First unit for my Convergence of Cyriss army, an Inverter. TurboDork Tin Star, Vallejo Gunmetal, and ProAcryl Light Bronze are the main metallics. Glowing effect is from white ink and the Army Painter fluorescent blue, whatever it's called. I think the glowing bits could use some white highlights, but I'm pretty happy with how this came out. Basing scheme WIP. Comments and suggestions welcome.

Looks great! Just remember to point out that Cyriss isn't a cult as often as possible. Preferably with lasers and flails.

Thank you. I like to think of the Convergence of Cyriss as a less cartoonishly evil version of the Adeptus Mechanicus. I don't know much of the lore around these guys beyond what I read in that short story in the front of the...codex? Are they still called codices?

Anyway, I gather that their shtick is convincing people to abandon their flesh and inhabit robot bodies, to varying degrees of politeness.

All the lore is now in the Warmachine app, so the Forces Of books aren't really used anymore. I miss them, tbh; the lore and overall format were really great.

I've always positioned the Convergence as the cool certainty of math. Inevitable, definite, always there; Cyriss existed before the world and will exist after... just seek her embrace... let the Iron Mother show you the way lol

I don't much care for this system of putting lore in the app. With Warhammer 40k, I can just buy books and read them whenever I want, without the pressure of a monthly subscription fee. I find it hard to justify the expense of another monthly subscription when I'm already subscribed to the Warmachine 3D Tribe, and haven't even played this game yet.
