All you have to do is get a bit of fine sand (however fine you want really) and mix it in the paint really good. Just add a bit at first and try it out, then add more as needed. It works really well. I used it on my terrain board (although I used a house paint brush for that ).

What a FINE idea!

The High Elves have a nice clean color scheme but could use some good shading. I suggest either DiDi's Magic Sauce, Wonder Wash inks, Army Painter Quick Shade, or the new GW washes. All of which would give you great looking results depending on what your preference for shading is. Same goes for the Circle and skorne minis. they look great but could use some shading and a finish highlight.

Thanks. How would you characterize the difference between Quick Shade/Magic Sauce vs.
what I do using Vallejo inks?

Trencher Officer and Sharpshooter.

It amuses me that Trenchers don't get a Standard Bearer since they're supposed
to be all nitty gritty. Too bad they didn't have something like a Super Shoveler as opposed
to a sniper.

Nice blue.

And henceforth, he shall be known as "Magical Malfred."

Only in thy dreams, young squire.

Remember that I put shiny varnish so the highest highlights I think are turning out to
be flare.

**malfred**

Yups. A Sentinel.

Can anyone guess what my initial JEremiah Kraye list will be?

**Hordini**

Stop posting Warjacks. Just stop.

You do know they sell this stuff in Munich too, right?

My wallet cries out in anguish. It's not safe no matter where I go.

Der zauberische Malfred

**malfred**

Yeah, but I botched this job.

Anyway, they're only really useful with Jeremiah Kraye. So you'd
have to pick him up, too.

**Hordini**

The dude with the sad horse?

Why aren't they useful with any other casters?

Mostly cause the Trencher Chaingun does the same thing for cheaper.

**CorporateLogo**

The Trencher Chaingun is a terrible chioce no matter whose the caster is.

10" range, no move and shoot, no aim bonus, and all your opponent has to do to dick it over is to move infantry units into skirmish formation? No thanks.

Also because they made the Jeremiah Kraye rules a nice fit for warjacks like the
Charger and the Sentinel.

**Metsuri**

Well snipe adds to the value of the sentinel, so also pStryker and Haley get to play. And if you add Strangewayes to the mix, other warcasters can enjoy some chaingun madness.

The trencher chain gun on the other hand is useless, as the range and immobility really hose for other that area denial purposes.

True enough, but usually you can give snipe to something more fun

I think I'd rather have Iron Horse.

**malfred**

I'm debating whether or not to bring Jeremiah Kraye to my weekly game. In order to run him,
though, I'll have to use unpainted models (oh noez!)

Edit: Grenadier warjack

**jamunition**

I really like these things.

Are they called Warjack or something?

I might start an army

**oomiestompa**

The game is called Warmachine. There's a forum here on Dakka for it.

Anyway, nice work Malf! I'm sure I'll see these in person some time soon.

Warjacks are in Warmachine. Trouble is you won't see too many of them unless someone
is selecting a particular faction or warcaster (commanders in Warmachine) who syncs
with them well. In this instance, I'm using them for Jeremiah Kraye, a cavalry warcaster. His
rules complement multiple light warjacks and I have plans to paint a heavy for them.

**malfred**

Jeremiah Kraye is also done at last. All I have left to do for a basic 500 point Warmachine
army is buy and paint the Squire and paint a Centurion (already primed, but not on the
paint queue till next month).

**Metsuri**

Kraye looks good! The stone on the base is nice with the staining and lifts focus from the base to the horse and rider. Nice work overall.

I'll have to pick one up myself, the fig is gorgeous and not too shabby on the tabletop either I've heard.

Thanks. The rules are very nice and go with my chosen warjacks. Though if I recall correctly,
I picked the warjacks based on Kraye's rules rather than the other way around.

**jamunition**

Woot more horses.

And the blue isnt bad either.

In the fact that it is bright but has the shaded cresevis.

**Platuan4th**

Malf, I haven't seen his rules yet, so how would he do in a Trencher heavy army using mostly Grenadiers and a few other light jacks?

I'm afraid of heavy armor, see through smoke, and command effects ruining such an
army. That's why my list has both a Grenadier and a Centurion. I generally don't play
spam armies unless there's a very good reason.

Yeah, when I run Trencher Spam(now with 100% more Cannon), I always make sure Jr. or my main caster brings a Hunter buddy along for the ride, just in case of serious heavy armor.

Of course, in every game I'm one of those weird fluffy/play what I like the looks of people.

**Sha1emade**

Beautiful stuff! Love the guy on the horse. Great detail! Love bouncing back to this thread, always has cool new things added. Keep it up.

**malfred**

High Elf Eagle when I finished it.

Same here. Mostly.

Heck, I started Khador for Fenris and the Butcher alone.

**jamunition**

Loving it

Looks really realistic.

**malfred**

Almost caught up with my painted models.

Here are the Phoenix Guard.
