WM: Mercenaries Phinneus Shae (Warcaster)

I know I have been slacking a little bit lately.  It has been two weeks since I last painted a model.  Yesterday I actually sat down and decided to get started on the new Mercenaries that  my son received.  He decided that he wanted to do a themed 'pirate' list around "Captain Phinneus Shae"

Daily Chronicle: 2/17/2011 'More Mercenaries'

Since I was out of town last week in Las Vegas for an extended Anniversary weekend, not much has been done on the modeling/painting front.  When we got back Saturday night, the next few days were spent playing catch-up games for our 'in-house' WM/H League and also getting in a few games for 'Shattered Grounds'.  For myself personally, I am playing 'Shattered Grounds' for the 'overall map' aspect of the campaign and not the 'in-store' coin.  I am enjoying the game for the game and the global outcome rather than trying to win a store coin.

WM: Protectorate Wracks (Solo)

With Super Bowl XLV being played today, I wanted to paint something that would be fast and easy.  What can be any easier or faster than painting some "Wracks" for Protectorate of Menoth.  Base coat, dry brush, wash and voila, finished.  Just in time for the game this evening.

WM: Khador Kossite Woodsmen (Unit)

It has been quite awhile since I did some work on models for my own Khador army (the Khador "War Dog" was the last model I painted for  myself) but as I mentioned yesterday, I was determined to get my "Kossite Woodsmen" finished today.  I had slowly worked on these guys through out the week while also working on some Protectorate of Menoth models for my son, but this morning I woke up bright and early to get these guys finished.

"Kossite Woodsmen"

Besides working on some Protectorate of Menoth models this past week for my son's army, I have also been slowly working on some "Kossite Woodsmen" for my Khador army.  Seeing how each of the models in this Unit is unique, this Unit is taking me a little bit longer to paint.  It is just like painting the equivalent of six Solo models.

WM: Protectorate Vanquisher (Warjack)

My "Kossite Woodsmen" are starting to feel jealous.  The other day when I 'primed' "Amon Ad-Raza" I also 'primed' my son's "Vanquisher" model for The Protectorate of Menoth.  The "Vanquisher" model was one of the models my son purchased this past weekend at the "Mercenary Market".

WM: Protectorate High Allegiant Amon Ad-Raza (Warcaster)

Last Saturday my son received a 'steal' of a deal at our local game store (Empire Games).  About every three months that hold what is called a 'Mercenary Market', individuals can come in and sell any wargaming items that they want.  The store handles all the transactions and at the end of the day, the seller receives a store gift card for the total amount they sold.  No fee's for table space, only drawback is that you receive store credit.

Painting Points: January 2011

Not a stellar month nor a bad month regarding Painting Points for January 2011.  Part of that reason is that I enjoy painting the Warcaster's and Solo's and those only earn me '1 Point'.  I am alright with that though.  The feeling of getting that model finished is well worth more than '1 Point'.  Since picking up Warmachine/Hordes, I also no longer have the '10 Point' Vehicles I used to paint for Warhammer 40K.
