A Tale of Warmahordes 2012: Sign-up Thread

[PG_jmess30]

I'm late but I want in!

Intro: been playing since the cards were black & white. Started off with Menoth and have played mercs,Khador,Ret,Skorne,Minions in the past.

Factions: currently playing Ret and Khador but will be painting various factions.

Theme: Khador is a dark red. My Ret theme is a hideous canary yellow and orange.

What I plan to paint: finish all my Ret. Paint my remaining Khador and Mercs along with models from other factions that just look cool.

[Grigorvich]

Wow, it's been a while since I've posted here, so here goes:

Intro: I started playing Warmahordes back in '08 with Khador. Then I picked up some PoM around Legends, along with a little bit of Skorne. After a little hiatus while waiting for MKII's playtest I got back into the game, first with PoM. I then picked up some Mercs and haven't looked back. After another hiatus from when my FLGS closed (god, I've taken alot of breaks) I plan to get the game back up at a new LGS. With that done, I'm hoping to use this vow to stop me from playing with 1/4 painted armies.

Factions: Mercs and Cygnar

Themes: Mercs will be done in misterfinn's Faction Box in ten days scheme from brushthralls. Cygnar will be done in the classic Blue/Cream scheme.

What to paint: At the moment, I've got some halberdiers, a Mangler, two Renagades, Croe's boys, Dannon and Bull, eStryker, a Stormclad, a Cyclone, lancer, stormgurad and one of their WAs.

[Pixl]

Change circle to Trolls for my other project...if it is ok to change XD

[theHman]

Intro: I've been playing wargames since 1995ish. Mostly GW until the last couple of years when I got sick of their poorly written rules and nerfing my Nids. So I got into Malifaux as no one was playing WM where I was living at the time. After moving back to Phoenix, AZ., I was introduced to WM last January and have been mostly playing that over anything else.

Factions: My first love is Cryx (have nearly 150pts), and just over 100pts in Skorne. But I'm also eyeing that Swamp Horror and Everblight's insanely awesome looking battle engine.

Theme: I'll be focusing most of my painting energies towards my Skorne. Still deciding on the paint scheme, but I'm leaning towards pink, black and gold or silver. My test models will determine what I do in the end though.

Painting Goal: My goal for 2012 is to paint all my Skorne (100+pts) and finish painting my Cryx (70+pts). Then I'll buy the Swamp Horror (and start gators at the same time) and then I'll get a token Everblight army.

[PG_Sinfule]

Another Johnny-come-lately!

Intro: I've been painting miniatures since the mid-nineties, some for various local painting competitions but mostly for gaming. Jumping aboard the Warmachine ship about the time Escalation was released (and when was that? - a little while ago at least), I took a hiatus from the game when Legends made the game a bit to non-intuitive for my taste. Getting into the fray again at the Mk. II release, my spare time isnt what it was when I last played, so I need all the motivation I can get to get those models painted. This could hopefully be it.

Faction: Cryx and now Circle.

Theme: My Circle is going to be painted in reddish brown and offwhite with heavily oxidized bronze. I'm hoping to incooperate some celtic style motives.

Painting Goal: My goal is to paint at least a full 50 point list including the models I like the most from the Circle range. Cassius, asorted trees, a lot of druids and stones of various kinds, female Tharn and some satyrs.

[Norsehawk]

Intro: First off, I will say that I mostly play 40k but have recently been interested in trying out a few more games besides GW stuff, but even saying that, I don't play much at all. I tend to paint a lot more than playing, and am working on various commission projects all of 2011. (and no, I don't need more clients right now) I may be moving mid year to the other side of the planet so hopefully if that happens, I will have those 2 get out of painting free cards to keep me in the Tale.
Faction:Circle, mostly focused on constructs, plus I just picked up the 2 player battlebox last week so have small Khador and Menoth forces now too
Theme:For the Circle, I plan to do some sort of 'Autumn' theme, Khador, not sure, but not TOO much red on them, and Menoth, I might just do those book standard unless I think of something more interesting to me.
Painting Goals: (No particular order)
Khador:
Sorscha
5 man Shocktroopers
Juggernaut
Destroyer

