I think leg plates mainly... though the ML is a bit overwhelming... but perhaps not without the leg plates.

It is different from your normal Space Wolf theme, but being different isn't always bad. heck, I see people paint "Imperial Fists" all the time on forums, and not use their yellow color scheme because they don't like yellow. Uh... then why not play something else, since these marine chapters are all different anyway, mostly based on color scheme? But to each their own.

Thanks for the feedback. It's in the hands of YB now. I dropped off the 4 TH termies and Dread yesterday. He can change them if he wants.

I started on my Necron bomber. WIP pic on my Necron blog. After that I'll be adding a few Imperial Knights to my collection.

These Vengeance Batteries have been waiting for some love for a while. Originally I was going for a darkened Steel look but have decided to paint them to match the rust colored portable table I built for Adeption. Since most of my Orks are this base color It'll fit in well.

First stage, the Bases. Once I get all the base colors down I'll drybrush them to help define the edges and weather them out a bit.

I have 4 total., 2 cannons and two Gatling.

Nice work!

Chunky and grubby. Will we get some crustiness too?

Beautiful paint jobs all around. Great stuff.

Those Space Wolves are solid.

The accent of red works. Each Great Company has a different accent color. Mine is yellow, which is GW typical because it is Ragnar Blackmane's, but red is legit.

He really won't need Wolf Scouts, unless you just want to convert cool models.

Thanks. Too bad I didn't get a shot of the finished termi's. I really thought it was my best work to date. Oh well maybe YB will someday post them.

Problem is I'm not sure what units he has now. I lost track. I did manage to pick up 10 more Grey Hunters. Thought I might make a 5 man squad and kit out the other 5 with special weapons so He has some other options to field different load outs.

I also got 2 drop pods for 30$ which I think i'll pass on to him ( i have 4 already)

These are not all that different. Most of the other termis has a red shoulder and red PF and red is the spot color for most of his troop type units. What I thought was gonna be overwhelming was the amount of gold accent. It seemed/ felt like i was 'bringing' the bling on these guys. Again both Dreads are not SW dreads and everything SW on them was added.

I find them easy and quick to paint, so much more than my Lamenters and like having painted minis on the table ( even when they are not mine ) and if I can help a bud out!

Looks beautiful SL. Excellent work.

Between getting ready for winter ( on the farm ) and life busy I managed to get some more sporadic work done. Vengeance batteries complete. Spent more time on these that I thought and still could do more. So calling it table top and moving on.
All four together

Gatling emplacements

Cannon emplacements

Those look fantastic SL. Very colorful and very much looking like venerated and doted over defensive emplacements.

Agreed! I really like the red and gold, especially on the base. Rather like that more than the black I did when I painted WMs

The googly-eyes on the big skulls are just TOO funny!

They are actually bolted nuts. That's why they look bigger than they need to be.

You should paint the nuts white and the bolt black. Just because.

Oh, yeah. That reminds me of a Halloween decoration I own. A wall or door mount with googlely eyes that yells at people as they walk by!

While cleaning my shop I had some spare moments to do some small projects. Most touch ups and repaints.
Repaint and touchup the Space hulk Libby. Originally was painted in a Homebrew chapter colors. Brought him in line for service to my Lamenters.

Another repaint/ touch up. Old Techmarine.

Finished putting the appendages on the TF techmarine.

Lastly the two Whirlwind launchers turrets.


I managed to get some more bits and now can kit out my rhinos in almost every variation. I believe I can do six Predators( with either AC or LC)or as 6 RB ( not every config ) or 2 as WW.
Trying to get to some of the half-finished figures completed. Next I have 12 scouts to finish. 11 Sniper rifles and 1 with a ML. This should bring me up to 17 total. ( 14 SR, 1 Sarge w BG. 1 ML and 1 Hvy Btlr) I have to think about doing the 2 LS storms for them at some point.

Also on the block is a half finished Bastion. Need to repaint it to the more rust color theme like the Vengeance batteries.

Nice work, Solar'. All looking good.

That Librarian is absolutely gorgeous Solar. Nice work

Nice to see those old figures re-purposed. Whirlwind turrets look great too!

Looking nice, I really like the old techmarine, its still a great model.

Nice. Really like the techmarines.

EDC

Yeah that tech marine is the canine's cojones.

Thanks Y'all.

Holiday incoming in this here United of States so I'll have a nice 4 day weekend. Hopefully I can devote some hrs to getting some stuff painted. Really trying to clean up the stuff half done.
Whats on that list...
12 Sniper scouts, Bastion, 6 Centurions and 3 Contemptors. I have a bunch of Marine Inf and bikes to do this winter as well!

Lastly a whole bunch of Knights.

Might get a chance to do some painting at some point this weekend.

For my US based Friends . Here is wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving and a day of feasting on Turkey, hanging with friends and perhaps watching some football ( or hunting, or reading/ posting on Dakka Dakka )

Happy Thanksgiving SL & all, travel safe!

Some work done over the Holiday... These are painted to match the Vengeance Batteries and my board. They are also in line with my Orks. A very rusted industrial Terrain.
Comms Array




Quad Gun




AA LC




Lastly Sniper scouts.. They are all painted to match my board and all the terrain I built for my FLGS.

I have 5 additional WIP scouts in the Que. They are normal and not snipers.

Some Mechanicus that I’m using as Servitors. Test figure.




Lastly the 2 Bastions WIP.

Nice holiday work! Looks great, is there a full army pic on thedisplay board coming soon?

Thanks LT.

From a Board standpoint, I have some projects to get updated to match the current theme. The Aegis wall and the bunkers I built for a previous Adepticon are on the list. A set of resin pipes and some Huge storage tanks as well. Once that is complete I'll get a group shot of all the fortifications/ set pieces.

On the Lamenter front. I need to finish the 5 scouts, 2 squads of centurions and the 3 Contemptors.

I'd like to get in a game this month as well. Wait to show off my modcubes.
