Looks good,I like the Ven Dread.

Holy crap! I wish I could use GS that well. You sir, are an inspiration.

Thanks for the feedback!

Tonight I should have new progress shots of the Ven Dread up plus some sort of update on the Fangs.

Looking great so far.

Space Wolves FTW!

Those old long fangs are so cool! They make me want to get into vintage space wolves.

Thanks guys!

Here is the Dread bout 95% complete. I still have a couple of things to clean up. The Wolfs head on the AC didn't quite turn out like I had hoped, but over all I'm happy with the conversion. Now that I've done this conversion and have banged out the wrinkles, I will be able to do another conversion like this and it will be much easier next time.

I really like your slate gray color scheme. Nice and clean! Your conversion look really nice as well, can't wait to see them painted.

I monkeyed with the wolfs head on the AC muzzle and now I think it looks much better. Painting has commenced! I did the base work for the metallics, blocked out the grey on the Dread except on the CCW. I had started out by paining the CCW red but it was too stark of a contrast; so I'll have to paint the details back in.




I'll do some more work after I get back from my Flames of War gaming session.

Here are the first 5 Grey Hunters these will be part of my first Razorback pack.. All of my Grey Hunters will be wearing Mk 4 and Mk 6 armor.The second Hunter from the right still needs the toes of his boots GS'd; they are going to be the striped toes that were prevalent during the RT days. I should have the 6th Hunter wearing Mk 4 armor done tonight. Tomorrow I'll be adding the Night Runner badge to them as the mold should be fully cured now.



Here is an update on Skeld the Ven Dread. I decided to give the red DCCW a go and I really do like it. Red is the main contrasting color to my PA Wolves so the Dread need some too.



Skeld also is getting a new weapons option; the often underestimated twin linked Autocannon. This conversion is completely inspired by Grey Deaths Son of Medusa Dread.

Very nice work,can't wait to see this project done.

3D Great Company Badges are a Go! The push mold is dry and I'm in the process of putting the Night Runner badge on the Grey Hunters.



I still need to clean it up a bit, but overall I'm excited that it worked out so well!


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Here are the Grey Hunters with the icons in place! They are ready for priming as soon as I add some gear to the 3rd Mk 4 Hunter.



Here's a shot of the whole groups icons.

Here is the Grey Hunter with the fist, about half finished. The Grey has only the first highlight applied.




I'm really happy with how good the Night Runner badge looks painted!

Here is the finished Grey Hunter.






I've got the other five Hunters blocked out so should have them up by the end of the week.

I appreciate any feedback good or bad. I don't even mind if tell me you hate my work as long as you have something constructive to add.

Anywy here's a modelling update.

I just found about 15 second edition Sgt's with Power Fists in a box. I've decided I like the sleeker look of these to the current ones. So I'll be chopping them up for use on all of my Grey Hunter packs.

Here is the mock up of the next Hunter with a fist.



I'm slowly pluggin along on the rest of the first Pack of Hunters and have restarted the Ven Dread after a painting mishap.

Looking good - my wolves are not far from starting now! great inspiration

How did you weather the PA please? Just sponge/highlight?

Cheers

I use the sponge technique for the damage and a light wash of Vallejo tan earth on the feet and lower third of the leg armor.

Here is the long overdue update on the Ven Dread. If you go back and look at the test model I did for my new Space Wolves army you'll notice I was trying out striped highlighting. It looked pretty good on the marines, but looked awful on the Dread and I imagine would have looked equally bad on my tanks. I have abandoned this style as is apparent on the latest Grey Hunter.

So the Ven dread has recovered fro his stripey syndrome and is now on track to be finished in the next few days.



I have decided to vary the colors of the wolf pelts, including black, grey, brown and white throughout the army.

Let me officially introduce the Venerable Dreadnought Skeld Redmane to the denizens of Dakka! Painting is done and he's ready to smite the foes of the Imperium!

Have you go a tutorial on your coverted mk5 heads?

wow that Dread looks really cool!

I really love your army. I even love the old versions.

Consider your dread conversion stolen, and how do you make the mold for those shoulder pad badges? Thats something I have always wanted to do but never knew how.

Lookin' good!
Maybe the grey hunter's perfect white teeth look a bit odd but other than that.....Lookin' good!
