Angel Eyes

Angel Eyes is a great model with a unique ability: shooting into melee without randomizing. The model also has a zero action shooting attack. Added to this movment triggers and other benifits, its a potent henchman.

 The model was primed white and washed with black wash. The skin was then painted with Khador Red base, drybrushed with Midlund Flesh and lightly drybrushed with Ryn Flesh. The under outfit was painted with Umbral Umber, drybrushed with Bootsrap Leather and lightly drybrushed with Rucksack Tan. The boots were painted with Coal black and lightly drybrushed with 50/50 Coal Black and Menoth White Highlight.

The cloak was painted with Gnarls Green, drybrushed with Ordic Olive and lighly drybrushed with 50/50 Ordic Olive and Menoth White Highlight. The metal parts were painted with Pig Iron. The wood parts were painted with Bloodstone. The details and eyepeice were toched up with Molten Bronze.

Scion of the Black Blood

The Scion is a tough melee model with a shotgun attack that can affect models near the target. His black blood and movment triggers are also handy as well as the ability for nearbymodels to make interact actions.

The model was primed white and washed with black wash. The skin was then painted with Khador Red base, drybrushed with Midlund Flesh and lightly drybrushed with Ryn Flesh. Pants were Bloodtracker brown with a drybrush of Gun Corps Brown.

The boots, bracers and wood on the shotgun were painted with Umbral Umber, and drybrushed with Bootstrap Leather and lightly drybrushed with Rucksack Tan. The metal parts were painted with Pig Iron. The horns were painted with Coal Black. The purple tatoos were painted with an artists ink pen. The whole model was then washed with Agrax Earthshade.

Blood Wretches

The two player starter box comes with two gangs of four models each. One is Neverborn and one is Guild. I decided to put paint up my Neverborn gang to add to my Nekima gang I’m using in the Shifting Loyalties campaign. What is also nice about the models in the two player starter is that they are all mercenaries so you can use them in any faction, with an extra soulstone.

The model was primed white and washed with black wash. The skin was then painted with Khador Red base, drybrushed with Midlund Flesh and lightly drybrushed with Ryn Flesh. One fellows pants were painted with Exile Blue, drybrushed with Cygnar Base Blue and lightly drybrushed with Underbelly Blue. The other fellow's pants were painted with Umbral Umber, drybrushed Bloodtracker Brown and lightly drybrushed with Gun Corps Brown.

The fellow on the left's shirt was painted with Ordic Olive and drybrushed with a 50/50 mix of Ordic Olive and Menoth White Highlight then lightly drybrushed with Iosian Green. The other fellow had his shirt painted with Beaten Purple then lightly drybrushed with Murderous Magenta. The hair was painted with Umbral Umber and drybrushed with Bloodstone. The horns were painted with Coal Black. A little Khador Red Base for some blood and the models are done.

The base was painted with Iosian Green and drybrushed with 50/50 Iosian Green and Menoth White Highlight, in order to look like a sanitarium floor. The base molds were done with the Basius 2 Dungeon plate.

Beginnning of 2016

A new year and a new set of resolutions:

-Play boardgames I have bought but have not played yet or enough. Brass, Le Havre, Caylus, Tigris and Euphrates, Through the Ages, and A Few Acres of Snow.

-Paint and play more miniature games that I have. Malifaux, Guildball, Infinity, Firestorm Armada, Dystopian Wars...and maybe Carnivale. In that order. I want to take a break from Warmachine/Hordes.

-Make more terrain. I have lots and lots...and lots of supplies for scratchbuilding and its high time I used them.

-Spend more time at Interactivity Board Game Cafe. Its a great place to try new games and drink more delicious ice cream milkshakes.

-Sell things I do not play. Games Workshop armies, Warmachine armies, boardgames, and not very useful terrain.

Ashes and Dust

Ashes and Dust is an interesting model. If the main model (centre) is killed or sacrificed, the stationary ashen core (right) in placed next to it and the dust storm (left) is placed on a board edge. If the two rejoin, they can again form ashes and dust. These are the older resin and metal models.

 Started primed white with a Badab Black wash. Then Bloodtracker Brown everywhere with Beast Hide drybrushed on, then Rucksack Tan lightly drybrushed on and finally a 50/50 mix of Rucksack Tan and Menoth White Highlight.

For the chains and claws I used Pig Iron with Quicksilver drybrushed on.

 The eyes were painted with Wurm Green with a little dab of Necrotite Green.

 The guck were painted with Skorne Red and drybrushed with Khador Red Base. The flames were painted with Khador Red Base, drybrushed lower with Khador Red Highlight, lower still with Heartfire and finally lower with Cygnar Yellow.

 The hair was painted with either Cygnar Yellow, Bloodstone or Cryx Bane Base.

The Ashes and Dust as well as the Dust Storm basing was done with my Basius 2 plates.

Lazerus can be fantastic against weak swarm crews and can get an extra action through Vanessa. I'm really liking his healing ability too.
