Warmachine: Cryx: Defiler and Deathrippers

Warmachine: Cryx

 I have not posted to this site in quire some time. Tonite I will recify that. Last month my daughter and I went to a gaming store where we saw of few folks playing Warmachine vs Horde. It looked like a lot of fun. So I asked Alanna if she wanted me to paint an army for her and she said that that would be really cool. 

I began to do a bit more research...

Sites:

Battle College (Army Building Advice and Pics)

Privateer Press (Game Publisher)

Pirvateer Press (Video Channel)

Hordes (Video Tutorial)

Warmachine (Video Tutorial)

Then Alanna and I talked about armies...Alanna decided on the Warmachine-Cryx. (Logo Image Credit: http://gallery.burrowowl.net/index.php?q=/image/11718.jpg )


It looked like the models would be neat looking and fun too paint for me too. And I thought that it would be interesting to paint them with a darker paint w/ some green and glowing special effect paint.

I also thought that the Army needed a name and a theme...And the "Coven of the Zodiak" was born. I decided to paint symbols of the zodiak to make the models appear more unique unto themselves.


I wanted the Warjacks to look like they were made out of black shiny metals, green more expensive metal, glowing and green necrotiic energies, and a bit of bone... like the box but darker and less of a steampunk feel...

What is in the Battlegroup Box?:
  • 1 Defiler
  • 2 Deathrippers
  • Slayer
  • Warwitch: Deneghra

Ok so now to break the process into more managable chuncks...

Phase one: 

  • 1 Defiler
  • 2 Deathrippers

Steps: 

  1. Assemble
  2. Prime
  3. Paint
  4. 2nd Coat of Paint
  5. Add Symbols
...and here are (from left to right)
  • Taurus (Deathripper)
  • Aries (Deathripper)
  • Sagittarius (Defiler) ...in the foreground


Next, the Warcaster...
