About the Project
Before the sale of Warmachine to Steam Forged Games, I had bought a large allotment of Cryx and Cygnar armies. Normally I have a MK VI Cygnar force, but I would like to put together a Painted Dark Host starting force and have a fun with the collection.

First bit of Progress
So I have managed to secure a little time to work on the Cryx models. Here I have gotten a personal mix of Pro-Acryl paints to make a Cryx dark grey. Something that is 2 parts coal black, 2 parts green and maybe 1 part white (roughly). For the teeth the original P3 jack bone, with Pro Acryl Bright White. For the metals I don’t have any more blighted gold, so I mixed together Pro Acryl Bright Gold and Pro Acryl Silver. Unlike when I first did a Deathripper, here I did a little bit of edge highlighting with a lighter shade of my Cryx Gray, and I used a Pro Acryl Dark Blue for some shadding. I used a blend of P3 Necrotite Green and Pro Acryl Bright Yellow. So overall, I am not a great pro-painter and its not a display model, but I am excited for it to be on the table. Well I hope you have enjoyed.
In the beginning
The Force begins. Here is the start of the models at the beginning that I would like to make a start of the Dark Host.
Here is the beginning of the small force. There is Lord Exhumator Scaverous, his Helljack Erebus, and a Defiler to start the battlegroup.
