Defiler (Cryx)

Spring cleaning time has also hit my painting desk. Some time ago friend of mine sent me printed fire burst. At first I wanted to use if for Bolt Action US army but all in all dropped this idea - M1 flamethrower was simply way to small for such a burst.
So it's been waiting for the proper moment. 

As it happened there was old Cryx Defiler piece staggering around painting station. It's equipped with solid nozzle which is just perfect for little cinematic effect.

I like original Cryx color scheme, but I like "realistic" painting even better. Most of painting is just simple airbrusing upgraded with washes and dry pigments. Works surprisingly well if done clean. Red is natural opposite color to green so the burst was painted like flame instead of fluff-wise acid spit. For the opponents I chose oldie Stalker bonejack and bunch of mechanithralls - old, dry corpses simply burn like hell!

I had lots of fun working on this lil' pest - hope you like it:

  1. Simply great: the contrasting green/red effect is sure to impress...almost like a blaze! Are the Cryx robots?

  3. Cheers guys!

    @Rodor: Cryx is faction of evil doers from Warmachine game. Among their forces there are evil wizards, reanimated corpses and "steampunk" style constructs fuelled with necrotite - soul based fuel iirc 😈

    @LuckGod: Glad you like it! It's hard to believe Stalker was painted ~10 years ago! O_o

    1. Thank you!
      Bady days Armorcast had lots of similar cinematic effects in offer, now I am pretty sure there are lots of stl files available. Maybe it's high time to consider purchasing 3D printer 🤔
