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.

Stay on Target...

Painted Iron Fang Kovnik

Finally got my Iron Fang Kovnik painted up for the Journeyman League that is being run at our shop right now.

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.

My Grand Ambitions

Aaaaaahhhh... the Internet: where hopefully my motivation will live on forever. Here is just a sampling of what I aspire to accomplish in the next month.

The Great Work laid out.

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 Rhupert Carvolo

Playing a bit of Protectorate lately and I needed to provide more Tough models. The easiest way to do that was to paint Rhupert Carvolo, the Piper of Menoth, wait...Ord. :)

Painting Incubus

I finished the first three Incubi for my Legion. I now have enough painted Incubi  for my Afflictor to run around. Finishing these 3 also put me at 20% fully painted for my entire collection! It is a pretty awesome achievement.

Painted Nephilim Bolt Thrower

This model finishes off the base models for Saeryn's 50 point Theme Force. Booya! I now have all the Nephilim I own painted until the Bloodseer comes out (which I'm super excited for). I really hope the next warlock for Legion does something to bump them up or we get a Molik Karn of Nephilim as a character warbeast. Would be pretty awesome.

Painted Nephilim Protector

Working on Saeryn's Theme Force meant this guy had to get painted. He performed really well the last game I played with him. Against a non-Purification warcaster/warlock, he'll really shine with Safeguard. Really like that animus.

Painted Blighted Nyss Sorceress & Hellion

Finished the first of two Blighted Nyss Sorceress & Hellions. She did so well in my game with her on Tuesday that I figured she should get finished. That way she can rock out harder. A really good model with some nice rules in game.

Painted Warmongers

I finished the Warmongers I started many, many years ago. I want to get some theme forces done, specifically Thagrosh1's and Rhyas' second theme force. Warmongers are also my test scheme for my Warspears, which will be on the painting list soon.

These models also put more over 19% painted. That's currently 438 models. Ugh, that's a lot. I still have a lot to go, but my progress this year has been very awesome. I'm currently 51 models into my 120 model goal for the year. I think Vayl's theme forces will push me over the halfway mark, hopefully before the halfway mark of the year. I'm also 22 models away from having a fifth of my models painted. Gencon is coming up, which is pretty much guaranteed to screw the percentage up.

The Light Box

Well, I finally have a light box and some idea of how to use it. I used my wife's Nikon D40 camera, a tripod and a bunch of lights. You can see my ghetto set-up in the pictures below.  It took me all of a half hour to build, basically just a bunch of wood bracketed together.

Painted Nephilim Soldiers

My two Nephilim Soldiers have been a little more than half painted since December 2010. I decided to finally finish them off tonight. Saeryn's theme force demands it!
They looked like this back in the day: http://pokeminiatures.blogspot.com/2010/12/theme-forces-at-black-sun-games-big.html

Now they look like the following photos.

Painted Thagrosh the Messiah

I finally finished all the currently released Legion of Everblight warlocks with Thagrosh the Messiah. He's a pretty beefy monster in game and I look forward to killing a lot of things with him and his beasts. Manifest Destiny is amazing inside Legion.

Armored Sentinel

Painted Afflictor and Naga Nightlurker

Finished the two light warbeasts I plan on running for Legion. The Nightlurker has a special place in my heart because of Shadow Bind and is a pretty kickass ranged platform too! I'm really excited to try the Afflictor out, I just wanted him painted first. I now need to paint 2 Incubi ASAP for him to infect my enemies with. :)

Painted Succubus

Working my way through the Legion support solos, I've finished the Succubus. She's a good addition to a few of my lists and I can't wait to play with her in my upcoming games.

Painted Forsaken

Here's my 4th painted Forsaken, along with one of the previous ones. I'm much happier with the wings on this one and hope I can keep reproducing that for my Archangels and Afflictors.

Painted Spell Martyrs

I'm just really happy to have these three done. I'm probably going to get rid of the glow effect on the chin if it doesn't grow on me in the next few days.

Painted Blighted Nyss Shepherd

Yes, this is the same model as last night. I have two of them and they both make a majority of my lists. They needed to get painted. :) They are now. Woohoo!
