A bit of Cryx
« on: January 12, 2011, 01:20:42 PM »




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.

Really like that Nightwretch! The black looks awesome...never saw anybody do Bonejacks in black and it looks really good.

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

Strangely enough it's probably the most logical colour for Cryx (being the ultimate evil faction in the game)...but weirdly enough I haven't seen it done before...odd :D

VERY NICE! I really like you're color choices. The Lads/Thingies have a LOT of character. WELL DONE!

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.

I like the paintjob on the miniatures, but I'm completly blown away by the background on the pictures.

What did you use as braches?

Why aim for gold if you can get lead?

They're dried grape stems actually.  :)

Nice painting style, I really like your choice of colours. The skin tones contrast nicely with the green and the grey/white gloves. I also like the way you added just a little rust on both minis and didn`t go overboard.

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

Nice painting - makes a change from the usual Cryx schemes.

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!

I usually buy mine bottled but this is certainly a good reason to get them fresh!

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 ;)

Dried Grape stems!  Awesome idea!

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