First Game with Slaughterhousers and Targ

"What a mess!"

Played a game of Warmachine/Hordes after some months only playing Firestorm Armada. I wanted to test my Slaughterhousers and Targ which haven’t been on the battlefield before. The Slaughterhousers were an epic fail, dying in the first two rounds by massive Cryx spells and shooting and doing nothing else. Targ was rather useful with his Auxillary Attack on my Gunboar. Actually the list I (mainly, 2 on 2 game) faced was pretty tough with eSkarre, Deathjack, full Revenant Crew and stuff. In the end I lost by caster kill without doing that much damage even with Lord Carver’s feat.

Another Papercraft Building

Just finished another of the great papercraft buildings by Dave Graffam. This is the West Gate. It was great fun to build and the quality is superb, like the two other buildings I tried before. Here are two pics of the building (second one after clicking “view full post” below) with some Warmachine models for size comparison. The gate is just wide enough to let a Warjack pass which makes for great gaming possibilities.

Full Metal Ivan – Part 5: Closer to the Colour Scheme

Another update of my progress on the full metal Black Ivan. Not as much progress as I would like to have. Christmas events have been stealing a lot of time recently. I hope painting progress will be faster next year. At least I’m getting closer to the final colour scheme.

Full Metal Ivan – Part 4: First Colour

Plain black on this ‘jack would be a little boring. So here are the first colours. Legs are almost finished. Still a lot to paint.

Gun Carriage – Finally Assembled

After having this thing mainly in his box unassembled the last months, I found the time to glue it together. This is a really impressive model and quite heavy even with all the resin. Painting it probably will give me some cramps. The second picture shows my solution for getting to difficult to reach spots for painting while enabling early playability with the model on its base.

Full Metal Ivan – Part3: Paint It Black

Basecoat almost finished (there are still some small difficult to reach spots left). A little to monochromatic for my taste so next step is to add some color.
