New Warmachine Project

I hear that the next local tournament is going to be 20 points painted, or 15 points mangled metal. Either way I have some painting to do. I'm going to start with this Cyclone. I really like pairing him with the Arcane Tempest Gunmage Unit Attachment. This frees up focus for my Warcaster and and really makes him a swiss army knife with the rune shot ability.

I am also trying out a new brand of primer the guys at 40k radio recommended called touch n' tone. This stuff applied incredibly smooth, and I really didn't have to use a lot of spray to get a nice even finish.

Painted Cygnar Battlebox!

Finished painting my Ironclad!

Here he is all finished up. I used citadel mithril silver, washed with badab black for all the silver parts. The blue came out great with P3's Cygnar Blue Base, followed by two washes of Cygnar Blue Highlight. The shoulder pads are citadel chaos black, and the studs and outline are P3 blighted gold. The gold on the legs, head cowling, exhaust ports, and shoulders are Citadel Shining Gold, then washed with the P3 blighted gold. The base was painted with a watered down goblin green. The basing material is from an old bag of citadel modeling sand. Note: DO NOT BUY THE NEW CITADEL MODELING SAND YOU WILL BE DISAPPOINTED!

Painting the Ironclad was totally worth it, because he charged around the board at the And Books Too Warma-Hordes Battlebox tournament yesterday. That Earthquake hammer knocked down, another Ironclad, and Scorcha. And turned a Cryx chickenwalker, an Iron Clad, a lancer, a juggernaught, and a destroyer into slags over the course of the tournament. He definitely had a pile of dead cogs to his name at the end of the day.

Also special thanks to Rob for throwing a great event! I'm looking forward to the next one.

What I'm working on right now.

Welcome Welcome!

I intend to use this blog as a motivational tool to keep my hobby projects going. I am an avid miniature warfare kind of guy. I've played Flames of War, Warhammer Fantasy, and many others in the past. My current / long term games are Warhammer 40, 000, and Warmachine. I'm really looking forward to all the things I can do with this blog. So enough about this, I'm going to start on the first real post!
