Gorman, Eryiss and PIursk

I have taken a break from painting the IFP to do something I actually enjoy it's been quite a few productive days, I got Gorman, Epic Eryiss and PIursk done as well as getting all My other mercs on to resin bases.

Quite chuffed with how these all look together, the bases are from Secret weapon.

Also got Piursk painted up, need to get a few mroe game sin with him but so far he has been working quite well.

Infantry is the anvil, the artillery to force the opponent to come to me, some recon to limit their movement and a bit of anti tank and anti air. I have most of the infantry and artillery on order so hopefully I can start playing in the new year.

In other system I am continuing my quest to make a new 40k list, still playing around with various combinations, not got something I am happy with yet.

For war machine the painting goes one, currently working on a unit of IFP and it’s sucking the life out of my doing them I really hate painting units of WM infantry. On the once they are out the way I have very little left to paint of my Khador.
