New Bases - Jungle, No Snow!

Yo

Their was something bugging me about my Cryx army which is why I havent painted anymore until I could put my finger on what. After watching Pirates of the Caribbean, I realised what. I was making a pirate themed army on snow bases! The theme just wasent working so I decided to make this test base with a theme of jungle.

I searched the web and noticed people have been using aquarium plants. Now I wasent totally sold because they were not realistic looking enough. Went to a local aquarium shop and bought some general on offer plastic plants. I decided to paint them and use a variety of flocks... Im pleased now and will continue on with the minis!

iiiiiiit's Chriiiiiiiistmas!

Hi

Well, no not really, but look what mr Postman brought!

This is my 50pt Terminus list, with a couple of options. Im going to get another Warcaster and a few other units as alot of tourmies seem to require you to take more than one list. I will see how this Tier 4 pirate list fairs before I fully commit to another list. But Im really looking forward to getting this lot painted up.

This is what your looking at:

Leviathan Heavy Warjack
Harrower Helljack
Token Se
Revenant Cannon Crew
Revenant Pirate Crew (2)
Revenant Pirate Crew Unit (6)
Trollkin Bloodgorgers Unit (6)
Blackbane's Ghost Raiders Unit (6)
Blackbane's Ghost Raiders (2)
General Gerlak Slaughterborn
Captain Rengrave
Darragh Wrathe
Necrotech and Scrap Thrall

Better pics of the Deathripper

This is now matt varnished and based.... Im not to keen on the base and am waiting for Shane to point it out! I just think its a bit bland. Anyway Im pleased with how it's come out and cant wait to have a fully painted Cryx army. Hope you like.

Oh and got these cool skull beads to use as focus markers, very fitting for pirates!

My First Warmachine Paint job! WOOOYA

Yo

Really pleased with this, straight forward to paint.

And I learnt something - I HATE BATCH PAINTING

Painting my Orks was a really horrible battle of time management whereas this was a nice experience where I could pull the most of what I could do. I have found areas of improvement also which now serves as an incentive as opposed to the excuse of I have loads to paint - that's why its a bit shit...

Started my Starter set!! (Cryx)

I decided to use my new expensive airbrush with these... big mistake! The thing keeps clogging and thats with pure AB cleaner before I put any paint through it.

So I went back to my old one and adjusted the air pressure really low and layered the grey to white. I used the Vallejjo air paints... so easy not having to mix and using the dropper bottle to use exactly how much you need.

This is the base phase, I will be glazing with really thin coats of black ink or wash - not decided yet... would get more done but the weather is gorg, so drinking beer and sunning myself! lol

(I have a delivery coming in the next couple of days, Im soo excited! uh aaar me harties...)

Lich Lord Terminus! One Hell of a Metal Kit!!

Well what can i say, my first bit of hobbying for nearly 4 months! As you may have seen from my other posts I have been getting into Warmachine. Im really starting to get into this now and I think Im going to with a Terminus Tier list.... basically a controlled themed list to the non PP people. The theme - Undead Pirates... yup awesome!

Anyway this kit Terminus... I warn anyone this model is not for the faint hearted. You have to pin EVERYTHING! It has really small contact points in some places and its really heavy. This took me 5 hours to build in two installments. I used brush on super glue for maximum control and floristry wire for pins. The effort in my opinion was worth it, and actually the model is really welly balanced, I dont think it will topple over easily and actually seems really sturdy.

A lot of fiddly bitz!:

As you can see - a nice huge model! Well worthy!! I present Lich Lord Terminus!:

Just need to go round with some GS to fill some holes.

My Tier list looks like this, I may get some Bane thralls as well and swap out the Bloodgorgers....


50 pts

Lich Lord Terminus
Deathripper
Deathripper
Harrower
Leviathan
Blackbane's Ghost Raiders (Leader and 9 Grunts)

Next up this weekend is painting the starter set whilst watching the Grand Prix....

Can anyone comment on this Cryx list?

Yo!

I had my first taster game of Warmachine last night and having only ever played 40k and some spec games before was a massive move for me. I found the game in depth. You have a lot to remember with your own army. So I really want to know my first army like the back of my hand!

I have used the online army list maker (here)  to make this list, with only a very basic knowledge of rules and fluff. I don't understand the tier system, but anywho this is tier 1!

I would like to have my list sorted so I can really get to know my army as I'm learning as I'm a pretty basic individual and it will help me use the army better.

I went for a pirate theme, but I preferred the look of the ghost raiders over the revenant crew. I'm down with pirates and I'm all for just picking an army you like the look of, but if you get a dud list it can be frustrating and costly in time and money. I'm sure I will adjust anyway and buy more things, but it would be nice to collect and paint this army as I learn - instead of the buy everything first. Also I guess if I'm not liking the way the army is heading I can change it without having to overhaul a load of minis... anywho less patter...
