Battle report: Cryx vs Khador

Last month the gaming bunker was whole shaking because of warjacks fighting in the name of their warcasters, and recently there was the second round of the everlasting struggle! This time Khador led by Butcher faced Lich Lord Terminus' assault force. 

Must say despite the fact Terminus is truly awesome miniature, I am not the biggest fan of this warcaster. It's more like heavy assault helljack, rather then battle wizard so it doesn't fit my fav "sneaky" Cryx tactics. But each and every painted model deserves to be fielded once in a a while, so decision was made to prepare jack-heavy gaming force:

-    Terminus,

-    Deathjack,

-    Reaper,

-    Seether,

-    some Mechainthralls,

-    Necrotech,

-    Bloat thrall.

In the opposite corner there was Khador team led by Butcher supported by Kodiak, Spriggan, some mounted dude and that unique, huge heavy jack with 2 bombards and lotta special rules. Truly pain in the ass!

This time apart from classic "caster kill" victory condition, we also added gathering victory points option: these could be obtained from truck wreck. After each round if your model controls the marker, you get 1 VP. If you can get 3 VP - you win.

So here're some pics taken by Khador war correspondent. Just like before - it's just bunch of pics rather then battle report. Only few photos were usable but some of them have been spiced with special effects straight from Industrial Light and Janiak - thanx mate!😁

So here they are:

Deathjack just reaching the marker (looking at these F/X can see now I gotta put the model back on painting desk 😵‍💫 ):

Deathjack and Kodiak excavating victory points from torching wreck:

The other angle: Spriggan hoping to smash through dead-meat wall to get Terminus:

View from the spy-drone:

Bloat thrall hoping to provide any long range support:

Some mid-field manoeuvres:

And combat of the game: Reaper reeling Khador behemoth jack just to make Seether and mechanithralls charge possible. Whole this combined attack didn't make Khador beast fall down!

Hope to see some more Warmachine action anytime soon. That game is just way too cool to be forgotten. Also hope my opponent will finally hire his wife to paint his army so he doesn't have to "paint" models in post production...

Death chicken herd done!

Apparently I've finally got all death-chickens painted! Re-painted actually. Yaaay! \o/

Nightwretches was the very last pair of deatch-chockens waiting for the fresh colors. They have actually been painted long, long time ago but it's been totally ditterent painting standard, and I didn't like it at all. Plus it didn't fit "modern warwafe" olive Cryx. I am double happy these are painted 'cause I can finally paint something else then another olive thing ^^

Just like Defiler and Deathrippers - the latest bonejacks got olive tone, but this time bit more dark. I run out of most green colors, so to make proper colors I mix light olive green from Vallejo line with browns, violets or whatever, and this time I must've added too much of it. Anyway, they look fine alltogether. 

So here they are: led by the most evil shepherd of all - Lich Lord Terminus:

And the Nightwretches - still undamaged and fully operational:

These look almost the same so one of them got a decal so they can be recognized on rooster sheet:

And the pure herd - ready for action!
