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!

Painted Vyros, Incissar of the Dawnguard

With only a model left to paint for Adepticon 2013, here's Vyros2 for your viewing pleasure. I really enjoyed painting the horse. Vyros himself wasn't as much fun because he just didn't feel as detailed. It was suggested that I paint the fin on the top of the horse's head a different color. Suggestions?

Painted Midas

Finished the final Farrow warlock I needed for Adepticon. Midas looks pretty good for me not being able to paint blood or flayed flesh well at all. I want to play Farrow again now, thanks Faction ADD...

Painted Karchev the Terrible

Finally finished Karchev the Terrible up. He's a big model, paints like a warjack, but has a bunch of extra stuff that ate up a lot of my time. I'm glad he's done. I'd be happier if this were Friday instead of Sunday, though. I have 11 more to do in 24 days. Time to get onto another...

Space Wolf Objective Marker


Finally got ahold of some 40mm round GW bases (thanks, twin). Now I can get to crackin' on my 3 objective markers for Adepticon. Here is my first attempt:

Painted Kommander Orsus Zoktavir

First off, I like the model. Second, I hate the base. I rubbed so much paint off of it painting it that I know I'll always be doing touchups on it. :| Really not happy with that. I'm happy with how he turned out, so much that I really want to play his Theme Force soon. :) Gotta buy lots of Doom Reavers...

Painted Forward Kommander Sorscha

Amazingly enough, for such a relatively simple model, it took 14 colors to finish Forward Kommander Sorscha. She's done now and I'm happy my color scheme is working out for Khador. It is the basic scheme with a slight modification to the black. Instead of using Thamar Black, I'm using Coal Black to give it a green tint that looks different than straight black. Very interesting if you know about it.

Mike will be happy I highlighted the base. :P

Bretonnia WiP

Danny traded me some Space Wolf Bitz in exchange for painting some of his knights. Here's the first of 5:

Painted Kommander Strakhov

One of my favorite Khadoran warcasters, Kommander Strakhov joins the ranks of fully painted models. I really like his model. He painted up really easily as well, seeing that he's one of the later models by Privateer.

Painted Koldun Kommander Zerkova

The first of my Khadoran warcasters to be painted, Koldun Kommander Zerkova was picked to figure out the scheme for my Khadorans. She's a pretty easy model to paint and she took about 1.5 hours to crank out. She ended up looking a little too innocent in the face for such a wicked bitch of a woman. She knows her goals and what she needs to do to get them. She's also not afraid to break a few necks to do it.

Painted Belphagor (with updated Bethayne pics)

Finally got around to finishing the other half of Bethayne's soul, Belphagor. Very interesting beast, not that many colors needed to paint him, but a surprising amount of detail. My favorite part is the different inserts into his chest. The open one is ok, but the one with Bethayne in it is freaking sweet! I really like the part where you can see Bethayne's chest piece through the claws. Let's you know she's really inside (besides seeing her legs and arms hanging out...).

Painted Bethayne

Another day, another warlock. This time I've finished Bethayne. Tonight/tomorrow is finishing Belphagor and associated bits.

My apologies for the crappy photos.

Painted Rask

Rask is a pretty cool model. So many paint schemes can be applied to him that make him look awesome. You can easily find skins of Murlocs from World of Warcraft to place onto him and he'd look great. I went for something very similar to the base scheme from Privateer Press. Took only 2ish hours to paint, pretty happy to have him done.

At this point, I'm 75% of the way done with the Minion warlocks. I have Strum & Drang and Midas left to do for warlocks. I still have Lug and Skarath to paint for the Lesser Warlocks, but I'm not worrying about them until after Adepticon.

My plan for Rask's theme force is to paint two units in his scheme, one unit in the default Privateer Press scheme, and a fourth unit in a different scheme I don't have yet. The two units in Rask's scheme will be his personal enforcers and they'll ambush more often than not. The unit in Privateer's scheme will be Rask's bodyguards, the Bog Trogs he doesn't trust. They get the benefit of dying for Rask. The fourth is really up for debate on how it plays, but should be fun. That is, if I can finish the first unit...

Painted Calaban, The Grave Walker

As per my usual lately, finished another Minion warlock, this time it being Calaban. I was a little afraid of this model due to the checkerboard on the mask, but that turned out to be pretty easy as the details were there. For a simple model, he has a ton of colors and a lot to paint on him. Very impressed with him.

Painted Dr. Arkadius

Here's the mad doctor himself. I'm happy with how sinister the model came out. I really want to play Minions now, specifically Farrow.

Painted Lord Carver, BMMD, Esq. III

Finished my second Minions warlock, Lord Carver. I'm pretty impressed by how regal he came out.

Sunday, February 17, 2013

Painted Brun Cragback

Finished with the lesser warlocks now. Just have to finish their warbeasts (after Adepticon).

Painted Dahlia Hallyr

Working on the Minion solo warlocks, finished Dahlia Hallyr. I've never really played with her in game, but when I switch back to Retribution, I'd start playing her and Skarath as a flanking force. She's got some pretty good abilities that really get overshadowed and I'd like to see how they work with Garryth.

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.
