Stormwall Painted

Its been a long time coming but I got my Stormwall painted!

Stormpods... not much to say really

The coils are not a washed out as the pictures might show

I had a couple of spare Sword knights so I figured they would look good guarding the Stormwall

Overall I'm really happy with how it turned out, I did try painting part of the top torso white but really wasn't happy with it so repainted it black.  

It fits in nicely with the rest of my army and I can't wait to start using him again! I'm play it painted from now on this year so I think I'm mainly painting things I really want to use.

Firefly light warjacks Painted

Quick painting update! Finished off my two Firefly light warjacks. Haven't had as much hobby time since Smogcon (Which was awesome) hence less posts. 

Starting up Iron kingdoms RPG soon which I'm really looking forward to, here is a hint of things to come

This lot will be either player characters, NPC's or bad guys

This lot are some gribblies I have put together for the party to fight at some point.

I'll post them once they are painted!

Cylena and the Nyss Hunters converted

I have had a unit of second hand Nyss for a while that I picked up in a trade. They where missing a lot of the scabbards, bows and quivers that are all meant to fit on their backs (somehow)

I saw a great conversion of them using Glade guard parts on the PP forums by PG_Cutthroatcure his thread can be found here.

I picked up a box of Glade guard and got to work.

I unassembled then cleaned up the Nyss

The Glade guard come with 5 different capes. I don't like the one on the left with all the extra details so I didn't use that one.

Aside from Cylena there are 3 different bodies for the grunts. I mixed the capes up so each of the grunt sculpts have different capes and heads. This makes sure each model will look different. 

I really want these guys to stay together so I pinned each component.

The capes are pinned into the right shoulder of each model (the right side has the quiver so is easier to drill into) 

This is the group of 4 grunts with the same body. After I fully assembled the Nyss I used green stuff to join the cape to the hood smoothly to make it look like a single cape.

These guys really have a sense of movement.

Cylena herself! I wanted her to stand out and seeing as she has the least ugly face I decided to keep her as is. I sculpted a hood on the back of her cape to make her fit better with the rest of the unit.

Overall I'm really happy with how they turned out. One of my friends at my local club has already asked me to convert his Nyss for him the same way.

If you would like to commission me to convert a unit of them for your army, send me an email at

Loads of character models Painted

So as a treat to myself I saved painting some of the character models in my two lists for last!
Well I'm now fully painted for my ADR pairing at Smogcon, its been a lot of work but I think its worth it and will look a lot better now I have fully painted armies to put on the table.

Rhupert might be getting tartan treatment in the future on his bagpipes sack.

I cut eEiryss off the building piece she comes on and made her a rock out of green stuff.

I'm happy with how she looks now.

pEiryss is a bit of a derpy model in my opinion but as I don't have the money to buy the No Quarter version (and likely never will) I'm stuck with her, I tried to make her as similar in scheme to eEiryss as I could.

Ragman looks a bit like Scarecrow from Batman... I tried a bit of source light effect coming from his hand. Not as good as I have seen other people do but good enough I'm happy with it!

Aiyana was fun to paint, she had been one of those models I put off for ages due to her being such a nice model I don't want to make a mess of them. But now she is done I'm happy with her.

For a long time I didn't know what colours to paint Holt in, but I finally go there and now he and Aiyana are ready to enable eCaine's assassinations! 

Well that's me fully painted for Smogcon! (well the masters event at least...)

Ace, Sentinel & Strangewayes Painted

Strangeways was another difficult model for me to paint, choosing what colour to paint various bits of him without it looking too bland.

Ace is my newest Cygnar model and I'm pleased to have him painted up this quick! As the character Warjack for my favourite Warcaster I really wanted him painted.

Here Ace is with both pCaine & eCaine!  

The Sentinel Warjack that was eCaines buddy before I got Ace. He's now in the specialists for eCaine's list at Masters events.

I got him second hand when I bought someones entire army. I like the way he's posed as if preforming a slam power attack (what he ends up doing more than shooting when I use him)

So thats all the Warjacks painted for my Masters pairing at Smogcon, just a bunch of character models to paint now as a treat to myself!
