NEWS – It’s time…

So after getting into Warmachine at the beginning of 2011, I finally got both battle boxes ready. It’s time to apply to become a Press Ganger! I was first demoed the game by 2 different Press Gangers from 2 different stores. I got to try out Warmachine and then Hordes. Both were super awesome people and I would love to share that same experience with other newcomers. My LGS has a strong community overall and we have about 20 or so Warmahordes players but no official PG! I’ve been so busy focusing on my forces that my Cygnar battle box has been sitting there for almost half a year. One of the local players offered to assemble my Cygnar battle box and another agreed to paint them. He has never painted Warmachine models so the Cygnar battle box was his first. I just based and arced them. That was super awesome of both of them to do that for me. I really appreciate their time in helping me so that I can finally apply.

So yea….it’s time.

These were some of my first mini’s after a 10+ year hiatus from wargaming & painting

My buddy did a pretty awesome job using weathering powder like crazy!

This happens to be my 100th post! Coincidence?! I THINK NOT….DESTINY!!!

Khador Battle Box Juggernaut Warjack…

The last Warjack of the Khador Battle Box and DONE!

1. White P3 Primer
2. Base coat colors using Vallejo Game Colors
3. Used Citadel Badab Black wash all over the miniature
4. Minimal highlights (studs, bolts, rivets, gearwheels, etc.)
5. Bases are comprised of Woodland Scenics grass, trees, & rocks. I also use Skullcrafts Autumn Mix Leaf Scatter
6. Finally I use Army Painter Anti-Shine Matte Varnish & Vallejo Gloss Varnish only on it’s Ice Axe to make it look shiny and icy

I originally painted the Juggernaut’s Ice Axe metallic but I decided to not be lazy and give it some character since it is a Ice Weapon.

Khador Battlebox Destroyer Warjack…

Warjacks! I loved the way the Khador ones looks and the main reason why I picked this army. After much debate I decided not to magnetize these models since I wouldn’t be swapping their weapons. So after all the cleaning, pinning, superglue, and epoxy use, he was ready to paint!

1. White P3 Primer
2. Base coat colors using Vallejo Game Colors
3. Used Citadel Badab Black wash all over the miniature
4. Minimal highlights (studs, bolts, rivets, gearwheels, etc.)
5. The splatter gore effect was accomplished using 1 part Vallejo Rojo Visceral Gory Red and 3-4 parts Citadel Devlan Mud Wash. I then loaded up a size 3 flat brush and flicked it onto the axe
6. Bases are comprised of Woodland Scenics grass, trees, & rocks. I also use Skullcrafts Autumn Mix Leaf Scatter
7. Finally I use Army Painter Anti-Shine Matte Varnish & Vallejo Gloss Varnish only on it’s Bloody executioner Axe to make the blood look fresh and new

A special shout out goes to PG_Wargame_junkie from the Privateer Press Forums for giving me the info on how to make a proper gore mix. I streamlined his recipe a bit to make it easier and less time consuming for myself though ;p

Khador Kommander Sorshca…

So I finally started receiving some of my Khador stuff. After finalizing my army colors I decided to paint the Battle Box Sorshca next, but I ended up using a little more of the classical red paint scheme mixed with my own.

1. White P3 Primer
2. Base coat colors using Vallejo Game Colors
3. Used Citadel Badab Black wash all over the miniature
4. Minimal highlights (studs, rivets, flesh, Frostfang Hammer, etc.)
5. Bases are comprised of Woodland Scenics grass & trees. I also use Skullcrafts Autumn Mix Leaf Scatter
6. Finally I use Army Painter Anti-Shine Matte Varnish & Vallejo Gloss Varnish only on her Frostfang Hammer
