I recently blitzed some unpainted Cryx models I’d been stockpiling. Cryx is a faction I’ve had for a while, but it’s always been secondary to my Khadorans (and probably in third place if you count my Legion of Everblight). So, … Continue reading
During the week Phil and I fought a 750pt game over my newly constructed battle board. The last time we played my Cryxian force got the better of his Menites, but this time I would be using my old reliable Khadorans. We rarely play 750pt games, so I took this opportunity to field eIrusk. This article provides a narrative description of the battle from Irusk’s perspective. Continue reading
One of the great things about Flames of War is that all of the scenarios are objective based, meaning that it’s not just about trying to obliterate your opponents army. Rather you are trying to seize strategically important areas of … Continue reading
I finished this guy this evening and I think he turned out well. He’s consistent in colour with the Greylord Ternion, so will compliment that unit nicely. I need to reread his rules as other than being a pretty decent … Continue reading
My Flames of War Panzer Lehr force is growing in size, so I decided to take a few minutes to take some pictures. I have loads of things to paint, but an armoured heavy mortar platoon is probably next on … Continue reading
I had a great 750 point game against Phil’s Protectorate of Menoth force recently which I’ll post photos from in the next few days. I wanted a chance to field Epic Irusk as I’ve only had a couple of opportunities … Continue reading
The Great Bears are in many ways a very typical Khadoran unit that have several of the traditional colours you might use in painting the Khador army. I painted these guys using pretty straight forward techniques, so hopefully this guide … Continue reading
Larger image on flickr.com Many people have difficulties knowing who is who in this character unit. If you have problems identifying the Great Bears – Volkov is the leader and is the miniature in the middle (with a beard); Kolsk … Continue reading
The War Dog was an ‘in between’ project for me. I always try to have at least two different things on my painting table at once. That way if I get bored/uninspired by one I can fall back on the … Continue reading
This is the last of the three Great Bears finished (apart from basing which I’ll get to). He is the leader and is named Volkov. I finished Kolsk and Yarovich over the last few evenings. Here are all three from … Continue reading
I finished the next of the Great Bears (named Yarovich) this evening. I finished Kolsk a few days ago. Just the leader Volkov to finish now. In case you are wondering, he is blu-taked to the top of an old … Continue reading
My newly painted Cryxian force faced off against Phil’s Protectorate of Menoth tonight. Phil is an old hand at the Protectorate and I’m relatively inexperienced with Cryx. We are, however, both very experienced at playing Warmachine, so I knew this … Continue reading
I’m currently basing my Cryx, but while the glue dries I’ve returned to the Great Bears of Gallowswood. I started these guys, along with a Koldun Lord, before I got stuck into the Cryx. I’m treating each as character, so … Continue reading
The last two weeks has been a marathon of painting. Over that time I’ve spent about 26 hours preparing and painting 30 miniatures and I’m pretty happy with the results. Asphyxious was added during the last week in order to … Continue reading
The Bane Knights mark the end of my push to get Cryx miniatures painted. All that remains now is to get all 30 miniatures that I’ve painted over the last two weeks based. The Knights were painted using a different, … Continue reading
