Adepticon 2007 Recap

Adepticon 2007 is done and over. As with every year this is the best damn player ran Games Workshop event around.

All three of us painted up new armies for ourselves this year for the premier event, with 352 players, the 40K Team Tournament, for two different teams, team Checkmate Hobbies and team Ridiculously Stupid. Each team had different goals when they set out. Team Checkmate Hobbies, which had Thistle and Rodney as members, goal was to win best overall. While Team Ridiculously Stupid, which had Shrub as a member, was to introduce 3 new players to 40K tournaments and finish in the top 50% of all teams. As can be seen in the standings, Checkmate Hobbies succeeded, while Ridiculously Stupid at least had a good time.

My collection of pictures of a lot of the team’s armies are not edited but available in the big gallery.

Also during the weekend, we were able to talk with the folks from Blue Table Painting and chatted with James and Cathy Wapple.

Demo games of Aeronautica Imperialis were also played. The game is simple but provides enough tactics to be a fun diversion.

Site Maintenance

Update (April 15, 2007 11:48): All site maintenance is done. If you find a broken link or missing image, please let me know admin@thistleshrub.net

Update (April 15, 2007 10:35): All pictures should be restored at this point. I’m doing some tweaks to templates which may break parts of the site, but should be short lived problems. Sorry again about the site issues, The Admin.

The administration of the pictures has gone pair shaped and needs to be repaired.
The site will be up, but pictures may or may not be available during this time.

Sorry about the problem, hopefully this will be resolved by Sunday the 15.

What is Thistle & Shrub Studios?

We are three guys who paint miniatures for fun, located in Central Illinois (not close to Chicago). We normally work on Games Workshop models, but we do venture out into other miniatures at times.

We have more information about us available. If you just want to see the minis head to our gallery.We also do take commissions for one off pieces.

Blood Bowl

Central Illinois Blood Bowl, aka CIBBL, has been a nice distraction from painting for the painters of Thistle & Shrub Studios. Why don't you have a look at the chaos of our Wizards College® at work.
