Skarlock - alt caster

My skarlock came in the mail today! What is a skarlock? Well it's my alternate caster for my cryx army. What's an alt caster? Basically they cast spells for free as long as they're alive, which usually is a long time if you hide them in the back and behind cover (cover being the mechanothralls I hope get here soon).

So, I give you the (quite hard to assemble) skarlock.




I also got my night wretches, however they need to be washed. I have to say I'm excited that I don't have to glue jaws on later, since they have the aoe acid attack built in.

Funding newletter

Ah, so I forgot to do this last night!

Anyway I'll keep it short, we got $1200 :D

I feel bad though, out of $20,000 and we got 6%.


(insert complaint about getting 100$ less than last year)

Bonejacks! 3 of them

Managed to assembled and spray paint 3 bonejacks. No clue what they do, but I'll be painting them tomorrow and tonight.

Warwitch Deneghra complete

New Picture!
(to show scale & and because she is so tiny!)


So I lied and uploaded both in order to show off the colors better/more matte. The model is matte as hell, no shine at all, I made sure the metallic paints were muted with washes, necromancers shouldn't polish their armor, they should be raising the dead steam-powered machines that fight for them.

For my first model of warmachine I decided to paint my warcaster. She came in 3 piece, all of which were painted separately. I spent about 5 hours of actual painting time, trying out different color patterns and such. These pics were taken in yellow light and therefore suck ass, I'm going to get a white bulb for that lamp tomorrow. Reason for this color scheme, she's a necromancer, shes cold and dead, very matte and dark scheme.





And one "in-progress" pic

WARMACHINE is here! Yay!

So holy crap what a good day. First I live blog at an event and get food at that and another event, then warmachine comes in the mail. Basically on a whim, just like with warhammer, we (I) bought 3 of the 4 starting armies, their paints, and their power decks. For the next 3 days, I will be updating with unboxing photos, assembly photos, and painting photos, as obviously you have to paint your miniatures before you can play them. Oh this is going to be so much fun! :D

Tyranid Hive Tyrant & Wings

The wings I purchased for him

Batrep & a rainbow

So tonight Tim and I (anthony) played our first real match, it was 2 objectives, my nids against his marines.

And now for the rainbow story. So it was raining and sunny out, it was an all around shitty day. Anyway, I go to the window and look towards Center City like I always do, and BAM!!!! HUGE ASS RAINBOW!!!

"Holy shit!," I said, "This is probably the gayest thing I've ever said, but that is one amazing ass rainbow, you guys gotta come see this thing!"
They came quickly and it was a good thing they did, the rainbow began to fade ever so slighty. I ran to get my camera and got it just as it was fading. Seriously, best rainbow ever.



Oh, and here are pics from earlier in the storm system when it was hailing outside pretty badly. The hail only lasted maybe 2 minutes, but that was a loud 2 minutes (even through 1" thick windows).
