Warmachine, first Khador mini's finished

Hi All

Finished the first models for my Warmachine Khador army. Warcaster and 2 Warjack all done. Just need Matt to finishes his Retribution of Scyrah models and hopefully we'll get a couple of learning games in over the christmas break.

Took plenty of pictures this time.

Thanks,

Malifaux - Sonnia Criid's Crew

Hi all

Here's the finished pic's from my Sonnia Criid Crew starter set. Really happy with these, don't think the photo's do them justice.

I've also bought the Gremlin's starter set, once I have them painted I'll get some tester games in.

2 Tone Priming

Hi all

Just a quick update, a while ago I primed my Warmachine and some Malifaux minis. I thought I would try something a bit different.

I read a tutorial on 2 tone priming here and have been itching to give it a try. Basically its spraying your miniatures black, then a light dusting of white spray over the top where the light would hit it. This gives you the benefits of black and white undercoats.

Only painted one so far, my first Malifaux model. Worked really well, made a nice change painting over white.

Thanks,

Andy

The Hellcannon is Finished!

Wow, its been ages since my last post. I've struggling to find the time, very busy at work.

I have had a bit of time to do some painting though and finished the Hellcannon Anyway enough talk, here's the pic's

Used my new way of painting brass on this model.

Paint Dwarven Brass, then a wash of Delvan Mud, followed with a wash of Turquoise Hawk (very thin, I might have put it on to thick), touch up with Dwarven Brass and highlight with Boltgun Metal or Mithril Silver.

Thanks,

Andy

Warmachine, starting a Khador army

Hi All

I picked up the rulebook for Warmachine ages ago and finally got round to making the models I had collected.

For a while now I have wanted to try games other than the ones Games-Workshop make, its not that i'm bored of GW I just want to broaden my Gaming horizon. Also GW haven't really made a new game in 10 years.

My idea was to pick up a few rule-books and just enough model to play the games and see which I like most. (I think I may have a Rule-book collecting addiction)

Looking though the rulebook I liked Khador the most, none of the other races really appeal to me. To be honest I find Hordes much more interesting, I like the look of Trollbloods, Circle Orboros and Skorne, but the Hordes rule-book wasn't released at the time.

Anyway on to the models i've made. I've got about 21 points so far and I think I will leave it at that till I've played a few games.

The plastics are interesting. They aren't supplied the on traditional frames like Games-workshop models, but still have loads of mold lines.

Thanks,

Andy

Hellcannon

Just a quick update on what i've been working. I've been doing a Hellcannon for my Warriors army and I will have to say, this is one of my least favourite models i've put together. It didn't fit together very well and nothings straight.

For the base, I've used an old movement tray which just happened to be the right size and cut some cork to fit

Next I will fill the gaps with filler then flock it.

I've also been making a whole load of other stuff as well, but I think I will save it for another post.

Thanks,

Andy

Warhammer Forge, Dark Eldar & Chaos Dwarf = cool

I been having a look at the pictures from this years Games Day which have been posted on Bell of Lost Souls. And at first glance they look awesome.

The new Dark Eldar look much better than the old ones. although there is no chance I can start a new 40k army, I'm definitely thinking about them for a kill-team!

The Chaos stuff from Warhammer Forge also look really good, the only problem is that I said after the current batch of Chaos stuff i'm working on I wouldn't get any more.

And last but not least, the Chaos Dwarf. At the minute they look just like extra warmachines for Chaos, but then there's this guy, who looks like a army general, so maybe we will some Chaos Dwarf infantry.

Thanks,

Andy
