Warcasters and a manhunter

Looking back at some of the first pictures I had taken for this blog, many of them are just pretty shabby. Lighting was poor, the colors are not too accurate, and some have bad focus even. As I've gotten a bit better at correcting those issues over the past two years, I decided to start retaking some of the pictures with better camera settings, and with better post processing applied.

(If you want the technical specs, all of the models pictured today were photographed with a Canon Powershot S5IS in macro mode, 1/40 exposure time, f 4.0, no flash, light mode set to Tungsten. No flash was used, just 2 diffused compact florescent directional lamps at 90 degrees to each other.)

So here are 3 new Khador models finished for my commission work for Fluffy Bunny.

Manhunter

The Butcher of Khardov

Limited Edition Andrei Malakov

And then we have some retakes of my Retribution of Scyrah Warcasters

Epic Vyros

Issyria Sybil of Dawn

Kaelyssa, Night's Whisper

Adeptus Rahn

Ravyn, Eternal Light

Dawnlord Vyros

And we have a bonus today! Had another friend over for a game today - Elves vs Trolls. At one point a single infiltrator charged Borka2 and was counter charged by 2 large and hungry dire trolls (Rok and an Earthborn). This hero elf dodged all attacks, then epically did nothing to Borka.
(The elf was promptly eaten the next turn by Rok)

The most interesting elf in the Iron Kingdoms

Did a little bit more painting as I wanted to finish off one last model for January's "A Tale of Warmachine" forum post. Decided to finish another Retribution Warcaster.

wait, yes I do always kill dozens of round ears every morning before breakfast..." 

Garryth, The Most Interesting Elf in the Iron Kingdoms

Also, as the "A Tale of Warmachine" post likes to have work in progress pictures, or at least pictures of what you plan on painting for the following month - here's what should be in store for February:

Plans include Krueger, Feral Warpwolf, Gallows Grove, 2 units of Shifting Stones with a Stone Keeper, 2 Blackclad Wayfarers, Megalith (on order), Forward Kommander Sorcha, Kovnik Malakov, an Ironfang Pikemen unit attachment, a Manhunter (variant), an Ironfang Kovnik, a unit of House Shyeel Magisters and a Houseguard Thane.
