#81 Painted, Warmachine, Cygnar, Charger

Warmachine, Cygnar, Charger

Introduction

I didn't really enjoy the painting overly as the model chassis is largely just the same one as the lancer and firefly. I did however enjoy a 3rd chance at getting those lines a little bit cleaner than the last two times.


 Other than that I really really enjoy playing this guy on the battlefield.

What I did

Whats in the Box?

• 1x Charger Model
• 1x Medium Base
• 1x Stat Card (definitely not the latest one).

 At this point I'm going to have a whinge about the lack of a latest stat card in the box, Whinge whinge whinge, If you are going to upgrade a game, If you are going to go to all that trouble how about you ship out some singles for the people buying the boxes.

Basing

I went for the ever popular wall filler plus drybrushing method of basing.

In this case it was:

1. Prime: Black (Vallejo Primer, Black)
2. Dry Brush 1: Grey (Vallejo Game Color, Sombre Grey)
3. Dry Brush 2: Grey (Reaper, Concrete Grey)
4. Dry Brush 3: White (P3, Menoth White Highlight)

Assembly

Overall there wasnt really any suprises with the model, the chassis is the same as the lancer and the firefly and the hammer arm is the same as the Ironclad's Quake Hammer arm. the gun is in 2 bit and very simple to get together.

I used a hobby knife to clean off any gates and then try and clean down any mold lines that I found.

Painting

Here are the paints I used:

1. Prime: Vallejo Primer White
2. Armour Air brush: Blue (P3, Cygnar Base Blue)
3. Armour Air brush: Blue (P3, Cygnar Blue Highlight)
4. Armour Dry brush/highlight: Light Blue (P3, Arcane Blue)
5. Amour Highlights/Metal Sections: Silver (Army Painter, Gun Metal)
6. Amour Highlights/Metal Sections: Gold (Army Painter, Greedy Gold)
7. Metal Ink: Black (Army Painter Ink, Dark Tone)
8. Armour Ink: Blue (Army Painter, Ink Blue)
9. Front Facing Arc: Blue (P3, Cygnar Blue Highlight)

Conclusion

Overall I was happy with this guy, I think he could have done with a little more with the contrast but he did look the bit in his blue Armour.
