.jpg
   
 
    Game 2 vs Night Lords(Stephen)
        I played my buddy's Night Lords in this game. Again I was the attacker and chose a mission that required me to blow up some Phosphex silos which he had to defend. We played on an awesome Realm of Battle Industrial Sector  board(which you can see some pictures of in Day 2 below). He had some bad luck when I blew his Caestus full of terminators out of the sky which saw a the majority of them die. Ultimately, I was able to claim victory thanks to my Thallax being able to deepstrike in behind and blow up the silos.
 
    Game 3 vs Thousand Sons(Stephan)
        I played against Thousand Sons in this game as defender and honestly thought this was going to be over quickly as he was running two squads of termies and I had very little ap 2 in my defender list.The mission required him to destroy terrain pieces by being in base contact for a turn and then rolling a 4+ to blow them up while I had to stop them from being destroyed. I ended up winning this one not because of a great performance on the part of my list but rather because the poor Thousand Sons couldn't destroy the terrain to save their lives... But a win is a win so no complaints from me. XD
 
    At the end of day 1 the Loyalists had a significant lead. http://heresy30k.invisionzone.com/public/style_emoticons/default/smile.png
 
Gomeiza Day 2: System Conquest
    Day 2 used two different lists, one 1750 pt list for the first two games and a 2150 pt list for the third game. Day 2 also had mysterious objectives(not the same as what's in the rule book) full of awesomeness. Some were good some were not so good but all had candy and random stuff inside.  http://heresy30k.invisionzone.com/public/style_emoticons/default/smile.png
 
Game 1 vs Night Lords(Stephen)
        Got paired up with my buddy again giving him a chance for vengeance. And again we got to play on the awesome Industrial Sector Board. This was probably my favorite mission of all the events. The board was split into four parts and you had to roll for where each unit ended up being deployed so everything ended up being scattered about which was pretty crazy. My Domitars and Magos ended up less than 12" from his command squad with my Minotaur near by. My Krios Venator ended up by it's lonesome on the left side and I left my Thallax in reserves.
 
        http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr70/sol_invictus777/20170324_122947.jpg
My Archmagos deployed on the building so he could give better line of sight to the Minotaur.

        http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr70/sol_invictus777/20170324_123001.jpg
 I never did learn my lesson about charging command squads with Domitars. His Praetor ID'd one of them first round of combat.... Big squad of thallax with chainblades came in turn two to lend a hand.
 
        http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr70/sol_invictus777/20170324_123009.jpg
The Night Lord raptors were eager to get to the mysterious objective but got a face full of ambulls for their trouble.  http://heresy30k.invisionzone.com/public/style_emoticons/default/tongue.png
        
 After taking out the Domitars, his command squad assaulted my Archmagos where his Praetor issued a challenge which I accepted and he proceeded to ID my Archmagos as well.  http://heresy30k.invisionzone.com/public/style_emoticons/default/sad.png
The game ended on turn 5 with his four remaining models huddled up behind the mysterious objective barely claiming victory.
 
Game 2 vs Thousand Sons
      Game 2 was against another Thousand Sons player(whose name escapes me). In this mission the defender had to deploy within 12 inches of the middle of the table while the attacker could deploy on either short table edge. The goal was to end the game with units within so many inches of the middle of the table. I was attacker so I deployed on my left table edge with my large squad of Thallax on the table and the other in reserves. He deployed two Rhinos a couple of attack bikes and his Castellax in the middle and kept his command squad in reserve. 
        http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr70/sol_invictus777/20170324_153945.jpg
        My Domitars really wanted to get into a big robot fight but his Castellax weren't so keen on that and decided to go the other direction. On turn two he drove a rhino up to block my Domitars from getting close. Of course they ended up  wrecking it but it did it's jobs and prevented them from getting by.
        
        http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr70/sol_invictus777/20170324_153950.jpg
  His command squad came in near my Minotaur and of course having not learned my lesson I assaulted it with my Domitars which resulted in both of them being ID'd first round of combat.  http://heresy30k.invisionzone.com/public/style_emoticons/default/dry.png
 His command squad made short work of the Minotaur. I wiped out one of his tac squads and killed most of the other once my avenger came in. The game ended with a win for me by having both my thallax sqauds close to the center.
 
