Piggies!

I have some piggies.

Short story: Really really wanted to paint up the Warpig and Lord Carver. Nothing else overly appealed to me, but I picked up an army to justify using them :) I have played probably 3 games and just can't quite bring myself to paint anything else at this point :)

Enjoy!

Slow Grow Beasties and Infantry/Solos

Well, can't fit in all the images on one post :P (btw: click on the images to make them bigger)

Pureblood: Not quite happy with him. I just didn't get the blending done the way that I really wanted it done. He looks OK, but I could be happier.

Woldwatcher:
Blackclad: Love this guys' cape. It is one of the most dynamic things I have seen in any model, ever.Wolves of Orboros: I have six of these guys painted now, but will be doing 10 + the UA for the 50pt.
There are also some shifting stones in the 25pt, but really, they just look like stones, so they don't make it in :P I have a painted Baldur, too, but I might drop him up another time.

Toodles!

Slow Grow League!

I"m running a slow-grow league around the newcastle game scene at the moment and figured this was an opportune time to start painting up my new Circle stuff. I picked up Circle recently in order to prepare for the new Hordes Battle-Engines,so it worked out really well for me.

At the moment, I have everything painted for our 25pt level bar an Argus.

Caster: Cassius

Wolf Lord Morraig (This guy has earned his points over so well after laying 17pts of damage on the Butcher before retreating and having Big B spend the rest of hte game chasing him through the forest:) )

Nemo 2010

Yeah, I know. I suck. After making a grandiose claim that I would be posting more often as a new year resolution, I actually post less. I blame internet fail for this, but I suppose I can blame all I like :)

I figure I may as well kick things off with the Old Man of Cygnar. I have always been a bigger fan of Nemos fluff than I have of the old man himself. Then they released the 2010 sculpt and it said "WIN" all around. This is perhaps the nicest sculpt of any model I have ever seen. I love him and he loves me :)

If I actually have any readers, you've probably noted that I am a fan of the traditional paint schemes. I don't know why, I just like them. I have done a few of my own, and they do work where they come up, but blue Cygnar and red Khador just work! Nemo2010 is very much just a classic color scheme, but I'm very happy with how I pulled it off. I particularly like his eyebrows :)

Oh, as a side note, I am no longer using photobucket as a hosting service either. I'm too stingy to upgrade to a "pro" account, just so it will host a 600x800 image without resizing it and compressing the hell out of it. My photos should look a lot better now for being non-photobucketed.

Cheers!

Nathan.

A New Year and a New Resolution

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.
