Painting up my Mind Slaver & Drudges + Mind Bender & Drudges for my Cephalyx Army

Mind Slaver + Mind Bender with Drudges

Just finished up the last of the 3 units of Drudges. It's hard to tell them apart even with their crotch cloths painted different colors but I like how they turned out.

I still have the 3 Agitators, Pistol Wraith, and the leaders of the Drudge units to paint. Probably won't get them done by game day on Tuesday but I'll see how far I can get.

I really love these models. They're really creepy and dirty looking.

The Mind Benders are an extremely interesting unit. The leader has a toolbox of spells that can be cast through the Drudges like Arc-Nodes, even when in melee. This comes at a price though, you have to sacrifice the model you channeled your spell through after you are done casting.

It is absolutely worth it though for the amazing things you can do.

The first spell gives your Drudges a huge MAT and STR increase and allows them to re-position. This can allow your Drudges to take out a Heavy Warjack.

The next spell is a medium sized AOE bomb that will take care of all the high DEF models that are plaguing you. It is amazing to use iwth Telekinesis and Thexus' feat as you can re-position for maximum casualties.

The last spell is a medium Spray that can take out units when they are bunched up. Again, amazing with Thexus' ability to shift enemy models on the battlefield.

The Mind Benders are definitely one of my favorite units to play as they have so many tricks up their sleeves. I can't wait to try them out!

Cephalyx Mercenaries

Working on getting my Cephalyx All-in-One-Box painted this weekend. I'll post more pictures as I make progress.

Finished Mercenaries Colossal: The Galleon Conversion!

The Galleon Crushes his Cygnarian Foes

The Galleon has been my most sought after model after picking up Mercenary pirates in a trade. His giant crane claw and his pointy stabby trident harpoon makes me all giggly and squeely. My hatred for Cygnar is shown in hte model. He is crushing an Ironclad and clamping down on a Lancer. I also wanted to give him more of an animated pose so it wasn't so boring.

I was able to trade a bunch of D&D stuff for a majority of the Pirate Boat and the Mercenary paints from my friend, Jeremy. I went for a dirty dry brush rusty metal look which I'm happy with
The Galleon has a nice set of guns but the Trident is the absolute best for crushing Warjacks/Warbeasts. You get a 15" threat range with it (including movement) and you can suck up an enemy warjack (maybe even out of their warlock/warcasters control area) and if you're loaded up with 3 Focus you can smash a POW 15 range attack and 4 normal POW 21 which is enough to wreck almost any Warjack.
This is by far my favorite looking model and I've definitely enjoyed playing it.