Game 3 vs Emperor's Children(Freddy the Swede)
 
        My third game of day 2 was against Freddy who runs the Varangian Heresy podcast and his Emperor's Children armored breakthrough list. At this point my voice was startingto go so I don't think Freddy could hear half of what I said but a fun game was had none the less.
        Freddy was running a Malcador and a Typhon?(I think it was a Typhon). My domitars ran straight up the middle surviving a ton of fire to get at the Typhon where they kicked it's face in. I had some pretty bad luck with my Thallax  reserves who all three decided to mishap on turn two and go back in to reserves except for one who Freddy got to place in the far corner where I forgot about them for two turns. http://heresy30k.invisionzone.com/public/style_emoticons/default/sad.png
 Freddy took care of my armor pretty quick either stunning or destroying everything.
        http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr70/sol_invictus777/20170324_182209.jpg
        My Archmagos ran into assault the Malcador but was unable to destroy it.
 
        http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr70/sol_invictus777/20170324_182226.jpg
        The domitars ended up getting shot to death and I was unable to destroy all of Freddy's troops while he finally wiped me from the board. 
 
    Day 2 ended with a slight lead for the traitors. http://heresy30k.invisionzone.com/public/style_emoticons/default/sad.png

Gomeiza Day 3: Culminating Strikes
   Day 3 was two team games at 2500 pts a person, so 5000 pts a side. The missions had specific objectives as well as using Maelstrom objectives.
   Game 1 I allied with Imperial Fists(Joel) vs World Eaters(Donald) and Dark Mechanicum(Josh). 
 
 Some deployment pictures. They had an Atropos and a Falchion while I was running a Macharius Vulcan. We had a special building (Comms Array) that allowed the controlling side to give orbital bombardments to other tables and the winning side would get to keep the building for use in the next game. 
        http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr70/sol_invictus777/20170325_112144.jpg

        http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr70/sol_invictus777/20170325_112729.jpg


http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr70/sol_invictus777/20170325_112734.jpg
 http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr70/sol_invictus777/20170325_112739.jpg
        Turn 1 was fairly uneventful. We took a few hp off the Atrapos and killed a few World Eaters while the Fists advanced. They took a few hp off the land raider and immobilized one of my medusas.
 
        http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr70/sol_invictus777/20170325_120954.jpg
        http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr70/sol_invictus777/20170325_120917.jpg
        Turn 2 is where it all started to go badly. My Avenger came in but immediately had to jink due to the Deredeo across the table and thus couldn't put the krakens into the Atrapos like I had planned. So the atrapos survived and wrecked the land raider with Siggy and sword brethren who it subsequently assaulted. Both IF tac squads got assaulted. One by the WE praetor. One assault squad failed it's charge which would result in it getting eaten up by the Vulcan the next turn. 
 
        http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr70/sol_invictus777/20170325_120925.jpg
        Sadly, Siggy and the sword brethren couldn't hurt the atrapos so they survivors ended up breaking away at the end of the assault. 
        http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr70/sol_invictus777/20170325_130110.jpg
        IF termies came in next turn and the Atrapos survived more shooting. The atrapos would assault and wipe the venators next but would ultimately be taken out by the IF termies.
 
        http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr70/sol_invictus777/20170325_130121.jpg
        World Eaters prepare to snack on some Medusas.
 
        http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr70/sol_invictus777/20170325_130130.jpg
        Thunder hammer termies slowly but surely making their way towards the Falchion.
 
        http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr70/sol_invictus777/20170325_130149.jpg
        The heavy chainblade thallax took out some World Eaters. 
 
 Meanwhile, my Archmagos splatted the WE Praetor. It was pretty clear by this point that we weren't going to be able to win this one so I dedicated my Archamagos to destryoing the Comms Array to deny the bombardments to the enemy in the next round. So in that since I considered it a moral victory.  http://heresy30k.invisionzone.com/public/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.png  But it was definitely a loss for the loyalist this time.

