This Satyxis Raider Captain is a part of my gradually increasing Cryx army to play Warmachine. She’s a fast solo that I’ve generally used in a second wave of fighting, at least in the unlikely event that she survives a turn of capturing a flag. Both of her attacks cause knock-down on hit which is obviously very handy, though I don’t find that the Scourge of the Broken Coast theme force (of which she is part) really needs a lot of help in hitting. She’s also a handy carrier for aura armour de-buff spells, notably Asphyxious1’s Scything Touch, as she can receive the spell then use her extreme mobility to apply it in the most helpful spot.
I ended up painting the Satyxis Raider Captain in a sort of small unit with the two named Satyxis characters (more on them later) and tried to keep the colour combinations different. The sculpt is showing its age a bit, and of course we can see the classic chainmail bikini and combat heels look so beloved of fantasy miniatures. Even with that criticism I found the Raider Captain to be quite a fun miniature to paint, and I might at some point get around to painting the second one that I got in a random eBay lot a while ago.
Next on the painting table: Axiara Wraithblade
Nicely done mate – are we due a Cryx group photo yet?
Cheers. We probably are due a group photo, but I’m on a bit of a roll with painting this force at the moment (and I have a bit more time than usual, thanks to COVID-19) so I’ll save it until I move onto a different project.
Your Cryx forces grow. 🙂
…very gradually 🙂

I’m seeing a pattern emerging here…
You mean of the Cryx force gradually emerging from the hellish depths of unpaintedness? I’ll get there eventually… but long before then my hobby butterfly will have alighted on a different flower.
Once again, I know the feeling all too well.. 😀
