@EDC - I keep my characters pretty basic. Just Swiftstrike and Murder.

**Spacewolverine**

Realized it's been awhile since I updated my blog. I went 2-1 in the tournament I attended, had a lot of fun. Key points I took away were 650+ points in reserve is a bad idea. One game the Storm raven, centurions and dread did not arrive till the final turn. Will be making changes to my list. Have been working on Librarians lately.

First set of pictures are my finished bikers and the last is a very WIP of my Librarians.

**Gitsplitta**

Just love those bikers SW... beautiful.

**Knightley**

Ouch rough on the reserves, One trick that has helped me in the past is including an aegis defence line with the comm's array, it adds +1 to reserve rolls and really help bring in the reserves. Also the defence line is great for hiding tanks behind to get a cover save, I think its 50p base and 20p for the comm's array.

Food for thought?

**Spacewolverine**

@Gitsplitta - Thanks so much. Appreciate it, a lot of money and kitbashing went into them.

@Knightley - I wish I could but want to keep the Talon Strike Force, lack of points in the Army for one. It is a good idea though if I ever run a CAD + Detatchments.

Worked on my Librarians more this afternoon, I am falling more and more in love with them. They were free to make just kitbashed old bits. In the process of moving atm so my work space is a tray and working outside, at my in laws. However painting is something that relaxes me greatly, so I make do.

**Spacewolverine**

Head of my Librarian conclave is finished other than basing! Hope y'all enjoy. Excited will be finished moving Monday!

**Gitsplitta**

Beautiful figure. I like the "frosted tips" on the wings and the deep blue of the libby's armor.

**Spacewolverine**

@Gitsplitta - Thanks, I appreciate the deep blue on librarians more!

Finally finished moving in today. Finished up my Librarians and wanted to take a picture of them. Also wanted a picture of my HQs

**Spacewolverine**

Have still been in the process of moving, almost everything is situated now. On my off time have been bits bashing tactical marines from all my left overs and scouts from my scout bikers/storms bits. So far have saved about 110$. Hope y'all enjoy! I now will have 3 max strength tactical squads and 3 more squads of scouts. Converted some CCW/BP Camo cloaks!

I have been resisting the urge of the wolf howl to start Space Wolves again.... New models look great.

**Spacewolverine**

Finished up the Tactical Marines. Came out way above and beyond what I was hoping to achieve and wish I would of kitbashed all of them for a more dynamic look. Got carried away being in love with how the Plasma guns turned out and redid my sergeants weapon to combi plasma.

**Knightley**

Very cool

**Zambro**

Good stuff, mate

**evildrcheese**

Those jump pack librarians are looking sweet!

EDC

**RazgrizOne**

Librarians are awesome. Where are those weapons and heads coming from?
I might take some inspiration for my Deathwatch !

**Spacewolverine**

@Knightley - Thanks!

@Zambro - Thank you!

@EDC - Thanks, I need to get some lightbox pics of them. They are turning into my favorite models rather quickly.

@RazgrizOne - Thanks, weapons are from BA Sanguinary Guard, have to file some symbols off. The helmets are from the Ravenwing Command Squad.

**RazgrizOne**

Very nice combination then !

**Spacewolverine**

Finally bought a BoC box. I am in love.... Having fun converting, building my tacticals for my second demi-company. 10 WIP, 20 more to assemble. Finally ran out of FW back packs but that's okay, they look good with HH backpacks even without the Raven emblem.

**Spacewolverine**

Finished up my Tactical squad this morning. I love the Command frills!

**Gitsplitta**

Looking good. Black is just tough to do because it's so easy to lose the model details in all that blackness. Yours don't have that issue.

**Spacewolverine**

@Gitsplitta - Thanks, an old friend in Ohio taught me how to add depth to black when I first started to toy with the idea of doing Raven Guard.

Working on my last 20 Tacticals while I wait on an order from Forgeworld. Plan on doing 20 more Assault Marines and 5 Vanguard. Still need to assemble two Landspeeders and paint about 20 scouts. Pardon my work bench it's pretty cluttered at the moment. BoC box did not help. When these 20 are done and I finish redoing the devastator squad will have a almost full strength Pinion and Demi Company.

**Spacewolverine**

Have not done an update in awhile, finished my Tacticals and Devs. I wanted to do a group shot once they were finished. Redid the helmets on my two Captains with Forgeworld MK II. Love how they turned out, such an improvement.

Have been working on Vanguard lately, I am in the process of doing a Bladewing Assault Brotherhood. Finally got all the models for it.

Still not the best photographer, tried with natural lighting, did not work out as good as I hoped but none the less hope you enjoy.

**Spacewolverine**

Finished up my Vanguard this morning. Probably my favorite models I've done so far. Love how the squad leader looks very much like a emperor's champion with a jump pack. Hope y'all enjoy!

**Gitsplitta**

That army pic is just spectacular... wow, what a beautiful force!

**Zambro**

Wow, nice looking army!

Vanguard look good. The white really helps break up the black.

**Spacewolverine**

Both of you thanks, your blogs have been a source of my inspiration and ideas of how can I emulate to become a better modeler and painter myself.

Figured I'd post a tease of last night and todays work, was going to game today but wife was feeling under the weather so was watching baby and furry baby aka my dog. Got all the base coat, inked and based. Don't ask it's a old habit I always base after inking so I can highlight them and don't feel pressured to finish them fast and can take my time detailing.

Without further ado... The start of my Bladewing Assault Brotherhood. Thanks for looking as always.

**Spacewolverine**

Will post completed Assault Marines later today but this is what I've been working on the past day. Everyone needs a Command Squad, though I will probably never use them. Had the bits so made one. Hopefully finish them by tonight.
