Continuing Warmachine and Hordes

This is going to be a boring "no pictures I painted" post since I forgot to take pictures but wanted to write them up anyways. These are the official Privateer Press paint job photos that I can only aspire to. My newest purchase for my evergrowing Everblight army: Bethayne and Belphagore!



Together they are a very cool pair of models. I hope to upload pictures showing how the beastly Belphagore has two chest pieces that magnetically clip in place to represent when Beth and Bel are joined into one model.

Also, I've decided to build a Rhulic (Dwarf) mercenary force since hey, I love the models, and have purchased Gorten Grundback to lead them.


And also got a Driller and a pair of "Gun Bunnies" to support him.





With any luck, I'll get some assembled pics up soon. Also, I rehosted the Privateer Press photos to not be a jerk and hotlink them, even though this blog gets no traffic.

HORDES Legion of Everblight Battlegroup

So, thanks to the 10 year anniversary sale of Privateer Press, I have dipped my toes back into the Warmachine and now Hordes as well game. Many, many years ago when Privateer Press first got going with Warmachine, I bought the Menoth battlegroup and a couple of warcasters (including Alistair Caine) and I plan on putting up photos of them as soon as I get some better ones taken. But for now I assembled the Legion of Everblight battlegroup!

Here are Lylth and her Shredders on their Dage Age Clear Swampland bases:






The Carnivean is such a great looking model but my god did I have problems putting it together. I ended up having to pin on each leg, the torso, and the head and then had trouble with the feet and using cork to keep the body upright. I need to do ALOT of greenstuffing to fix all the gaps, but here he is in his current state.

Doomwheel Progress

Holy crap an update! Yes, painting has sadly fallen to the wayside a bit in the onslaught of Fallout New Vegas, Dragon Age II, and Portal 2. But here is some progress! My Doomwheel is coming along nicely I feel with much of the work at what I feel is "ok to good" stage of painting. So, here's my update! I hope to have it done soon so I can either buy a Hellpit Abomination or a Screaming Bell (or both). Also I've got about 50 sad looking Space Marines in the bottom of my display case crying out to be painted. Woof.

Grey Seer Thanquol and Boneripper

These are probably my current favorite models that I've painted. Both Thanquol and Boneripper turned out almost exactly like I wanted. The muscles and bone on Boneripper, I feel, look great and I love how the parchment and robes on Thanquol turned out. Also, looking at my Thunderlord next to my Dwarf Thane, I need to make his hair smoother. Something for the future, I guess.










Also, I'm assembling Space Marines this week. It is going surprisingly well except for the damn Thunderfire cannon which was a beast to get together.

Dwarf Thunderlord

This is the Avatars of War Dwarf Thunderlord. He is an absolutely beautiful model and was a real joy to paint, even though it took me a long time. He is one of three dwarf heroes for my future Warhammer Army to battle my Skaven. I still need to paint the dwarf hold symbol on his cape, but that'll be done when my freehand skills get better.

Captain Sicarius

I originally painted the good Captain to sell on ebay but for two factors: I didn't think he was good enough to sell on ebay and I ended up liking how he came out. He was the first Space Marine (and to this point the only Space Marine) I've ever painted and I had a really good time painting the blues on him. I painted the lightning claws green originally and that is what the picture is of, but I later changed them to metal since I couldn't do a good "lightning" effect. I also attempted some freehand painting on the banner and in case you can't tell, it's a lightning bolt on the front and the Ultramarines U on the back.

Skaven Heroes

When I graduated from high school, I was gifted with a whopping two hundred dollars that I decided to buy a Warhammer army with. And buy one I did. I went to Borderlands in Salem, Oregon (which is still my favorite gamestore) and picked up the recently released boxset of Skaven. It then took me almost 4 years to paint everything in that box. I really like having a fully painted army even though I've rarely played with them and it is fun being able to see the pieces and have a nice way to see how my painting has improved over that time.

My two heroes, a Skaven Warlord and Warplock Engineer, are two of my favorite models of all time. I painted the Warlords shoulder pad green to match my Stormvermin. Unfortunately, the Engineer looks too glossy due to the old school inks I used on him, but I still think he looks great.
