Thats incredible free hand

Dude, very nicely painted pad! you know it's good work when you get so many positive replies for just one shoulder pad! lol :-) can't wait to see it all done!

Hi guys, thanks for the kind words but unfortunately I don't have an update for you- I've part painted his face and hair but I've noticed a mistake with the sculpting which I'll have to fix before I do anymore painting.

Sucks, but you better fix it now. As Redmaw is effectively the centerpiece of your army, you'll always be pissed off if you don't make it right...

No update....

Awesome, job.

I have just started a Space Wolves army of my own and i stumbled upon Dakka Dakka so not i'm scouting Ideas. No Blog yet but maybe one day

Keep up the great work

That shoulder pad.......Holy ! It looks awsome! Man! I hope I hope I get that good soon!

Just wanted to ask is this based of the codex or Imperial Armour 11. I don't know if you have the book, but as a space wolf player i bought it out of interest and it has rules for Bran Redmaw in it. if you are i was wondering if you are going to scuplt a model for the Redmaw, and if so what sort of size etc as i don't really know how big it is meant to be etc. The army looks really good and i love the scuplting, keep up the good work

Better keep an eye out for this blog :3

Hi folks!

I've been away for a looooooooooooooooong assed time: Been studying for exams at university so I have had literally no time to do any painting or sculpting. I will be updating this with more stuff over the coming weeks.

Also, I must be the only person to be pissed-off with GW bringing out the new paint set- I find the 'Eavy Metal Masterclass mix of paints for the basecoat on the armour to be the perfect colour and then they go and change the paint range?!

B*stards...

You are not alone my friend trust me I'm as jacked as you about the paint sets! :-( but on a lighter note i'm happy we'll see more from you soon! I am looking forward to seeing what you've done!

I want to do Fire Hawks goram-it!

I have issues...

Just keep space wolvin'... they're cooler

Yeah dude you do such awesome space wolves I'd stick to them! mind you, i wouldn't be sad to see you do a 10 man squad of Hawks just to break up your painting and see what you can do, then you can realise you want to stick with wolves :-)

I'm finding it really hard to get motivated into building more of these guys to paint- seems like so much effort! I have to finish Bran, build and paint 4 more Wolf Guard Terminators, paint 5 Long Fangs, build 2 more Grey Hunters and paint 3 of them, build and paint a Rhino and finish the Typhoon...

Then when I've done that little lot I want to start the Fire Hawks. I have a very nice conversion in mind for Knight Captain Elam Courbray...

Just keep painting just keep painting bit by bit

whatever you choose to paint i'm quite sure it will be awesome.

so whatever your projects are, consider me subbscribed to all your futur topics.
good luck,and remember if you don't even appreciate what you are painting. don't paint.


-and i'm backing up,backing up, backing up -

Been painting my Grey Hunter with Wolf Standard today. Seems to be going well and I'll stick some picks up of him when done.

Might stick some sketches of what Elam Courbray will look like- I know someone has already started a Fire Hawks thread on here so I'm hoping they don't mind me hijacking the idea (I saw a picture of them online actually while doing a random search for inspiration and BOOM! I was sold on them).

Hey, Elnibbus, just got a chance to look through your blog. Before I got hooked on Fire Hawks, I was planning a Space Wolves army and Bran Redmaw's Great Company at that. Great minds and all that....

You've got some amazing stuff here. Your painting is great, and I love the scratch built assault canons and the wolf tooth necklace on the contemptor, but the celtic knot work on Bran's shoulder pad is phenomenal!

Are you going to do a model for The Redmaw (assuming you have IA 11)?

I was actually going to use the rules for Ragnar Blackmane in lieu of using the IA11 rules for Bran.

Having said that, I was thinking about using a Vargheist to base the Redmaw on...

Hello folks!

I'm not deadbut have had a huge break from the hobby- I've literally done no painting or sculpting since my last post on this thread.

Anyhoo, I have however been mulling ideas over in my head for little bits and pieces, Space Wolves and others.

I do need to get some new paints- I'm running low on my beloved colours and though I'm loathe get the new ones, I think I'll have to unless I can get hold of the old ones from somewhere...

Nice to see you're back! If you need any new paints, check out Vallejo, you get more paint for less money and they rock!

Cheers buddy, I'm making a list of Vallejo paints as we speak- most of them are for a particular colour scheme I have in mind for something completely un-space-wolves-related...

Pretty stoked to see you coming back on board dude! :-) and you'll love the Vallejo paints, they rock my world! nearly as much as your modeling and painting does! can't wait to see some new stuff from you.

NF09... Damo

Haha! Thanks dude. I'm going order some vallejo paints next week when I get paid. Until then, I'm waiting on parts and I'll be practicing painting wood...

*Almost* time for an update! This evening was spent carving away at little bits of plastic to make things fit. I also spent some of it trying to find my fething green stuff out of one of the boxes which was left over from our house move last month (which means that a lot of my hobby stuff is lurking about in other boxes).

So, without giving away too much, I've been working on Cadians...

Hello people, update time!

So I might have lost the oomph when it came to my Wolves- fear not though, the break won't last too much longer. What I have been playing about with is the plastic Cadian kit and the Empire State Handgunners kit. The result?




Automatically Appended Next Post:
So, the plan is to use the Handgunner arms on all my plastic Cadians. The basis of the army is that of a Panzer Grenadier detachment from the WW2 era Wehrmacht. Unfortunately I couldn't get a better shot of the helmet on the sniper- it has been cut down to resemble an M40 Stahlhelm (very loosely). Colours used will be a grey/green "feldgrau" uniform and dark green body armour. Lasrifles will have wooden stocks.

This is by no means going to be an infantry heavy Guard army because converting and painting loads would take until mid so there will be Panzers! Hurrah!

Or, more specifically, Tigers...

Hell yeah man! they look pretty damn cool! can't wait to see some paint done on them, the idea sounds very interesting and I'm positive with your skills you can do some amazing work! I love the first guy shown with the rifle on his shoulder and bandaged arm.

:-)

Cheers nerdfest! I was going to do more tonight but I was in a vegetative state of mind and consequently sat playing battlefield 3 all evening. I will get back on them tomorrow. Basing wise, I'm thinking rubble a la French town circa 1944 (think end scene from Saving Private Ryan and you're onto a winner).

As for a name... The 16th Jager Battalion.

I'm tempted to make my own Storm Troopers for the actual Panzer Grenadiers, with a Half-Track in the planning stages.

Also in the planning stages are the aforementioned Tiger/Leman Russ- I have big hopes for that.

As for heavy weapons, Heavy Bolters will have wheeled carriages- again I refer you to the 20mm from Saving Private Ryan. Missile Launchers already look like panzerschrecks. Autocannons... Hmm, was thinking Pak 38 style.

Anyway, lots to ponder on!

Me as well! Tons of character

I know it's a bit fiddley, but what about adding las power cells to the guns? I think that would add a lot of realism to your troops.

Keep up the good work! Def subbed!
