| Been busy with xmas and work... finally had xmas day off work first time in 2 years... was great to have the day with the kids and family.
Just sent of an order for more warmachine due to the $$ i got for b'day and xams.
Buying 1 Cryx: Sea Witch Unit Attachment [mates order] 1 Cryx: Warwitch Siren [mates order] 2 Cryx: Scrap Thralls [Lady Grey's] 1 Cygnar: Warcaster Captain Jeremiah Kraye [Mine] 1 Cygnar: Heavy Warjack Plastic Kit (Cyclone, Defender, or Ironclad) [Mine] 1 Cygnar: Captain Arlen Strangewayes [Mine] 1 Cygnar: Stormclad Heavy Warjack [Mine] 1 Cygnar: Hunter Light Warjack [Mine] 1 Cygnar: Hammersmith Heavy Warjack [Mine] 1 Mercenaries: Boomhowler and Company Box Set [Mine] 1 Mercenaries: Reinholdt, Gobber Speculator [Mine] 1 Mercenaries: Rhupert Carvolo, Piper of Ord [Mine] 1 Cygnar: Ol' Rowdy Heavy Warjack [Mine] 1 Cygnar: Warcaster Captain Allistar Caine [Mine]
so going with a Jack heavy list and a Gun toting unit list with a few heavy jacks. just could't seem to get a balanced army with eHaley and eStryker...[I think I got more chance making a eStryker list]
will post pics once they come in this is my last big splurg for awhile.
Cheers LGW _________________  |

| thought I better add some more pics. My Painted Cygnar:  Arcane Tempest Gun Mages and Gun Mage Officer:  Black 13th Gun Mage Strike Team  [Epic Warcaster] Major Victoria Haley   Sentinel Light Warjacks  Charger and Lancer Light Warjacks  Over all happy with the theme but disappointed with Haley but spent so long on her can't be F@!ked dealing with her. Didn't do a close up of the Jounrneyman Warcaster and Squire due to both needing some fix ups. her face currently looks like a cat-girl and his white is to bright. So will do some adjustments tonight and might try and add pics tomorrow. Still got a few more minis to paint:  Stormblade Unit [5 grunts and leader] Stormblade Officer Stormblade Standard bearer Stormblade Stormgunners x3 [Epic Warcaster] Lord Commander Stryker I'll knuckle down and paint the Stormblades so I will have time to glue and paint the next batch of minis.... then my Cygnar is done and I will then save up for My Hordes Circle of Oboros army..... bring on the WOLVES!!!!!!

| Now we are talking! Excellent work!!! The Warjacks look phenomenal and the basing is A+++!!! I could see some blue on few bases, but nothing major (DO NOT TOUCH THEM!  ) Just paint the bottom brown or black on this next batch. The face on Haley is not that bad... remember than washing/inking/glazing is not the best/easiest technique to paint flesh. It works wonders with cloth and metal... but not with organics. She looks GREAT... be proud! Thanks for sharing... we wait for the next batch of pics!  _________________ . The Mordheimer - Death Squads' Chief Editor & Ninja Designer.

| These guys are looking very cool!
This is a very warband - the warjacks in particular look ace (very good work on the basing)

| I'll fix up the bases tonight... I am having a ball painting up my Cygnar battleforce and Can't wait till I get my next order and have even more fun gluing up more War jacks. After this splurge its either a Hordes Circle of Oboros or a new version of the PsP. | Quote: | | (DO NOT TOUCH THEM! ) Just paint the bottom brown or black on this next batch. |
I did its just the top of the lip I've missed the inside of the bases were painted a dark brown.
It just needs a 2nd coat and that is what this round of pics was to help me with "Identify the bits" i have missed.
cheers LGW_________________  |

| thought I better up date this with my new painted figs: My 15pt ListCaptain Jeremiah Kraye Cyclone Hammersmith Captain Arlan Strangewayes Squire  Captain Jeremiah Kraye:  I really like this miniature and the Warcaster has some awesome skills/spells/abilities looking forward to taking him out for a run against my wife's Cryx battleforce. Cyclone Heavy Warjack  Need to add some more details on the pale blue bits, and make sure I haven't missed any parts. Hammersmith Heavy Warjack  I tried a different style with his base it was my attempt at making a cheap water effect. I think it looks ok just need to add some greenery so it ties in with the rest of the Cygnar bases I have done so far. Captain Arlan Strangewayes  I need to pick out some of his tools and detail on his apron before I give him a coat of matt varnish. Overview:I am happy that this lot will fit in with the rest of my army and it was an interesting time doing them. What's next:I still have the following to paint Cygnar:Ol Rowdy Heavy Warjack Character Stormblade Heavy Warjack Hunter Light Warjack Stormguard squad [6] [UA+3xWA] eStryker eCaine Mercs:Anastasia Di Bray Rhupert Carvolo, Piper of Ord Reinholdt, Gobber Speculator Greygore Boom Howler & Co What I still want to get:Rangers Gun Mage Adept Archduke Alain Runewood Eiryss, Angel of Retribution Captain Jonas Murdoch Hunter Light Warjack Storm Strider Stormsmith Storm tower Stormsmith Stormcaller [3] Will post more as I get them done but having a break now and painting up some 6mm WWII stuff so my son and I can play tank battles.

| I was thinking about getting some cool resin bases but in the end decided the added expense and the way it would have drawn attention away from the miniature I went with my ol'budgo bases,
still want pics.

| not sure what my 2nd faction will be...
the options are: Circle of Orboros: I love the WOLF theme in the lists. Trollblood: I have Greygore Boomhowler & Co mercs so i got a start on this Faction Khador: I like the Russian theme to this faction and they have some cool gear. Mercs: I love the variety and range you can choose from plus I have a few Mercs already.
I am almost at the end of getting the Cygnar stuff I NEED/WANT and I can easily do over 100pts for one warcaster or 4 50pts warcaster lists [I got four casters] eHayley eCaine eStryker Kraye
Cheers LGW

| here are some more additions to my Cyganr lists Captain Jonas Murdoch [Cyganr Attachment]   Cygnar Rangers  I will use Jonas mainly when I have a need to utilize a merc unit. as by taking him he adds to the unit and makes them act like a Cygnar unit rather then a common merc unit. Will post more pics of my Cyganr as I get some more... planning on getting a few more warjacks and a Colossal when it comes out in June. Cheers LGW _________________  |
