Jeez! That is gruesome!!

@Metsuri: Thanks for the input! I'll try doing one of the Landship crewmembers later today to see how the scheme works on them.

@Vitruvian XVII: Indeed.



Impaled finished:


I probably will finish another thing later today so stay tuned!

As promised, here's another finished one:
















...about bloody time, eh?

I hope you like it! C&C welcome as always!

I think I'm going to start color coding fan love and critiques from now on so I don't have to feel guilty or inconsistent.

I love the chimera, it's absolutely sharp and elegantly done.

The hand on the left wing looks glued on. I think it's just some scarring you've put on, but it doesn't look right.

Still absolutely amazing.

HOLY GAK Sig, thatsastounding!! Sheer brilliance. Was the red blending on the tail airbrushed?

Chimera is awesome looking!

Crazy, Id avoid blue, its hard to read with dakka's classic background.

@Whalemusic: Good to know, fixed it.

Siggy's done it again. That chimera still blows my mind. The base turned out really well and does a nice job of not distracting from the gorgeous model. The impaled looked good too. They would make for fun counters for a Dark Eldar army.

@crazypsyko666: Thanks for the input! Well observed. I'll fix that.

@VitruvianXVII: Thanks! And I'm proud to say that the red on the tail wasn't airbrushed.

@whalemusic360: Cheers!

@Moltar: Thanks for the comment! I think that with a base that small (compared to the size of the model), it's kind of hard to make the base distract from the model. Thanks anyway. I prefer to keep bases somewhat subdued and simple. Not sure the impaled would work that well witha Dark Eldar army, them being 10mm scale and all that.


Now, we're back to Space Wolves for a bit. WIP Wolf Guard:

Damn... I really like that Chimera... I can't really say too much else, aside from the fact that I like staring at it. A lot. It looks real.


And just wondering, where'd the impaled guys come from? And do they have anything to do w/ Vlad or vampires?

-Remi

That chimera is probably one of the best models I have ever seen.

Chimera = Perfect.

Even tiny deviations in color choice could have spoiled it a bit, but you chose perfectly, looks very lifelike!

Wow, hand blending is phenomenal! I dont know how you do it bud

Thanks for the overwhelmingly positive comments. My painting motivation was a bit damaged in recent weeks and this kind of feedback really helps me get back on track.

@HF Izanagi: They are 10mm scale miniatures from Kallistra's Hoards&Heroes range (just like the Birdmen I posted earlier). Judging from the name "East Europe Medieval Impaled" (or something like that) and the miniatures themselves I'm pretty darned sure that they are unfortunate Ottoman Empire troops who tried to invade Romania, yes. Very good miniature but a tad too gory for my likings really.

@MajorTom11: Cheers. I was really, really cautious with painting this miniature, especially with colours as you pointed out. That's why it took me so long until I finally finished the thing.

And another update on the Wolf Guard:

Just glad to be of help! Seriously though, I've never seen you make a single bad model. Some could have a few improvements here and there, but everything you've posted in this log has been fantastic. Keep up the good work.

@crazypsyko666: Thanks! It's always nice to get feedback.

Wolf Guard:


More or less finished really. All I need is to add some snow but that will be done for the whole army all at once in the end.

I love the gritty nature of them, precfect for the background of SW

Also, i like the hazard stripes on the PF, big fan of hazards on minis

WHAT are those impaled dudes? they look really creepy.
i prefer the second empire soldier, the faded colours look better for coast guard, salt spray is realy gould at sapping the colour from cloth.
also, i dig your empire names.

@Vitrivian XVII: Thanks! I also like them hazard stripes a lot. More work but looks mighty fine.

@MightyWarhamster: Besten Dank! The Impaled are "eastern european impaleds" sold by Kallistra miniatures. It's fairly obvious that those are meant to be Ottoman invaders who tried to get into Romania. The guy I painted them for will use them for Warmaster terrain/counters. Thanks for supporting the second Empire guy. Good thinking on the salt water remark. Being a mountain person, I haven't thought of that yet.


Here's a picture of what's up next:


3 Squads of 6 Long Fangs each
1 Squad of 10 Wolf Scouts
3 Grey Hunters with Meltaguns
3 Grey Hunters with Wolf Banners

After that:
Land Raider
2 Vindicators
2 Rhinos/Razorbacks
1 Land Speeder
13 Wolf Guard Terminators

...and some more odds and ends.

Didly dam, if they are all to the same standard as the other ones you have done then thats should be one amazing army

Where did you get those combi-meltas? I've never seen them before.

@bigfish: Thanks! I'm starting to like this army actually (which always is a good sign).

@crazypsyko: I didn't build the models myself (which makes painting them a little harder but anyway) but I did build a lot of Combi-Meltas last year when I did my first Space Wolves army commission. It's a fairly easy conversion. I'll do a little how-to within the next few weeks if you want.

Litte update!








I'll do two squads of Long Fangs first, then the Scouts. If I'm not totally sick of SW infantry after that, I will go on doing some Grey Hunters with Meltas and Wolf banners. I want to have the infantry out of the way, than tackle the vehicles, then go back to the rest of the infantry (terminators, characters), then the rest of the vehicles.

A tutorial of how you did those combi-meltas would be fantastic! They look really awesome. Beautiful work on the wolves by the way, exceptional work!

I'm looking forwards to the banners, Sigur - I've assembled one, but haven't a clue how to paint it.

The Chimera looks really good, too - good work.

@jirc: Many thanks!

@Dysartes: Cheers! I was surprised those were used to be honest. We had talked about wolf banners so naturally I assumed the ones that come with the box, not these army standard sized ones....gah, anyway.



Update:

Fantastic as always! The Chimera is just stunning, and the Wolves are coming along very well indeed.

@Cosmic: Thanks very much.



Long Fangs 1:


Long Fangs 2:



Next: 10 Wolf Scouts.

In the meantime, there's a little update on the Wolf Scouts:

Wolf Scouts finished:

They look great Sig!

Are they transfers on the shoulders?

Love the hazard stripes on the MLs! Will have to steal that

@Vitruvian XVII: Thanks again for commenting. Yup, that's transfers.

Here's a fist WIP of what's to come next:



Five more Long Fangs with Missile Launchers and three Grey Hunters with Meltaguns.



And here's something else in case you're getting bored with Space Wolves:


Another bit for the Averland Empire army!

Please stop making me shell out for Warhammer Forge...please! lol They look so crisp, far better than the regular GW state troops imo, especially cause they have proper puffy sleeves.

Its hard to stop commenting when you keep churning out the awesome

Im guessing you use Micro Sol and Set? If not, how do you apply them?
