Scourge Bringer and Frozen North are the beginnings and the Legion of Everblight are at the centre of it all. I’ve been updating my Legion forces to get them ready to fight and the Striders ...

Pirate Queen Skarre: Painting Guide

I got a chance to paint up the new (2009) sculpt for Skarre a couple of nights ago. It took about 4 hours to paint, but if you painted more areas the same colour or had fewer highlights it could be a lot faster. Here’s a quick step-by-step painting guide.

    Kommander Sorscha Kratikoff: Painting Guide

    I’m finishing off a few models before my Christmas project. First up is the new Kommander Sorscha from the plastic Khador Battle Box set. I converted and painted the Juggernaut into Beast-09 and the Destroyer will probably find its way onto eBay (I have two already). I didn’t put too much time into ...

    Battlefield in a Box!

    As a small Thank You for hosting me for the day in Orlando I decided months ago that I’d try to make Clay a small gift – a battlefield in a box. We used it during the Scourge Bringer campaign. The idea was pretty simple. I knew whatever I brought over to him ...

    Skarre vs Saeryn (25pt Battle Report; VASSAL)

    Joe and I got a chance to play a game on VASSAL last night. We decided to play a 25pt game with my Cryx facing his Legion. Joe won the last Warmachine/Hordes tournament we had using Saeryn, so he’s well practiced with her. This would be my first time playing Skarre, the Pirate Queen. The ...
