While we are waiting...

So since I am still waiting for my carnivean pieces I have continued on my cygnar for cancon.

I have painted the black 13th before but wasn't happy with the results.  So this is my redo. So far I have only finished Lynch. Will post pics when the next two are complete.

These pics are all from my phone, do don't be too critical.

Quick Update

I know in my last post I said that I'd received the replacement Carnivean and was ready to go with the BBB. Well PP has done it again. I did receive the carnivean however they gave me two front torso sections and no rear torso sections. Lets see how long it takes them to send the missing part this time.

I will keep you posted. I guess in the meantime... more cygnar to be painted.

Finally I can Start!

So I have been waiting on my missing Carnivean before I started to put together and paint my Legion Battle Box for our escalation campaign, the Big Battlebox Bash. Assembling will be done tonight and later this week I will post my starting list and my thoughts.

As fate would have it, last night I finished my current unit I have been working on. I have always loved the Ashlynn d'Elyse picture in the Mercs book so wanted to do an Ashlynn army. First unit, of course, is the Arcane Tempest Gun Mages (UA to come).


Purple for Amethyst Rose Gun Mages and for Lael. I am very happy with how these turned out.

NOTE: My tripod broke so this was the only half decent pic I could take. Promise future pics will be more professional.

There were actually partially painted from my cygnar, just a quick colour change here and there. I also haven't finished painting the arc design on the bases.

With regards to the Battle Box Bash, another member of our illustrious group has put started a blog (Page 5 Violation). I HIGHLY recommend watching his blog as his modelling and painting skills far outweigh anything I could produce.

So currently the blog list stands at:

Ado: http://get-behind-me-dice-gods.blogspot.com/
Aris: http://page5violation.blogspot.com/

Check them out, they are both good painters so expect some really good advice and tutorials from them.

Battle Box Bash - My build blog

I started playing Warmachine in version 1. In our local area there were very few players actively playing so gave it up for continuing with Warhammer.

Well we were somewhat disenfranchised with the new warhammer, and as it turns out, we were not alone. We took up Warmachine as an alternative and then soon realised that the game was becoming hugely popular in Australia.

So for the last two or three years I have been slowly building my Cygnar. I have loved my little blue guys (or my case brown) but wanted to build a Hordes army.

Enter the Battle Box Bash (rules here: http://get-behind-me-dice-gods.blogspot.com/2011/11/big-battle-box-bash.html). We are doing kind of a Journeyman League to enable us to all get a second (or in some cases third) army up an running.

So for my Battle Box Bash I will be using Legion. Legion appealed to me as basically noone else was doing it. The models are also fantastic and a couple of the warcasters really piqued my attention.

I will post pics of my progress, game upates and links to various blog posts that I find interesting. Also look for WIP pics of my mini's as they progress. I will also post any I prepare for my other factions.

No pics as yet as my Legion Warpack box came without my Carnivean so I am waiting for that to arrive from Privateer Press.

In the meantime check out the Blog above (Get Behind me Dice Gods). Ado has been gaming for over 20 years so expect some good content from him.

Also there is our club website (http://qlegs.wordpress.com/). You will find us at almost all of the club meetings throughout the year and we are always happy for a game.
