Carnivean Progress

This post was written last Friday, just before departing for holidays. I had hoped to have fininshed the Carnivean by the time we went away but it was not to be.

For the duration of the entire week I had dedicated my hobby time to painting skin… white skin. Following the scheme used on the Shredders I had to get the skin pretty much white with some of the Sky Blue remaining in the recessess, just the hint of a shadow.

By the end of Friday it was as white as it was going to be. Once back I can go in with the blue and purple washes to add a bit of depth and variation across the skin – as much as I like the idea of the big man being able to camouflage himself amongst the snow and rocks, I do want him to look alive at least.

Once this is complete I can get on with the claws and and final details needed (might give his teeth another highlight looking at the image above). Looking forward to get this model finished so I can get another couple of 'easy wins' under my painting belt and get my wargroup to a healthy size.

Recon From The Menoth Camp

You've seen my (slow) progress over the last few weeks as I get my Legion of Everblight army into shape. You may also have seen my fledgling Cryx army being constructed as I cover bases in both Warmachine and Hordes arenas.

I thought I would share some photos Bull sent over of his Protectorate of Menoth force. He's had it since we first dabbled with Warmachine several years ago, gathering dust until we bought our Hordes starter sets at Salute earlier this year. Once his Circle of Orboros starter was complete he has been reading up on the changes in MkII rules to Menoth and giving his models a coat of paint.

The worrying thing for me is, as this photo hints at, he has an awful lot of warjacks gathered – a lot of them heavy 'jacks. From what little reading I'm doing of my own, Menoth are a power to be reckoned with.

Looks like I've got one hell of a fight coming my way!

Broadside 2012

For those of you who don't know the Broadside 2012 show is happening on 10th June over in Sittingbourne. It is still a fledgling show so needs the support of the local gamers. A couple of well known gaming magazines have let the organisers down this year with advertising (or lack of) so it's down to us to do our bit.

The show is run by Milton Hundred Wargames Club and you can find all the details here.

Now, I appreciate it's still a good two weeks away but make sure you mark it on your calendars and even if you can't attend, you can shout about it on your own blog and spread the word!

I'm away on holiday from tomorrow for a week, however, I am trying to get a couple of scheduled posts together so it will seem like I'm still here, just not commenting!
