Flesh tearers and Cryx

Today we celebrate Christmas in Sweden, and this will be my last post for a few days. Next week I´m moving to a new apartment and I don´t know when I will get my internet connection working again. Untill I´m all settled in in my new place and got my internet connection to work I´ll show you some WIP´s on what I will be doning (hopefully) during this week or two.
First is my Flesh tearers scouts who will be ready intill New years eve, they will be entering a ladder challange over at the Wamp forum.

Apart from that some more Cryx will be done, first out is a Deathripper and a Slayer.

 Untill next time, happy painting and a merry X-mas and a happy new year!

Deneghra WIP

Yesterday I started to paint the Warcaster for my Cryx, Deneghra. Since I already hade based and primed her it was straight to buisness with the painting. I wanted to her to have a the "Cryxian green" feeling on the clothes, so I started with a black base and then added green, and later on Stone grey (VMC) to the mix to get it a bit colder. I will probably do some more work on the robe when I see how the skin and armour turns out.

The spear just got some black and Boltgun metal (GW) on the top. I will add som washes and highligt later on. I gave the armout thre coats of wash, started with Black shade (VMC), followed by Gyrophone sepia (GW) and then an really old ink from GW, purple (it´s from the early -90´s).
Anyway, a WIP and hopefully I will be able to get this mini done by tonight.

Untill next time, happy painting!

Scrap thrall

A few days ago I based and primed a Scrap thrall for my Cryx army (that´s Warmachine), and after about 3 hours of painting, this is the result. The mini should be used for gaming and for that purpuse I think it looks pretty good.
There are two thing left.
One, I will
Uadd some water effect on the base, and for that I will use Still water from vallejo.
Two, I will add some front arc markings on the base, not sure what colour yet, but probably grey or green. I would use grey because of the armour in my Cryx army or green because it´Cryx;)
Still, this is pretty much how it will look on the gaming table.

Untill next time, happy painting!

Cryx: Mechanithralls wip

Just a quick WIPshoot from my desk. I work on two Mechanithralls among other things. I have almost compleated the shadowing on these bastards. Now it´s time to start work the highlights!

I´m also working on my Slayer, a Nightwretcher and a Necrotech. So more to come in a few days.
Untill next time, happy painting!

On tonight´s desk

There wasn´t much paint on my brushes tonight. I thought I should show you what I´m currently working on. It´s a Bad moon meganob for my Orks, a Necrotech, a Slayer and a burried marker (for the Helldiver) for my Cryx. Tonight was mostly about priming the models, and started on the base for the Necrotech and the Slayer. I also started to do the first layers of metal and yellow on the Meganob. Hopfully I will have something more intresting to show in a day or two.

Untill next time, happy painting!

Played my first game of Warmachine tonight

I played my first game of Warmachine tonight. I was using my Cryx against Cygnar. Since it was my first game of Warmachine we decided to play using a 15pts list. This is what I put on the table:

Warwitch Deneghra
1 Slayer
1 Deathripper
1 Nightwretcher
1 Helldiver
1 Stalker
1 Necrotech and Scrapthrall

The game itself turned out to be a lot of fun, it was rather easy to get the way the turns worked out and get an idea about the basics. But I guess it takes many, many battles to master the game. Of course my Cryx got beaten up, but who cares when the game turned out to be a real challage!
And who on earth will I fiund motivation to finish my Orks now? Maybe they are for sale...if you are intrested, drop me a mail with an offer and i might just take it.
Untill next time, happy painting( and wargaming)!

Project Cryx!

A while ago I decided that I should start playing Warmachine, and the choice fell on Cryx since I really liked the models. Good looking models is the first step an army has to make before I start playing with them. Beeing mor of a collector then a gamer, the apperance is important to me.It doesn´t matter if I win or loose a battle as long as I got the chanse to paint the models. Anyway, enough of this.
This is what i got for my Cryx so far...
Warwitch Deneghra
1 Slayer
1 Nightwretch
1 Deathripper (actually two, but failing several attempts to remove paint from these minis made me realise that I was beaten by the thick-layer paint god)
2 Stalkers
1 Helldiver (already painted)
1 Necrotech
6 Mechanithralls

I have already started to paint one Mechanithrall, and as soon as that mini is done I will do the other five. This is the begining of my Cryx era. We will se how fast i will paint them, but my goal is that they should be ready in a month or two.

Untill next time, happy painting!

Cryx Helldiver

Now I think my Cryx Helldiver is ready to hit some battles! hope you will like it!

Untill next time, happy painting!

Some WIP´s

I thought that i will give you some WIP´s on a Helldiver I´m doing right now for my Cryx. Please feel free to give me some pointers on how to improve.

Until next time, happy painting!
