Those look like LRC hurricane bolters. Giant tank incoming?

Love the shield!

Yeah, we have a LR Crusader on the block. Gonna be a ride for Arjac and his boys. Gonna add a couple more terminators just to fill it up.

Cool stuff as ever!

Thanks man, trying to get this army wrapped up so I can start my next one. Still hope to pull off Minotaurs.

A quick WIP of the Land Raider. It surprisingly easier to paint with the sponsons off. Those Grey Hunters will be the second part of a ten man squad.

When you take all the guns off, most imperial vehicles are just big boxes. It’s all the random baroque grubbins they stick everywhere that make them a pain. Plus the sheer size.

Coming along nicely.

Yeah I know what you mean about the boxes. I think GW does a good job making super advanced armies look baroque. I mean half the IG tanks would look equally at home assaulting an alien planet or crossing the Marne.

Finished up the Land Raider. I think it worked out pretty well. I used the wolfy bits from the Storm Wolf because it makes no sense to put stuff like that on an aircraft.

Really cool stuff!

It’s got a healthy amount of wolf on it. GW tends to go over the top, so it’s nice to see some moderation. I don’t know why you would hang pelts and tails off of a flyer; ferensian wolves might be tough, but they are not surviving an orbital drop on the outside of the hull. Fancy up the tank nicely though.

For some reason the hurricane bolters on the back spot looks off to me. It might be that I’m used to seeing them modeled on the front position. I know I prefer the TLLCs on the rear, they look off up front to me. Odd personal perspective opinion. Both spots are valid.

Keep up the good work!

Thanks gents. I agree with you on the sponson placement. I usually place them up front reasoning you don't want to shoot your own guys when they come out the side door. Then again, these guys are Space Wolves. They go out the front. Going out the sides are for wimps and Ultramarines.

Managed to finish the close combat weapons for the dread....

I really like the shield man, great job!

Many thanks Ustrello. Here's. Big ole pile of plastic crack I have to work on. I've also got 2 drop pods, 5 more Thunderwolves and a stormwolf. Good times.

Ooh, vindi. Love the way those look.

Looking forward to seeing them painted!

The bronze on the shield looks fantastic, nicely done!

You really are a painting machine.

Thanks gents I'm glad you approve. Here are the last of the Grey Hunters. I have some Swift Claws on the table and they should be done tomorrow.

Grim looking bunch of wolves you have there. Well done. You seem to be plugging away at these guys at a quick pace. Finding them easier to paint them some of the other armies?

Very nice man, you planning on selling or keeping this one?

@Nevelon- Thanks man. And yes, these are fairly eay to paint. The armor is only 3 colors and everything else goes quickly. Vehicles take a little longer putting the wash in the recesses. Totally worth it. Speaking of which, Stormwolf and Vindicator are on deck.

#Ustrello- Thank you sir, and yes these boys will hopefully find a happy home via ebay. Its a tacid agreement with my wife. I can build these armies as long as I sell them to fund the next. Cant really blame her, this is hobby is a tad expensive.

All looking grand!

I don't think I could ever bring myself to sell an army I'd put any work into, but selling one to fund the next a) means someone else gets an awesome army and b) you don't get bored and c) you don't end up like me, knee-deep in Space Marines and wondering where it all went wrong!

I know all about piles of space marines. A few years ago when I got back into the hobby I had around 5 armies! Then I found ebay.

So, Swift Claws ready to roll.....

Well as long as it gets you some money , hopefully you do have an army or two to keep though.

Naw man, no spare armies. I don't even know how to play! Ive been meaning to for years, just can't find the time.

In the meantime, steady as it goes...........

Wow seems a shame man, you paint such amazing armies.

So here is the finished Vindicator. I was looking at it thinking it is missing something, at it is. Forgot to put wolfy bits on it. I'll fix that. The terminator with the SS and assault cannon will join Arjac's boys and fill the Land Raider. There are 2 Lone Wolves and the dude with the cape is the Battle Leader. I can't stand that silly cape, but I guess it sets him apart.

Looks great! I think the Vindi could use some weathering on the dozer blade. I know the rest of the army is pretty clean, but it there's one place you can rely on to get dinged up, it's the immense piece of metal strapped to a tank and used to bulldoze through walls!

@paradigm- I'll think about messing up the blade. It certainly needs something. In the meantime, first 3 TWC are done. Better pics when I get the bases done.

Looking good so far man, you can do a lot of really cool things with those large bases.

So, been a little while. Stormwolf is coming along nicely I think. Got the TWC based, pics tomorrow I hope.

Very nice so far, don't know if I have said it but I am glad you are going for an actual grey instead of baby blue.
