More updates to follow soon inc a finished model

Introductions are in order

Hi

My names Phil also know as Manners.  Ive been intersted in wargaming now for over 20 years and ive played a hell of a lot of systems and painted a hell of a lot of models.  But when I started playing warmachine/hordes in MK1 I had an idea of doing a trollbloods army but using cryx parts to represent the kriels of the Scharde isles.  Obviously this has been on the back burner for a great many years with ideas popping in and out of my head over the years.

This last year I decided to do a Cryx army again and what I have been doing is keeping all the spare parts ready to do the army.

What I want from this blog is just to showcase my cryx trollbloods as I build them and play with them.  Im moving house at the moment and plan to start he project proper in a few weeks  the idea is to do the cryx trollbloods army for 2013 and use them throughout the year.  Obviously if they are done before then I will start using them but until then im gonna concentrate on my Cryx.  But anyway here are some ideas that I have so far...

Warriors

Give each a baneknight shield.  For UA use banethrall ua standard pieces
Fennblades

change the swords on the fellblades for baneknight axes - stick onto brass rod

greenstuff helmets and shoulder pads maybe use baneknight shoulder pads

Champions

Use bloodgorgers, add maxmini steam backpacks and biohazard heads plus pipes

Digmies

add spikes & blades to the gun, helmet and shoulder pads.  Make sure all have a helmet & shoulder pads OR chop in half and stick onto blackbanes lower half

Fellcaller

use bane thrall champion axes, add armour plates, add helmet

Hooded trolls

drill out the face and paint black

Calandra

mix with egaspy bottom half
EMadrak

convert gerlack and add madrak bits 
PMadrak

convert gerlack and add madrak bits
Beasts 

add pipes and barrels - make them look similar to brute thrall.  Add spare helljack parts as well
Bomber

use mauler hands and add in barrels of necrotic slime. 

But anyway stay tuned

Phil
