Warmachine/Hordes Painting - The 50mm Painting Contest

New Monthly Contest!! I know all of us have unpainted models out
there and some of us procrastinate the most on the big models! So this
month anyone who enters will have 30 days to paint a 50mm model. It can
be any figure as long as it has a 50mm base (Example: Epic Borka, Khador
Destroyer, Extreme Carnivian etc...)

Judging will start on July
1st where the top 5 Unit's will be selected by the admins. The Best of
Show award will be voted by everyone in the group out of the top
five. There will be two categories entrants will be eligible for,
Masters and Mercenaries. **You may only enter Masters if you have
previously entered our painting contests and have placed within the top 5
previously.** Judges reserve the right to move your entry into Masters
category if we feel your painting is of high enough level.

Entries will be judged July 3rd at a time yet to be determined by the admin staff.

Warmachine/Hordes Painting

Warmachine Hordes Weekend Photo Dump 040615

We had a 3 day break including Saturday last week and thus I think I was able to be very productive. This is not my norm as I report to a day job work ( 9 to 12 hours ) a day during weekdays. I did enjoy working on these Privateer Press miniatures for 3 days straight with a couple of Warmachine / Hordes games in between painting sessions with my 8 year old son and my 9 year old daughter.



Playing with my son and daughter makes this hobby extra fulfilling as you not only get to paint great looking miniature sculpts, you also get to spend quality playtime with your kids.



The purple Cryx army is mine as it is a trade-in payment for the commissioned works you see in this post. The Gatorman Bokor ( and Shamblers ), Alexia and the Risen, Khador Outriders, Mercenary Steelheads, Trollkin Long Riders and the Trollkin Champions are all commissioned works from the same client.



I also managed to squeeze a bit of time in painting my Mammoth and fully assembling the arms for the first time. Learned a lot painting these lot last weekend and hope to continue to work on them this coming weekend. Super fun stuff!



Thanks as always for dropping by! Until next post guys! Just enjoy the hobby! :)

Aptimus Marketh Skorne Solo - UNBOXING

I have here a really quick unboxing ( unblistering ) of Aptimus Marketh. Aptimus is a Hordes Skorne Solo in white metal by Privateer Press. I love the detail and the weight of PP metal figs so much! It feels so much worth the money and feels great during game play.



This character solo is fun to field in the game as he practically collect souls of dead soldiers in the battle. Pretty cool stuff as your Warlock gets to use the soul tokens as fury tokens. Not too familiar with the rules yet, but having a cool looking model with soul collecting powers in a game sounds cool to me.

"Aptimus Marketh is one of the most accomplished extollers in the Skorne
Empire. 

He is so focused on the arts of ancestral magic that he prefers
the company of 

venerated ancestor spirits housed within sacral stones to
that of his living peers. 

Though somewhat aloof, his magical prowess is
unmistakable and 

Aptimus Marketh is frequently sought out to 

lend his
skill to the most worthy of skorne warlocks." - Privateer Press

Below is the link to Privateer Press with a 360 degree view of this model...

 Below are some photos of my son's ( this army is mine but my son plays it a lot due to the mammoth ) growing Skorne army... Dang have I told you I love Privateer Press metal minis? lol

Paingiver Beast Handlers Skorne Unit - UNBOXING

I have here another unboxing of an old Privateer Press released metal miniature model. I got these models the other day as I try to grow my Skorne army to match my bigger Khador army. Not too aware with synergy and spells and such as I only play with my 8 year old son and my 9 year old daughter. Our game involves focos and fury these days and we now do charging, running and other abilities that both I and my kids understand.



Needless to say we are having a blast playing our Warmachine / Hordes miniatures. I might not paint as much PP miniatures soon as I will be working on my pending Gundam commissioned works but will continue to post some unboxing posts as me and my kids are also looking to build up a Cryx and Legion of Everblight army. Dang this game is so much fun now as I get to spend quality playing time with my kids ( more excuse to buy too ). Wife is enjoying watching us play these miniature battles.



I just love the metal miniatures from Privateer Press, they just feel more expensive ( lol ). The newer plastic sculpts rival that of the metal minis, but the older plastics are okay.

"Beast handlers are a specially trained class of paingivers able to evoke
tremendous 

effort from the beasts under their charge and enrage them to
rampage forward with 

superlative strength and speed. A paingiver must
know and be able to take full advantage 

of the exact temperament and
limits of his beasts in order to unlock their 

most destructive
instincts."
