A little progress

Progress has been a little slow lately, largely due to work and the 10 week old sitting on my knee at the moment. Still, here's a few progress shots anyway.





First off, a Death Chicken from my Cryx box set. It's finished apart from a little base work - some water pools and a bit of static grass. Lots of fun in these little critters, only two more to go...


Next up, a WIP picture of the Death Chicken's big daddy, the Slayer.





I'm also assembling a Berserker too, here's the very early stages. It's a fairly fiddly model, but nothing too hard if you take it slowly, and pin the foot!

More than just Menoth...

Well past time for another update. This weekend I played in a small Warmachine tournament at Southcon, which is run by the OMTS. The Warmachine portion was run more as a demonstration with just four players. It seems that there are a number of people playing Warmachine around town, but it has yet to catch on at the local clubs.

We played 400pts, here's the list I used:

Sorscha (71 pts)
Destroyer Warjack (126 pts)
Winterguard (5 + leader, 58 pts)
Winterguard mortar (25 pts)
Widowmakers (53 pts)
Eiryss (29 pts)
Man-O-War Kovnik (34 pts)

Total 396 pts

It was a fairly successful list, with a 1 win, 1 draw record in the 2 games we played. The second game would have probably been a win if we'd played another turn, or if I'd had the sense not to charge my Kovnik into an angry Warjack with a chain attack ;)

It was nice to play something other than Menoth, and hopefully it'll lead to a wider range of opponents in future.

I'll try to get some more interesting pictures up later today...



By the way, this is what Dunedin sunrises can look like.
