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.

Kraken Preview

As Cryx is my main faction, seeing the model for the Kraken at Adepticon was a pleasure! I really liked the way it looked in person and I just can't wait to see how it will perform on the table. I really want to play one with Skarre2 and the Witch Coven.

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!

Scarsfell Griffon and Gatorman Witch Doctor Preview

So it has been awhile since my last post. My apologies for that. Life has been busy since Adepticon and it won't slow down until June! Just crazy busy with weddings, baptisms, and work. I'll keep up with the new previews, however!

Painted Soulhunter, the Test Model

I'm currently working on a group of Soulhunters for a tournament in 2 weeks. I'm still trying to be fully painted at all events I go to (that are reasonable, expecting 5 lists is not reasonable). I think the model is 90% done. All the base colors are on, but it is missing something. Devlan Mud has been suggested, but I'm not sure if it goes on the entire model or just the flesh, bone, and muscles. I've also been suggested to use a brown/blue wash on the muscles (red) to make them look bruised. Any other suggestions?

Boom! Goes the Dynamite!

Boom! Rorsh has entered the scene! Carrying his gun and his dynamite, he is a force to be reckoned with on the table. I'm very excited to have the pair painted and ready to go for the next event! This Tuesday will be great to get them played!

Bacon Incoming! Painted Brine

Trying to finish my Terminus list up for May, I needed to get Rorsh and Brine painted. I've rarely played them, but they hit pretty hard and provide a double handed throw in a list that wants to camp focus. The lesser warlocks all do great in Warmachine armies because their fury mechanic allows a lot of brute force in a list that may not have it with the focus mechanic. I'll have some battle reports next week with these guys!

He still needs a dip, but that will occur when Rorsh is done too.

Painted Extreme Feral Warpwolf

My friend Scott painted this Extreme Feral Warpwolf in payment for my Extreme Titan Gladiator I gave to him a few years ago. I'm very happy with the paint job and look forward to trying to emulate it on all of my Warpwolves.

Terrain for Adepticon, Part 3

Here's some pictures of the buildings and fountain, after some progression. Some of the buildings still need a bit of work, but they are all really close to finished.

Madison 6 Pack Event 3 - Rounds 2 and 3

Continuing my battle reports from Round 1, I got to play against Zack and his Trollbloods next for Game 2.

Reckoner Chassis and Winter Argus Preview

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

Succubus Preview

Among all the Khador previews yesterday, Privateer gave us something Legion has been waiting for since Domination came out, the Succubus.

Vladimir the Great Prince Preview

Privateer Press has been very gracious to the Khadoran folks today! Vlad3 is previewed!

Conquest Preview

Privateer Press has been giving us a lot of Colossals recently with the Kraken yesterday and now Conquest today. Here's the model.

Kraken Video Preview

Privateer Press released a Video Insider of the Kraken, check it out!

Madison 6 Pack Event 3 - Round 1

On Saturday, April 7th, the PGs from Madison, WI ran the 3rd of 6 linked tournaments. This tournament was a Highlander 35 point event at Misty Mountain. If you aren't aware, the basic Highlander rules are this: you can have 1 unit (with attachments), 1 solo, and as many warjacks/warbeasts as you can fit in your list, with the caveat that you cannot duplicate warjacks or warbeasts. This leads to some very interesting list builds and some warcasters/warlocks you wouldn't normally see in a Mangled Metal/Tooth and Claw event. The scenario all day was Close Quarters.

Painted Satyxis Raider Captain

This Saturday is a Highlander event in Madison. I needed to finish a Satyxis Raider Captain to finish a couple lists so I can play fully painted at events still. She got done tonight for that reason. She's also going to be my Paint the Target model for Lost Hemisphere (more information at http://losthemisphere.com/blog/?p=20189). I'm glad she's done early as I need more time for Adepticon.

Terrain for Adepticon, Part 2

I've been slowly working on my terrain for Adepticon. I only have 17 days left, so I really need to get moving. Here's the last progress I made. I finished the buildings core structure. We've begun painting but I forgot to take pictures, like usual. I should have more photos and an update late Tuesday night.

Painted Icarus

Since G Konkel joined, I've wanted to really get painting my Covenant of Antartica fleet. I finally got the opportunity and cranked out my first Icarus model. I really like the rules of this model as it is a powerhouse on the table and groups of 3 of them kill things dead. You can't really ask for something better than a shielded gunship that's pretty cheap on the table!

Painted Necrosurgeon and Stitch Thralls

One my painting journey to Adepticon (only 23 days left, holy crap it is coming up fast!) I've finished my second Necrosurgeon and Stitch Thralls unit for Cryx. They form a pivotal position in the reuse, recycle, reanimate chain for Cryx and I'm glad to have them painted to make more Mechanithralls.

New Asphyxious the Hellbringer Artwork

We knew Lich Lord Asphyxious was changing to another version in Colossals. I had guessed that Daemortus would change into something else, but I didn't think it would be a sword! His shoulderpads also really changed shape and he looks much bigger than his previous incarnations (he might be Scaverous' size now).

I'm really excited to see more from him because Asphyxious was the reason I began playing Warmachine. He's the reason I continue to play. I can't wait for this model.

Painted Machine Wraiths

I've recently finished both of the remaining Machine Wraiths for my Cryx army. For 1 point each, they make great scenario models to screw with my opponents! They were much faster to paint than I expected and I'm pretty happy with how they turned out.

My Machine Wraiths are now green, purple, and grey to tell them apart on the table. The purple is probably my favorite due to how well the purple looks on the model.

Animantarax Preview

Privateer Press has given us the final battle engine from Domination, the Skorne Animantarax. This thing fills the base. It is really wide and looks to be pretty tall. They did a really decent job on the armor of the monster. The details on the model are really neat but I don't think it looks all that agile of a monster to swing that tail around fast.

I just wish the rules were a little better for it so that it didn't feel so unfocused.

Painted Corruptor

Iron Lich Asphyxious' Theme Force is so far the only reason I've had to field one of these. I'm normally not a ranged player (and if I do play ranged, it is with a Leviathan or a different faction!) so this helljack is just foreign to me. I'm still trying to figure out the best way to use its gun. I've only got 2 or 3 games with it so I've still got a long way to go with it.

I think it has really only shot two or three times total. It'll need to fire more than that in a game to really become useful...

Painted Malice

I've finished the last character warjack for Cryx last night. He was pretty fun to paint and has a lot of character in that face.

I normally use him in my Skarre, Queen of the Broken Coast lists because he can boost after the dice rolls to get better harpoon shots. I can't wait to field a fully painted Skarre list (only one model to go, a Satyxis Raider Captain).
