Ooo where did the ray gun you're using as conversion beamer come from?

Some cool conversions going on in here. Great work.

EDC

Thanks EDC!
The ray gun is a Maxmini Tesla Cannon. Comes in packs of five so I will be making more techmarine conversions

Been doing some work on finishing up some Wolfbrothers unit. Started painting Bonrod the Roarer and assembled the Herald from Truvor's pack.
Started work on a great wulfen as a counts-as daemon prince for if any of my characters roll up Dark Apotheosis, using the head of the clawed fined I turned into a tithed wulfen with some grey stuff

Started work on a magos-Malagra for my Taghmata force. Malagra are the tech-assassins, nasty buggers. This one is called Renard, and due to his wargear he's a bit bigger than most. He's mostly a marine Centurion with some 3rd party shoulder pads and a Khador Berserker Warjack powerplant. As well as making it a pain to get him onto a base, it'll provide a nice place to position the staggering amount of weapons and items this dude has

Lemme know what you think of Monsieur Renard!

Back to Space Wolves (for now)

Another unit that came about from random bitz-box rummaging, these two are the first of a six man squad of thunder riders with storm shield and thunder hammer

Been working on the Wolfbrothers, added some more to the Rapier crew but didn't have sufficient rapiers for them to crew. Looked at the Kataphron servitors for a while, then found these instead! Without the turrets, they're about the right size and with 5 in a box I now have 2 full squads of Rapiers

Morning all! Bought these a while ago to add some variety to my thunderwolf packs but, since I now have a lot of thunderwolves these guys were put away. Scrounging around the internet I came across some not too crazy fan rules for Khorne Berserkers on juggernauts and decided I'd add a squad to my Wofbrothers (who are predominantly Khornate chaos)
So here's the mounts, 1 have 2 of each sculpt, so I won't do a group[ shot until they're all finished. The last model has the colour scheme I'm going for, almost albino wolves with dark armour and riders

Working on a sub-group of Wolfbrothers, The Grey Wardens, to represent some of the genetic alterations they've come acroos while modifying their gene-seed to reduce the instance of sponaneous mutation. The Grey Wardens are strong, resilient, and when not fighting serve to keep the other crazier wolfbrothers in line. game-wise they're Plague Marines
This fine fellow is Duncan of the Grey Wardens
>>Plague Champion<<

And here we have....

Been working on my plague champion (counts as)
I think the chest plate needs something- icon, cables, etc. just something to break up the expanse a bit
What do you think?

Finished the first of the juggernaughts for my mounted berserkers! Needs a base, but I'll get to it

Evening Dakka! Been putting some more work in on the Wolfbrothers, nearly finished the rapier carrier and crew, and Duncan is pretty close too, just waiting on the shipment from puppetswar with my shoulder pads...

Also been working on the Space Wolves, some more fast attack to round the company out. Been quite a while since I played with bikes, but these ones will accompany the few I posted a long while ago to form a full-strength Swiftclaw pack, complete with attack bike. The Land Speeder will join the other speeder I've had for a while, possibly give some survivability to the unit

Working on a new unit! They're called Stormblood Thralls, and they are drawn from those aspirants who failed to become Space Wolves (and survived). Tough, well-trained and highly experienced, Stormblood units support the astartes in engagements where the full force of the Great Company cannot be brought to bear. They have limited genetic and cybernetic enhancement.
I'm not sure what to play them as just yet, but Dark Eldar Wracks has been suggested.
I made them from Khorne Bloodbound with spare Space Wolf and Dwarf bits

Cool idea for the Stormblood Thralls. Great conversion work, as ever.

First off, thanks to everyone for the views, suggestions and comments

Way back on page 1 I introduced Holgir Bearclaw, the Keeper. He's the leader of the Wolfbrothers, and the custodian of their more dangerous members hence the title, The Keeper. Rules-wise he's a Dark Apostle with multiple boons and the Slaughterer's Horns, Daemonheart and Crozius of the Dark Covenant from the Crimson Slaughter codex. Looking at the model I was using, however, he doesn't really fit. He's tiny, and just looks like a guy in power armour. So I remade him. Some Sternguard and Wulfen bitz, an Empire Knights banner top and the head from the original miniature, and he was reborn! Still haven't finished the painting, but let me know what you think.

I think that looks brilliant. He looks like an absolute bad-ass.

EDC

Badass indeed, and with a creepy zealot vibe, really cool model !

Afternoon ladies and gents!
Went converting at work this morning, came up with this gent for my Stormblood Thralls

Been working on my Jotunbrud, going to use them as Grotesques to accompany my Stormblood Thrall Wracks units.
Also started my first unit of Wulfen! As always, conversions through the unit,

Been working on my Wulfen Guard (Death Company, using the old metal Wulfen models) for a while now, and as I'm not prepared to pay stupendous amounts of money on ebay I've been trying to find some decent counts-as models.
Picked these guys up from Spellcrow; their Feral Wolves hands, heads and torso kits with the Wolves legs kit. What do you think?

