Finally!

Pag sinipag nga naman

Molik Karn, Titan Bronzeback, & Malice. 2 warbeasts and a warjack finished in one week* and its only Wednesday! Also assembled Zaal.

Next up: Mechanithralls and Preatorian Swordsmen! Strike while the iron is hot!

Unless my tamaditis suddenly strikes :D

*been working on karn and the bronzeback since last week but, yeah, finished them both yesterday. Started malice this morning, just finished.

charging bronzeback titan

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

lost hemisphere paint the target entry

cataphract centrati. 3 days. sakit sa ulo!

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.

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.

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.
