So I return with tidings! My apologies guys for the lack of fresh material recently, I’ve been pretty busy with work and lifes other little joys and most of my free time has gone into preparing for Smogcon! On this subject I do have a few little things to show so lets get to it!
JT-Y was very polite to answer my questions about conversions during one of the last articles so I thought I’d return the favor and pimp this out for him.
Now, hand on my heart, this is my favorite paint job ever. It is just perfect in my eyes and if I can achieve even a fraction of the result on my own models I will be a very happy man! Also a fairly renowned force as it appeared on the PP Insider!
No surprise then that he is not going to let this go at a bargain price so be prepared to dish out some serious dosh if you want to get your hands on it. More photos after the break but you can find the original sale post here.
Now as I touched on in my previous post Warmachine is not a game you associate with conversions. A range that provides only static metal models with no interchangeable bitz or options is pretty weak when you compare it to say, Warhammer, where nearly every model can easily be made to look different.
Now don’t get me wrong I’m not complaining, this does prevent a lot of gaming shenanigans that games like Warhammer suffer from like laying down space marines, oversized vehicles, winged tyrants and all the other cheesy modelling advantages that I’m sure you’ve heard of. Combined with PP’s simple Base Size=Height/LOS system it makes the game mechanic perfectly simple.
However as a modeller, who enjoys having good looking models and isn’t too keen on duplicates it does sometimes rub me up the wrong way and recently, starting with the winterguard, I’ve had the urge to experiment a bit more in having a more unique looking Warmachine army. The problem is that to stop people abusing the system PP have a very formal ruling included in the new 2012 Steamroller pack.
So I’ve got a new conversion to show you all and at the same time we’ll take a look at the ruling and see why it’s allowed.
First of all sorry for the lack of posts guys, Its been a pretty busy January but sadly not so much in hobbying. Work and other assorted niceties have kept me away from the brush but I have managed to get a few things done.
I’ve had a good few games with the new steamroller 2012 pack so look for a few posts concerning that and how I need to adapt my Khador to the scenarios and rules! In the mean time I have some new winterguard to show!
The holiday hiatus is over. Mince pies and assorted niceties have been digested, a fun time was had on new years eve and most importantly I still remember it all!
So to all you readers Happy New Year, I hope it brings good things for all of you! So what have I been up to since the last post? Well in all fairness not much but slowly getting back into the groove.
So Bell of Lost Souls held an article writing contest and since I’m getting into the whole blogging malarkey I thought I’d give it a go and as the subject is pretty interesting and relevant to everyone in the hobby I thought I’d post it up here as well!
