Wow. I mean, just wow. I'm terrible at this blogging thing. Eight months between posts is pretty terrible. Especially since I have a lot of crap rolling around in the ol' noggin that could do with being written... er, typed.
So, anyway, I've been doing a fair bit of hobby stuff over the past couple months. By a fair bit, I mean I painted six or seven models. That's a lot for me. I don't get how some guys can push out an army of 50+ models in a week. It drives me mad.
I've been painting painting Warmachine models for the past couple weeks, because I've decided that I want to rekindle peoples' interest in the game. I figure a good way to do that is to organize official events. To do that, I have to be a "Press Ganger". In order to be one of those, I have to have two painted box sets and a completed application form. I chose to paint up the Cygnar and Khador boxes, since they're both relatively simple models, with small model counts and easy colour schemes. I finished painting the Cygnar box set last night, with basing and everything. I have to say that they look quite sharp, standing together as a group.
Judge for yourself:
I chose not to paint the models with the metallic gold. I feel that is a failing of the Privateer official colour schemes. At least for Cygnar. Two much metallic paint. I instead painted the Warjacks' shoulders and Stryker's armour with Tau Sept Ochre, which I find to be less offensive to my eyes. That's why I never really liked Grey Knights. All metallic colour scheme. Ick.
Next up is to paint Sorscha and her motley crew. I'll admit that I took a bit of a shortcut, and spray primed them red. I'll basically just wash the 'jacks with Baal Red and then some highlights. I'll of course take more time with Sorscha. Warcasters deserve full attention.
Here's where they sit now:
