Great Bears of Gallowswood: Work in Progress #2

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 GW ink bottle with some water in it. I find it’s a nice weight and [...]

Asphyxious vs Severius (500pt Battle Report)

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 was going to be a challenge. We decided on a simple 500pt kill the ‘caster [...]

Great Bears of Gallowswood: Work in Progress #1

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 this one (named Kolsk) is the first to be (almost) finished. The others have their [...]

Project Cryx: Complete (for now…)

Bane Knights: Complete

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, but hopefully complimentary, colour scheme. I was torn between painting them as ethereal ghosts (to [...]

Panzer Lehr Gepanzerte Panzergrenadiers: Painting Guide

This is a step-by-step guide for painting Flames of War 15mm Gepanzerte Panzergrenadiers (armoured German infantry) from the Panzer Lehr Division (1944-1945). It is not intended to be a completely historically accurate guide, rather a quick and simple way to achieve good results in a short amount of time. Each Panzergrenadier platoon constitutes 6 MG [...]

Iron Lich Asphyxious: Painting Guide

I’ve been working on my Cryx over the last week and Iron Lich Asphyxious is the last miniature I’ve completed, so I decided I’d do a step-by-step guide to painting him. I tend to paint character models individually as they deserve a little more time and detailing as they tend to receive more attention on [...]
