The Tale of four Warcasters - The Intro!

Hello!

By now I’m sure many of you will be familiar with the “tale of ….” Format, this is the Kernow-machine attempt at doing something a little similar!

Starting from a Battlebox or Warpack each gamer will build and paint a force, competing against each other in challenges with the aim being a fully painted 35 point force at the end!

I’m aiming to at least do a weekly update to let everyone know how it’s all going, hopefully full of WIP shots of each force!

Soooo onto the gamers!

Matt (Me) – Khador

Darren – Circle

Steve – Legion

Tom – Mercenaries

Building and painting begins tomorrow so keep a look out for an update soon!

Cheers

Painting!

First of all, I need to apologise for being so quiet recently, Ive been busy running/attending tournaments and leagues, and of course real life likes to step in and take my time as well!

First up today we have Lord Arcanist Ossyan and Dawnlord Vyros.

Ive used Ossyan a fair bit already, and ive got to say his feat turn can really pack a punch!

Next up we have the family photo!

Thats right! Ive finished all the current Retribution of Scyrah Warcasters! Im really looking forward to the release of colossals, not only because of Hyperion, but because Vyros is getting a horse!

Talking of horses....

Really enjoyed painting this guy, which is good considering I have the maximum amount of mounted models availalbe to a Retribution force!

Ive also finished Skarath and a Scyir

Thats all for now folks! Vyros is off to wage war on the Skorne!
