Red and Gold!

Xerxis, Molik Karn and a unit of Centrati fully painted. Morghoul2 about 90% done.

now with more warbeasts

painting molik karn now. lost one of the shoulder spikes when i stripped him so i just plugged the hole with some greeen stuff.

got a bronzeback titan earlier today. damned things assembly was kinda easy but filling in all those gaps took a lot if time. i arranged the hands so that it looks as if its charging -at least i think it looks like its charging- which meant more gaps to be filled. putting it on the base was also a bit hard since, whatever angle you put it in, however far back you place it in the base, its tusks will go out up to almost an inch in front of it.

bahala na kung paano sya papasok sa .5" melee range hehehe

tyrant xerxis

finally done with xerxis!


yeah. default skorne colors using slightly a different method.

vmc carmine red for the flats, highlighted with khador highlight and heartfire then washed with p3 red ink. followed the skorne book recipe of umbral umber, exile blue and coal black for shading.

for the golds, vgc glorious gold was used as a base for the armor trim and red lacquered areas. this was followed by a wash of citadel agrax earthshade for the trim and p3 red ink for the lacquered parts. finally a final shading of citadel nuln oil was applied to the deepest parts.

the steel areas of the pillars of halaak was painted with a base of pig iron, washed with nuln oil and highlighted with cold steel. thesand on xerxis' base and horns/tusks/teeth on his back banners were basecoated with jack bone and washed with agrax earthshade.


i believe that i will start hoarding agrax earthshade and nuln oil now :D

painting updates + some reminiscing

i just did the math and found out that ive been in wargaming for eleven years. i remember buying my warhammer fantasy battles started box (empire vs orcs) in neutral grounds in galleria before watching the first part of the lord of the rings. that was december 2001 and ive gone through 10 armies, 3 systems and countless times my fingers have been cut, drilled and glued together. nice.

anyhoo...

finished the girls of dick's witch coven of garlghast and moving on to the egregore. this is the third time (i think) that im painting these models and while i find that the witches have gotten easier, their disco ball is still a pain in the ass to paint. i still have no shortcut for the glowing green surface under the plates.

on the skorne front, ive given my epic morghoul, mordikaar and molik karn a simple green bath. tyrant xerxis' reds have been started with a basecoat of vmc carmine red. not unexpectedly, i dropped the model and the arms pooped off! i would have been royally pissed at my clumsiness had i not seen that the sides were now more exposed thus making painting those areas easier to paint.

on the gaming side, i havent been able to play as much as id like as most the weekends of may have been fully booked by anniversaries and family trips. bad timing since the bunker will be closing its doors by the end of may. hopefully it will be open for general gaming on the 25th.

skorne red. kinda...

might ba doing studio skorne colors after all. morgoul, molik karn meet simple green, simple green, this is morghoul and molik.

update 7:09 pm

ok not exactly the studio scheme. darker red and maybe white somewhere.

03 May 2012

wips

finished molik karn's skin and tabard. moving on to base coating the lacquered plates. also, cleaning dick sy's witch coven of garlghast.

skorne vs khador 4/27/12

kelangan ko dalas dalasan paglalaro. ang tagal ko mag isip nung naglaro kami ni kim sa bunker nung byernes. dalawang oras para sa 35 points! laro laro pa!

gamit nya si old witch na may behemoth, minimum winterguard na may ua, gregorovitch, greatbears, kayazy na may underboss at si saxon orik. yung dala ko naman ay skorne na may molik karn, max preatorian swordmen at ua, max centrati, titan gladiator, isang unit ng beast handlers at si epic morgoul.

ang hirap kay morghoul, wala syang spell o ability na makakatulong pahabain buhay ng troops nya. mukhang talagang andun lang ang troops sa kanya para makapasok sya (o si molik karn) para mag assassinate ng  warlock/warcaster. panget din gamitin para sa depensa yung feat nya. kumbaga bonus nalang yung evasive at ang dapat habulin e yung no free strikes. di din gaano nakatulong yung feat kasi nung sumunod na turn nya e nag feat na din si old witch. ok na sana yung pow 14 hit pag di ka umalis sa control area ni old witch. ang nakadale lang talaga e yung no charge, run at special attacks. tingin ko kaya pang pumasok sana ni morgoul nun kung naka charge sya tapos transfer nalang ng damage sa titan o kay karn.

ganyan talaga nangyayari pag tamad magbasa. hiniram ko na yung card ni old witch pero di ko nabasa ng maayos kung ano ginagawa nung feat nya hehehe.

mas bagay yata kay xerxis yung list.

talo ko pero may mga natutunan din naman kaya ok na din. panget ng madaming proxy, kailangan ko ng totoong titan gladiator at beast handlers!

26 April 2012

oh noes!

mas nag eenjoy ako magpintura ng skorne. masama na yung tingin sakin nung seether. spikes nalang daw ayaw ko pa tapusin :P

24 April 2012

Dessert Skorne :D

nakapili na din ako ng primary color para sa skorne: rucksack tan. kaya tumigil muna ako sa pagpipintura ng seether para subukan yung kulay kay eMorghoul.

o ha! test fig warlock agad!

nagsimula ako sa basecoat ng rucksack tan at nag shade gamit ang umbral umber at highlight ng menoth white base at menoth white highlight. pagkatapos yung mga border ay pininturahan ko ng radiant platinum. ayun mukha tuloy leche flan na nasa llanera.

ang hindi ko palang naiisip e kung ano magandang secondary color para dun sa mga tela.


21 April 2012

back to cryx

at pagkatapos mabuo ng skorne swordsmen, balik naman ako sa pagpipintura ng seether na nakuha ko kay dick.

19 April 2012

preator swordsmen

nung nakuha ko yung skorne lot kay mang, may ilang mga putol ang paa at naka pin lang. nangaputol nsila nung nilinis ko yung mga fig, tapos tinamad na ko mag skorne. 

ngayon, nahukay ko ulit sila at may mga maaayos pa pala at nung tinignan ko, nakabuo pa ko ng isang buong unit, kasama yung attatchment.

trying skorne

tried playing with the skorne i got waaaaaay back when against fred's blindwater congregation army. i think i was actually doing well until i decided NOT TO CHARGE one of Fred's wrastlers with molik karn. 2 sidesteps and barnabas would have been in range, and with eMorghul's silence of death spell on him, the wrastlers would have been useless if barnabas survived. but i didnt charge so barnabas got to pop his feat and send that damn wrastler to chew on morghul's sorry ass.

 my skorne list:
eMorghul
Molik Karn
2 cyclops savages
max beast handlers
max centrati
2 ancestral guardians

 fred's blindwater congregation
Bloody Barnabas
2 Wrastlers
2 units min gatormen posse
2 units bog trog ambushers
croak hunter

 first game since june 2011 and using a hordes army. argh! proxied beast handlers, should have proxied a titan gladiator as well.

at leaast this time fury managemant wasnt as hard as when i tried legion of everblight.
