Edward and I just received new models to add to our armies, so we both have a ton of painting to do now! We plan on playing with the units soon, so a battle report is in order too!
Our armies will now look like this:
Cryx
Pirate Queen Skarre - Warcaster
Slayer - Helljack
Deathripper x2 - Bonejack
Defiler - Bonejack
Skarlock - Solo
Pistol Wraith x2 - Solo
Gorman Di Wulfe, Rogue Alchemist - Solo
Satyxis Raiders x6 - Unit
Sea Witch - Unit Attachment
Total of 492 points.
I can also replace Skarre with Deneghra and replace a Defiler with a third Deathripper if I want for 495 points.
Protectorate
High Exemplar Kreoss - Warcaster
Crusader - Heavy Warjack
Blessing of Vengeance - Legendary Light Warjack
Devout - Light Warjack
Revenger - Light Warjack
Repenter - Light Warjack
Vassal of Menoth - Solo
Choir of Menoth - Unit
Total of 503 points. Ed is going to have to do a little tweaking to get the points right.

Protectorate of Menoth Painting - Repenter
Edward finally got a chance to paint one of his figures, the Repenter. It came out really well! He used a metallic bronze color, which looks awesome. The color is really more orange-ish, but the picture makes it look brown. Oh, and yeah, that's our bridge in the background too.
Cryx Painting - Deathripper 2
This is my second Deathripper. It looks almost exactly the same except it's mouth is open and I added some more blood to its head.

Warmachine Battle Report #1 - Cryx vs. Protectorate of Menoth
This is the first battle report between Edward and I. Cryx (389 points) vs. Protectorate (387 points).
The Battlefield
Here is the battlefield. Yes, our terrain sucks. We haven't had the time/money to get anything good. Pretty much everything is full cover but the blue thing in the middle. That is shallow water (rough terrain). Cryx is on the left while the Protectorate is on the right.
Round 1
Cryx started the game off and simply ran the entire army up their full distance.
Protectorate advanced up as well. The Choir sang Shielding Ward so warjacks could not be targeted by spells. Kreoss cast retribution on the Crusader and Protection of Menoth on the Choir.
Round 2
Cryx advanced all their units up. Deneghra cast death rage on the Scarlock. Scarlock cast ghost walk on Deathripper.
Protectorate upkeeps all spells. Advance units and Kreoss casts immolation through his Revenger arc node onto the Deathripper and hits it taking out its head. The Choir keeps shielding ward up.
Round 3
Cryx did not pay its upkeep on death rage. Defiler shoots at the Revenger for no damage, but gets corrosion on it. The wounded Deathripper retreats back. Deneghra casts death rage on the Defiler.
Protectorate upkeeps all spells and rolls to remove corrosion. Choir sings infuse to give all warjacks +2 to attack and damage rolls. Revenger charges the Defiler and misses with both attacks. Crusader runs and gets within melee range of the Slayer. Repenter charges Deathripper and misses. Kreoss and the Devout advance and Kreoss casts ward on the Devout.
Round 4
Cryx Pistol Wraith attacks choir acolyte from behind but is out of range. Headless Deathripper slams the Revenger and pushes it backwards. Defiler shoots the Revenger and causes corrosion. Scarlock casts crippling grasp on the Revenger. Slayer attacks the Crusader. Deneghra casts parasite on the Repenter. Deathripper gets two hits on the Repenter. Pistol Wraith shoots at Devout and hits the first time but misses the second shot.
Protectorate removes all upkeep spells and the Revenger takes a point of corrosion damage. Devout moves to engage the Deathripper and hits it. Kreoss casts anti-magic pulse to remove all upkeeps and casts clensing fire through the Revenger onto the Defiler. Cleansing fire hit the defiler directly and the AOE hit the Deathripper, but misses the Scarlock, Slayer, and Crusader. Choir sings Safe Passage. Repenter tries to move past the Deathripper to engage Deneghra, but the Deathripper's free attack hits and destroys the Repenter. Crusader attacks and misses the Slayer.
Round 5
Cryx Pistol Wraith shoots and kills two Choir Acolytes. Skarlock casts venom on the Devout. Venom causes corrosion on the Devout, Kills the Warpriest, kills the choir acolyte, and misses Kreoss. Pistol Wraith shoots at Revenger for no damage. Deathripper attacks Crusader from its back arc. Slayer uses its combo attack on the Crusader and then attacks again once. Defiler tries to bash the Revenger, but missed. Deneghra casts scourge on the Devout but misses. Scourge still knocks down Kreoss and the Devout even through the deviation.

Cryx Painting - Deathripper
So this is my first deathripper bonejack that I painted, and I really like it! Much better than the defiler, that's for sure! I added a bit of blood for effect. Next up will either be my second deathripper or my slayer.

Cryx Painting - Pistol Wraith
So this is the second of my Pistol Wraiths. This wraith is more into the world, but the tail end of his robes are still incorporeal. I added a lot of little detail to even put bullets on his belt, which I didn't think I'd be able to do.
Cryx Painting - Pistol Wraith
Ok, so I learned a lot from painting my first mini and I went out and bought some detail brushes. They made a world of difference. I'm still working out the kinks with dry brushing, but otherwise I think this model came out thousands of times better than the Defiler. Since the Pistol Wraith is incorporeal until it shoots, I painted this guy just as he is coming into the world, hence why only his outstretched arm and robe is painted.