Menoth:
Kreoss
Cinerators
Repenter
Crusader
Vanquisher

Circle:
Both Baldurs

Megalith
Druid Wilder
Shifting Stones (plus Stonekeeper)
Argus x2
Feral Warpwolf
Kaya the Wildborne (bought the starter circle box)
Druids of Orboros
Woldwarden
Wold Guardian
Sentry Stone + Mannikins

Plus anything else that catches my eye, or forgot. I seem to remember buying some Khador figs back a few years ago that are floating around in one of my bitsboxes, I remember a guy with long hair and a big sword (one of the Vladimirs), and I believe one of the butcher models, if I can find them great, of not, no major problem, I have more than enough points listed here at this point.

[drazz00]

Sign me up in February as well if it's not to much trouble

Intro : I'm a Khador player from a small town in Canada. There are only a few Warmachine and Hordes players so I'm pretty uninspired to paint with so few games during the school year. I love the game and the models.... well not so much the new plastic jacks.... but most of the models!

Factions : Khador with an assortment of mercs

[Archaoti]

I'm joining the challenge late, but have been working on some models for January anyways.

Intro: I began playing in March of last year. I picked up the Protectorate of Menoth after watching and then playing a few demo games. Since then I have slowly seen my army expand from the battle box to over 175 points including mercs and 8 casters. I did not start painting until about July of last year and since then I have gradually improved although I am far from leaving the rank of amateur painter.

Faction: Protectorate of Menoth with a couple merc solos.

Theme: Standard PoM colors with an alternate scheme tending towards light on dark rather than dark on light.

What I plan to paint:

Two magnetized jacks, the repenter chassis and the crusader chassis

and whatever else I can think of...

[MadMasha]

Intro: I have only recently started playing Warmahordes, but I have been gaming and painting for about 10 years. I originally started off with a Trollblood army (currently 25pts) but was soon after beaten over the head by the muses with an urge to paint red armor... So I had no choice but to build a Khador army (currently 35pts)

Factions: Khador (35pts) and Trollbloods (25pts)

Themes: For my Khador I will be using mostly the standard colors, reds, silvers, and brass. My red however tends to be a bit brighter then the standard Khador shade.
For my Trolls I am focusing more on a lean towards the more modern military branch of the trolls, blitzers, bombers, sluggers, etc. Have not settled on any one solid paint scheme yet but have done some testing on skin tones.

Plan to paint: I will be focusing on my Khador mostly for this challenge. But who knows, I might see a model that I just need to paint and do that instead.

The list consists of:
KHADOR
Kerchev
4 Heavy jacks - all magnetized so I can use any of the 4 varieties in the plastic kit.
6 mechaniks
Fenris
(plus whatever I decided to buy after I finish painting the above)

TROLLBLOODS
pMadrak - mostly painted already
Blitzer
2x pyre trolls
5 sluggers
5 kriel warriors
(and 5 Champions if I decided to finish building the army to 35pts)

Good luck to everyone!

[Penguin616]

Intro:
I started playing in September (I think) 2011. After noticing the local club had begun playing. I had looked at WM before and thought they looked cool. At that time I was interesting in Khador, but I decided for Cygnar when I started. Partially thanks to trenchers looking a bit like WW1/2 stuff. I'm new to these kinds of games and before WM I had only played a few games of Flames of War. Though I've been painting (mostly WH40K stuff) on and off years and years now.

Factions:
Cygnar, Legion of Everblight

What I plan to paint:
Just about everything! I have nothing done so far. For Cygnar I have models that are nearing completion. And for Legion I haven't painted anything yet as I just started them.
First up will be Gun Mages, eCaine and, well, more.

[Kackles]

Intro:
I started playing back during the Hordes MK II field test, after seeing a couple of my friends playing this game. I asked about the different factions, and Lawso gave a quick summary of each one. "Blind dragons that go -hands over eyes- I see you" immediately got my attention and I started up Legion.

