Quick rules dispute with resolution from GW

So in one of my games last week a small rules question came up. Opponents Lucious pattern drop pod (assault out of drop pod) came in turn 1 and a nasty CC dreadnought jumped out, right next to my Mortis-Pattern Dreadnought with 2 TL Lascannons. If the Mortis had stood still last turn (he did), then he has skyfire and interceptor. So I shot at his dreadnought as he was getting out of his drop pod ready to assault. I didn’t kill him, but I stunned him.

My opponent, frustrated that his Lucious pod was effectively useless now that his dreadnought couldn’t assault challanged the ruling. His argument was that the drop pod was the only viable target as it came in from reserves, the dreadnought was merely just disembarking, not entering in through reserves. We had some other players chime in, most saying that I can shoot at the dreadnought as it did come in via reserves through a drop pod. We went with my ruling and the game went on. I easily destroyed the stun-locked dreadnought next turn and went on to win the nice friendly game.

Just for curiousity’s sake, we called GW a couple days later and asked about the ruling. We played it correctly. With interceptor you can shoot at a dreadnought that has disembarked from a drop pod. So if anything enters via reserves in a vehicle and disembarks you can shoot them with interceptor.

This week we've got a re-match. But this time he has the upper-hand. His minis are now painted. Everybody knows a fully painted mini rolls better. These are the Salamanders you have seen on here as my most recent commission

Pics from Throne of Skulls

I'm still waiting on getting the proffessional pictures of my Throne of Skulls army back. Until then, I'll just show some in-game pics that they took. The first two were pictures of my army in action. The last one was from the guy who won best painted for obvious reasons.
I  know that SpaceWolf guy is on Dakka and if you want to check out more of his awesome stuff check here: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/462179.page

Moron's Hobby Update 10/17: Salamanders Commision

I made some progress on my Salamanders Commision, as well as the results of using ArmyPainter Quickshade for the first time. I love it!
It looks like I’ll be able to finish these marines in just one week (even have some time to spare).
The first ten marines got the dip treatment Monday, and testors dullcoat tuesday. All that is left is simple basing.
Monday and Tuesday I painted the basic colors on the other ten marines. They are ready for a dip tonight, dullcoat and base thursday. Then Friday I give the marines back to their owner, in which we will immediately play a game. His painted salamanders vs my unpainted Dark Angels. (I’ll get to them, but customer first)
I put up pics of both squads so you can see the difference the dip makes. Before=simple paintjob that is too bright and looks like crap. After=shading, darker overall tones, and it looks great.
So, excluding drying time, ten marines takes me 4 hrs with this process.

After this commission, I have a lot of catching up to do on my Lizardmen for fantasy, so expect that to come soon.

Moron's Hobby Update 10/15/2012

So hobby update from me, for I don’t know why, because I can?
I’ve started a painting commision. I’ve got to paint 20 Salamander Marines in 2 weeks. (I’m actually gonna try to do it in one week)
I’ve got everybody basecoated, and after tonight the first 10 have all their other colors and are ready for their dip into ArmyPainter Quickshade. I’ve already tried 2 models with this method and I must say it is pretty amazing (If you have a good matte varnish)

I’ve also got a lot of my unpainted marines primed and basecoated behind them. Those are low priority, but they’ll get done.

The last picture is just the results of me testing out a friends airbrush setup on my land raiders, just got the basecoat down, and some shading done with a wash on one or two of them.

You'll also see my Storm Talon Helicopter conversion sitting next to the Land Raiders. It is currently waiting inspiration and extra free time to get the painting finished.
