Painting the crazy bit box models!

There were more bits in the bit box, so we put together some more models.

I am not quite sure what these monstrosities are, but they seem to be both many-armed and well-armed, with as many weapons as we could fit.

More crazy models! 

Painting time!

The kids were really looking forward to painting their self-designed miniatures. I gave them a layer of black spray primer, and then they started painting.

The models get a layer of paint.

After completing the paint job they are ready to go out and "play miniatures". Pretty funny to hear them refer to the WARMACHINE models when they are out playing. I'm pretty sure my son was declaring he was trying to debuff his friend with a Parasite spell just now... :D

Edit: He was not done painting.

Who needs the assembly instructions anyway

My son has a friend visiting today. He thought my WARMACHINE and HORDES models were super cool. I asked if they wanted to paint something, and brought out my box of unused models and bits. I thought they would just pick out some models to assemble and paint, maybe a pirate or something, but of course they had a much, much better idea. Superglue and greenstuff can make anything attach to anything, so here we go...

BEHOLD! Their creations!

The Dire Runt Strangler

Always short, always angry, and always really really hungry, the Dire Runt Strangler goes for the throat, or whatever parts he can reach on his unfortunate victim.

 The Pyg Dual Shieldgunner

Sporting classy twin matching shields, the Pyg Dual Shieldgunner cowers behind his shields until the time has come to strike at point blank range with his single-barreled dual-grip pistol.

The Cyclone Flightknight

This clumsy knight walked into the Warjack factory one day, fell onto the assembly line, and ended up with slightly fewer arms, twin chain guns, and a rocket pack. He has never been happier as he whizzes through the air, unloading red hot ammo on the enemies of Cygnar.

I can't wait to see how these will be painted...

Edit: now I know. :D

Janyssa and her Rock Wall is painted

I haven't done much modeling yet, and I had this idea for a long time of Janyssa's wall bursting from the ground. It seemed like a good starting project. I also love the whelps, and I had a spare blister pack lying around the house. So I went for this - three rune stones bursting from the ground, accompanied with a couple of troll whelps. The base is two Warhammer cavalry bases glued together, the runestones are made of grey stuff, and the flat stones on the ground are the same plaster stones I'm using on all my models. If anything I would have wanted sharper edges on the stones, but I painted in some edge highlights to compensate. I think it worked out pretty well!

Ever since I first saw it I felt that the Janyssa model had a kind of goofy pose, like she's a Master of Cenermonies or possibly a dancer at a cabaret (or both). So, in keeping with my hat theme on the infantry I decided to give her a stylish top hat. So here she is, rocking it out with her Whelps.

Janyssa will rock you (rock you)
