Morbid Tales: Warcry Journal Part 1 (Patreon)

In the beginning, the world was formless, uncarved, and needing some assembly. An endless tide of carnage and seeking favor from the dice gods. A place where iron met bone, and plastic met glue. This is Warcry!

I helped a friend move his game shop a few months ago and saw a Warcry starter among the pillars of boxes, a rare find these days and having played a game of this a while back, decided now was great time to buy a big box of plastic. During quarantine I've been sorely lacking in the gaming department, I've played once. With this project my goal is to paint up the whole set and get some folks interested that are close to me and staying safe. I can get a couple people interested and they might follow up on the game since it's an easy investment compared to Age of Sigmar. But I'm getting ahead of myself, first I must build it and then they will come.

Each night for many nights when I went to the living room to wind down, I brought this box with me and set to cleaning the mold lines on a few pieces or assembling a few miniatures.


About a month later it was all cleaned up and I started staging all the ruins. The instructions tell you to put them together however you like, so I did and needed up with some bare ends and ran out of parts. Rest assured the bare ends are hidden from view and will be scored up to blend in..Damn bare ends.



The warbands needed some basing but I didn't want to dedicate too much time to it. My goal is to get this done, it won't be anything award winning but style points can go a long way. Something quick that suits the theme of the warbands.

The Iron Golems bases were made from crushed Plaster. Pretty simple, a hammer and a few larger pieces later, I had many small pieces and much powder.


For the Untamed Beasts, my current favorite, I crushed up many small roots and twigs I had handy to emulate a forest floor. Untamed! Er, unchained!



I still haven't decided on the Furies and what I like to call Warhammer turkies, the Raptorix. Pictured below for posterity, they aren't sitting undone. I'll probably give them a mix of the two basing themes and regret not doing that from the beginning on every model.



But that is where my projects stands for now. I plan on creating some fast and effective recipes for the warbands in the near future. Those tutorials will be a nice break from various series :)

Remain unchained!
