Painted Major Victoria Haley

I finished the Cygnar I need to for Adepticon for warcasters. Major Victoria Haley is the last model. I needed her for test games of Speedmachine. She runs a Stormwall and a Stormclad with the Stormwall bonded to her for that event. I just need to finish painting the Stormclad and that list will be complete.

Haley was really quick to paint, I managed to paint her in 3 hours. Mostly she's just made up of those robes, so it was really quick.

Painted Caitlin Finch

So this model is a particular milestone for me. It is my 400th painted model. It also finishes off my 50th warcaster/warlock painted. Two very awesome accomplishments. I'm really looking forward to the next set of goals. Here she is.

Painted Artificer General Nemo

Working on finishing the Nemo straight (all the Nemo models), I finished the Artificer General Nemo model. I still have Finch to finish, but she'll get done tomorrow. Here's Nemo, following the same scheme as his other incarnations, in all his electric goodness!

Painted General Adept Nemo

Woot! General Adept Nemo joins the Commander Adept in the completed pile of painted warcasters/warlocks. I'm 22 away from my goal still, but Artificer General Nemo is part of it. I'm also 16 models away from having fully 50% of the warcasters/warlocks that are available painted! That's freaking awesome! I'll be very happy to cross that threshold and never get less than it again.

Here's some WIP and fully painted pics.

Painted Commander Adept Nemo

Finished this guy up tonight. I really like how all the storm models come out for Cygnar. Very happy with the new sculpt for Nemo. The original was awful compared to this one. Now I just have to finish the next two Nemos. :)

Painted Kara Sloan

My work through Cygnar continues. Today, I finished Captain Kara Sloan. I've had good experiences painting Kara Sloan. This is the second time I've painted this model and this one I get to keep. The other was a custom mod'd one for a friend. Very happy to give such a beautiful model away. She paints up really well.

Painted Lieutenant Caine

Finishing off Captain Caine was awesome. Finishing off Lieutenant Caine was just icing on the cake. The models are painted pretty much the same. I'm very happy with how both look. Here's some shots of him alone and both versions.

Painted Captain Caine

So, yes, I need to finish his base, but hell if he isn't the rest of the way done. Very happy with how he turned out. The face, hair, and armor turned out exactly like I hoped for! Very happy to have this guy done! Enjoy!

WIP Caines

I'm working on painting both Lieutenant Allister Caine and Captain Allister Caine. The models are pretty much identical in gear, making it easy to paint one, then paint the exact same color in the same place on the other model. This is two of the six basic colors on the model, not including flesh, hair, or eyes (which add 5ish colors).

New Previews (Well, An Old One Too!)

I've been quite the slacker since Gencon. I worked a ton at the event and really haven't felt like doing much since. I'm glad to be blogging again though.

Here are the two previews that have come from Privateer Press lately, the Pyre Troll resculpt and Stormguard resculpts, both in plastic!

Painted Stormwall

For a league running at my LGS, I've been playing Cygnar. The main reason for this was the Stormwall. I was very excited to see this model come out and really wanted to play it. I've played 6 gaems with it so far at small points value. It hasn't been game breaking yet but I know a few of my opponents have complained because they took lists that couldn't fight it. That happens, but so far the Stormwall hasn't absolutely destroyed my opponents yet. :) That'll change now that it is painted.

Painted Storm Strider

I've painted this model for a friend. He has some issues getting the model and I felt I've owed him for a lot of what he's done for the last few years. I've painted it up for his scheme and now it is ready to be given to him.

I've left the base alone as he'll be buying a DragonForge base for it. The blue wasn't highlighted as I don't really know what color to highlight it and I want to give him the option to make it match his army more.

Stormwall Stats

Jason Martin's insider on Privateer Press' website spoiled the beans for the Cygnar Colossal, the Stormwall. NQ42 has all the rules for the Colossal in it, so pick it up if you want to see all the juicy goodness.

Centurion, Avenger, and Hammersmith Previews

Privateer Press put a bunch of goodies out at once! Next they gave us the Centurion chassis in plastic. I was really blown away by the quality and design of these models when I saw them at Adepticon 2012. They looked imposing and awe-inspiring!

Stormwall Preview

And the first Colossal from Privateer Press is the Stormwall! I'm really excited to see what these things can do. From the preview photos before, I've really liked this warjack. Getting 4 models is really neat too!

Nemo's been innovating, making a warjack run on both voltaic energy and steam power. :) He's a mad genius, after all!

Artificer General Nemo and Storm Chaser Adept Finch

So, Privateer Press has given us our first look at the new epic Warcasters from Colossals, Nemo and Finch. We've seen the concept artwork (which was awesome!) and now we get to see the models.

First off, these models are amazing. Nemo has received one of the coolest epic models, now he's got an awesome second epic model and assistant. His resculpt was fantastic. This model falls in line with how cool Nemo really is. I'm very happy to have been designing an army around running Nemo. If (and when) I play Cygnar, it'll be some form of Nemo.

Secondly, he's the brilliant mind behind the new Colossal. That's freaking awesome. That's the project Darius and Nemo were working on in the storyline. He's leading the industry of Immoren's most technologically advanced country and rocking the house with it!

Minuteman Preview

Privateer has given us the Minuteman model on their website. I think the model looks awesome and is pretty much spot on from what I expected. I really don't want to face many of these guys in the game though because they pack such an awesome punch and are highly maneuverable. I hope some of my locals play them so I don't have to face them only in a tournament.

January Errata 2012

Privateer Press released their latest errata in time for convention season starting with Templecon. There were a bunch of changes that I'll list below that affect quite a bit of the game. A lot of groaning is being suffered by players who ran Skarre, Queen of the Broken Coast because her feat Fate Weaver can no longer target any battle engines, friendly or enemy.

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.

Cygnaran Mechanik & Co.

This Journeyman league has been great for motivation to paint the odds and ends that have been in my basement collecting dust (It is hard for models to mock your lack of motivation from the corner of a basement).
