Meanwhile, inspired by a discussion and pics, I have decided to go retro and make a deodorant based grav tank. Pics of the bare hull

I have to figure what I will do with the superstructure/turret/and other bits.

You should go all Batmobile and make this the front.

That will be a good reason for using the Zinge fans.

Here is some pics of the initial black wash

I then used a dry-brush of ghost white to start the lighter color of wolf pelts

and the Dogface as well

Like the deodorant bottle idea, (thanks Vik). Interested to see where you go with it.

Wolfies got a good start, the "blue/grey" white is a good choice.

Yeah, it should work well.

Wolfies are up! I added the other grays to the new guys, a stone gray for the Luporian/Antipode

Coming along there. Can't wait to see them finished, I like the way they had wild+regimented with the same army gear (well sort of) as the rest of the USARF guys.

Well, the harness shows he is with the same team, not a wild one. (Not sure how they manage that). But yes, if used for my army of IG, they are a half human/half wolf Genetor-Magos-Biologis project.

Now for the side effect, the abhumans who were born as humans, but when triggered, become the hulking wolf troopers,


Wolf-trooper with massive shotgun. his fur is ash and concrete gray toned

He reminds me of a Garou character out of the White Wolf RPGs.

That is what I have for now.

Yeah I like the dog soldier dude's colors. Reaper ash and concrete? Used to call that magic grey

Great work on the dog men Shaso. I like the fur tones.

What washes do you use?

Everything looks to be coming along nicely.

GrimDork wrote:Yeah I like the dog soldier dude's colors. Reaper ash and concrete? Used to call that magic grey

Well, the antipode got stone gray with a dry brush of weathered stone also by Reaper as I order their stuff now exclusively!

Theophony wrote:Great work on the dog men Shaso. I like the fur tones.

I use Reaper washes, I have used so far black wash, and I have a brown wash that will work with the antipodes' stone grays but it is looking good for now, maybe wash the tail and head area.

Thank you, it has been a bit of time since I went organics doing so many tanks and armored troops.

Haha!looking forwards to the grav tank!.

New update on the wolfies

of course I have to work on touch ups

the Dogface

Looking suitably mean!
You can never have enough wolves.

What camo will these dogs be sporting?

Buttery Commissar wrote:Looking suitably mean!

True, but they do cost a nice penny or ten! I do want to get the other Dogface/Antipode minis.

Theophony wrote:What camo will these dogs be sporting?

Ah yes, well, they are different, but as part of the Republic of Volg, Drak Green hard armor with a woodland camouflage similar to the Caskrainean woodland fighters.

Hi all, I tweaked the wolfies a bit. Asurman blue wash with another dry-brush of ghost grey. did some dry brush hair tweaking as well. still working the eyes.

More tweaks to come of course!

Looking great. Dark green armor sounds good as well.

With woodland block pattern camo pants! maybe the vest too except the hard armor plate parts, those will be darker green than the woodland camo cloth. Gonna see if I can get the other "dogface" units and forma combat group.


Speaking of the Dogface Theo, here he is! what a toothy grin he has! and much tweaking to do!

And now I have one of the squads made from leftover bits and other parts I ordered, the 144 is now on the left shoulder pauldrons, this is the flamer equipped squad. I need to give a wash close to the Sgt's eyes, right now he has "goggle tan" around the face, leaving his eye areas pale.

Now for the squad with the dual SMG wielder.

Der Hoff and his squad.

and finally, the Panzerjaeger command squad

Now that I've used Eisenkerns and Panzerjäger myself, I appreciate the models even more
They are awesome!
You posing and camo pattern is really great!
Well done Mate

Thanks Klaus! they are great miniatures.

Glad folks like the work done, when I ordered the legs from Hoard' o'Bitz they did not have the running/standing legs of regular squads, I had to work with Heavy weapon legs and such.

Now I also got to work on tweaking the wolfies, and adding the color to their gear

The base color of the pants and vest will get the camo

Oooh the wolves are something different. Nice colours there.

That wolf trooper with a shotgun is awesome! Those are well on their way to being some of my favorite things I've seen in your p&m blog.

Great work Shas, colours are really working well, all those packs etc. look great too. Are those on the original model or have you added them?

Good work, Shas. the washes really helped the fur.

Thank you all!

@Ckig: Yeah I wanted to woodland styles again, the wolves gave me that chance!

@Heretic Tom: Shotgun is scary as it alone is as tall as a dreamforge trooper! the wolfies are bigger, 55mm is a big bugger in most armies.

@Camkierhi: Thanks, I wanted similarity in patterns, but did not want two to be the exact same fur color. SZtaring at wolf images really helped! as for the packs and ammo pouches, he came sculpted like that.

@Dr.H: Yes they did, thank you for suggested such!

Wolves are looking good shaso. Since I've missed sho much, how about a recap of why the wolf troopers.
