Helloo Dakkadakka,

thought I'd post some WIP shots of a Wolf Guard Terminator that I'm working on for a painting competition next month. I've gone for a shooting pose with the Assault Cannon but changed the dynamic so that it actually has one- the original arm looks a bit limp in my opinion and doesn't give the impression of aiming and firing the weapon, more of tracking a target maybe. I've modified the Assault Cannon itself, drilling out the barrels, modifying the feed links and adding a roller and ejection port to the side of the weapon- the theory in my mind being that it could be fed with a linked belt when not being fed from the hopper (hence the roller).

Anyhoo, some pictures:

Love the spent brass; that's a really nice touch. did you make those or is that part of a kit from somewhere?

Self made- cut up lengths of plastic rod (1.5mm stuff) and drilled them with a 1mm bit

Nice, this is looking awesome already, can't wait for the finished product

And I agree with the whole aiming thing

That looks awesome. Though it probably looks a bit "limp" normally because it would be extemely heavier to hold the cannon like that. I love the spent cartridges. Wolf guard terminators are some of the best models out the IMO.

Yeah the backpack is really cool. Im definitely doing that when i build my AC guy! But otherwise the pose is cool and i like where this is going.

Thanks guys. The left arm will be a Power Fist, probably just one straight off the sprue- there's one that is slightly elevated which will offset the heavy right hand side. There will be more spent cases on the ground as I imagine that the hopper can hold a few hundred rounds at least.

As for the base, well, snow I guess. The loose brass will be painted separately from the snow base and pushed into the snow as if they've landed in it.

Or perhaps have a shallow puddle of melted ice at the front of the base and have a few at the bottom... Oh I dunno, something.

Have done a bit more to this tonight but having not charged the camera, pics will have to wait. The base has been built up and covers about 2/3rds of the area, sloping slightly upwards towards the models left hand side. It's going to be a snow base but the front 1/3rd of the base will be a pool of melted snow/ edge of a larger water feature with spent brass and tingz.

Been idle for a while but thought I'd share what I have so far- pics are piss poor but hopefully you'll get the idea! (This is actually a bit of a practice run at using resin and chipping techniques on armour).

wow, really cool stuff mate.

Subscribed!

Cheers ^^

I need to sort out my lightsource because there's about 3 levels of highlights and chipping on the model that you can't frigging see in the pictures.

I just need to finish the gold areas and the spent cartridges, finish the wolf head details on the assault cannon and power fist and free-hand on Bran Redmaw's company marking on the right shoulder pad.

Oh aye, finish the base with some snow. And grass, And cartridges.

looking great . i like the nice clean smooth paint work.

That is a fantastic model.Dynamic pose and clean paint job. What head are you planning on using?

Thanks for the comments

I'm going to be using one of the ones supplied in box- the shouting one with the braided hair to the left.

Woooo! Finished today. Bit apprehensive about the snow but in the end I just blatted it on with a big brush and hey presto:

That, sir, is very very cool. The spent brass in particular makes it look like he is rocking and, indeed, rolling. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you

I've got 4 more Wolf Guard Terminators in the pipeline and some Long Fangs to do now...

that dude is just...... WOW!