Factions:
Legion and Minions

Theme:
I'm thinking of an Orange/purple/green scheme for my beasts (tried it on a few models, it looks cool, imo), and I'll probably stick to that for the flesh tones on my units. No clue yet on what color for the armor/cloaks/etc... on the units.

What I plan to paint: Everything, hopefully. But priority are a 50 pt Absylonia, Saeryn, and Lylyth2 T4 lists.

[azrael71]

Am I ok to jump in late?

Intro: Hello, been wanting to play Warmachine for a few years now, but my gaming buddy would have none of it. Then out of the blue late last year he mentioned he had bought the 2 player set and did I want Menoth. So there we are, since then I have collected a fair few models and painted about 30 up.

Factions: Menoth, Cygnar, Skorne and potentially Everblight.

Theme: Menoth is tan and a blue washed up to dark purple with gold and black thrown in.
Cygnar are standard with lots of silver thrown in and might even do one or two mainly white jacks.
Skorne again are standard and I am toying with dipping these, but we will see.

Painting Planned: Cygnar: So I have 4 light warjacks, a storm tower and a custom ol'rowdy for Cygnar painted. With 5 heavy jacks and a host of magnetized arms. Also got 2 units of gun mages with UA, 1 max long gunners, 1 max precursor knights, 1 chaingun, p&e Stryker and p Haley all assembled and undercoated.
Menoth: Way to much to list, but these will be the main focus of my attentions.
Skorne: 4 casters, 2 units of paingivers, a worm, 4 cyclopses and 2 titans in varying degrees of assembly.
I will be adding models to these as I go, but hopefully will have finished Menoth and a good deal of Cygnar by years end
On the table this week are the gun mages (I think).

[MadJack]

Hope it's not too late to join... I've been on a hiatus from the forums for some time due to real life taking up too much of my time, so I'm just coming back now.

Intro: I've been playing Warmachine since the original Prime was the only thing out, and I love my swans! I've got a lot painted, but a lot more still to paint, and even though I really enjoy painting, I tend to need some sort of external motivation in order to get myself going, so things like this are great for me.

Factions: I've got a force for every faction, but my primary faction is Cygnar - I almost never play with anything else.

Theme: Pretty standard Cygnar theme, just with more black accents & less white than the studio theme.

Painting Planned: I'm not going to detail everything, because I've got a lot I'd like to get done, but the things that I would especially like to paint are: 2 Cygnar omni-jacks, Triumph, Gallant, 5 Storm Lances, 1 Storm Tower, 1 Feralgeist (just because I've got an idea for a really quick way to paint it that I think will still look pretty good), 6 gobber bodgers (beefing up my 3 minimum units to be 3 maximum units), Archduke Runewood

[PG_Shi_no_Kami]

Like MadJack before me, I hope its not too late to join. In fact I've already been posting in the WIP for March thread. And like MadJack before, I've been away from the game and the forums for a very long time.

Intro: I've been playing Warmachine since the black and white copy of Prime and Battleboxes only. I took a long break from 2009-2012. I'm back, the old models dusted off the new books bought. I chose to try out the new Retribution Army (new to me) as my main Warmachine Force. My Trollbloods remain my main Hordes force... I love converting, basing, and painting the gorgeous PP models. I enjoy seeing every players paint schemes, themes, and work. I enjoy showing off my ideas and work.

Factions: Primary Retribution & Trollbloods, secondary Khador & Mercs. I have some Legion... but am not a big fan of most of their models.

Theme(s):
- Retribution: Blue, Exile Blue, Grey, and Blue Metallic. Rifles in white.
- Trollbloods: Blue skin, Tans, leathers, Black Tartans, and White Hands (yes, Band of the White Hand - the Uruk-Hai).
- Khador: 2 Schemes: Iron Fangs - Black and Steel. Man O'War & Jack - Olive Green.
- Mercs: Steelheads are in Steel. Mercs are unique.

Painting Planned: EVERY MODEL I own or will own for Retribution & Trollboods. Once Khador is Stripped (old ugly paint) - then every Khador Model as well... well the one's I'll get: Bezerkers, Men o'war, jacks, Iron Fangs.

