Beginning Cryx

This is my first foray into Cryx. I am building these Cryx models for my son so we can have tabletop battles. I bought the battlebox a while ago in the MKII era but the models are still great. The group consists of
Warcaster Warwitch Deneghra
1 Slayer Heavy Helljack
2 Deathripper Light Bonejacks
1 Defiler Light Bonejack

Cryx Battlegroup box from MKII era.

Assembly was done following usual process.....file and sand off any flash, wash all pieces in warm soapy water, dry, superglue figures together, pinning where required, e.g. arms to torso and pinning all the feet.

The bases are simple cork matting torn to shape and superglued to the plastic bases. The pinned feet are pushed through the cork and the holes marked in pen, then drilled through the plastic base. The models pinned feet are pressed through the holes and the pins and feet glued. Pins are snipped to length so the bases stand upright without rocking.

All models primed in black using Halfords car body primer.

The coverage might not be 100% following the first pass but the key to keeping all the crisp details is a few light passes. Any missed areas can be primed in a second light pass.

All the battlegroup are primed together. Double sided sticky tape is added to a wooden stick and the bases pressed into it to hold them in place. Keep them on the stick until all the priming layers are complete.

Needless to say, wear suitable masks for spray priming, especially indoors.
