I don't get much time to paint, but I figured I'd show off my various in progress figs when I have a chance.

Currently Working on:
-Junker Valkyrs & Exemplar
-Civitan Warband
-Jacques of Martinique
-Tajir Serai
-Miasma Themed EFT Party


Today's upload is up the very much in progress Junker Valkyrs and their Exemplar. Originally the two Valkyr in the rear were just going to be a couple of regular Federwerk ones for my personal Vandalands army, but when I got a big bag of miscast/broken Valkyr bits I got the idea for a Junker's guild of Vandals. Gerbils who search battlefields for remnants of Valkyr (or raid factories) and rebuild them into working suits. These guys will be a Mercs Doc Only unit, and will not have the same rules/stats as a regular Valkyr.

MOAR.
I'll MOTIVATE you from time to time to post in this.

Nice one Cyp! This'll be really fun to keep an eye on.

Took a trip down to Orlando today to restock on resin & mold material, so no real painting time. Did prime a few more figures though, so here those are, along with the in progress Civitas.

Is that the ballista on base in the middle? I also think i can see a sheep... My eyes are definitely playing tricks on me.

It's the Valkyr's crossbow.

I can also see the sheep.

Sheep? you mean the Earth Troll standing behind the mouse lancer?

It's hat is missing?

Nope, the Earth Troll is a solid piece of resin

Edit: In case anyone is wondering, the things on her desk are the following:
Valkyr(s)
Tajir
Jaques
Earth Troll
Mouse Lancer(s)
Mouse Conscript(s)
Ballista
and what I believe is the Gunsmith from EFT

Bloody Endless nonsense!

So that is the Ballista on the big base?

Ballista do go on 50mm bases in the rules...

Nice one! It looks a good size next to the miniatures.

The 'sheep' is a variant earth troll. The awkward posing of it makes casting it an issue, Em fixed up a miscast. Not good enough to sell, but good enough to paint up for ourselves.

We'll be trying to make a new mold of it at a later date.

Short painting break, working on Tajir.

Pink skin works very well on that mini . Very nice thus far!

Very nice, it's a really nice little mini too!

Casting/packing/shipping Endless has cut quite a bit into my painting time, but I did have a bit of time to work on a Luca conversion, and I assembled a miscast Dragoon & Summoner.

What are you planning to change on the Luca Valkyr?

Whiteroo, look at the left arm on the Valkyr... See how instead of a crossbow it has a Panzardi Special? (i.e. the chaingun).

Oh... How didn't I see that...

Aye, its a very simple conversion atm. So far i've just chopped off the left forearm of the valkyr and the last 10% of the chaingun bit and then attached them. Both parts are about the same diameter so it goes together nicely. I'll be adding some more bits to it (ammo box/feed) to make it look a little more spiffy before painting.

Likely when we do her official model it will be an upgrade kit like the special warjacks that PP does, with a new left arm and the pilot model.

Me personally? I would have preferred something like this:


I think the image of a Valkyr holding a chaingun ala Rocinante/Terminator w/Assault Cannon is awesome

"Sir, this mech is not strong enough to hold that cannon."
"Chain it to it's arm then!"

Actually if you look at it... It's more like...

"This cannon has some serious kick, chain it to its arm so that the jack doesn't drop it after it fires."

There is absolutely nothing that can go wrong with that plan...



There will be a Warmachine PC game later this year, so we can see what happens when that thing fires.

If he's in the game... I doubt they'll put everything in the game...

First Gecko Rider to come out of the pot! A little shiney/sticky and the rifle strap broke, but no other issues.

Now to cast up a bunch more of them for the folks who have been clamoring for them.

Tajir looks great, and that gecko rider looks awesome! It makes me sad I missed the Scyzantium kickstarter. Though at the time I don't know if I would have been ready to go in on it then. These are now both on my long list of figures to pick up eventually.

btw - What is that little creature next to the turtle? It looks vaguely like the thing pictured behind the summoner in the EFT artwork.

That is a Minor Demonite.

I call it a penguin demon
