Tau piranha

I got these on the day that the current tau codex came out and like the look so much I painted them both in about 4 days because I loved the models so much. The times I used them they did ok for me but I was never impressed to much game play wise.

Warmachine battle report Khador VS. Cryx

 this game was played the same night as my last report so it will also be lacking in details but i will do my best to recount This adventure. This was after I moved up on turn one 

 after taking the picture of the table on turn one I apparently skipped most of the game but the one widow maker is behind his group because I actually went for my feat and froze him in place due to not being careful enough with my facing with sorscha my juggernaut was also frozen .  

 this is where my Juggernaut got smashed the only thing left was his legs system wise. making him really kind of useless. So don't expect much out of him for the rest of the game. 

 To save my caster i felt i had to remove the slayer helljack so my destroyer walked in combat and crippled him up a bit  but it left my caster open to the little death jack again this time he got less lucky and only wounded her.

 my Juggernaut went down and sorscha knocked the head off of the deathjack I think 

 the slayer died to the destroyer and i tryed to shoot his caster with the widow makers doing a little damage in the process

Ah the last turn I tryed to go big and dodge around and kill his caster the destroyer got away with out further damage then it all ready had  the widow makers missed there shots but i still had my trump card sorscha her self all she had to do was walk out of combat with two little chicken jacks with little melee power between them now that the one had its head cut off and the other was a ranged damage type. She was focus stacked so she had exter armor from that and was going to have the chance to shoot her gun and fire off her power 12 ranged attack spell 3 times there was a great chance that i could kill his caster. Sadly it was not to be the melee warjack missed but the ranged one landed his free attack and killed her. so i am now down 2 games to 1 with thewarhost. But i am sure we will get more games in soon and I will have a chance at revenge.

Warmachine battle report Khador VS. Cryx

  Ok right off the bat i am going to ask forgiveness. I did not get around the writing this report until a week after the game and there were 2 of them played that night so both of these reports will be short and to the point or at least that is my excuse for not adding all the details that most people like.

Any way the shot above is out set up it is the same 15 point battle as the first game (actually now that i look at it I seem to have missed the set up this is after the cryx first turn and all his warjacks have run at my lines. the first turn is all about posturing and right now i am feeling good about this one. 

I was feeling good about this turn because i had the chance to keep my blockers up where they needed to be and i thought i was totally safe in fact i decided to go for the gusto and attempt to snipe his spell shade with my widow makers. If it works he wont get his free spell for the rest of the game when fighting the Cryx it is a real pain to deal with the 3 clouds they can put down that block line of sight if i could cut him down to 2 it would be a huge advantage. But i should have shot the little death jack that was closer to me. I greatly underestimated them in this game due to shooting there heads off in the first one before they hit me.  

looks like we are time skipping forward as you can see my widow makers payed dearly for ignoring the deathjack and worst of all they could not knock out the damn spell shade  he had one box left for the rest of the game.

on this round he decided to go aggressive and charged my heavy warjacks. I thought my luck turned around when his warcaster only all most killed my destroyer BUT the two systems  left where my executioner ax in the right arm and the cortex. This meant that I could give the warjack focus and attack more and hit harder. A fully loaded Khador warjack can kill a warcaster in one turn. but not today sadly I did some damage but he was not dead.    

last turn my poor lady sorscha got killed by that damn deathjack that my widow makers passed up there shots at on turn one.. lesson learned and this brought my games with  thewarhost to one win one loss.

The Beast lives!

As you can see I never got paint started on the beast there was just no inspiration with the missing parts but it makes for a nice way of seeing what was missing and is not installed on him.

 As you can see they also sent me the hull piece that was a bit misshapen and the new one is an excellent example of what white mettle casting can do it is sharp and as close to perfect as I have ever seen.  The down side to that is I all ready installed the old one and it is pined in there quite well if i do say so my self. So I think I will have to make my self a wreck marker. It comes up in games a lot so it is time to get one done. 

Gothic Church part: II

This is why you check your measurements several times  before putting in to much time on a project. On the plus side I think i can work with this to get what I want. I just need to freehand the trim for the top ledges  but I may have to re start my eagle if it looks to wrong with the wings not matching the slope of the roof. 

Khador War dog part: I

 This model is one of the things that makes me love painting for playing warmachine. I am loving painting this dog between him and some of the non heroic female models its just so different from what I am used to You can't help but enjoy the break from power armor.   

Tau devil fish

It's a shame that I never finished this up it was a start I was very proud of but I was on my way out of playing tau at this point But i still like the patten  that i put on them.
