Blasted Heath – Final Game

I’ve really enjoyed the Blasted Heath league as it has been a great opportunity to get to know Cryx as a faction. I painted the majority of them back in August, but hadn’t had an chance to field them too much. I’ve played seven games of various sizes against six different opponents using six different [...]

Shattered Grounds – Multi-player League Games

Yesterday was a funny kind of Father’s Day… I didn’t see my daughter at all! She was staying with her grandparents on Saturday night and I was off playing little soldiers when she was brought home and put to bed. That said, it was still an awesome day. I played two multi-player games for the [...]

Two Beers, Two Games, Two Wins

I got my first two Blasted Heath league games under my belt tonight. Harry came out to the house to pit his Skorne against my Cryx. I decided I’d give Cryx a go in the league as they are my third faction (behind Khador and Legion) and they haven’t received a whole lot of attention [...]

Deathjack (Redesign): Complete

I’ll write a painting guide when I have the energy. I just completed this guy in a four hour painting marathon. I probably put three hours painting into it before today, not to mention the building time! I think he’s turned out pretty well. I’m looking forward to seeing my opponents’ faces when I put [...]

Painting Deathjack (Redesign): Work in Progress

After spending so long building this miniature I finally started applying some paint to it this evening. It really is huge. I’ll write a painting guide when it’s finished, but for now here’s a side-by-side shot with Iron Lich Asphyxious. It gives a sense of just how large this miniature is! Owen

Redesigning Deathjack – Complete

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1iKlaq2mYhA

Wow! He’s turned out to be some kind of monster. I’m not sure how well I like the horns on the arms, but they certainly bulk out the miniature and enhance its stature. I have just undercoated him, so I’ll reserve judgement until I apply some paint. I much prefer painting to assembling, so I’m [...]
