I really like your Menoth force. The original colors used for accents make them seem like your army, while with the cream you keep them linked to the studio/ fluff armies.

Those haradrim look also nice. I have one horse archer waiting somewhere to get some paint on. I may have to get him under work now to give me a break in the painting of Stryker force.


Thanks, but the pace is from summer lovin'. Now work starts and the fun ends.

I took a comparison shot earlier today of the Bronzeback and an Imperial Guardsman.

I would NOT want to be the guy on the left.

Just remember: PP models are all metal = expensive. Maybe you could use it
for some kind of Chaos artillery piece or something? I don't know.

The Skorne Titans are nice. I bought the starter just for the gladiator included there even though I knew that I have no time to paint it in near future.

It is still sitting unpainted after two years :(

It's slow now. No painting at night and less painting on weekends. Darragh Wrathe and
the Soul Hunters, I think, were the last models from July as I spent much of August
doing a mix of working, gaming, and socializing.

Remember to click the close up pictures before you say that.

And you totally have to paint some kind of armored bear before you do your Claws of

for shame.

I mean ... I like the alternate paint scheme. I actually really like it. This would be as opposed to my own anal 'scumbag' technique of not actually painting anything.

Yeah, I'm probably going to put together that 350 point army I suggested down in
the Warmachine Hordes forum. My friends are playing 350 point games, so it would actually
get used.

Bloat Thrall! Still haven't used him in a game.

The Reavers are done. It's just two angles of the same unit. I haven't decided if I like
them with bows yet. They're always up against Fast cavalry that can outshoot them or
out melee them. I took the option of having both spear and bow in last game and
couldn't come up with 20 points for somewhere else in the army to use if I dropped one
or the other so I stuck to it. They killed maybe two models in my first High Elf game?

Going to update the thread with my pics, both wip and complete. It's going to take a bit
of time.

I use both Standard bearers for Spearmen and Archers. The Spearman standard bearer
just looks goofy (it's the type with a spear with the banner glued on).

More completed stuff. These images are from last month, I think.

No clue when I'll be able to use eSkarre. Been looking forward to trying her out since at least
Superiority. The Steam Buddha is from Armorcast.

What varnish (if any) are you using Malfred?
The models seem very glossy.

What do you use the steel buddha for?

I like the gloss

It's Minwax Polycrylic Satin finish.

I haven't used the buddha for anything yet. So far it's a neat paperweight/terrain
piece.

Dammit malfred, you're reminding me that I'm seriously behind on my High Elves.

The Standard Bearers look pretty ace.

Thanks.

Like I said, I hate the Spearmen with a flag attached to spearpoint standard
bearers. I'll probably get more archer kits in the far future to have more
kneelers and standards for the rest of my army.

This is the beginnings of my Cygnar army. I finished painting these models just
last month. I intend to get the UA, Black 13th, and something else. I have no idea what.

I do have some Trenchers a Grenadier and Siege Brisbane, but they're not very
interesting to me.

I can relate to that, I have couple of trenchers still unpainted on my desk and they were among the first cygnar figs I bought.

The gun mages on the other hand look fine.
