The Skorne Project - Part 1

In addition to the Dark Eldar I'm building and painting for me friend, I also agreed to work on his (thankfully) small Skorne force.

 

This... is a pile of bits...

And this... is a slightly more organised pile of bits...

So the army is simply the Skorne Battle Box (in metal blast it) and a unit of Paingivers. Nice and small although he does want to expand it to 25 or 35 points. The paint scheme for these guys is going to be similar to the Skorne standard colours, though I will probably use GW paints.

Those claws are mean.

The Dark Eldar Project - Part 2

Once I had the Warrior squads out of the way it was time to start working on the bigger stuff. The unpainted old raider was fun, my friend had glued the platforms on the sides upside down. Not only that, but he had used so much glue that there was no way I could detach it. Sawing and plastic gluing later and it still looks a bit wonky, but hey, at least the troops have somewhere to stand now.

The 'Fleet'. 3 old model Raiders and a lone new model.

The Retribution of Scyrah Battle Box - Contents and Building

Its finally here!

=D =D =D

Got my hands on the Retribution of Scyrah Battle Box, complete with plastic Light Myrmidons and plastic Kaelyssa. So lets see what we've got:

2 Baggies, Cards, and the standard Quick Start Guide and mini No Quarter sample.

This is a little neater.

Four models to start our Retribution of Scyrah adventure:

• Warcaster Kaelyssa, Night's Whisper
• Manticore Heavy Myrmidon
• Chimera Light Myrmidon
• Griffon Light Myrmidon

The whole force comes to 13 points, so pretty standard for a battle box list.

The pose is a big improvement on the metal Kaelyssa

Heres a comparison with the metal Model. She's smaller now.

The Chimera, I tried for a rushing pose. He's about to throw a punch.

Damn camera focus... a comparison of the plastic and metal Light Myrmidons.

Griffon. Trying for a shield raised defensive posture.

When I first dabbled in RoS a few years ago I made a magnetized Manticore/Hydra. I've decided to use the Battle Box Heavy bits with my leftover pieces to make a Phoenix instead. So heres the Battle Box, all built and ready for painting:

Pretty intimidating I'd say.

The Starting Point and an Eiryss Conversion

After presenting this as a Retribution of Scyrah blog I've been quite short on Retribution related posts. So to start us off I thought I would show you the beginning models I have for the Retribution of Scyrah:

Lots of Solos, an artifact from my first jump into RoS.

The Dark Eldar Project - Part 1

About 8 months ago (might even have been longer) I agreed to built and paint my friends Dark Eldar in exchange for his remaining Tyranids. I had wanted to start a Tyranid army at the time I thought it would be a pretty good trade...

I screwed myself over with this one.

So I had the models soaking in Simple Green for nearly 6 months (and it still didn't get the primer off) so now it's time to start getting this stuff done.

So before I soaked these guys I pulled them into as many pieces as I could, this left me with a huge job trying to clean them all up later. But thankfully, as of writing this, that's all done with. We are now at the stage of building everything and beginning to paint.

So heres a few starting pics to give you an idea:

Dark Eldar Archon... Lord... Evil leader dude.

The Cygnar Battle Box - Contents

I picked up the Cygnar Battle Box a little while ago, along with some dice, tokens, and the Forces of Warmachine book to match. I took some pictures but had not got around to using them, so here they are for your enjoyment, and reference if you haven't seen the contents of this Battle Box before:



The Battle Box, FoW: Cygnar book, Template Set and ofcourse some blue dice to match.

Each model comes in its own little bag.

The Battle Box also came with a Quick Start rules sheet to help new players get started.

 

 

 

Obligatory First Post

Hey guys, I'm Barodas and welcome to my wargaming blog. I suppose to start off I'll give a bit of an overview of my experiences in this little hobby of ours.

I started playing with Warhammer 40k around 3 1/2 years ago. A friend introduced me to the game, I bought an Assault on Black Reach set and some tanks/units and began my journey with Space Marines. I wasn't much of a painter and only got 8 models finished in my entire year and a half of gaming:

Genesis Space Marine. First ever model I painted.
