I'm fooling around with a bit of Cryx. I played HORDES at a point but now I'd like to get back into gaming warmachine as it's one of the few games being played around my end of Denmark.

Haha! Thanks. I actually took a bit of flak for choosing black... I have decided to paint the army without looking at the models made by others or the background provided by the designers. I'm having more fun that way. :D

GOOD FOR YOU! Using the figure designer's color scheme is okay if you don't mind your minis looking like everyone else's. To make it distinctly your own it, avoiding the designer's choices is a FINE idea. Avoiding games designers ideas is a must...as a group they seem to have no concept of color.

What did you use as braches?

They're dried grape stems actually. :)

Woohoo :)
That's already what I thought! Now I have a good excuse for buying more grapes

Great idea on the grape stems too. Seems very simple now you mention it, but looks great. I second Braxandur, more grapes are in order!

Cracking paint jobs too! :D

I offered you a box of dried grape stems a couple of weeks ago and you refused, tsssk! Then again, eating grapes never hurt anyone ;)

Great paintjobs - I'll echo the earlier comments about how cool the black looks. Good color choice.
