There we go...finally got the drops pods about 80% built ( I think it's 80%...) 3 completed drop pods and 2 built just gotta add the plates on the doors and build the harnesses..they are all fully magnetized, I have 2 magnets at the end of each door that I will paint up as rotating lights and give it some OSL in quarters around the lights as if they are rotating...very excited to get to painting these....and the rest of the troops

Well...since it is a nice day out today I'm going to get some priming done I think...I should have gotten up earlier though...more time to...prime ha

LOL Dont forget we want pics!!!!

Bro, I think your Ragnar is at least 20 times better than the official one. Love the rune priest, too. Good color choice.

it's funny...when you blow up the pic as big as it goes you see a pile of little hairs and flaws that you can't really see at all...unless you scrutinize...but thank you for the kind words...one bad thing...and this is the OCD talking...I can never use that pony haired head ever on any other model...but that leaves what...another 18? lol...suppose I could just paint it another color...but nah

Ahhh a fellow OCD sufferer. i get that too and i just want to keep messing with it untill it's perfect but then i end up ruining it.

All good champ we'll suffer together. i would like a few of your painting tips though!!!!

it's been off and on...I painted some yesterday and went to bed for a whole 3 hours...then got up..painted more...went back to sleep for another 5...I'll snap a pic of what I have done so far...only went over a leg...and an arm...even battle damaged them already, painted the gold drybrushed silver over it and then washed it in devlan mud

is the new devlan mud like the old stuff?

since people are so eager =p here ya go...wip of my first small grey hunter squad

Nice looking stuff, hope to see more of it.

Glad you guys are enjoying the blog so far..humble beginnings and all that, since I posted those pics I've redone the other leg and the chest ooooo ;p baby steps =)

Just a little update before I go to work...everything is done on that model except the battle damage on the left arm and leg annnnd back pack, the golds are done the bone is on the chest scroll (I need to look up glyphs to put on it) and yea that's about it oops...I gotta finish the guns and the squad shoulderpad

Hey Willy,

got some news from Zsadist about your Devlan mud. He said it's better than the old stuff and if you wanted to try some out you could go to your nearest GW and they will let you try some for free.

Hope this helps mate

Take care

slick, I'll have to go pick some up tomorrow...if it varies between them it might be good to use on the pelts....since I'm only washing the gold down with devlan mud I shouldn't run out too quick

well...was up all night cause I gotta take the car to the garage for 8:30am....so I finished my first grey hunter!...only 4 more to go in that squad

Very nice willy, I especially like the writing on the chest plate.

well done

Really like the yellow on the shoulder pads. What you have done really makes them pop.

Sorry with the pause between posts, just working on the squad of 5 still...almost have another one finished...and I have something special I'm working on that I haven't shown on here...but I'll post a pic when it is ready to be painted...you guys are going to love this

oh I got my battlefoam case on friday! the drop pod foam is REALLY tight...I have to cut the little ribbed things from the side of the fins on my drop pods to be able to fit them in relatively easy...going to have to varnish the pods or I will lose paint off of them

There we go...I just finished up the 3rd gray hunter...mostly...and here is a pic of what I have been working on over the weekend...hope you guys enjoy...I might toss a banner on the top just to finish off that he is an extra special dreanought...he's probably going to be my bjorn

I like it. He really fits the space wolf bill and is much more interesting looking than the same old Bjorn model. Nice job.

Finally finished the first squad...which is just a small objective holding squad

Love the Dread, love the chipping on the guys as well.

Hadn't noticed the chipping! I agree with Norn King, very well done, it looks real, which can be difficult to achive so well done (again)

Young Logan

thank you guys, I'm working on the drop pod now...what a huge pain to paint these things!

Still working on the drop pod...got the harness inside finished up...so I'm going to try and finish up the fins to attach the whole thing to the base...fun stuff...I'll take a pic once it's all together...then I gotta figure out how to weather it

procrastinating over this blasted drop pod...but I finished the name plated rune script...and here is a pic of a finished door/fin....it might be just me...but does it look very cell shaded?

I like it!

I see what you are saying about the cel shading, but I think it looks good.

Kudos to you...I gave up on my drop pod halfway through building the dang thing...

They look great! Im suprised not that many have commented on this, they look great! Kudos!

That's alright, I do like the comments and the criticisms...they make me a better painter =)

I personally love weathered and realistic minis...Sotheby only thingthat would make em better would be oils and powders. But that's just me

suppose that is too much work for something I'm going to use....if anyone sees any tutorials on how to weather drop pods though let me know....I tried and failed at it so I might not bother
