Warcry: Raptoryx

The last of the Warcry miniatures (not including the warbands) from the starter set. 6 Raptoryx's. These were fun to paint, I particularly like how the wings came out. Red and Orange Contrast, washes of Red (Crimson Carbide?) & Orange (Fuegan Orange?), followed with drybrushes of Troll Slayer Orange and Git Yellow.

I've noticed that when I upload the pictures, the large picture (if you click the image below) have been showing up with their color reversed. It's odd, since I'm able to find the original size image by editing the url and that looks fine. Hopefully that bug is fixed now, but if it's not I'll start to add a link directly to the larger image.

Warcry Furies

As my son keeps pointing out, there should really only be 3 of these. He also thinks their beards should have been blue. These are the Furies from the Warcry Start Set. They are nice models. I must admit, I had issues painting the fangs, they were really difficult for some reason. I don't think they had much definition. Everything else came out okay.

A brief painting guide:

Undercoat: Grey Seer

 Red Skin: Blood Angels Contrast, Wild Ride Highlight, Fire Dragon Highlight.

Tan Underbelly: Zandrax, Wash of Agrax, Highlight Ushabti Bone.

Beards: Git Yellow, Orange Wash, Git Yellow and White Highlights.

Wings: Contrast Black, Dawnstone highlights/srtreaks, Wash of Naggaroth Night

Horns & Talons: Skeleton Horde, Screaming Skull Highlight

Base: Wyldwood Contrast, Deathclaw Brown drybrush

Stone: Grey Contrast, Admin Grey drybrush

Warcry Starter Terrain

Finally finished the Warcry Starter terrain.

There are 6 pieces, the other 3 pieces not pictured look pretty identical to the first picture. I like these, they painted up pretty fast, and I think they look pretty good. The wood is Wyldwood Brown over admin grey, followed by a drybrush of Mournfang Brown and an even lighter drybrush of Admin Grey. The other bits I followed my standard formula for ruins.

The only bit I'm not happy with these models is the two skeleton's hanging from the side of the bell tower. Those things are pretty fragile, and will likely break off during storage. I doubt I'll keep gluing them back on, once that happens.

Chimera

If two heads are better than one ... how about 3 (4 if you count the snake head)!

It's GW's Chimera. I didn't like the "official" paint scheme, so I tried to keep it more natural. It was fun to paint and it's a better miniature than it looks, but not as good as some of the other Chimera's that are on the market. I still like it though.

She'll go in my Beastman army and can be used as an independent monster in Warcry.

I'm not totally in a hobby slump (contrary to what the one model I finished this month might indicate). For some odd reason, I've decided to mostly do assembly. I put together about 100 Skaven in the last month, as well as, more Warcry monsters and some random metal Moonclan Grots I found.
