Going through my bits and pieces and found that I have several plasma blastguns a cataphract terminator arm with multi melta, a Legion Praetor head and Volkite pistol amongst a few other bits and pieces that I do not need.

I will stick them up on my trade post, but if you know of anyone who might be interested in buying or trading for them please let me know

That's quite a collection of random bits dantay!

Yup, I was lucky that some of the lots I got came with all the extra bits too, so there might be more to come, besides randomness = creativity = fun

Oh and I also have some combi plasma flamer and grenade launcher bits too.

Bits are always awesome! PM and lmk if there's anything you're after...

Hi Graven, how are things? I am really enjoying seeing your Dark Avenger coming to fruition.
I may take you up on the offer of bits and gubbins... I have a wish list as long as your arm hahaha...
And the same for you too, if ever on the hunt let me know.
Although its mainly SW and GK stuff that I have

Topping out my wish list is Asterian Moloc, but I cant justify £30 for 2 models when I only want the one, so unless I had a buyer in place for Ivanus Enkoi, I will continue scouring ebay and dakka trades.
Unless anyone out there wants to buy only Ivanus Enkomi the Minotaur chaplain!!! Get in touch, we can work out a deal.
I also need some Wolf Guard terminator storm shields, because I think the cataphracts will look brutal with the HH thunder hammers and these shields.... however round shields might be cool, which will require 25mm bases...... Gah coffee overload again!!!
And a big twin bladed axe, as I am thinking of converting the Praetor into Logan Grimnar, but not sure if the twisted torso will look a bit awkward and I'll need an axe har har har!! And someone to teach me how to sculpt pleated hair for beards etc.
And does anyone know where I can lay my hands on some microbeads???

Thanks mate! It's a lot of fun, in a masochistic kinda way I'll hunt you out an axe. Tube tool's a good way of making pleats (you use it at 45 degrees). What are microbeads?

Microbeads or glass microbeads.

I first saw them when this guy beamo used them in a tutorial, and I think also on his Space Wolves dreadnought (which is beyond cool, you should check it out)

He used them in this tutorial http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/0/259197.page#1015669

I am going to use them on the Praetor to make studs on the areas I plan to fill in with liquid greenstuff.

Thanks for the axe too

Where did you get the tool you mentioned for making (manly) pleats?

Not much to report on the modelling front today.
Busy with work, weather pretty bad and not so nice hotel food tonight..... Oh and worst of all, I got sniped for a Land Raider Prometheus on Ebay!!!!! Grrr... My quest for Forgeworld continues....

On the plus side the courier picked up my parcel of 15 Horus Heresy booksand they are now winging their way to Jay170788, who I hope will enjoy them as much as I did.

How has your day been so far....?

Grrrraaaarrrrggghhh!!!!
Why must I be thwarted by getting sniped off ebay all the time???? I hope the annoying 'person' enjoyed paying retail!!!! Grrrr

Ah fate, she is often cruel...

"Sigh" it's not fate... It's the Emperors will, that my marines should slog across the board on foot, dodging pulse rifle, shoota & shuriken....

Still stuck in work, prepare for a plethora of pictures at the end of the week of mainly dismantled models, an update on what I bought in the past 18 months... Should I put my Grey knoights here or on a new thread??
I am also selling off my 2011 games day boarding marine in a fetching shade of yellow if anyone is interested, pictures on my dakka swap shop thread.

GKs here! Unified blogs are the way forward.

Okay then, Grey Knights here it is then

Although for anyone who has read Emperors Gift, that may not be such a good idea hahaha....

Aaron Dembski-Bowden is a great writer, and a Fenrisian female Inquisitor to boot!!

Haha great neews today, got a big supply drop from inmygravenimage today.... Lots of great bits and stuff. I am so kooking forwars to what I can do with it all... I also won 5 wulfen in ebay

Hey guys, well another week has passed and some more bits and pieces in the pipeline.
I promised pictures a wee while ago and now I hope to oblige.

remember the 4 squads of Heresy era terminators, well here they are. I managed to dismantle them mostly without damaging them and now they are in baggies, getting ready for the big dip. Most have paint on them and I am keen to strip them down and start again



This is the Legion Praetor which I plan to convert up to a Wolf Lord or maybe even the Great Wolf



You can see how wibbly the sword is.. I have plans for that!! Beside him you can see my bag of microbeads, which will hopefully make some good studs/ rivets in the amour. These are the beads in question 0.7mm each... Scary small



I got a bit bid happy on ebay.... The wife hasn't found out yet and 1 of the things I came away with was this squad of wulfen with a beat up Ulrik and a wolf guard with multi melta... Ulrik may be trading identities and becoming a Lone Wolf with a inmygravenimage custom axe



Also from inmygravenimage came a few more things: a bag of goodies



A drop pod



And a couple of Land Raiders, which I will patch up... Flamer may become my most ambitious project to date But what should it become



Lastly in my ebay frenzy I got a pair of models... of which I have been wanting 1 of the 2 for ages.... The one I want and will keep is.....



