Not a lizard

Been a while since my last update. I've actually been playing Warmachine (gasp, I know), burned through the seven hours of a StarCraft II trial (kinda meh, kinda fun) and took a long look at my Cryx lists. Eight weeks of goofing around with different casters and lists, and it's time to buckle down with a serious army so I know what I'll be painting.

Anyway, further Skarre work:

This is the final dagger. I'd curled what was going to be a snake ornament around the blade, but couldn't get it to look right, so this is the final. The rope is a tiny homage to the whips that Satyxis Raiders use.


My apologies for the fuzzy photo, but every one of them came out of focus. This is the hatch for coal that powers warcaster armor.

And this little guy will be on Skarre's base. He's small -- his body is just a little larger than the hatch on the above photo. I'm patiently waiting for the "Skarre has crabs" jokes from opponents as they point at my Leviathan and Harrower; my witty response will be POW 13, POW 13, POW 13, Sacrificial Strike. Who's laughing now, sucker? Me and my parasites, that's who.

The final treatment -- maybe -- will be an extension on Takaryx, Skarre's sword. It's a little -- anemic, maybe, next to her dagger. Perhaps emasculated.

I'm also considering a cape, but that's going to involve a lot of forethought which I simply may not be capable of. Seriously, I'd have to measure out her warcaster armor, cut a cape that would go around it, green stuff in inevitable gaps and oh my god I'm bleeding from the thought of the work bleeding.

By the way, Nerima Daikon Brothers is on Hulu. It's hilarious, and you should be watching. Warning: it's racy.
