Flames of War – East of Bastogne (Scenario 2)

Kallus vs Mortenebra (50pts) – Narrative Battle Report

Kallus had flawless eyesight. He was sure he was the first of his army to spot the mechanika abominations across the other side of the burning village. Even the eyeless beasts under his command had not perceived the rapid advance of the Cryxian helljacks yet. Kallus had not spotted what was commanding them, but there [...]

I really enjoyed working on this model. I first came up with the idea around the time of GenCon 2011 when Wyrd had their online sale (I picked up the alternative sculpt of Lady Justice and the Dead Justice crew). I’m really happy with how it turned out. The base was pretty easy to build [...]
