Hello everyone
You will find here, the deliriums of an old puppy fan of warhammer since I was... 12 years old (oh the cow that dates back ^^")

My 1st tries were on metal chaos space marines against a flood of tyrannids (which I still have :3)

But let's take it more seriously
I'm much better with my fingers for building than for painting ^^"
So in the next posts, you will see the evolution of my bastion for my space wolf

The basic idea was, a hexagonal bastion, caught in the paws of an enormous wolf sculpted in the style of the sphinx, its head capping the bastion and serving as a lookout.
But after 1 year of construction, trial and error, I remained at an impasse.

So you will see here, the evolution of the construction of this bastion, but version 2
As well as tutorials :3
But don't expect miracles either XD

There you go, stay tuned
oh ! and sorry for my frenchglish_goggletrad XD

Bonjour à toutes et à tous
Vous trouverez ici, les délires d'un vieux puppy fan de warhammer depuis mes ... 12ans (oh la vache ça date ^^")

Mes 1ers essais étaient sur des space marine du chaos en métal contre un flot de tyrannides (que j'ai toujours :3)

Mais reprenons plus sérieusement
Je suis beaucoup plus doué de mes doigts pour la construction que pour la peinture ^^"
Donc dans les prochains posts, vous verrez l'évolution de mon bastion pour mes space wolf

L'idée de base était, un bastion hexagonal, pris dans les papattes d'un énorme loup sculpté dans le style du sphinx, sa tête coiffant le bastion et servant de guet.
Mais après 1an de construction, de tatonnements, je restais dans une impasse.

Donc vous verrez ici, l'évolution de la construction de ce bastion , mais version 2
Ainsi que des tutos :3
Mais ne vous attendez pas à des miracles non plus XD

Voilà , restez connecté

Your terrain stuff looks like it's off to an interesting start...
Loving the little tutorial you did in the gallery

I hope it will help someone :3
(i put it here with formatted explanations)





Here is my tutorial to create metal plates easily

on a 1mm plastic sheet,
I cut 35mm x 35mm squares,
(quite adapted to the size of the warhammer characters I think, especially if you want them to have built their bastion themselves in their history)

on a block of wood I block a square with drawing pins to leave only one side at the edge of the block
and to be able to form it with a scalpel
I do the same for all sides of the square, being careful that it is not perfect
(in my story, my characters will have forged themselves it's plates so ^^")

to form the fixing rivets, I use a punch and a hammer with a "soft" block of wood as a support

then to build a building adapted to the characters,
I use a square of 105mm x 105mm in which I form openings (windows, doors, shed...)

but that will be the next pics

Voici mon tutos pour créer des plaques métalliques facilement

sur une feuille de plastique de 1mm,
je découpe des carrés de 35mm x 35mm,
(assez adaptés à la taille des perso warhammer je trouve, surtout si on veut que dans leur histoire, ils aient construit eux même leur bastion)

sur un bloc de bois je bloque un carré avec des punaises pour ne laisser qu'un coté au bord du bloc
et pouvoir le former au scalpel
je fais pareil pour tous les cotés du carré en faisant attention que ce ne soit pas parfait
(dans mon histoire, mes perso auront forgés eux mêmes c'est plaques donc ^^" )

pour former les rivets de fixation, j'utilise un pointeau et un marteau avec un bloc de bois "mou" comme support

ensuite pour construire un batiment adapté aux perso,
j'utilise un carré de 105mm x 105mm dans lequel je forme des ouvertures (fenêtres, portes, hangar...)

mais ce sera les prochaines photos

For version 2 of my bastion, I stayed on a wolf but
it will be a large stone sculpture (statue of an ancient forgotten wolf deity ?)
and between its paws, will position the famous hexagonal bastion
the front paws will serve as an entrance
the flanks at the paws will be the sides of the bastion
I leave the back open for ease of play

so for today I present to you, the sculpture of the wolf
finally more particularly the final life-size test

so I started with this (free) file of Link's wolf from Zelda:

https://ninjatoes.wordpress.com/2007/02/02/the-legend-of-zelda-wolf-link/

The size of the wolf in this version is quite small compared to a warhammer character
(in black/grey on the 1st photo, behind the large white paw)

so i redid the build files in 200% format for the body
and 250% for the head which seems very small without its dreadlocks ^^"

the test is done on normal 100gr paper
the length is nearly 50cm including the tail
the width of more than 22cm
for the height, it will be according to the positioning of the head (WIP therefore not yet measured)

