You should totally do it.

My only hang up is which caster to use for it. I've got eHaley so far along with 10 Trenchers that are dual purposed for my Magnus army and Finn.

I think if you're playing Loyalist, Siege is the guy who would fight for whichever team
was in charge. Most of the rest are Leto's men.

The Cygnar is looking good, mal.

Thanks. There should be posts of the finished stuff soon. Until then, enjoy these armorcast
pieces.

**Dysartes**

What's the one on the left of the picture meant to be, mal?

Dysartes wrote:What's the one on the left of the picture meant to be, mal?

Both pieces are made by armorcast.

The one on the left is a decorative base. It's supposed to represent broken concrete.

And below is more of their terrain pieces.

**malfred**

More Armorcast objectives

**malfred**

I was up trying to get the objective markers done in time for an event. I only got
as far as the Wash.

Nice Harlequins, malfred.

Thanks. I like the colors so much I'm torn about starting another unit (most likely in
2011). They already have basing, so it's not like I can base them differently, and I'm
not quite sure how much different colored sashes will come off. Maybe I can do it in
a pale green or something.

Below you'll find The Judge.

Although I hear Death Jesters aren't so hot in the game these days, they're still some of my favorite models.

**Dysartes**

Hmm - for some reason that Death Jester is making me think he's a Necron in a trenchcoat, malfred

Not my sculpt

I finally googled this model's name. It's Romeo Exxet.

This batch has the unit leader with his special weapon thing.

**Dysartes**

In Mk1 it was called a Storm Rod - I'd need to check FoW: Cygnar to see if it is still special.

You truly are a painting machine, malfred. I'm hoping to get my Avalancher mostly finished tonight, and get Basher #2 assembled & primed. Fortunately, the Avalancher is mostly down to doing the gold and some detail work.

It's still special, I just don't remember if it had a different name. Basically the unit
hits harder and can shoot further if they're within x inches of him. I don't remember
what all it did in Mk1.

Meh, I'm not a machine. I cheat this a bit by taking a bunch of pictures as I go and
stretching it out in blog posts. It's the only sane way to do it.

Piece 118, 119

The basing is different because I based the unit attachment before I figured out
that I wanted to do different basing for repeat units.

This Stormblade army is all eStryker's fault, after all. Without the theme force I doubt
I'd be half as interested.

**Dysartes**

Blaming it all on eStryker, malfred? That's just shocking.....

Do you have any other the other Storm units?

**malfred**

I have a full unit of Stormblades with UA that I painted last year. On my shelf I have
a Stormguard unit and a unit of cavalry with Katherine Laddermore.

So now 'm back to posting pictures of terrain pieces. These are armorcast pieces put
onto 50mm bases for the Warmachine Destruction scenario.

The broken columns are neat pieces. They're a little bigger than the 50mm base, but that's
fine because I like them. The other piece is a display base for pieces that's supposed to
look like your model is standing on a roman aqueduct or something (I guess).

Filthy Brown base on the columns with a Brown Ink wash from Vallejo, then highlighted up
to Bleached Bone.

I was lazy with the stone plinth and just used it to test out Terracotta paint color from Vallejo.

Pieces 126-132
Non-terrain Pieces completed so far: 59

These either came from the same armorcast sets or two different ones. They're terrain pieces for a
graveyard of some sort.

**malfred**

Pieces 133
Non-terrain Pieces completed so far: 59

The "broken concrete" display base from Armorcast being put to service as an objective marker.

**malfred**

Pieces 134
Non-terrain Pieces completed so far: 59

This is one of my favorite Armorcast pieces so far, the bone tower. There were some
mold problems with it, most noticeably there are places I probably should have sanded
the piece down, but otherwise the chains and ropes holding the pile of bones together
add a lot of character to this piece.

**malfred**

After the Armorcast markers, I set out to work on new Menoth stuff.

**malfred**

In addition, this batch will have a Black Templar Chaplain.

**malfred**

Some random models.

**Dysartes**

Where are those last two from, malfred?
