G'day all,
So its a new year and guess what? I still am having very little time to update this blog :( I know its not much of an excuse, but between work, baby and crappy internet connection (think: dial-up speed) I just haven't had a lot of time. I do, however, have a resolution to update more often! Lets see if I can manage it...
To start the year off, head over to a working blog I have towards the Australian January Conventions (CanCon, ArcanaCon and DogCon) over on WargamerAu. It is now a completely painted Tier4 eHaley army, with trench warfare table. There is a storm cover over now, so I kinda need to get off the computer, but hopefully I'll manage to update here with all the images when I get a chance.
Here's the link: Road to War

Fane Knight Skeryth Issyen
Sorry its taken so long to get this one up. Between the baby and a whole bunch of really average shifts at work, I just haven't had a lot of time :(
Continuing on the Retribution theme, we have the mighty Fane Knight. In game terms, he is awesome. Assuming something dies to your enemy (and they probably will) you have a MAT 8, P+S 17 weaponmaster, swordmaster with tall in the saddle and a massive charge range. Put him in your army!
I used the whole metallic painting thing outlined in the Discordia post earlier. The result was something I was quite happy with. I affectionately refer to him as my "peacock".
Anyway, until next time!

Discordia
I got on to the elves at release. I wasn't too fussed on the look of the myrmidons, but the units really were gorgeous.
Most recently, I managed to grab myself one of the Discordia character 'jack kits that were on sale over GenCon (as well as Triumph and Scourge of Heresy). I've been playing around with color schemes a bit with my RoS force. I was never a fan of the white, but I had started off with a lot more purple than I do now. I am quite liking the single shoulderpad in color though, with the rest of the model in the turquise metal. I think it has grown on me as a nice, simple yet effective scheme and I can see me sticking with it for a bit. Skeryth Issyen is also the same and he turned out well. I'll get some photos of him up next time.

Drakhun!
So I appear to be in a bit of a Khador painting thing at the moment....
Just had to get the Drakhun done. The red-ink method as outlined in the Khador Forces book is a bit of a time consuming thing to do, but it really is worth it. The 20-odd coats really do make the whole red just appear so much more vibrant and dark. I've decided I really am a fan of the look :)
Picked up all the plastic battleboxes this last week, as well. They are really nice and I thoroughly recommend them to anyone who may be interested. The detail on the casters in particular really is indistinguishable from the metals.
On another note, both my Khador Extremes are up on eBay, if'n you were interested.

eHaley
G'day all,
Sorry I haven't posted anything in a while. Its been a tad rough with juggling the new baby and all the rest of it.
I have been working hard on all four of my current factions (Cygnar, Retribution, Khador and Mercs), and I've been having fun picking out the "best" models to paint up and all :) I've just put the finishing touches on a Drakhun, and he was great to do up. I'll grab some pics of him when I have a chance.
Speaking of good models, I'm going to have to grab another faction, and go with the angry Voodoo Crocs that look to be coming out soon. Those guys look awesome! :)
For now, here is eHaley. I'll get some of my Trenchers and her army up over the coming weeks.
Cheers!
Nathan.

Butcher 2010
The mighty Butcher of Khador.
So I started owning a Khador faction when I started seeing the extreme Juggernaughts and the only real warcaster they have worthy of running an extreme Juggernaught is the new Butcher sculpt! (or at least it seemed that way).
Only painted him up recently, but pretty happy with the turnout. I've started spending alot more time on faces, and I believe the result is showing through.

Destroyer Extreme
So I finally got around to finishing off the companion 'jack to my Juggernaught. All in all, I think the Destroyer actually came together a bit easier than the Juggie.
After a good deal of effort and time, I'm finally really happy with how my reds came together. I think the final count was 30-odd coats of watered down red ink to make all the purples and peaches come back to red. It shows, though , and I like it alot.
He doesn't get as much table time as my Juggie, just because he's not quite as versatile, but he does have pride of place on my painting shelves :)