There you go, stay tuned

Pour la version 2 de mon bastion, je suis resté sur un loup mais
ce sera une grande sculpture de pierre (statue d'une ancinne divinité loup oubliée ? )
et entre ses papattes, se positionnera le fameux bastion hexagonal
les papattes de devant serviront d'entrée
les flancs aux niveaux des papattes seront les côtés du bastion
je laisse ouvert l'arrière pour facilité le jeu

donc pour aujourd'hui je vous présente , la sculpture du loup
enfin plus particulièrement le test final grandeur nature

alors je suis parti de ce fichier (gratuit) du loup de Link de Zelda :

https://ninjatoes.wordpress.com/2007/02/02/the-legend-of-zelda-wolf-link/

La taille du loup dans cette version est assez pitite par rapport à un perso warhammer
(en noir/gris sur la 1ère photo, derrière la grande papatte blanche)

donc j'ai refait les fichiers de construction en format 200% pour le corps
et 250% pour la tête qui parait très pitite sans ses dreadlocks ^^"

le test est fait sur du papier 100gr normal
la longueur est de près de 50cm queue comprise
la largeur de plus de 22cm
pour la hauteur, ce sera en fonction du positionnement de la tête (WIP donc pas encore mesurée)

Here's the side of version 2 of my bastion :3
all in riveted metal plates
with broken vehicles on the ground
sharp tips
and of course, very good shooters on the walkway

Entry in progress

There you go, stay tuned

Voici le côté de la version 2 de mon bastion :3

pointes acérées
et bien sûr , de très bons tireurs sur le chemin de ronde

Wow! The paper craft Wolf is spectacular! I guess it’s quite fragile, do you plan to strengthen it somehow?
The spiky Bastion is looking cool already too, it’ll be a spectacular centre piece when it’s done

Thank you :3

my paper wolf bastion is just a test , to see , how it's work , not to play

if the result is ok for me , i will build it , in 0.5/1mm plastic card

You can see here an almost final result (in paper) :

Here my wolf with 0.5mm plastic cards, in progress

Stay tuned

Very cool
How are you going to deal with filling the gaps?

for imperfections and small holes, I thought to use the resin "green stuff", but it will be for the finishes

I just finished building my bastion with the plastic sheets, the photos will come later

pour les imperfections et les pitits trous, je pensais utiliser la résine "green stuff", mais ce sera pour les finitions

je viens de finir de bâtir mon bastion avec le plastique, les photos viendront plus tard

Cool wolf! I also like the panels and rivets on the bastion.

while waiting for me to make beautiful photos of the bastion,
I show you my research for my future cosplay,
which starts with the helmet
(space wolf version K9 puppy for those who would not have guessed )

en attendant que je fasse de belles photos du bastion,
je vous montre mes recherches pour mon futur cosplay,
qui commencent par le casque
(space wolf version K9 puppy pour ceux qui n'auraient pas deviné )

here you can see the evolution of my helmet ^w^

Hello
It's been a long time since I wrote here

You can see below, my first paint tests, which allow me to see the shape and finishes to do.
I work slowly but surely

Original text :

Bonjour
ça fait longtemps

vous pouvez voir ci dessous , mes premiers tests de peinture , qui me permettent de voir la forme et les finitions à faire.
J'avance doucement mais sûrement

Welcome back! The helmet looks really cool with some paint on. The front profile with the ears laid back is really great

Hi everyone :3

It's been a long time , sorry ^^"

I'm coming back to you with the evolution of my Wolf Bastion.
The head is secured via an internal scaffold.
I'm in the process of completing the nape of the neck and neck.

Stay tuned

Original text :

Bonjour tout le monde :3

ça faisait longtemps , désolé ^^"

Je reviens vers vous avec l'évolution de mon loup bastion.
La tête est fixée via un échafaudage interne.
Je suis entrain de compléter la nuque et le cou.

That is properly cool! Great to see that you’ve kept going with the wolf. Cool pixelated house decorations too

Very nice, the wolf makes me think of the Trojan Horse legend.
