I can here it now, I don’t play in tournaments… I may play in a leagues, but most of the time I play for fun.
Next I pulled out a Necrotech, pretty straight forward, steel legs, brass butt, undead flesh (used FoW Cryx as a reference), a little bit of brighter colors on the cables/tubes on his body, a dark color on the cloak/hood… I used the green glow ink wash mixture for the engine vents, chest and googles.. Oh, I had two so I painted both..
Necrtochs need Scrap Thralls. I got a lot of these models in an “I am quitting gaming deal“. A couple of big boxes of stuff. I had two Necrotechs and some Scrap Thralls in a plastic bag. I got another blister of Scrap Thralls so I would have some in case the Necros ever made some more. When I counted the numbers didn’t work. Two Necrotechs and a blister should have given me five Scrap Thralls, I had six… Puzzled, I was (Yoda ?).. I pulled out my Box-o-Cryx. I thought I had 14 Mechanithralls, but when I looked closer, it was twelve and two Scrap Thralls. So I painted eight of them.
The models are a mixture of spare parts and spare body parts. So undead flesh, bones, steel and brass. Green glow on the chest, around the skull and around the engine..
A big part of this list is the cavalry and the solo that supports them. Incorporeal on my turn and starting with a soul token to boost and attack.. Oh yes….
I worked on the Darragh Wrathe and six Soul Hunters in one big bunch. The Soul Hunter have thin legs, but careful they can break. I drilled and pinned the feet to ensure they stayed on the bases.
Undead flesh, bone, brass and steel make up most of it. I used Magenta in a wash over the muscles to bring out some details and color. A lot of Green Glow for the horse part’s chest and areas where it seemed appropriate.
Quite a bit of time and lot of details…
They are pretty gruesome, but shouldn’t they be?
Darragh Wrathe follows the same pattern as the Soul Hunters, I used some Coal Black on his pants, a lot of metal on the horse. His weapon is very thin, but careful with it.
There is a lot of detail on the horse and rider. A lot of choices to make, I did a lot of green glow on his body, like he has a Necrotic engine in his living body. Doesn’t he want to be a Lich?
Till next time,
Just do it!!!
Hi there! Have you had much luck with the army in any games you’ve played? I’m using a similar army that I’m prepping to bring to TempleCon and would love to hear your experiences with it. My army (35 points) is:
Coven
DeathJack
Defiler
Darragh Wrathe
3 soul hunters
5 soul hunters
2 Warwitch sirens
I recently changed to make one unit of the soulhunters a min unit and dropped a Necrotech in favor of the sirens. As the Necrotech didn’t come in as useful as I’d hoped it would.
I have played 2 games with them, nothing worth writing about. I am in MAX painting mode from now to TempleCon.
