One thing she has been pretty adamant about is playing with painted models. This one another reason she was interested in playing Cryx - I had a NIB MkII Cryx Battlebox :) So, first she assembled all of her models (well, all but the Defiler, which I did). Then, we spent a few days browsing the internet looking for a good color scheme. After finding several, and then discounting most of them due to the advanced techniques, we settled on a scheme that I was fairly confident a new painter could recreate.
With the scheme determined, the models built (and primed), it was time to start painting. I didn't take any in progress photos, so it's just the finished models.
Warcaster: Deneghra
Heavy Warjack: Slayer (she calls him Twitch)
Light Warjacks: Deathrippers (she calls them Clank and Gimpy)
Light Warjack: Defiler (she calls him Spew)
And her battlegroup
She named all of her 'jacks (because my wife is funny that way). She called the Slayer "Twitch", because she liked the name. Her two Deathrippers are Clank (because one of them has a crooked jaw, so she says he rattles when he attacks) and Gimpy (because his leg broke during assembly, so is pinned/glued together). The Defiler is Spew - it was her favorite synonym of vomit :) Finally, for our anniversary, I bought, assembled, and painted Deneghra's character warjack, Nightmare. This is the next step we will advance to - our 25-point lists will be the Battlebox + character 'jack + a solo (hers will be a Satyxis Raider Captain).
Character Warjack: Nightmare
Now ready to play a game - though her work schedule has been crazy lately so we haven't had much time to play. Hopefully we will get the chance in the next couple of days.
