Hey migs, I know I'm really late to the party here but I wanted to let you know how excited I am to be able to watch you produce these models. When I first joined dakka several years ago, you were one of my big inspirations for working to improve my painting and modeling skills. (thanks for that!)

Onward!

Is there a painted army shot anywhere? The shots of individual units are very cool, but the only army shot I've seen was on your blog and in black and white.

Am I right that the infantry are done, and the vehicles yet to be painted?

Love the infantry, excellent job on the recent centurions in particular!

I guess I'll take that as "no completed army shot" then

Thanks gents!! Much appreciated.

No entire army shot yet, I rely on my 6s for mini photography and it is stunningly good for close ups, but haven't yet figured out how to get the best possible group shot. The same tricks simply don't work.

And yes, infantry done, and vehicles being painted at this very moment, but lots of competition from different projects.

Wow Migs, I wandered your ironsleet site for awhile and was truly inspired by your Dark Librarians. Amazing conversions, great quotes, and fantastic mood you have created with your pictures and writing.

Thanks Ice Angel. Happy to hear you like it. It's been a dream come true for me, 4 like minded, but very different hobbyists have managed to craft a blog very fitting to our approach and the discussions and reach has been better than we could even imagine in the beginning of the year when we set it up.

Vlka Fenryka

A tribal pack of elemental hunters, the God Emperor’s engineered executioners, the color of granite and thunder clouds. The Sky Warriors of Fenris.

Canis Helix is the unique genome of Fenryka Astartes, superior even to Astartes. It’s a gift of bestial fury and a sixth sense, but equally a curse of darkness of the Wulfen. For each Sky Warrior, this is a life long battle of body and mind, of fear, control and cold.



Fenrys,

Good to be back. Pilgrym https://ironsleet.com/category/the-pilgrym/ but faint echoes on distant terra, my nordic nostrils drawing deep of the achingly fresh and icy air of Fenrys. I’m really re-energized, by what to me was a historic effort and hobby spectacle. From the name, to level of excellence, I think it would have made an utterly amazing official Project even. a 28mm game of Dystopian grandeur Called Pilgrym.

And now I know exactly what I want to do. Get back to properly playing Warhammer 40000. Trustful, that Games Workshop is about to adjust the system that has become a PHD requiring army building degree of complexity, into a fantastic core game that is approachable, rich and fluid.

Wulfen,

There was a lot to like with the new GW Wulfen models – except the big idea. I never saw the Wulfen as some perfectly formed sub species of skinny lupines, but monster Astartes, each a unique breakdown of Astartes physique through the cancer and curse of the Canis Helix. Huge, dark, lumbering beasts, impossibly agile for their sheer size, each a unique horror. I also saw the transformation as a little more sliding in scale, certain brother’s starting to bear the mark, and others all gone. Atleast in the case of my Company, returned from the Warp after ten millennia of hunting the Traitors, bringing home a trophy.

Some ideas are born ready, One look at the Forge World Blade slaves in the Warhammer World store, and on to build these. I’m really pleased how they turned out and currently cursing I used all my black primer for the mammoth Stairs. Cannot wait to get painting.

FINISHED!

Holy crap, it's migsula!


Cracking work.

Wow. These look really fantastic.

EDC

Man, those look amazing! By the way, will you be converting any other primarch models? Guilliman, Corax, and Perturabo would be pretty interesting kits I'd imagine.

That is seriously impressive.

Stunning work migs... both in concept and execution. I really like you take on the wulfen. Very primal.

Thanks guys. I've got some new work to share soon
