Space Wolf Drop Pod

I had this drop pod lying around for quite some time before painting it – To be honest I found it a pain to assemble and paint, despite the fact that I didn’t glue anything before painting it. None the less I’m quite pleased with the result. Especially the weathering made a nice impact.

Now I just have to paint a couple more to add real punch to a drop assault :)

Enjoy!

PIP: Angry Marines 2

I managed to get a little painting done last night, resulting in some progress on the Angry Marines. I Opted for dull camo colors on the unfortunate guardsmen, in order to keep the marines in focus.
 
Anyways, just a couple of Pictures to let show Progress on the Angry Marine project.
 
Ejoy!

Space Wolf Rhino / Razorback

I needed a ride for my Grey Hunters, so I got myself a Rhino – Well not really, I bought a Razorback, and assembled that so it could be a razorback when the Hunters wasn’t going to use their car. It is rather simple, just don’t glue the top hatch on the Rhino, and then you can switch the rhino & razorback top when needed. I magnetized the guns on the Razorback turret, just in case :)

To make the ride a little more Space-Wolfed-out I found some bits from the WFB Beastmen range – There I a lot of shields and stuff that is just right for Wolfifying vehicles and men.

PIP: Angry Marines 1

Painting has started on the Angry Marines - I went for a white undercoat, as this made a better foundation for painting the yellow powerarmors.

The yellow has been painted in the following way:

1. Airbrush Vallero AB Ocre (much like GW vomit brown)
2. GW Gryphonne Sepia wash
3. GW Golden Yellow layer
4. GW Sunburst Yellow highlight
5. GW Skull White edge highlight

The guy swinging the guardsman to the right is yet to get edge highlight of white.

Enjoy & have a nice day!

Space Wolf Dreadnaught

I made this dread for my Space Wolf army – The idea was that this really should be a monument over the fallen warrior and his greatness. That is why I opted for a figurehead of an anciet warrior. I had a couple of barbarian marauders from the early ranges from Citadel, and one of these had the pose that was suited for the task. Aside from that I added the tombstone on top and some spiky bits and a shield.

Notice the changes to the dread close combat weapon. I have used spear tips from the old skeleton spearmen from WFB for the claw-like talons – Easy but effective conversion :)

Enjoy!

Grey Hunters

A while back I painted these Grey Hunters for my Space Wolf army – They where the firs tones to be painted, hence the ones that where to define the painting style of the entire army. After having painted the powerarmy with edge highlighting, shading and other tricks I ended up with this:

 

 

Only problem was that the marines looked like they just came off the assembly line. So I decided to go for some weathering, and found a lot of inspiration in this article: http://www.coolminiornot.com/articles/1288

Here is the result:

WIP: Angry Marines I

I've been painting loads of marines and guardsmen lately, and got a little bored with that, so I decided to do something completely different... Well not really, as I ended up modeling some Angry Marines, to get some practice at modeling and painting yellow.

For those not familiar with angry marines, have a look at this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdCpF8o5LUo

Here are some WIP pictures - I've done a Little more Work on these after the photo shoot, but I trust that you'll get the idea of where these angry dudes are going.

I made 4 marines, 3 of them shown here as a teaser, the last one will remain a secret until painted.

Enjoy & have a nice weekend!
