Early Fathers day gift! A lightbox.

As it turns out my better half was sick and tired of me complaining about my lack of a light box.  So she did what any awesome better half does (I mean duh shes not the worse half), she made me one!

I am pretty stoked about it, so I retook some pictures of Adeptis Rahn and Kaelyssa to see the before and after pics.


The results are below for your viewing pleasure.

How to: Assembling your Mage Hunter Strike Force

Assembling your Mage Hunter Strike Force:
 I have read over and over that this particular unit is a pain in the arse to get assembled. Worse yet, it seems the crossbows like to break off after you go through all the trouble of getting them together.
I am a big advocate of pinning my models and set out to see if you could reasonably pin the crossbows on. It turns out, you can, and I will walk you through how.

Painting: Kaelyssa Finished and some WIP Griffon shots

Kaelyssa is done! Based, sealed, and ready to KILL ALL HUMANS!
Ahem...

In this post I also have some shots of my Griffon; sadly it's gonna get stripped. The Greenstuff work is rough, I found some mold lines, and I am not happy with how the wash settled in some places. I did some of the work on him under the comfort of something southern. Too much comfort in fact.

Anyway, below are the pics.

Painting: Retribution Update

I have the last (no really I swear it) pic of Rahn all painted. Also are some W.I.P pics of Kaelyssa and a Soulless escort.


I also have the base colors on 4 Myrmidons so I just need to start washing, drybrushing, and highlighting.  At the pace I'm going I should have at least 1 or 2 ready by this Thursday.

Anyway on the pics.

Adeptis Rahn 95% finished

So ended up putting some serious work into Rahn fleshing out his paint scheme. It was a test bed for me to practice some advanced painting techniques and really set the stage for the rest of the force. In both of those regards I think I succeeded. There are still mistakes on the model, but I'm just trying to push the upper limits of "tabletop" quality so i wont go back and fix the little stuff.

Kaelyssa is coming along nicely and am still working out the kinks of the new painting style.

I ended up adding some more shading to Rahns armor with brown wash, which really brought things into focus. My glazing ended up muddying up the shading too much and it needed to be fixed.  I had some friendly people on the Privateer Press forums point it out to me. Anyway below are some more pics.

Scyrah Calls

My Warmachine collection has grown with the blessing of the better half. Most notably in the Retribution of Scyrah department.

I love the models and the rules. I've managed to play some games and I am enjoying it. This weekend I want to get some larger games in so I can get a better handle of the rules.


I haven't played a game at the new local game store so I don't know exactly how friendly they are...
