Will paint for Cryx!!! And other illegal substances.

I am painting a little for a friend who in return gave me a wraith engine and 6 different forge world weathering powders. This has put painting Cryx on hold a bit while I squeeze out the 15 hours of painting soloes that I promised. I only have to paint the models themselves except for three that has micro art studio bases. I am trying out some of the ideas I have for bases on my next army project (only 26 battles until I am allowed to indulge in another faction), as well as the forge world weathering powders. For these models I have used light and dark earth, and on the base some orange rust. I got so say, I love these powders and how these models turned out.

 I found that I paint slower than I thought. I was right about the time I spend on base coats, underestimated the time I spend correcting small errors, was faster at shading than I thought and finally was surprised how the time flyes when I am highlighting and doing small things like eyes and belt buckles. Every time I have been highlighting it felt faster than the clock told me, so I must be enjoying myself.

7 hours and 47 min of Work was spend on these

I live how her eyes turned out. Har to tell but she has White green and Black in those things

I was inspired by the gloves I use when washing dishes for his gloves

Ruthger is just so damn western. Cant help but think he would fit in Firefly

Even if I should keep my focus on these commissions, I hope to finish the wraith engine by Tuesday as we are finishing this months umbra league, and winning the league for falls on me painting more than my Searforge Friend, as he is just below me in points, and has a lot more new stuff to paint.

I actually played him using the pGoreshade list that I mentioned in the last post and I made a small error in the placement of my UA for the satyxis raiders, which cost me the mini feat. My leviathan harmed a spray bunny so it lost its gun within the first game turn. In turn two, Gruntback had an open flank, so I cursed him with tarterus so the banes pGoreshade conjured with his feat could hit reliably and killed him. A little luck made the feat assassination material rather than just pressure.

I also tried the witch coven and they performed quite good. eHalys bonded colossal surprised me, killed death jack and took out Selene and left me with a limited control. A unit of blood witches did good and killed the colossal with some help from tarterous, and a debuff. I managed to turn the thing into a grind which i was winning, but forgot a stormpod that he used to perform a Hail Mary lightning leap with the storm strider and killed the last two girls. I need to remember to remove those damn pods.

Perhaps I should make a real battle report someday soon. Leave a comment if you would like to see one done, and what format is the favorite one?
