First game with a painted army...

So I had my first game with the Menites in quite some time last weekend. I played Joel and his Cryx. He was using eAsphyxious and packing some Bane Knights, Bane Thralls, Gorman, Ogrun, Tartarus and a Deathjack. I'm sure the Bane Thralls had a unit attachment with them too. While I got brutally smashed, there was a lot of lessons to be learnt.


I must admit, I was curious to see what my army could do on the battlefield. And of course see what it looks like. Next time around, I'll be a little bit more careful with the deployment as I think they were too spread out. Being only the second time using eKreoss, I need to know more of his spells and his abilities.

Also got to remember to not be too aggressive with the warjacks. They are bound to be pumped, especially with Weapon Master units.

I hope to get a second game in soon. Really keen to see if I can learn from the previous game and learn more of what my army can do.

The Exemplar Knights are almost complete, with just the base to go before I move onto something else.

Painting all 10 at the same definitely took longer than the Flameguard. The Errants - like all Exemplar models - are chock full of detail t paint and highlight, which is the main reason why it took so long. I also tried something different by adding a bit of free-hand design on the shields.




Feeling quite impressed with the free-hand design on the shields, I thought I'd go one better by re-painting the banner on the Exemplar Seneschal.

With a bit more confidence on doing free-hand design, I'm looking forward to adding some on eKreoss' banners.

On another note, I managed to get a reply from Privateer Press about the missing parts on the Cinerators. I'm absolutely stoked that they will be sending them out soon as I'm doing to paint those models up.

Now, time to add the sand and foilage on the Exemplar Errants and put together the Unit Attachment which I purchased the other day.