Game 2 allied with Salamanders(Geoff) vs World Eaters(Brad) and Thousand Sons(Shawn)
        For game 2 I allied with some Sallies against World Eaters led by Angron and Thousand Sons led by Magnus(Shawn was also the enemy Warmaster). We had a glaive and the Macharius.
 
        http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr70/sol_invictus777/20170325_170451.jpg
        http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr70/sol_invictus777/20170325_170504.jpg
        Turn 1 had saw Angron's spartan immobilized and the red butcher's land raider also immobilized. We were feeling pretty good.
 
        http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr70/sol_invictus777/20170325_170457.jpg
        Their turn saw Angron jump out and start footslogging and a TS leviathan drop pod in but stay in his pod. 
 
        http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr70/sol_invictus777/20170325_170517.jpg
        http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr70/sol_invictus777/20170325_170508.jpg
        http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr70/sol_invictus777/20170325_170649.jpg
        Turn 2 saw Angron's squad get lit up like a Christmas tree and the leviathan's pod cracked open revealing the delightful nut inside. Still feeling pretty good at this point.
 
        http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr70/sol_invictus777/20170325_175549.jpg
        And then Magnus happened... XD
 
        http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr70/sol_invictus777/20170325_175604.jpg
        Ahriman and some vets also outflanked and took out my Minotaur. 
 
        http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr70/sol_invictus777/20170325_175611.jpg
        Magnus took out the glaive with one D-powered witchfire attack and the tide turned horrifically. Shawn was nice enough to only use the one D-power the whole game but Magnus is still a beast. 
        
 Magnus and boys joined the fray with the leviathan while Ahriman and crew proceeded to get shot up real good. We were able to shoot Angron to death but Magnus proved too much for us. We only made it through turn 4 with a victory for the World Eaters and Thousand Sons.
        
Day three saw the filthy traitors take the system but I believe it was pretty close with the end result coming down to one game.
    
Conclusion
    I had a blast meeting some awesome people and playing some great games and will definitely be trying to go back next year.

Here are some pics of some of the stuff  I finished up for Adepticon. Some of them are missing cables or a few other odds and ends but they're mostly complete. Sorry for the poor lighting.

It was just as much fun as putting 30 AP 3 shots into a squad of marines as I thought it would be. http://heresy30k.invisionzone.com/public/style_emoticons/default/laugh.png  The most point efficient LoW? No, but a lot of fun none the less.

Well, it's been a little while. After rushing to get everything painted for Adepticon last year I was feeling a bit burnt out and focused on some AoS stuff for a bit but it was't long before I felt the siren call of 30k again.

 

Looking towards Adepticon 2018 I knew between work and school I wasn't going to have a ton of time to add a lot of stuff to my army for Adepticon this year so I decided to focus on a few larger pieces to add to my army.

Eeeeevil :biggrin.:

 

Love the Magos!

 

Thanks! I'm pretty pleased with how he turned out. I need to learn how to paint flesh though... 

 

Very cohesive looking force on the table, nice job.

 

Thank you, sir! 

 

 

So, it's been a little while since I posted but I haven't been completely idle. I attended the Warhammer Weekend put on my the Warhammer Citadel in Dallas last month and took second place in the 1500 pt Horus Heresy Tournament. I had a good time and got to meet some cool people and see some great armies. My Minotaur was also voted Player's favorite large model and won the Artefact of Legend Award. http://content.invisioncic.com/f237179/emoticons/default_smile.png

Here's a few pics from the event

My most recent adventure was at The Taking of Phyrix: Act 1 Hubris as part of Flying Monkey Con in Wichita, KS. This was a fantastic event with some sweet looking tables, great armies, some of the  coolest players around, and some awesome swag. It was a two day event with 2500 pt lists with LoWs barred on the first day.

My army was voted player's choice for best painted loyalist and I was voted Preferred Enemy Loyalist (Best Sportsman/Favorite opponent). 

Here's some pics from the event

Dude, fantastic work and bloody good job on the accolades (Hey, best sport to me always is the highest award in tournaments, so right on!)

 

It definitely looks like a blast, and getting to see two Minotaurs is pretty awesome. It's a wicked model, you painted it superbly, and it's in a challenging and totally authentic looking colour scheme. The whole Taking of Phyrix: force looks pretty unique (and that Ol' Fenian Gun Acastus is gold..heh, nice name along with Risin' of the moon, too.). So seriously well done, mate, well done! :) And thanks a ton for posting it up, eh?

Well done on winning the awards brother, I completely agree with @Vykes when he says that best opponent is the real top award. Your force looks cracking on the field, especially those Minotaurs.

Thanks, mate!  The Minotaur is easily one of my favorite models and is a lot of fun to play. And I agree, winning Preferred Enemy was definitely the highlight of the event for me. :)

Thanks! I'm always pleased to learn my opponents enjoyed playing against me so winning Preferred Enemy was very cool.
