The Legion of Everblight has arrived!

My wife and kids have left town for three months while we wait for our new house to be built. While they are gone I have 1 mission, paint over 1000 points of new in the box Legion of Everblight miniatures.


I have a few ground rules:

  1. Nothing gets played until I paint it
  2. Everything that can be pinned gets pinned
  3. Paint it and move on, no repainting

This weekend I finished my first few models and here are the pics. Remember I am not a professional and I have painted less than 25 models in my lifetime so BE KIND.


Meet the Team


The Ferralgeist. I decided to make him blue rather than green.

Looks super blue in this photo (actually white) gotta love yellow lights.


I call him mini me!

With the exception of Sayern I am extremely happy with all of the other models. Sayern is ok but faces are hard. I love that most of the Legion Models do not have any eyes! Next up is the Carnivean. Unfortunately tonights a wash as I spent time doing this and recovering my World of Warcraft account.

Nice work dude! Did you blue ink wash the Ferralgeist or did you paint all the lines in seperately? I think you did a really good job on these. Much better than I could do. I don't play Warmachine but I use to get my paint lovin' on with the Warhammer 40k models.

Oh, quick question. are those wings from the Warmachine Line? They look very similar to the wings of the flying terrorgaunts from W40k.

I actually made a wash by adding a light blue, bit of a turquoise color and a bunch of water. Then I did a little bit of dry brushing, then I actually hand painted two layers of highlights over that.

Yes everything is the standard Hordes models. I'm still too new for conversions.

Okay Shane you asked for feedback, yer gettin it! As far as the level of skill that you display on your models, I give you a 10 out of 10. Honestly, if I painted this well on my earliest models, I would be a god right now at 20+ years invested.

We'll get together and I will teach you some tricks to really help you get rolling along, and I will even show you the super easy way to paint eyes on a model. :)