ASTERION MOLOC!! Big conversion plans for him, almost a shame I may not be able to save that Spartan style helm... And the other is Ivanus Enkomi. He is such a nice model but I do not think I can get him to suit my SW's, his helmet is super wicked awesome and would look perfect in the legion of the damned.
If you know anyone who wants to buy him, point them in my direction £10 plus postage



I have 2 more things coming tomorrow I cant wait As that will be me done for a few months atleast

That's some good nerd crack there glad to help you in your habit

Yup, I am grateful for your help with that, the wife might not be so polite when she sees it all though hahaha

^ Too true
I'd consider tarting the helms on the swap shop, or target folk who play smurfs or minotaurs.

Nice haul! Those are really cool figures dantay... wow.

Thanks gitsplitta

Well my supply drop is finally completed... I hope you like, its more Forgeworld goodness!!



The mighty Achilles and the powerful Helios... Big guns never tire and I never tire of big guns

Wow... those are impressive!

Wow! Busy boy...

Got busted last night by wifey!! She found my stash and I was betrayed by the bank account transactions :p

She has decided that I have an uncontrollable model addiction and I should lay off the purchasing of plastic crack for a few months....

I actually told her I was going to put money back in to the accounts with what I sold, but she said she didn't care about that, so I promptly shut my mouth (unusual for me) incase she remembered what I had just said and agreed wholeheartedly and wouldn't buy anything for a few months

The weird thing is I told her what I was buying and I had already decided no to buy for a while so I could work through what I now have and now get to keep any pennies I make through selling models & books ... So in a weird way its a win-win for me, just by letting her think she is right

Smart.

Some excellent stuff here mate as i said elsewhere, i felt bad stealing the other guys thread for mutual wolfy appreciation.

I might just start my own thread to motivate myself...

http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/0/580826.page#6557940

There you go!

Hi WolfSmerf, thanks and yes please do start a thread... Your wolfguard looks great and seeing what you can do could give me and others a kick up the backside to crack on with our stuff too
Besides us wolves have to stick together, its a big dark galaxy out there on the sea of stars

Feel free to add the link here for your thread, so we can see what you get up to

I have been doing a wee bit of painting tonight, killing time on the rig.
And I need some advice on my models, I may go back and do the gold as I am not 100% happy with it, but please give me some CC.
As you know I am doing these in the old school colours and will use them as Grimnars elite Wolf Guard, here are some pictures and lets see what you make of them


Group shot, as you can see they are in varying stages of construction, they may also not end up being in the same pack, the Heavy flamer needs finishing up, he will get a power maul


I havent worked on the gold or steel for this guy yet, infact he is still pretty much just base colours. What do you think of the shoulder guards, should they both be grey? Or does it make him too monochrome?


Done some work on the gold and steel, looking okay I guess, loooks awful if I really enlarge the image Initially it was going to be grey to the left shoulder and then yellow and black pack marking on the right. I am not too sure? My concern is I will stray into the realm of the Iron Warriors. What do you think?


The steel needs some smoothing out on this guy, again what about the shoulders, black for the great wolf mark and yellow for the pack, same concern as before, but I do not want it to be boring, ideas please? Also how do the claws look??


Dont worry he's armless Is mixing the steel and gold looking okay? Also, I have a feeling they look a bit generic, but the armour doesnt leave much room for freehand, I have considered turning the leather bits to fur..... not sure exactly whats needed to make them stand out.

Here's your cahnce to have your say and help nudge me a long a bit Any hints tips, criticism or praise gladly accepted

Thanks for looking

I love the claws, which blue did you use? I have been wondering how to get a similar effect. I think the first model needs at least one yellow pad as the two grey is a little bland like you say.

Like the leather but they seem to be missing the essentially wolfy pelts, especially for wolf guard.

Best I can do on phone at 3am will have look on laptop tomorrow. Really like the grey, I was torn between blue and green for mine.

Excellent work Danny. Those are coming along swimmingly!

Hi WolfSmerf, thanks for your ideas, yes I am thinking double grey might be bit dull too.

The claws were different shades of blue, first coat was enchanted blue I think, with anAsurmen blue wash, then heavy drybrush of enchanted blue again. Next was a drybrush of hawk turquoise leavng it a little streaked to see the drker blue below, Next a light drybrush of ice blue near the edges and finally a very light drybrush of mithril silver to get the sparkles Nice and icy shiny

Thanks Gitsplitta! Any tips or ideas though, which do you prefer?

Also I forgot the heavy flamer guy, need to finish his nozzles.
