My latest Cryx caster: Terminus.
Big dude on a big base. Should be interesting to use though want him to be painted first before I use him. Just finished basing him for now. Hope to be able to use him in the near future. Until next time.

Going Back to my WMH Roots: Prime Vlad
Had 4 games with Prime Vlad this May 13 and 14. Conclusion is he still supports his army well.
First game last May 13 was against Ian Kim Navarro and mainly I was just spamming Signs and Portents. This surprised Kim a bit. He still would have had Vlad but he forgot to pop eSorscha's feat when she went on her assassination run. Still Vlad made for a good colonel the whole game and may army actually took down his right flank. Learned that I should provide better layered defense for Vlad. Vlad in the end gave her a love tap, unfroze her heart and she melted in his arms to end The Lover's Quarrel.
Second game was against a new player, Erik Kwo. It was a No Man's Land scenario and again, Vlad was mainly a general here and my army was slowly taking his apart. I didn't want to be too aggressive since he was new so was playing it like a chess match so we could both enjoy it. In the end, Drago managed to do assassinate Engine of Destruction'd pFeora by hitting her with some high dice rolls to end The Hot Date. Lucky that one.
On May 14, it was a Tough day for Vlad at the office. First game was against Taks' Cygnar and he managed to take out almost all of my Doom Reavers and nearly killed my Greylord Escort too. Then came the Tough rolls. Siege feated and tried to kill the Great Bears protecting Vlad. They must have made like 4 Tough checks in a row. Surviving meant the GBs cleaned up the models blocking LoS to Siege. Vlad then cast S&P and shot Siege with Razorwind with booseted damage which hurt a bit. Fenris then took Free Strike which did no damage, moseyed over to finish the job and Break the Siege.
Last game yesterday was against Jake de Jesus and his Cygnar. Everything was going his way until Tough came into the picture again. First it was the Underboss who survived 2 Tough checks. Then some of the Doom Reavers also took the mettle out of the Centurion attack by surviving Tough. This bothered Jake a bit that he forgot to use Stryker's feat. Vlad cast S&P again and Fenris made sure to end the game by Striking Out Stryker.
In conclusion, this was my 5th game using pVlad in Mk 2. My first ever game I lost vs Fred but that was because I was using him in Mk 1 style but couldn't cut it since using Blood of Kings uses up a lot of his focus and I couldn't use the remainder to power my jacks effectively. So I figured I might as well just use S&P until I killed off a lot of his army or if my opponent killed most of my army off, then and only then would I use BoK. Seems to be working so far. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Bringing in the Laughter in Slaughter
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Among other new things, I got a model which I really required in my Cryx lists.Gen. Gerlak Slaughterborn has joined my undead army and will soon help sow terror among the souls in Immoren, humans and trolls alike.
Slaughterborn was one of the first models I wanted to get asap at Fortress when i got my Cryx army but unfortunately for me, someone got to him first. I ordered it in Mang's last call for orders and now he's finally with me. Might try my hand at painting him. Seems much easier to paint him compared to a regular Cryx model.
Here he is without paint for now. Thanks for looking!

Another member of my growing fleet
My third PAL plane. This time it's a 1/400 Gemini Jets PAL A340-300 courtesy of Kevin aka Debonaire at the Filipino Diecast Airline Collectors (www.fildac.hostoi.com). I wasn't really planning to get any jet after the 1/500 PPC PAL B777-300ER but the price was reasonable and no one bit after 24 hours.
The fleet grows. I think I should start thinking abuot making an airport. Heh!
Malice
Haven't posted in a while. Plain old laziness is my excuse. :D Anyway, here's something to maybe help get me going again. It's my model of Malice. I got the Reaper model from Edward "Emp" Fernando yesterday in exchange for my Stalker. Incomplete yet as I am missing the right arm of a Slayer and the harpoon arm's blade was broken. I will be ordering those from the parts store at Privateer Press soon. Also the shoulder spike on the left of the Reaper was lost as well so I added one of the soul's included in the Malice blister to replace it. Looks ok if I do say so myself.
Malice is one of the newer Cryx jacks. It can collect soul tokens which can actually add to the jack's armor. It has the usual Reaper harpoon and the ramspike of the Reaper was replaced with an open fist. It has other abilities as well but these are the ones that stand out for me. Surprisingly, it is not bonded to any Cryx caster unlike Torch and Triumph.
Like Torch, the Malice comes as a blister with the add-on and replacement parts only intended to be used with the plastic jacks. Personally I prefer my jacks in metal so as with Torch, I asked around for any Reapers available and it was great Emp had one he wasn't using. Originally he thought the arms and heads were pinned. Luckily it wasn't the case and the arms and heads were easily removed. With a little filing, I managed to position Malice's head and with some green stuff the souls. So now, it's only waiting for the arms.
Hope to order them soon so I can have a complete Malice on the table.