I'll take the 2 Get out of Paiting Free month as Jan/Feb. I'm fairly certain I can do so many extra points as to wipe them off...

[ObsidianXIII]

Quick question for you: What if you get to 50 points painted before the end of the year? Do you want us to keep painting and posting or is that counted as "challenge completed" and everything in excess of the 50 points is gravy?

[Antigonus]

Quick question for you: What if you get to 50 points painted before the end of the year? Do you want us to keep painting and posting or is that counted as "challenge completed" and everything in excess of the 50 points is gravy?

The challenge is 5 points (or more) per month, for at least 10 out of 12 months. I'd say keep going - especially given we've already had one guy clear 150 points so far...

[ObsidianXIII]

Okay, cool. I was just going over the faq and that stuck out at me. Thanks.

[ennuii]

Hi! I would like to join in the warmahordes.

Here is my info template!


Intro:
Hi! my name is ennuii, I've been tabletop gaming off and on since probably 1994 with most of the money spent on gaming going to gw and tonnes of rpg/computer gaming since about 86 . I don't really like gw anymore for numerous reasons. I probably have 70k or so points worth of random GW armies... I just kind of stopped a couple years ago when a certain mmorpg sucked the soul out of me.. yeah, you know the one.. I never really stopped painting though. I haven't played a single game other than the demo at templecon this year. So, we'll see where this goes.

Faction(s)* :
Retribution, dabbling in khador and perhaps some hordes if i can figure out what i want to paint. I usually go for cooler looking models over functionality...

Theme* :
(if applicable) I'm not entirely sure, I was thinking "army lists that smash your face in," but I don't think that's whats being asked.

What I plan to paint :
list of doom; for Retribution

kaelyssa
garryth

2 mage hunter assassins (classic/variant)
2 arcanists
mage hunter strike force full
mhsf cmdr
stormfall archers
soulless

p eiryss nq
e eiryss
lady aiyana and holt
sylys wyshiwashy

2 chimaeras- might make one something else

Sometimes you need to take a break from your lists, and paint something fun...

psorcia.
pbutcher.
ehaley (such a badass model.)
eirusk

juggernaught classic,
destroyer classic
widowmakers
full group iron pikemen
2 manhunters (classic/variant)

~you should see my painting station. It's loaded with pewter right now. I'll totally post a pic ina bit.

[Norskman]

Hey, I'm norskman, I've only been gaming for a few years, and playing warmahordes for about half of that. I stopped last year when my flgs went out of business, but after getting in an accident earlier this year (not my fault, witnesses and official accident report say so) I decided to get back in.

[grotznif]

Another late entry.

Thanks for doing this too!

Intro:

Playing wargames 20+ years here in Ireland. Long time 40k player but changed my focus when MKII was released. Never looked back after that. Good record in steamrollers but they're all the same models (painted ones).

Factions:
Main force is Legion of Everblight, but also have Farrow in hordes.
As for warmachine I have mercs an just started Khador.

Theme:

Currently working on my legion for an event in July.
Gold with dark purple with elven flesh.

What I plan to Paint:
I'm playing an unusual Kallus list.
So the plan by July is:
Kallus
2 shredders
harrier
stinger
20 swordsmen +UA
20 Legionaires + Farlor and standard
Full spawning vessel
min bog trogs
Min bonegrinders
swamp gobbers
death stalker

For reinforcements I'm looking at 5 raptors (3 painted).

After that I would like to get the farrow painted.

Treats:

I enjoy painting single models and will treat myself to a few models like Targ and the war dog.

[Mortiana27]

Intro: I'd like to jump in on this too. We started playing years ago, and I was always the one with the unpainted army. It proved to be quite a distraction to me personally, and by the time Mark II rolled around, I gave up on the game. Not only was the majority of my force still unpainted, but now I had to wrap my brain around a new set of rules! Turns out taking a break for a while was a good thing. I'm finally getting around to the Mk II rules, and have officially put together every single item in my army ... now to the painting!

Faction: Cygnar mostly with a few mercenary solos.

