Progress on my Privateer force, my MkII project, is going pretty well. Here is a gallery of photographs – Captain Phinneas Shae First Mate Hawk Lord Rockbottom, Expetidion Financier Doc Killingsworth Bosun Grogspar Mariner Buccaneer Sea Dog Crew Sea Dog Riflemen As I mentioned before this is a strange project. I bought some of the [...]

So, what better time to learn to play Hordes than when Warmachine MkII is released!? I’ve had my Legion army since Hordes was initially released, but it’s been more of a painting project than an army. I don’t need to learn the rules, I know them and am an accomplished Warmachine player, but I do [...]

Okay – here’s another work-in-progress shot of my mercenaries. The Mariner has been on the painting table for about a week and a half at this stage, so you can see that progress is slow. It’s coming together nicely with only the grey areas and detailing to do. It shouldn’t take much to finish it. [...]

Saeryn’s powers couldn’t keep the Carnivean from crumbling to the onslaught from Kaelyssa and a Hydra. She could feel it’s fury being turned against it by the Iosan ‘caster. The Archers were dying in droves to her right and the Legionnaires were all but wiped out. She knew her only chance was to hit Kaelyssa [...]

Irusk did not like the south of Khador in the middle of the, albeit short, summer. It was hot, too damn hot, and was frequented by the most villainous filth. These pirates were men without honour, fighting for coin and caring about nothing but their own hide. The clear weather allowed them to hit the [...]

This is just a quick post while I finish two battle reports. This guy is complete now. I’ll write the colour guide when I’m working on the Mariner and I’ll take some proper photos of the Privateer progress to date too. Owen

This is just a short battle report of a game Steve and I played before Christmas. It was a 35pt game between Khador and the Retribution. Steve’s army was – Kaelyssa, Night’s Whisper Chimera Griffon Hydra Dawnguard Invictors (Leader and 5 Grunts) Dawnguard Invictor Officer & Standard Soulless Escort Mage Hunter Strikeforce (Leader and 9 [...]

Imagine playing a tabletop game against an opponent over 1000km away. That’s what I did last night! OVERVIEW Okay, I’m a little behind the curve on this, but I had my first online game of Warmachine using Vassal. In case you don’t know what that is, it’s a program that let’s you play a large [...]

Just a quick teaser shot of the Buccaneer. The navy colour is done, as are the flames inside the head. I think I’m going to go with battleship grey on the other plate areas. The metal details will probably be brass and the gears steel, but that may change as I finish painting him. I [...]

Here’s a shot of the work-in-progress for Bosun Grogspar, the lates guy for my Mercenary Privateer force. He’s nearly there, just a little base work to do. He has a really dynamic pose and was thankfully pretty easy to paint. I went with dark Trollkin flesh and orange eyes. The rest of the colours are [...]
