Around 1500 points. But thanks, I am hopeing to paint some more soon, but im having problems with my primer.

Ok, sorry for the delay of pic and progress, but here is my latest WIP on some of my minis. Also included are the SW im starting.

That Mawloc is sweet looking. I like the dark paint scheme

The Trygon is very good! Very organic! I would love to see a distance shot of it! Those Route 66 Jean Stealers look very good also.

Actually thier favorite are wranglers, but thats only when they feel good! LOL

The nids are looking good man! the SW are great too! same that AP melted your long fangs I thought it was made for plastic moldes? ironic or what?

I know, Im bumbed about that to. Thanks, Im glad you like the trygon. I cant wait to finish it.

That conversion for the assault on black reach sergent almost make me not seeing him at all.

See, subbed

I love your Nids, they look great, and the bases are just amazing, very cool indeed. How do you do that?

Its a complete about the primer on your long fangs, i saw your other post. I got some Army Painter Primer for Christmas, although luckily they have not melted the models. Although it is a little thicker than GW spray. So it’s something to get used to.

When you primed them was it straight over the plastic or was it over some already laid down paint, because in your pictures there were some other colours other than just the white primer?

That is what I was hoping for, I thought when I bought them they were all SW, but some were not. Thanks!

The bases are very easy. For the gaunts, it is just elmers glue,or PVA glue, applied to a base. let it dry for 5 min, then applie drops of super glue/crazy glue to the pva glue, and vuala! A really cool chemical reaction! As for the warrior, same thing, but went over pieces of wine bottel cork.

Only one was primered with a Dragon red Army Painter Primer first, the rest were bare plastic. and the blue is the color of the plastic. Only one was a normal SW.

Good looking Nids, my best friend plays Nids and his don't look this good. Subbed because I can't wait to see the Space wolves.

Do you have a coukor scehem done for the SW? still do look good any!

Yeah, Haz types faster than his brain can spell sometimes... LOL

I really like Space Wolves as far as the minis go. But some of those pictures in the codex make them look really stupid imo.

i have taken to writing my posts in word for.the spell.check. apart from.when.i am.on the go and use.my.phone.

which has a habit of putting "." every where.

Lookin forward to take 2 on the SW.

Dont take it to heart, I happens to the best of us!

Ok, so here are some pictures of the carapce on the trygon, and some free hand I tryed on the Space wolf.

Hope you like!

trygon looks good man! the freehand is suprub! I've only done it once ad that was just a basic ultra sign! Looks good! do you have any tips or adbvise for painting freehand?

Thanks, As for the free handing, Im not sure what advice I could give. I just looked in the codex and found a design I liked, and then took black paint, thined it down, and traced the design on the armor. then just filled it in. I have just been eyeballing it. Im not sure how to put it.

Still looks good!

Thanks, I like it.

Easy but effective!

I like it, too, but are all the metal SW mini's that plain looking on the legs?

Saw you post on HAZZER's blog and decided to check it out. Your 'Nids are perfect!! Really enjoy the gross bio-stuff on your bases, makes it look like they are freshly spawned and hungry to consume everything in their path. Subbed and will be back for more.

Yup!

Actualy, these are OOP models. They are from a starter kit somewhere. They are not metal but a blue plastic. and the detail on the legs stink!

I agree. Thanks for subbing. I will hopfully get some more pics up soon.

Your free hand looks great. If you keep it up through out the army I think you could develop some real skills. Don’t worry about the quick and frenzied dry brush technique, if you want to get an army on the table asap then that is the way to go. Just make sure to follow it up with some ink washes to blend it in better. I should also say, it wasn’t just the free hand that caught my eye. I love some of the poses that you have pulled off with your space wolves. Keep up the pace and inspiration, and you have a hell of a thread.
