Cheers, mate! Seeing a stunning army like this and knowing that I might have contributed a small part to its conception somewhere along the line is really cool! Again, absolutely fantastic work!

By the Dark mechanicum!

It's been a little while since i've dropped in on your Blog and good lord am i impressed! That display cabinet is absolutely fantastic. It makes me want to build one like it and make it look like the depths of a forge world for my iron warriors!

I just love this atmosphere and theme, it's wonderful and i can't wait to see more!

Thanks, ThunderFury! I just checked out your blog as well and DAMN your army is looking good. Post an army-wide shot so we can see all of it together!

**JeffyP**

I've just about completed the cabinet and am now thinking about where exactly to hang it up in my gaming room. Then it hit me: I've never posted photos of my gaming room! So, here we are.

We moved to our current house two years ago. My lovely wife decided that I could have the entire walk-out basement for myself. YES! Until we moved here, I was always confined to a single desk or area to do all of my hobbies and work. Well, now I can spread out! I have a computer desk for gaming and work. A hobby desk for model building (and sometimes painting). A coffee table (with lamp) that I usually paint at where I can also have the TV on right in my line of sight.

In the back I have our old kitchen table for my gaming. My neighbor and I play a lot of Xwing here. There are two display cases though I'm not a huge fan of the tall glass one. Just too much in there! Also, you can see my dog, Petey.

**Inevitable_Faith**

You have a beautiful space there! Very jealous. It's amazing too that it's above-ground and not a basement, there's so much natural lighting it looks like it'd be amazing to play there. As a neat-freak I also see that you keep it very tidy and organized, that gets a huge

from me!

As for a place to hang it up as much as it pains me to say this I think it'd look best right where you have that Watchmen picture. The pain of not enough wall-space is all too real for any collector

**evildrcheese**

That's an awesome gaming/hobby area.

**LostCarcosa25**

That is an amazing setup you have there (as well as a very kind wife)! Your desk in particular is fantastic. Like Inevitable_Faith, I think it would look best where the Comedian is hanging. The space to the left of the two bookshelves & directly above the backpacks (in the third photo) may also be another spot to consider.

**JeffyP**

Thanks, guys. Come on over to play a game if you're ever in Ohio!

I think you're both right. Thanks again for the advice. As much as it pained me, I took down the Comedian poster. He's one of my all-time favorites! Oh well. The cabinet is up and I took a few pictures. Still need to fix the door magnet and paint it so it's not a glaring white rectangle in the top right corner.

**Januine**

BOOM!!! That is just beyond fantastic! What an amazing piece to have up on the wall. Couldnt look better. Great stuff fella

**LostCarcosa25**

Np, JeffyP. That case is too

cool. Looking forward to seeing whatever you have planned next.

**GentGiant**

IMO this is an example of the product of having a passion for what you do. You clearly have a passion for the conversion and painting and it shows through. Infinite thumbs up!!!! I wonder when someone is going to offer you serious $$ for your stuff!

**JeffyP**

I appreciate all the great feedback! Hopefully the second one is as good. I'm just now starting to figure out the layout for my Chaos Wolves.

**JeffyP**

Speaking of the Chaos Wolves, I have a few updates. First up are my Wulfen. 2 Claws and 3 Hammer/Shield guys. I'm pretty happy with how they turned out. Still need to finish "winterizing" the bases. Hope you like them!

**evildrcheese**

The Choas Wolves are looking great. Fantastic work on the Wulfen.

EDC

**Big H**

They look great !

**Januine**

Wow Jeffy - those convs are looking awsome and a fantastic paintjob on top. Really great work fella

**Guildenstern**

amazing set up, beautiful conversions! love your stuff!

**JeffyP**

Thanks, everybody! The Wulfen were somehow purchased, built, and painted while other long-standing projects are just sitting around... Oh well!

