Skorne Praetorian Ferox Painted

 

AC-2 Bison Proxy - Better photos

 I was over my friend's house tonight and got a chance to take some better photos of the proxy I made him for the AC2-Bison.

 

 

The 3D print we'd used initially had a triangle on the side, which I used paint to convert to a Khador symbol. I also had a leftover Khador symbol I'd initially made for my Khador bunker which I mounted on the front. I think it looks pretty good there.

Skorne Catapult Crew Painted

I just finished painting the Skorne Catapult Crew, and I used them this weekend in a game for the first time. In MK3, I'd never wanted to use the only theme that allowed the catapult, but now it's in the only MK4 Skorne army that exists, and getting a range 16 POW18 on a heavy is pretty good, especially when that blast can take out support.

The first photo shows how I based the model with dirt from my backyard, which turned out well. I also used Army Painter wasteland grass tufts on the bases.

There's a ton of detail on these models, and they took quite a while. The blue contrast paint on the spyglass, flesh wash to bring out Skorne facial details, and the gloss over the green gem on the catapult to add shine are the primary things I'd mention on these models. 

 

AC-2 Bison Proxy

I wish I'd gotten better photos before handing this off to my friend who plays Khador. This first photo was before I'd painted the Khador symbol over the black triangle on the side. 

 

The second photo is before I'd even painted the Khador symbol in the front. I sculpted that one out of green stuff back when I'd built my khador bunker, and I've been waiting for the right time to use it.

 

If I get a chance, I really need to go back and take some more photos of the actual finished model.

MK4 Unit Movement

We've started playing MK4 games, and amongst all the things we've had to get used to, none is more of a challenge than the new way units move, with a single model charging and all the other models teleporting to within two inches of where it ends. 

In the below situation, my opponent thought his Orgoth caster was safe, but I was able to charge the caster with an entire unit of Cygnar Legionnaires.

If the charging model advanced at least 3” during its charge movement, the first attack with a melee weapon made by each model in the unit this activation targeting a model/unit engaged by the charging model are charge attacks. If a charge attack hits, the damage roll is automatically boosted. Melee attacks made by models in this unit targeting models/units not engaged by the charging model are not charge attacks.

So yeah, that one surprised us both, I think. The whole unit, with its two inch reach, was able to charge the caster and win the game despite the caster's two focus.
