So over on the Privateer press forums someone started a Wargamers online Journal building our armies up to 25 points for an up coming Shattered Grounds league in June.
You were given the choice of playing a faction of your choice, or spinning the wheel of doom and having a random faction assigned to you. Being a gambling man i chose wheel of doom, why? Well because it's a freakin wheel of doom, duh and hola.(2 points for who gets that refrence) I ended up with Skorne(hence the title) and while i have always admired the army, i have no clue what they do or who they are. Disregarding that bit, i looked at the Privateer Press website gallery for the coolest looking Skorne models i could get(at this time). Right away i knew i wanted the Bronze back titan. This model is epic, and heavy as hell. I picked up the Skorne starter aswell as most of them are pretty good deals, then picked up 2 more Warlocks, so i could have some variety in my games, then picked up some paingivers as a support unit and a master tormentor. About 200$ later i had a tone of white metal models that needed assembly and purpose.

Next i had to decide how i wanted to base them. Previously i had made wooden bases for a friend and really liked how they turned out. I didn't want to copy it, but i did want something that was different than my usual three flocks and sand bases. Looking around on the PP forums i saw some one mention Cracked earth and decided thats what i wanted. I researched a picture on line and then printed it out, mixed up some green stuff and went to work copying it.

After the bases had dried i primed them white and washed them with devlan mud.( i figured it was fitting, as they were supposed to be dried mud) after the wash dried, it was still too light so i washed it with gryphone sephia, and finally got acolor i liked. Meanwhile i primed the figures black and after pinning them to the bases started the painting.

When i started painting(this morning(5-7-10) ) i wasnt sure how i wanted to go about it, but i did know i didn't what the studio scheme. I had painted an eldar Fire prism earlier and really liked the scheme, so looking at it for insparation i translated it to the Bronzeback titan, as it was going to be my first painted piece of the army.

The paints used so far are

Citadel Foundations Iyanden Darksun
Citadel Washes Gryphone Sephia
Vallejo Game Colors Falcon Turquoise
(more to come)

I dare say I like the blue over the red as it shows out extremely well as a contrast. Cheers mate!

You have a nice foundation on the titan, good contrast between the skin and armor.

Love the bases!

Consider the idea stolen...

Those bases are fethong AMAZING you should do mroe keep up the good work.

Thanks for the compliments, i did a little more work to the Bronzeback, but with finals in the way ive been busy. I did settle on a 15 point list at least.
Lord assassin Morghoul(played by her Pversion until my order arrives)
Bronzeback Titian
Titan gladiator(big starter guy)
and a min unit of paingivers.

Well ive done a bit more painting and now have a fully painted 15 point list with Pmorghoul.
Ive played a few games with them and i have to love the anotomical presicion! man that is nice. I ripped into both zerkova's forces, and then the undead cryx where that presiscion did nothing! damn undead. anyway pics.

Looking great. Really nice base effects. Might give that a try myself.

wow they look great!

Nice and coherent looking force. The blue and yellow create a really strong contrast and makes the models pop on the pics.

Thank you everyone for the compliments, i just picked up Molik karn, and an Agonizer, so look for them soon

So i got some new models, but I've only painted the Agonizer so far because Rockstar finally made a game i really enjoy...so yeah ill be back to it soon. Damn hunting for everything that moves in Red Dead is amazing.

The painting looks great!

As for Red Dead, AWESOME as well! I love hunting in that game. The cougars constantly killing me while I'm skinning something gets old HAHA!

Those Cougars are like a missle! my poor starting horse died to one of those devils...

Sorry to jack your thread but... I had more horse bits from skinning in the forests than I did the cougars!

35 point new list

So i got some new pics of my fully35 point Skorne force entitled:
The Terror from the east
So without further ado,

I recently painted up Rutger Shaw and Tayrn DelLarosi?

Its a shame they wont work for Skorne, but hey heres my blurry pictures.

Heads up, my Skorne won our Store league! Now with the blasted heath out of the way anyone wanna play some b-ball, its shirts versus slaves.