Up next is my Murderfang Conversion. The goal was to make a Dreadnought-like war machine that really looks as though it could wipe 8-12 men per combat turn. Hope you like him!

**JeffyP**

Oh, No! I was just looking back through my blog here to give you all a page reference for the initial WIP pictures of Murderfang and they're not here... sorry! Here are the photos I have of the build process.

**l0k1**

Amazing stuff here! I wish I had your kit bashing/greenstuff skills!

**KernelTerror**

Wow, that is an amazing dreadnought, really brutal, and loving the beastial shaped leg, making it easy to picture him rushing into the fight. Congrats !

**evildrcheese**

Holy Cow. That Murder Fang conversion is totally boss. Amazing work.

EDC

**Januine**

Wow. That piece is sick!!!! Seriously awesome conversion an a spot on paintjob to go with. Really fantastic stuff

**jhe90**

Nice dread, well chaos, wolf, hybrid monster.

Its feral, and brutal, perfect

**KrautScientist**

On the one hand, the converted Wulfen don't do much for me: The models are just so inherently goofy that not even your valiant efforts manage to redeem them in my eyes

But whoa, that Dreadnought! That is some spectacular work indeed -- I especially love how you've managed to give him a humanoid, but also subtly bestial, quality. In fact, I cannot help wondering what he would look like with a longer neck emerging from that cowling around his head and a juggernaut (or even Maulerfiend) head. But anyway, stellar work on that beast!

Thanks, everyone! The second Murderfang was released I was like "Oh hell yeah, but let's maybe make him not waddle into battle..." and here we are. I appreciate all the good feedback!

Yeah, I hear you on the Wulfen. Goofy is as goofy does. They were fun to build though!

And regarding the Murderfang head, perhaps you have a certain Dreadnought in mind?

**JeffyP**

Here's a few shots of Murderfang next to my Imperial Knight. I'm happy with how the color scheme is turning out model-to-model. Can't help but feel like the Knight is a proud papa!

**Big H**

Awesome games room matey , actually better than my FLGS !
And those last two models look just perfect , nice one matey !

**JeffyP**

Thanks, Big H. I may have to start charging admission to play here!

Well, I'm on to a new project. I've always LOVED Chaos Space Marines and one of the biggest reasons I got into the game was when I saw a Khorne Juggernaut... what's not to love?!? Playing CSM has always left something to be desired. My play style favors fast, hard hitting CC units. I was all about mobility in 5th and 6th Editions (and now EVERYONE is in 7th) and Chaos just never delivered like I wanted.

So it got me thinking... how can a field a whole slew of Juggernauts, build fun conversions, AND have a fast, competitive army? Cue the SPACE WOLVES.

So here we go! I'm staring on a Counts-As Space Wolves Army themed as Dark Mechanicus. Juggernauts are the perfect fit for some counts-as Thunderwolves. Fenrisian Wolves open up possibilies as do Bikers, Dreadnaughts, and Drop Pods. Plus, playing as an Imperial Codex opens up so many conversion options that I never had before: Imperial Knights, Astra Militarium, Adeptus Mechanicus... you name it!

Some of you may remember that I started my Chaos Wolves (Dark Mechanicus) back in June 2015. What finally sealed the deal for me were Juggernauts. They've always been my favorite model and when Khorne Daemonkin was released without them (besides HQs) I finally gave up hope of ever fielding them en masse. If a dedicated Khorne book doesn't have Marines riding Juggernauts and/or Bloodcrushers, then what book will?!? NONE I TELL YOU! NONE!

Anyway, that was the final straw. Chaos wouldn't let me field an army of my dreams so I had to look elsewhere. Space Wolves Thunderpuppies were a rough equivalent so here we are.... I give you, my Chaos Thunderwolves. Six Total: two units of three each. Two Powerfists/Storm Shields and one barebones guy.

**JeffyP**

The Chaos Wolves were raging through my FLGS tournament. Had a great time and did very well too!