Theme: I don't really have a theme. I will continue to paint them with the same colors as I started. Ol' Rowdy sample

What I plan to paint: As many of my Cygnar army as possible

Basing: I can't guarantee every model will be based, but I'll try my best to figure it out

[CyberNoir]

Intro: I played GW product for about 15 years before finally getting tired of the constant changes and new army books I had to buy. I left it far behind and went some time without painting. To get my wargame fix, I played StarWars Minis, MonPoc, HeroClix, and a few others. But the urge to create and paint always haunted me. I was introduced to Warmachine about 6 months ago by a co-worker and have since recruited from former GW players to join me as well! I've got a little over 50 points of Cryx already painted and am almost done with that army for the time being. Next up for me is my first forray into Hordes with Everblight!

Faction(s): Cryx (for the first month or two) Legion (for the rest of the year most likley)
Theme: My Cryx theme is pretty standard. Green souls, dark colors. For Legion, I haven't made a final choice, but it most likley will be the studio colors. Hard to say for sure, so we'll all find out together!

What I plan to paint: For Cryx I plan to finish off my Overseer this month. For next month (May), it will be my DeathJack. Then it's on to working on my Legion force!

Look forwarding to painting with all of you!

All the best,
Cyber Noir

[empireofdirt]

Late entry time!

Intro: I bought a Cygnar battlebox plus a few other minis over a year ago, and have only played one game with them since. I made some halfhearted attempts at painting but never got very far. A few weeks ago I had a resurgence of interest and decided I was going to make time to paint every day. So far I've been able to stay true to this goal, and have finished off Stryker and a trio of Stormcallers, as well as the Ironclad from the battlebox.

Faction/theme: Cygnar, with the standard blue-silver-gold theme. I'm not confident enough yet to start designing my own theme, but I'll get there.

What's next: I plan to finish up the models that I've acquired already and then start building a list for eNemo. Here's what I have on the docket:

-Lancer (primed)
-Charger (primed)
-eNemo (primed)
-Black 13th (primed, but Watt's hand is unattached)
-Squire (unassembled)
-Heavy warjack kit (unassembled, needs magnets)

[Hansel]

Just discovered this, and tapping in late!


Intro : I went from barely dabbling in WM to playing 40k and jumping out of that right quick, and then fell in love with Malifaux, where I really learned how to paint. Now I'm back into WM/H, and looking to paint all this stuff I bought too much of. ;P

Factions : The Protectorate and the Blindwater Congregation (Hordes Minions)

What I plan to paint : As much as I can! So far I have, unpainted:

Protectorate
-Repenter
-Revenger
-Vanquisher
-Heavy Jack Kit

-Choir
-Holy Zealots
-Monolith Bearer
-Exemplar Cinerators

Factions: Protectorate of Menoth

Theme: I think the theme is standard for Protectorate. Ivory plates with LOTS of gold and some red thrown in for good measure. Then a good lathering of a black wash. Really just going for table top quality but getting every detail on the model. I also plan on painting some models in the alternate charcoal black (I think that is it) and gold theme I seen floating around here for some of the inquisitorial models like Reclaimers, Reznik, and Repenters.

What I Plan to Paint: Lots!

eKreoss

2x Exemplar Bastions
Temple Flameguard + UA
Choir of Menoth

Solos:
High Exemplar Gravus
Nicia, Tear of Vengence
High Paladin Dartan Vilmon
Knights Exemplar Seneschal
Exemplar Errant Seneschal
Covenant of Menoth
2x Paladin of the Order of the Wall
2x Vassal of Menoth
Hierophant
2x Vassal Mechanik

Battle Engines:
Vessel of Judgment

*NOTE*: I have a ton of other models that I play rarely and could paint and models for the future but this is a good start.

[J. Beatnik]

Theme* : For Cygnar its the good old standby of blue and gold. I haven't painted any Circle yet, but when I figure out a theme, I'll let you know.

I would like to participate too.

