Sorry This Took So Long
After taking months off of painting this miniature I finally got some inspiration to finish it. With the release of Warmachine “MK3” I want to finish as many miniatures as possible. I’ve finished the horses, the wheels and a wrack. Need to do some touch ups on the horses but that shouldn’t be difficult. Need to start painting the chariot, and finish the base, the other wrack and flags. I should have this done in a month or so.

Below is a video battle report of Severius1 vs Denegrah1. Denegrah came away with the win, but it was a great game to learn from. It was also my first time playing against Nyss hunters. I will not make the same mistakes again, at least I hope I don’t. Hope you enjoy the video. If you have any comments or questions leave them at the bottom.

Hello Wargamers! The video below is from a 50 point Warmachine game. The scenario was Close Quarters from Steam Roller 2015. The teams were composed of two 25 point armies, Mercenaries/Protectorate of Menoth and Convergence of Cyriss/Cryx. The humans vs the soulless! The teams were split based on experience. Rodel and I were the veterans and the new guys Roland and Ronald were the new players. The newer players took a bit longer than the vets but that is expected since they’re still learning the game.
We had a lot of fun especially since we were playing with two casters. Coming up with cool combos was exciting and a made the game more casual than competitive. I hope we get to play another team game soon, I had a blast. If you can’t see the video below, head to (http://youtu.be/w2be2a9jDPU).

After sitting on my desk for a few months, I finally decided to start assembling Anson Durst. Thankfully, it was an easy build, with not a lot of parts. I had to pin a few things together and I’m a bit worried about the shield. I’m also putting him on a brick base to match the other paladins in my army. I’ve played two proxy games with him and I’m excited to field him in the coming months.
I’m not abandoning the Reznik 2 build. I just finished assembling parts of his chariot and I need to prime them. I will try finish him before I start on painting Durst.

I know it’s not Wednesday but I forgot to post a better shot of the display board. The board matches my army perfectly and I’m satisfied with the outcome. The pictures below were taken at Otaku Recon.

After months of sitting on my shelf, my Protectorate of Menoth display board is finally finished. I have learned a lot on this project and my terrain building skills have increased. Now, I need to build more terrain. I used my cell phone to take these pictures, but I will set up the light box and take better shots later. Also, I will be using this board during Otaku Recon. I will post some recap pictures as well.
Added some gesso to the board as a primer. I prefer a spray primer but it dissolves the foam. I’ve used gesso before but I diluted it too much. It wasn’t as opaque as I would like but it will do.
Started base coating with a yellow brown for the walls and a dark umber for the sand.
Sorry for the grainy picture. I dry brushed the sand with progressively lighter browns and shaded using a dark umber wash. The walls were shaded with the same dark umber wash, and highlight using the same colors. I’ve painted the gate/door but it’s not shown. I also painted the exposed pink foam black and added some flock. I will take better pictures over the weekend.
If you have any comments or questions, feel free to message me or leave them at the bottom.

I’ve been putting off my Protectorate of Menoth display board for awhile now, but with Otaku Recon just around the corner I figured it’s time to finish the board. So far I’ve glued some gravel in the gaps and glued some sand onto the pink foam. I should have cleaned the sand before gluing since some plant particles were still in the sand. After the glue dried, I started sealing the sand with some watered down glue. Next up, I need to add some gesso. The gesso will act as a primer since spray primer will dissolve the pink foam. Check out next week for the completion of this project.

I finished most of the work on Reznik. I still have to do a few highlights but that will come later. I’m still having trouble with blacks. Getting highlights just right is becoming more difficult. I need to work on mixing my highlight colors and blending but I’m happy with my results. Shading is getting easier and I’m seeing an improvement in my technique. I still have a lot to learn. I will be starting on the horses next and then the wracks hopefully.

With the TFG finished it’s time to put Reznik 2 on deck. I finished clipping some flash and mold lines, and I finished washing him with some soap. Next up, I need to prime pieces and start painting. Going to start with Reznik and then start on the horses and chariot.

I finally finished painting my Temple Flameguard! I’m excited to start working on Reznik 2. I was going to paint Harbinger of Menoth next but I decided to add on her other cloths. Let me know what you guys think.
