Test minis for Warcry

 A while back I got into Warcry, a light and fast skirmish game which is perfect for time-strapped modern life!

The previous Blood Bowl minis were a pre-test for these to try out Army Painter Speedpaints - although hopefully some Blood Bowl is on the cards sometime.

Huanchi skink and a Jade Obelisk cultist

I wanted some nice contrasting colours and as I wasn't feeling restricted to a colour scheme (as I have been with Infinity) it was fun to experiment.  I knew I wanted jade green for the cultists and went from there, and I really didn't want to go green for the slinks so I picked orange as a nice counter to the cultists' purple.

These are Army Painter Speedpaints from the starter set, I've seen people complaining about them "reactivating" (i.e. not drying) but I find that makes blending and mixing colours easier...

I'm liking it so far, and having fun finally, just need to get the rest done!

What's on your hobby table?

Can I grab some cheap Warcry warbands from Stormbringer magazine?

I found out what minis come with the first 10 issues of the Warhammer Stormbringer magazine and have been wondering what warbands I could put together for Warcry on the cheap ever since... here's my thoughts.

I haven't posted about it but I recently got into Warcry and it's great for a quick skirmish game, I'll try to post some more stuff if people like it!

Seemingly the following not-Space-Marines-honest units will come with the magazine:

Knight Arcanum (spellcaster) - 205 points

5x Vindictors (spearmen) - 135 or 170 points each

Praetor hero (halberdy bodyguard) - 160 or 215 points

Lord Imperatant + Gryph Hound - 240+115 = 355 points

Xandire's Truthseekers - now these are interesting! I can't use the bird but the others have a sword (Vanquisher?) a bow (Vigilor?) and a hammer (Annihilator or a Lord maybe?) so it will be fun to play with the options!

Kruleboyz

Who doesn't like orcs (or Orruks?)?

Killaboss + Stab Grot - 180+45 = 225 or 190+45 = 235 points

10x Gutrippas (orcs) - 75 or 140/145 points each

10x Hobgrot Slittas - 70 points each

Swampcalla Shaman + Pot Grot - 165+45 = 210 points 

So, let's see what we can make from this lot...
