Painted Exemplar Errants

The beginning of 25 Exemplar Errants have been finished. I finally finished the minimum squad I've been working on for a very, very long time. It has taken near a month to paint 5 grunts for this unit, but they are finally done.

Painted Paladin of the Order of the Wall Alternate

My son's nap time was really productive. I managed to crank out the alternate version of the Paladin of the Wall for Harbinger's theme force. With them finished and Vilmon done, I have all the Paladins I'll need to make a wall my opponents will hate.

Painted Paladin of the Order of the Wall

The original Paladin of the Order of the Wall is one of my favorite Prime models. Badass and stoic, this model bleeds the feeling of the Order. I painted this model as a slight diversion from the list of Protectorate models I want to paint and play. Fun solo and pretty easy to paint.

Painted Guardian

Finishing Feora's battlebox, the Guardian is done. It also fits in two theme forces, for Kreoss1 and Reznik1. He's helped my battlegroup out a lot with the Critical Pitch and Arc Node. I just wish he was a little faster, but I'm ok with his abilities.

Painted Dervish

I decided to get the small warjack out of the way first. Next up is the Guardian.

I'm excited to play the Dervish, getting him up to two MAT 8 POW 17 attacks with Side Step or Combo Strike for POW 21. He'll be much better with Ignite and the Choir's Battle Hymn. Very excited for games tomorrow.

Painted Feora Priestess of the Flame

Feora, Priestess of the Flame is my current warlock using the alternate battlebox for a Journeyman league. She's an interesting warcaster to play. Not falling into the Engine of Destruction/Ignite combo is a bit difficult, but it'll get easier at higher point values.

Painted Nicia

Another day, another solo. :) Nicia is done for my Journeyman league I'm playing in. She'll get added much later, but I figured I should finish her early.

Painted Intercessor Kreoss

This is the 2nd to last model I need to paint for Adepticon 2013. I was pretty worried about him because I have a very hard time painting Exemplar models. Turns out, like all new models, he was easier to paint than a lot of the old models. I'm really happy how he came out and want to finish him Theme Force now along with Kreoss1 and Kreoss2. Should be a piece of cake after Adepticon!

Mountain King Preview and Holy Zealots

We got a preview of this model from Lock and Load last weekend and Adepticon before it. I'm glad to see it is only $124.99 rather than $134.99 (I really expected the $135 over the $125).

I think this model needs some play time before a final decision is made to its effectiveness. Sure it is expensive, but it has some decent abilities. When I get to Trollbloods, I'm looking forward to running one!

Reckoner Chassis and Winter Argus Preview

Privateer Press must be insane to give us this many previews in a row! It is madness!

Knights Exemplar Resculpts

I found this over on http://miniarmyhugetimesink.wordpress.com. It seems that Privateer Press is rescuplting the Knights Exemplar models. This bodes well for any Grand Exemplar Kreoss Theme Force players to give them more sculpts. No word yet if they are plastic.

Swamp Horror, Rok, and Exemplar Errants Previews

Privateer Press gave us three presents today, the Swamp Horror, Rok, and Exemplar Errants. We could have expected the first two, but the third was a complete surprise! Plastic, for a full 10 man unit, for cheaper than the metal models? Hell yes! That's awesome.

Collection (1/4/12)

This is the entire collection, as of 1/4/12. I'm probably still missing some models that have been lent out to friends.

Who's The Boss December 2011

This last weekend I played at the Who's the Boss event at Misty Mountain Games in Madison, WI. The concept of the event was that you make a 50 + 5 warjack/warbeast point list with a minimum 10 points in your battlegroup with no warcaster/warlock. Before each round, you spun the wheel to determine which warcaster/warlock was your leader. You couldn't get your own faction's warcasters/warlocks. It was amusing with some of the combinations (Trollbloods with Stryker1 for example really were INVINCIBLE!).

Unbound Game 2

I got together with three friends (Konkel, Dave, and Danny) to play a big Unbound game. It would be my second game and everyone else's first. We decided that we'd determine the scenario and teams randomly before the game (this won't happen again). We ended up with Protectorate of Menoth (Dave) and Circle Orboros (Danny) against Konkel (Khador) and myself (Cygnar this time around). Talk about teams that hate their teammates!

We ended up playing the Scorched Earth scenario. Konkel and I were the defenders, Dave and Danny the attackers. In hindsight, I'm always choosing to be the attackers going forward as Konkel and I had the choice.

The game ended on turn 3 with Danny and Dave destroying three buildings to achieve victory. Konkel and I just didn't have the speed to cope with their lists. Well, this lesson with just remind me to play Cryx and play fast stuff.

Each player brought 100 points to the table. List and photos of the start and end of the game after the break.

Painted Daughters of the Flame - Day 3

I finished the Daughters of the Flame tonight.  I need to do eyes and dip the models, and I'm finished with them for awhile.  Very happy with how the unit came out.

Painted Daughters of the Flame - Day 2

Here's my progress after spending a good deal of the day painting the last 5 Daughters of the Flame.  I can't wait to finish the last two colors on the last two.  Shouldn't take too long after work.

In other new, Seraphsong has challenged me to be fully Hardcore painted by Warmachine Weekend this year.  What that means is I have to be fully painted and based with all the armies I'm bringing up there.  I plan on working on lists Tuesday, and then start playing them out (and painting the hell out of them).  I don't expect to win any awards for painting down there, but it will be fun to be fully painted for the event.

Painted Daughter of the Flame

I've been getting close to hitting 12% painted for a few days now, and I've decided to paint the last 6 models to hit 225 (which is a little more than 12% of my collection).  Felix and Michael helped me choose the models.  Here's the result, before I dip her.

Entire Collection (As of 4/6/11)

Here's a collection of photos of my room/collection, some older, some newer, but up-to-date as of 4/6/11 (which means they are still old).

Painted Vassal Mechanik

Continuing my progress for the Mayhem Cup, I finished my first Vassal Mechanik I've been working on.  He is painted utilizing my current Protectorate color scheme of Blighted Gold, Pig Iron, Bootstrap Leather, Sanguine Base, Menoth White Base, Thamar Black, and Idrian Flesh.  I'm very happy with how he turned out and I'm excited to dip him soon.
