Convergence of Cyriss

(Originally posted 10/3013) In my last post I mentioned that I had started a new project that was a little more to my liking after finishing the nightmare that was Scyrah (and fear not, I'll be moving back to 40k for a bit before you know it). For now, though I'm involved in a slow-grow league with some of my gaming buddies, meaning that each month we increase our army size by a certain amount every month while at the same time playing against one another gaining points via pre-planned rules. It's really enjoyable, especially with a game like Warmachine where one model can cover your month of work. Anyway, the army I really wanted to play was Cyriss and after finishing Scyrah it was time to work into them. Below is how I went about making these guys my own, but I must warn you that after a new-camera mishap, over half of the pictures I took have been lost. I'll try and fill in the gaps, though.

Scyrah Complete

(Originally posted 10/18/13) Aaaaaaand boom. I'm finally finished with this project and...words can't really express how much joy that brings me. Screw Scyrah, screw white paint, screw this project! Note that I typed that with a smile on my face. Anywho, time for me to show off the last model and oddly enough the most fun to paint; Eiryss. I finally got to step away from white paint on this model because of her Mercenary-like status. Above is the final shot of this 15pt army (which will not grow any further than this,) and below, the last model. Pictures after the jump.

Quick Basing Tip

(Originally posted 9/25/13) Just a quick update for some of the simplistic techniques I used when getting through my Scyrah battlegroup. The first one is for basing. With the Scyrah, seeing as how I hate this project and wanted it to be over quickly, I found that grass and dirt would be one of the quickest basing routes I could take. However, the perfectionist in me wanted to do grass and dirt correctly; I wanted footprints in the ground and grass surrounding the feet of those walking on it because...well, it's grass. More after the jump.
