The First Post!

Well this is my first ever blog and the very first post in that blog!

I've been painting my Menoth army lately and have just finished painting The Blessing of Vengeance,  a character light warjack with an affinity to Severius.  The following photo shows the finished  model:






The Blessing is a great model in the game, it has the same weapons and basic stats as the bog standard Revenger warjack, but for one point more gets a variety of improvements and abilities, of note the first spell Severius casts through the Blessing's arc node has +2 strength and it has defensive strike, which can be very useful in keeping it alive.
 
Regarding the model itself, it is quite appealing as it looks the part of a character warjack and is well sculpted and comparatively good compared to the fantastic new plastic Menoth light warjacks.  However my only problem with this model was the legs sculpt, the original model is really squat and stood quite a bit lower than the standard plastic Revenger.  My good friend Andy McB came up with a great idea for a conversion and offered to do a leg swap with a spare plastic light warjack I had, if you look at the photos carefully you can see additional pistons around the models abdomen giving the Blessing a bulkier look.  I am really pleased with how this conversion came out and cheers to Andy for doing the converting.
