WOOT! for the Rifleman!

*Smacks himself for not noticing this thread earlier* *SMACK*

Those are some good looking Space Wolves! Their style and mood is just perfect and I love the dynamism of their poses.
The Rifleman is sure a double serving of nostalgia...

Love the shaman conversion mate, very cool and again, fits perfectly with the barbaric look that you have nailed so well.

One question, whats the bar on the dreads exhausts for?

Cheers,

Dante

Why did you remove the side wing to the Drop Pod? Now the only way it'll land is on its' side.

The bar is on top of the body, not on the exhausts. It's an air radar. This dread is AAD-dread. I modeled it after a classic battletech mech (and before that, a macross robot?) called Rifleman. When I saw those twin linked autocannons, the Rifleman imaje instantly jumped to my mind, so I just had to do it.

The bad thing is, I ordered a wrong right arm autocannon from FW and now it doesn't match with the left arm... I'm still contemplating if I should order another arm or settle with the unmatching pair.

Nope. The dreadnought inside will lean on the opposite side doors when landing, thus keeping the pod balanced and upright.

Great looking Wolves man, I'm in the process of stripping & repainting my 6k odd points worth and you're giving me some good ideas and incentive too.

Started work on 12 Blood Claws. I plan not to give any facial hair on them. They haven't earned their beards yet! It'll be slow work to biggerise 12 models, so these won't be ready is some weeks yet.

Also started to paint a Rhino. Since I have had so much trouble painting the infantry, I figured to break the painters block with a vehicle instead. I should be able to finish painting this way before I finish building the Blood Claws. I hope.

I also own now Thunderbolt fighter from Forge World. I plan to paint it in SW colours. The pilot is SW bondsman, not a space marine.

Started work on a Baneblade too. I will paint it also in SW colours and the crew are SW bondsmen. With so much unfinished stuff on my plate right now, this tank is a low priority and I will build it over a long time while focusing to finish something else.

Not much to report, but the work still continues.

Looking forward to painted stuff! Anything - just finish a single Grey Hunter or Termi - it'd be so awesome to finally see your "finished" vision for the army and then drool in anticipation of all the new stuff to come.

We want updates!

What's up anyway mate? Where you been?

Like I said in the last post, I'm working on 12 Blood Claws. The basic biggerizing is boring work that takes long times and is not interesting subject for pics... When I get over the groundwork and start working on the poses and details, I'll take some pics.

I'm also painting a Rhino alongside the Claws. Still very PIP.

So nothing new to comment.

Great Work on everything so far! I really like the posing you've achieved!


I'll be impatiently waiting for your next update!

Long time, no see...

Well, summer is behind us and I guess it's time to get back to business... SW codex is only weeks away, so now I will return to the SW army. Or close to it anyway.

I bought the Space Hulk box and after seeing the great BA figures, I immediately decided to ruin them and turn them into Space Wolves instead! I figured this was a good practise to convert and paint these before the SW codex comes and I'll start working on my long neclected models again.

Here's pics of the small changes I made to the figures. Now I need to paint them.

Ha, this is already filled with win!! Im looking forward to the painted pics though.

I though about doing the same with my SHulk terminators, but as I'm already swamped with other projects I saw reason.

Nice to see that somebody else and especially someone talented took the task. Now get em painted!

I had always thought that the space hulk termies looked gunk cos of the red plastic, but I'm excited to see how your painting makes them look!!

I sure hope the new codex will allow you to field all your terminators!

Ha take that all ultramarine players! Sir you are right.

Fantastic models, i want a few like that, or a lot like of that, or a whole army like that, which ever comes first.

The codex is very flexible. It allows me to field up to 30 Wolf guard (I think) and even more with Logan Grimnar in charge.

But these termies are meant just for Space Hulk. Unless I get to play in a big Apocalypso game, where I could use them alongside my wolf army!

Could you write the method on how to paint your space wolves? the WIP shot you did in the 1st(?) page looked great. really can't wait for you to show some pics

Inspirational custom wolves, really nice log mr!

I haven't actually painted (finished) a single wolf yet.

I'm currently painting the Space Hulk terminators as wolves, so I hope I have something finished to show soon.

Hammer, you prove that to be in the company of wolves is to be in a great company indeed!

Keep 'em coming Hammer. Nice work!

Wow those space wolf termys converted over well . With all the bits in the Grey hunter box it should help seed things up for you ?

Yes, I'm eagerly awaiting the new Grey Hunter sprue! My Blood Claws have been on hold for many months now and I can finally finish them with the new bits!

Not long now.

Have you painted up those wolves yet? im really eager to see how you have done it!

Me too. Some pics Hammer!!

Well, incase you missed the "tale of..." thread, here's the first 6 finished Gray Hunters:

wow amazing stuff, what paints did you use for your grey hunters?

wow,this thread has only been dead for over a year...
