Couple new shots.

Full squad of the BA Hammernators I posted a preview of above. Super happy with how these guys turned out.



And a clearer pic of the Stormtroopers with the Eisenkern headswap and the power cables removed from their Hellguns cause I like the look better that way.

Been stupid busy with work lately so I haven't got a lot of hobby time in at all sadly. Bashed this guy together as a prototype for a small 500pt list I'm playing with in my head. I've never been a fan of the SM scout heads, they look super derpy, and putting a SM helmet on the scout torso looks even worse IMO. I had some extra Scion heads and ta-da!

Picked up Stormclaw because... well because I clearly need more bitz right?

Looked at the loadouts for the campaign stuff and promptly ignored them and went digging through my bitz box, I had just picked up a bunch of choppas from a site a month or so ago. So I decided that I needed a Wolf Guard pack rocking Frost Axes and StormBolters, because choppy shooty death yay! Totally stupid points wise, but... they ended up looking pretty damn sweet I think.

I'll do individual pics sometime this week after I finish the last two pack members.



Then I decided I didn't want to build Krom the standard way because that's boring. So, yeah. Will probably pick up a second Stormclaw box shortly and do a proper build of him.

I missed quite a few updates here, but everything is looking really, really cool. The Choppa-Guard, Logan conversion and sword-and-board SM with the Anvil heads are all just amazing.

Thank you sir, much appreciated!

All my paints are in storage, so I'm just going to be building stuff while I'm here in Vegas. I can't be bothered re-buying all of that stuff, even though I'm really itching to paint some of those Wolf Guard.

I met a guy here who does commission work and I'm gonna have him paint up the LoD squad I built, mostly because I cant be arsed with painting skulls and flames on things and I don't think I could do them justice. I'll post a before and after of those as well here soon.

Nice work!

So, as previously stated. I hate painting. I'm not terrible at it I don't think, I just don't enjoy it. I like building and kitbashing stuff way more.

I met Ryan from https://www.facebook.com/flexcoastdesign at the local GW store here in Vegas and had him paint up my LotD squad. I'm super happy with how these came out. Will likely have him take care of the rest of the Mortifactors force I have built.

Working on a Librarian for a small marine force. Cant decide which head to put on him. Help me Dakka, you're my only hope!!

And also because I felt bad amputating the DV Librarian's arm, he got an upgrade. I dont play DA at all so he will likely just sit forever with no assembled friends. So sad.

Fleshheads are </3, so the helmet automatically wins. >

Very nice work. I like your dynamic posing and the kit bashing is awesome and inspiring.

Normally I'd agree w/ Kepora, but somthing about that first head just looks right. I also just want to say I love the conversions. I think I may be going to anvil to buy some of those heads.

Thanks for the feedback folks. I think Im leadning towards either the hipster beard one, or maybe the bald head with the respirator from the newer tactical squad box. I figure if he's going to be a Raptor that kinda fits with the osmotic gill adaptation they make to their helmets.

Need to acquire a new tac squad box to do that though. In lieu of that I present helmeted Scout Snipers because the regular scout heads look extra derpy imo.

I am about 2 nights of work (building wysiwyg combi wpns) from having a fully assembled army for the first time in I dont know how long. It still needs painting, but 1850 pts of Space Wolf terminators (and 2 ablative wolves) is just about ready to maul the enemies of the Emprah! and pee on fire hydrants. Oooh and I scored a Masters of the Chapter set in metal off of Ebay for cheap. Really looking forward to chopping those up and making them more awesomer!

Couple of my Wolf Guard pack leaders.



Super happy with how this second guy came out. The wrist mounted combi plas was a pain, but it came out and it was totally worth the effort.



Aaaaaand some Ork Nob conversions I planned years ago. All of the nobs for a mythical Ork army are meant to be based off the old 2E Ogryns. They're proper grunty. I dig em.

Banana (terminator) for scale.

Good stuff there. Of course, now that you said it, you are obligated to make some fire-hydrant objective markers for those space puppies...

Fire Hydrants, oooor minions from Despicable Me?

Surely they count as Xenos right?

Xenos? Probably. Actually I think the best thing would be to model it as a scenic base for a thunderwolf cavalry model. A slight repositioning of the wolf's back leg and... bam! Objective secured.

I refuse to field TWC, I loathe them, but I might build that, just because it would be hilarious. I have something very special in mind for my TWC countsas models.

Landspeeder Storm for a small Raptors force. Sadly after tinkering and such I may actually drop the scouts and the Storm from the list, but... I have it now either way, and its magnetified!!! Except for a Multi Melta cause I didnt have one in my bitz anywhere sadly.Cobbled together a AC and a HF out of stuff. I have no clue where the flamer piece I used came from. Sentinel maybe? Either way, pretty happy with how it all came out. Speeder is magnetized to the stand as well to avoid the standard flight stand breakage and sadness.

Top down of Speeder showing where the magnet on the hull is.



Weapons


Weapons on the Speeder. Zooooom Dakka!! etc...

Fantastic work, excellent kitbashing!

Wolf Priest made from Coteaz & bitz! Pretty pleased with how this came out. I may do some more work on the helmet, not 100 on that yet, the angle on the wolf skull seems slightly off. I know Wolf Priests don't get Psyber Ravens but it always seemed odd that they didn't seeing as they are the literal choosers of the slain in the Space Wolf lore... black armored giants roaming battlefields choosing the worthy to join the sky warriors etc. Also the Coteaz pose looks cool, just needed a proper bird for the Wolf Priest.

Debating on filing down the back of the fur cape to put a backpack on. I think it may help tie him all together as a space wolf even more.



Caw Caw!!

Goofing around with a possibility for a different head last night. Kinda liking it.

Cool conversion! I like this head better too. Some great stuff you got here

Bah, no flesh heads; you're above that!

haha

@Kepora normally I agree, but I have a handful of fellows without hats in my Wolf army and I kinda feel like this guy looks like a proper creepy old guy kidnapping kids from battlefields to turn them into child soldiers for the 'Emprah!

I need to rework the wolf skull helmet too. I think this may be the one model that I end up magnetizing the head/helmet options cause I like the potential for them both.

Had an idea about how to do a Kasrkin kitbash that didn't involve me scouring ebay for the old metal models. Below is the first test assembley I think I like where it's going bit he needs a different backpack. I'm thinking some of the Catachan veteran packs will work better he's made of the following bits.

TS Hellgun arms - These will have the gothic trim filed off the shoulderpads and the scope cut down so it looks more like a reflex sight, which it really should be given how the rifle is configured in the sculpt. I've also seen a few people trim off the tip of the gun and just use the foregrip as the barrel and it looks ok. Not commited to that yet though.

FW Cadian heads with rebreathers

Cadian Torso

Madrobot Colonial Defense Force legs



Also my big mob of Wolf Guard all assembled and ready for me to put off painting them...

just a quick question, where did you get the storm ig stormtroopers? i have a few eisenkern heads spare and i would like to do the same thing you did?

The ones with the Eisenkern heads are just stock from the new Stormtrooper/Tempestus Scion box. Headswap and removed the power cables was all that was done to those. If those are the ones you meant?

awsome

First 5 test models for the Kasrkin.

Pretty excited about how these guys came out.







Oh, aaaaaaand Dante, because that GW model is old as dirt.

Damn! I love the quantity of unique miniatures on here, what a refreshing blog! Thank you
