Menoth: Paladins and the Wall

Today I present another round of Menoth. Usually this blog has a bit more 40k to it than Warmachine but with the Football season kicking off I felt it was time to get back to my Alabama Football theme'ed Menoth (Roll tide!).

Today I present two more units done up in the Crimson and White.First off we got a Paladin of the Order of the Wall. For this army, I have decided that all fabrics would be white and all hard armor would be crimson red. Swords are going to be metals and highlights are going to be placed as needed to make the models pop.

The Paladin was a fun model to work on. I enjoyed working on the cloak and the robes the most. For this paladin however, I tried a different trick and did my whites another way instead of my traditional way I've been doing them. In my opinion I much prefer this new way of doing white to the old style. Whats your thoughts on it?

The highlights as usually were added on last to the Paladin and eyes were added to round out the figure. Eyes on miniatures is a new trick I've been teaching myself lately and trying it not only for 40K but for Warmachine as well has been a lot of fun, if a little bit of a challenge.

So what are my goals with this army. First off, I am not a serious warmachine player. I play mostly to enjoy myself and own this army as a alternative game to play should nobody in the FLGS be playing 40k that day. As such a lot of my time is spent painting these miniatures over actually playing. Secondly, since most of my favorite schemes have been taken by my 40k armies I wanted a theme that I could do easily and as such I chose this scheme to work with to honor my Alma Mater. Plus its fun (for me) to watch Alabama football and paint miniatures while yelling at the TV on Saturdays.

So whats next for this army. Well it use to be a 50 point army back in MKII. I have not checked the points under the new system but I do have a few more squads and warjacks to attend to. I've been saving the warjacks for later, meaning when the weather gets cooler and I can break out my airbrush to get them done quickly. This is also the case for my preferred warcaster, The Harbringer of Menoth. I want her to be my center piece model so I've been getting better at this scheme in preparation to airbrush her model.

As mentioned in an earlier post, We here at Behind the Lines Miniatures have had Jerry2die4 and Praetorianoftheeast join our little team of writers and so in the future we hope to get their own armies displayed here.

Until Next time!
