I love Warcasters that can really do a beat down on the offensive instead of just sitting back and playing defensive, hence the reason I always seem to fall back and play with ‘Butcher 1’. Well I finally got another beat down Warcaster for my Khador army in ‘Karchev the Terrible’MAN IN THE MACHINE “Karchev is a living model but is neither warjack nor a warrior model. He has a damage frid and suffers damage like a warjack.......”
With 34 boxes of damage, he has the most boxes of all my Warcasters, and hopefully can last longer on the battlefield, he can also be REPAIRABLE from my ‘Battle Mechaniks’ or if I decide to run my ‘Gobber Tinker’ also.
He has a DEF 12, ARM 19 so he can easily be hit in melee, but his his ARM (+2 in melee) should help keep him alive. For his damage output, he has a SP10 gun POW 12 and an Open Fist P+S 15 and his Sunder P+S 19 with a RNG of 2. Very similar to a ‘Juggernaut’ in regards to damage output, but he can also cast spells. He has two very useful spells, BATTLE-CHARGED granting his battlegroup Countercharge, and JUMPSTART that allows his battlegroup to stand up and are no longer stationary.
Now I just need to get in a few test games with him and see how he actually does on the tabletop. My plan is to run him with a couple of ‘Greylord Forge Seers’ to help with the Focus on the Warjacks, so I have those models next on the painting table.

I really do not prefer painting Units, but they have to get done also, so I tend to assembly line my Unit models. Honestly I do not think they came out to shabby. In order to try and save some time on the “death clock”, I have been leaning more towards playing the “Jaws of Wolf” theme which is usually a Warjack heavy list. Well with all those Warjacks, I need a Unit that can repair them. While base to base, each ‘Battle Mechanik’ model can heal a Warjack for D3 damage removal. This is very beneficial when you really need that axe arm back on your ‘Juggernaut’. One problem I am still trying to learn with them is keeping them all in Command range while trying to heal all my different Warjacks.
Very similar to my ‘
What can be better than starting off a new month and painting quarter than with a finished model. I finally got around to sit down and get some painting completed (along with some gaming) over the last couple of days. It actually feels good to have another model finished, it has been way too long (April 5, 2018).
This past weekend my Khador ‘Man-O-War Assault/Siege Chariot’ arrived from Black Anchor Heavy Industries (Privateer Press), and I was so busy putting our main bathroom back together that I forgot I received the package till yesterday afternoon. Once I remembered about it, I had to open it and take a few pictures and I wanted to check out the BAHI truckers hats that came with it.
Yesterday was the last day to pre-order a Khador 
I almost forgot to post this today (I was deep in thought about my Hordes game tonight) but I finally was able to finsh my ‘Decimator’ Warjack for my Khador army. I started this model awhile ago and just was slowly adding colors to him as I had time, well last night I decided to actually finish him up. This model came from the battlegroup box and I did not realize how crappy the plastic was until I started to paint him. I should have taken some more time to really look him over and clean him up before I primed him. I have another Khador battlegroup box on my shelf, when I get to those models I’ll be sure to really look them over.
It has been a little over two years since I last painted a Warmachine Mercenary model (mostly now it is my Hordes models with a few Khador), but this Solo, ‘Orin Midwinter’ is needed in my Minions list I am working on for the NOVA Open at the end of August and it gives me my first painted model for the month of April.
I have another Hordes model completed this week for Trollbloods and it is another Warbeast painted in my new green scheme. Today I present the ‘Earthborn Dire Troll’. 
With these two fine ladies my AdeptiCon Warmachine/Hordes ‘Who’s The Boss’ list is now complete. Just like with yesterday’s Unit, these ladies were meant to just be painted quickly. We are also on the last day of February so tomorrow starts off a new month and month to have some fun with some models. All my models are ready for AdeptiCon so I can take a little time on work on some Trollbloods and maybe through in a Guild Ball Blacksmith model every now and then.
“Git-R-Done” was about all I was thinking when I started working on my 2 Units of ‘Kayazy Eliminators’ this past Sunday. For one I did not even realize I owned these Units until I decided to dig through my gaming bag, and two, AdeptiCon is not that far away and I wanted them done for the ‘Who’s The Boss’ Tournament. I am OK with them, I am not one who goes out and wins or wants to win painting awards, I just prefer to play with painted models (anything is better than bare metal, plastic or just plain primer).
I have been putting off getting these models completed the last few weeks, but Friday night and yesterday I sat my but down in the painting chair and got them completed. Nothing too fancy with these guys (just a speed paint) to have them completed and table top quality. As I mentioned yesterday, painting Units are boring for me. I did do a quick compare of my ‘Winter Guard Infantry’ I painted many years ago, and these ‘Winter Guard Rifle Corps’ actually do not look too bad compared to them. They will fit right in with my ‘dirty’, ‘war-torn’ look I have with my Khador army.
After finally just sitting on my painting table assembled and primed for days, I finally made some progress on my Khador ‘Winter Guard Rifle Corps’. For some reason I have not had the passion to complete this Unit. I am not much into painting Units anymore and prefer painting the Warjacks/Warbeasts, Warcaster/Warlocks and Solos. That is probably why I also like to paint Guidl Ball so much, each model is unique. Well it can definitely show on these guys and will look good on the table top from 10’ away.
Now back to a few Minion models for the week and we start it all off with the final models (Unit) needed for my half of the 2018 AdeptiCon Warmachine/Hordes Team Tournament with ‘Boil Master & Spirit Cauldron’.
Sundays are usually my day to prep models for the upcoming week, no different today. Since I am still undecided what my plans are for AdeptiCon 2018, I need to get myself prepared and start building my Khador ‘Winterguard Rifle Corps’, and these guys were not fun to build at all. I spoiled myself lately with the new resin models and metal models that I forgot about all the little pieces that need to be glued on plastic models.
Since I opened the Khador Battlegroup box and painted the Juggernaut from there not long ago, I decided the other day to go ahead and assemble the Warcaster Lord Kozlov from the box. Really not sure how much playing time he will see, unless I can find a Journeyman League to play in, but I did not want to have an opened model unfinished.
