High Allegiant Amon Ad-Raza

Considering the most flesh that's visible on a Protectorate of Menoth miniature is maybe a hand or two and how long it's been since I painted anything else, it took more effort than usual to do Amon's bare chest. I actually had just finished Amon when I took this photograph and hadn't sealed him yet. As a result, the miniature seems a bit glossy - I use watered down Future Floor Finish to thin my paints and a byproduct is the reflective sheen which can obscure some of the highlights from the camera.

 
 

I actually lost inspiration on this miniature after I finished up the flesh portions. I just couldn't decide how to paint it up. Eventually I settled on what you see above, which is meant to be reminiscent of my warjacks (dark armored plates over the white/tan hull plates) since Amon is a warjack-centric warcaster.

A First and a Last in St. Louis

Although Warmachine MkII has brought positive changes to the Warmachine community, it unfortunately coincides with the closing of Game On!, a game store that has always been a strong supporter of the Warmachine community.  On Wednesday the 14th, we had a last blast 35-point Mangled Metal MkII event - our first MkII event in St. Louis.

After throwing around a few possible casters, I decided on some of my lesser-used options to see how they changed in MkII.  I was curious to see if they and their battlegroups would fit my playstyle better now, or if I would be able to change my playstyle to better suit their abilities.
