Not Warhammer Fantasy but Warmachine for my Protectorate of Menoth army, taking a break from Warhammer after a really busy year as I was getting a bit fed up with painting really little people...

very nice Kiwi. I don't know anything about Warmachine, what height and base size is this miniature ?

Those look really nice, even if betrayed us . Now, is that game futuristic, Warhammer-ish time zone? Because it kind of looks like it could be either one.

Very nice. I love the tip of the staff.

Combination of magic & 40k style play. Basically a skirmish game - infantry are on 40mm bases, medium sized infantry & warjacks (big killer robots) are on 50mm, large ones on 60mm. Average figure is about 4-5cm high although larger Warjacks can be upwards of 10-12cm. Every figure is metal so the game is expensive if you want to play large games - some warjacks can cost around NZ$150

Each army is run by a Warcaster - combat mage who can control a group of large robots (warjacks) and who is generally accompanied by infantry of various types. Races or nations to choose from a varied mine are basically Religious fanatics attempting to bring salvation to the unholy either by converting them or by setting them all on fire - appeals to me somehow.

Nice model, and VERY nice job, mate! Kudo's for you!

Thanks guys - and cheers Dims getting positive feedback from you is especially rewarding given how good your stuff is

You shouldn't put yourself down too much, you should reckon yourself in my kind of league Still room for improvement, but hey: so do I, right?
Here's a tip: I see you use mainly about three or four shades of one color for each part you paint - base color, a shade and a highlight. Try to put in some more time and effort by using the tones that go between your shade color + base, and the base color + highlight, for smoother transitions. It will really up your game!

That is one big investment ! Still, I like the size of the models. One of the downsides to the hordes of plastic fantasy models is they feel a bit fiddly and insubtantial sometimes.

Privateer Press who make Warmachine and Hordes are transiting to plastic, but it is a more resin based plastic rather than the GW style. The game is 30mm scale where as GW is "Heroic" 28mm so they are slightly different. I have a huge load of Cryx stuff but have started to grab some Retribution stuff that I want to replace it with. That's as well as my Skorne Hordes army that is mostly unassembled.