Finally got my Puppetswar order, and finisehd up with Holgir

Kolvjon, called the Lord of Beasts for the composition of his Company, is Holgir's first successful space marine. Whilst he is almost entirely Wulfen, he retains enough will to accept orders and act upon them, and he leads his Company as an alpha beast might, always to the fore, his blade red with the blood of the foe. The beast he rides was a gift from Johran Redbeard, Huntmaster of the Wild Hunt, after Kolvjon saved his life.

Much later, when the Wolfbrother genome had been stabilised, Johran forged more beasts in the same vein as the one Kolvjon rode, giving the Wolfbrothers their first cavalry unit

Morning all!
A while back I bought a mixed bag of old minis from a friend who was getting rid of his stuff. Among the various randomness in there- Ogres in Empire uniforms, Viydaggs, banshees and undead, dragons and many, many daemon/ monster things, was this guy.
I have no idea what it was originally supposed to be, but for now I'm using it as a Dark Mechanicus spawn; some warped daemon-cyborg-thing they throw at their foes

If anyone has any clue what it was or where it came from, I'd love to know

Enjoy!

Dakka, I feel I made a terribly decision this morning.... I got all of my models out and started counting! Ye gods....

Over 200 Space Wolves, nearly 100 Wolfbrothers, assorted gribblies, at least 4 true 28mm historical/fantasy armies, warhammer fantasy Bretonnians, Elves, Dwarves and Empire, 40K orks and more counts-as forces, primarily of the 30K Militia/Cults list than I can safely poke a stick at... and not a single finished army in sight!

So I shall be expanding! More blogs for each army or force, updated as I (slowly) go.... So no more randomness on this blog, just 13th company-ish Space Wolves

Testing....
Haven't had much luck with the direct link thingamabob in the past so here we go....

The final terminator for Fith's Pack!

Johran Redbeard, Huntmaster of the Lost Companies, is a powerful warrior possessed of incredibly acute senses.



His greatest skills do not lie on the field of battle, but rather in a laboratory, for Johran is the chief geneticist of the Lost Companies. Through his tireless efforts the companies are supplied with wolves, riding creatures of all forms,





Jotunbrud for combat and heavy labour





And even stranger beasts, primarily as weapons

Some more love for the Wild Hunt- a big daddy Jotunbrud



I'm thinking of running Tyranids (don't recall if I mentioned that earlier...) to represent the weird variety of beasties the Wild Hunt has. Let me know your thoughts, or an alternative army I could use!

Also, some Swiftclaws with a difference! I have 3 packs of Swiftclaws in Great Company Jorek; Ingmar's Stormriders, Lassnr Thane-Seeker's Pack and Korst's Windriders. The Windriders use reconditioned jetbikes (if you're wondering how, an Iron Priest scrapped a heavily damaged Land Speeder and stuck the grav plates on a bike)













Korst started life as a Wolf Priest on bike, but he'll be getting a slight rebuild with power fist and shield. The rest of the squad will be getting the chaos skull helms too

Excellent, again, lots of crazy conversions and beasts that will fit the 13th nicely !

Loving those jetbike conversions. very cool indeed

EDC

Thanks KernelTerror and evildrcheese!

For your viewing pleasure (or not), more Wild Hunt!







The Bladebringer Troll gene-beast is bred for war, and arose when the ship of the Wild Hunt found itself alone in space and beset by Chaos attackers. Johran and his Wolf Priests frantically forged creatures to defend their ship, unwilling to spend the lives of their few battle-brothers until absolutely necessary.
In form, the Bladebringer is almost entirely troll with a small amount of human DNA. They speak halting Fenrisian Jurvik, and can understand simple instructions and plans. The pelts they once grew have been modified, and in place of hair they grow a synthetic crystalline fibre that grows into hard scales and is capable of turning lasfire without issue. Additionally, when gathered, their scales can be plasma baked to an incredible toughness and are used to forge weapons and armour.
In battle, these beasts rely on animal cunning, and their bloated forms are capable of swift rushes over short distances. The same material that armours them also forms their claws, and a swipe of their over-long arms can tear a man in two

New army! (everyone else groans...)
This guy a a Cronos Parasite Engine



Plus this guy as an Haemonculus



And these guys as Wracks



Makes a lovely Scarlet Epicureans formation from the Haemonculus Covens book!

Also, been working on my jetbikes, removed the possessed-looking bits from them. They might be desperate for wargear and weapons, but they wouldn't use possessed things. Stripping the bikes and riders, repainting them and then they'll be up too
