Alt. Journeyman Warcaster

I painted my first Journeyman a long time ago. Being the type who hates to repaint miniatures unless the need is truely dire I decided not to dip him, and instead buy the alternative Journeyman model to paint in my current colour scheme. I had some trouble with her sword. The join to her hand was bending and it eventually just fell off. I've reglued it a few times since then. I really should pin it but both her hand and the sword are rather small, and I'm not sure if I have a drill that's quite small enough.

Epic Stryker

EStryker was a pain to put together. The two arms are seperate pieces and the sword with hands attaches onto them. It took a couple tries to get it to work, and a couple reglues to get it to stay. One of which was after I had finished painting him.

Being mainly armour he definately exemplifies the heavy metal look I am going for with my Cygnar army. The Menoth jack on his epic base is done in the colour scheme of a friends army. Nothing like some healthy rivalry.

Back to the Grind

Wow, I feel the guilt. Sure we bought a new house and moved and did all kinds of stuff, but I really could have done some updating on the blog. It's been ages since I did a battle report and I plan to do that after PAX 2010. In the meantime I'm going to start catching up on all the painting I've been doing.

Ol' Rowdy

I really like Ol' Rowdy. It's a great model and fun to play on the field as well. I spent a bit more time blending the blue and yellow than on my other jacks. He's a character and should stand out a bit, but mainly it's because of the huge open area on his right shoulder. Those big squares needed extra work to stop from looking choppy.

Field Mechaniks

May has been pretty busy. We bought a townhouse and went to Paris for a week at pretty much the same time. Still I've managed to get some painting and games in.

The Field Mechaniks are an odd group being both very wussy and not that great at fixing things. Still, I take them in jack heavy lists and they were a small easy unit to do. Their colour scheme is a bit different from my usual Cygnar since they don't have much metal on them, and with the green skin I didn't want too much blue. Blue cloths are scattered around the models to tie them in with the army and the Chief has the yellow accents as well.

Nemo

I've been playing Nemo alot lately. He's kind of addictive to be honest. After a few games where you're throwing around 11 focus it's kind of hard to go back to the typical Cygnar casters 6 focus. I also love his new model. When I saw his art in Escalation I fell in love with its sweeping curves but badass nature, and so the squarish model he ended up with was a real disappointment. As soon as I saw the new Nemo I had to have him, and he's been painted ahead of other warcaster models I've had far longer.

Araln Strageways

Arlan is currently my number one solo. I haven't used the Squire for months, but Arlan is always there. While not giving focus directly to the warcaster, he helps power my warjacks, and when needed can fix them or make them immune to free strikes. I've even used his spray a few times of late.
