Unboxing: Warzone Dark Legion Valpurgius

The third of the Nepharite Warlords from the Warzone: Resurrection book is one of the newer models in the range, and he looks awesome. Some changes are made from the orginal artwork and the old model but I must say I really like the new incarnation. So on to the unboxing.

Front cover of the box is the classic Paul Bonner art

The things you get in the box

The main body had fell of the sprue, but no other damage whatsoever

The cloak is looking really awesome

You get six cards, the stat card, two Tactical cards, one Gear card and two Strategy cards

As you could see in the pictures above you get three alternative heads, all which looks really cool. I choose the classic looking on though and can't wait to start and paint him up (I have plenty of other stuff to paint first though). All in all a great kit, almost no moldlines or flash. Just glue him together and your set to go and paint him. 

Dark Legion: Necromutant Commanders finished!

One of the Dark Legion's cruelest abominations, the brutal Necromutants were once living humans mutated by dark technology. Each and everyone has a malign intelligence they use to guide the mindless Undead legionnaires.

I'm very split right now on what to paint and in what order. I want to upgrade the two starter sets for Warzone to bigger forces but on the other hand I also want to paint up all my other stuff, and mainly my Imperial force. So for the moment I do both so in the near future you will see WZ:R goodies from all sorts of different factions (maybe even other than the three above).

One thing I wanted to paint up as fast as possible was Necromutant commanders for my Undead Legionnaries. They just get so much better with them (and its a measly 20 Pts upgrade per squad). And here they are, no conversions or anything on these. May do some on the rest of the Necro commanders when I come to that. 

 

Miniature Monday: Warzone Alakhai the Cunning

It is said of the Nepharite Overlord Alakhai the Cunning that he was first of his kind that Mankind set eyes upon; that in doing so Humanity knew fear as it had never before experienced in any war that was ever raged throughout its turbulent history.

The leader and Warlord in the Dark Legion starter set is finished, and what a nice model to paint I must say. Beforehand I wasn't so sure about this model but when I painted him up I do really like the design. The great thing with all the Nepharites is that all of them have their own unique look and history, so each of them will be an totally new painting experience which I really looking forward too. 

Anyway, here's the pictures. And now I only have to finish painting up five Legionnaires for the convention :O
