Mortenebra has suffered the loss of a spider leg, a mech claw and heer right arm! I have the arm and claw but cannot find the leg. She’s quite spindly!
To update on my battlegroup/resume where I left off: the Nightmare’s pillar and small girl with the teddy bear have been mounted on a 25mm round base to be used as a Death Tracker token. I thought that they would take away from the Nightmare himself. It also means the Nightmare can be ‘proxied’ as Slayer. This means that short of a quick touch up on the Nightmare & Combine bases everything is painted up :
Here is the Nightmare;
As you can see the skulls still need doing, he needs proper fixing to his base which needs touching up.
And the rest of the crew as they stand now:
As you might be able to see : Denny needs her weapon fixed (again!) Mortenebra has lost a small leg which I cannot find (which is bugging me!) and the Combine need their bases done properly. Otherwise they look better than I remember!
One advantage of having a working army is that you can afford to wait and take time to build it up. This is one thing about Warmachine I prefer to warhammer. In warhammer you need 1500-2000 points pretty much off the bat. 1000pts are good but not many people want to play 1000 pts. In Warmachine small games are as ‘culturally acceptable’ as larger ones although I’ve not heard of many ‘duels’ (15 pt) games myself. Then again my experience is limited. What you may also see are the green ‘soul tokens’ I made for the Combine & Warcasters.
Also my legion beast got mangled in the move – decapitated, despined and de armed!! Cotton wool + box = no good! He’s now alive again and has better padding in the same box 
EDIT: Finally have been trying to figure what to buy for the grand ‘update’ at the moment it stands at the rulebook, the cryx deck, 2 plastic slayer kits (1 reaper then maybe a slayer or corruptor – I am also going to see if they are interchangeable…) 2 of the Warwitch Sirens (extra one means that I’ll need to modify/convert one – oh noes! 
) A necrotech & scrap thrall (for a Morty list) and I’m thinking 2 defilers as apparantly you have to give focus to nightwretches to make them AOE now and the defilers have the spray of acid DOOOM!
That said I still feel a bit short on the troops front… the Satyxis blood witches are anti-infantry apparently, bane thralls I’m just not sure on… bane knights look a bit kick-ass and would be easy to paint. I’m wondering also about MechThralls… Simply to have some fodder more than anything. I’m pondering about the bane thralls in that regards – the minis aren’t expensive (witches are!) and they have stealth which makes them a bit more (un)live-able. I shall have to postulate further.