Intro: I've been a wagamer for 15 years. I started with WFB, then mordheim, then 40k, then warmaster, and a few years ago I arrived into the Warmachine world. I declare myself as a collector type (I have the pokémon syndrome, gotta catch them all), so I currently have a complete menoth army, with at least 1 model for every unit/solo/warjack/caster.
Last year I realize that I also had so few miniatures painted and started to put a real effort to the task of painting my army. Now it is painted at 65% more or less.
Last months has been a really busy ones, with no time to play or even to paint, and I starting to be afraid that I'll not be able to hit the 100% of models painted by the end of this year (and that is my goal). So this initiative will serve me as an inspiration to accomplish that.
Faction: I'm a protectorate player. I have some mercenary/minions too, but only those who can be played with my faction.
Theme: I liked the studio schema for protectorate, but it is a bit too "white". I'm painting my miniatures with a more "bone" white schema.
Here you can see some of my miniatures already painted:

Painting planned:
- Exemplar errant knights full unit
- Exemplar errant knights attachment
- Flameguard cleansers full unit
- Flameguard cleansers attachment
- Idrian skirmishers full unit
- Idrian skirmishers attachment
- Crusader
- Blood of Martyrs
- Scourge of Heresy
- Crusader/vanquisher/templar magnetized plastic jack
- Testament of menoth
- Feora, priestess of the flame
- Allegiant of the order of the fist
- Vassal of menoth
- Vassal mechanik
- Reclaimer
- Knights exemplar full unit
- Choir of menoth full unit
- Attendant priest
- Sir ekkreon (paladin of the order of the wall)

Ok, signing up after the half-year marker for the thread, but here goes!

Intro: Been playing and painting(with varying degree of success) different minature games off and on for the last 14 years now, and recently arrived in the Iron Kingdoms thanks to the warmachine 2-player starter box(we got two boxes, acctually) that me and my friend shared. After that I've been expanding my army but never really gotten around to finish painting it, which is why I decided to join up!

Faction(s): Menoth and tag-along mercs (and probably some Cryx that has snuck on to my desk recently...)

Theme: Going for a black, bone-white and blood red theme for my lot

What I plan to paint:
Kreoss 1+2, Reznik, Severius 1
Revenger, Repenter, Redeemer, Crusader*2, Vanquisher*2 and atleast one magnetized version of the upcomming multi-jack plastic kit.
Cinerators*2, Full TFG with UA, Cleansers, Choir
Vassal of Menoth, Vassal Mechanic, Wracks

Ok so i am joining up way after the beginning of the year but i would still like to join up as I am hoping to have a decent Khador force by the end of the year and maybe move on to a second army by next year. (with some Khador sprinkled in. So if it is ok.

Intro: I only recently began Warmahordes after observing or some time but playing 40k. Finally got tired of the 40k scene and let myself get carried away into Warmachine. Looking for an incentive to have a fully painted army, something i never achieved in 40k, so here i am.

Faction(s): Khador with a few Mercs mixed in.

Theme: Traditional red and black, perhaps with a little more black than people are used to seeing on the Traditional Khador scheme just to break it up a bit.

What I plan to paint: pSorscha, Juggy, Destroyer, Beast 09, MOWST, War Dog, eSorscha, Spriggan/Clam Jack Kit (hopefully magnetized), WGIDS, misc solos, and a few mercs as well.

Ok I'm extremely late for this one but hell, I need some motivation to get my painting into gear. I'm aiming to have the base army for Legion, Cryx and Menoth by the end of the year. If I can convince the mrs I may even paint get Scyrah and Skorne starter.

Intro: Very new to Warmahordes and hav only been collecting them for 6months or so, have yet to play a proper game too so very green in that department (have played a couple of half games). Sorely lacking other players in my area so it's very hard to come by games. Have previously painted and played 40k but found the game very slow and time consuming to play not to mention very costly as well. Ultimately aim to have at least 25 points in my two main armies (Cryx/Legion) and try convince some of my friends to play as well.

Faction(s)* : Legion, Cryx, Menoth

Theme* : Studio Theme with decorative bases.

What I plan to paint : Starter boxes for Cryx, Legion and 2 player box for Menoth. Have also got for Cryx the Witch Coven, Cankerworm, Leviathan, Bane Knights, Skarlock and Warwitch Siren. In addition to Legion warpack I have 2x Stingers,
