Battle report: Cryx vs Khador

Since oldie Warmachine is back in action again (you might have noticed recently Privateer Press stuff got pile of shame rescuing priority) my One True Foe and I decided to bring some full metal minis to the gaming bunker for 50 points skirmish battle, on ancient dragons boneyard. 

To be honest it was kinda special event:
not only it's been ages since we were playing Warmachine, but also most or my opponent's army has actually been painted! Not by himself, but apart from Doom Reavers squad and a war dog, whole army was properly painted, based etc. Because of that I decided such a special battle also deserved special setting. For years I was looking for any idea what to do with these old bones, and as it turned out - these are great dead ancient dragnon's skull proxy 馃榿

It's been lots of fun - hope to play some more Warmachine soon, especially because I've been working on another pair of Deathripper bonejacks recently...

So here they are: both armies circling around ancient dragon's remains trying to get opportunity to strike:

Cryx's steel fist turned into heaps of scorching metal after Butcher's furious charge:

The final duel: this time Asphyxious was much better swords... eee... eee... forksman!

Pics enchanced by my One True Foe - looking forward for re-match so I can hopefully see burning Khador junk!

    1. Tak - prawdziwa czacha smoka albo czego艣 innego ^^
      Znalaz艂em w lesie, wyczy艣ci艂em i mam. Tak na prawd臋 to mix dw贸ch czaszek: g贸ra i d贸艂 s膮 z r贸偶nych zestaw贸w, ale dla potrzeb sto艂u si臋 nadaje 馃槈

  3. Fantastic looking game! I've always been tempted by Warmachine but as the editions moved on and instead of a few Warjacks, a caster and a small number of infantry, it seemed to bloat to require tons of figures.

    Seeing your lovely armies though, I'm wondering about picking up something to paint as they're such characterful sculpts!

  4. Cheers fellas!
    Glad you like these toys. Working on Warmachine stuff is really pleasant 'cause you don't really need much terrain and big armies to play full scale game. In fact WM should be played on 48" x 48" field - we just like it bit bigger 馃榿
