I have kind off been painting this weekend, here are some things:

Ignore my previous colour schemes, I'm doing a cool red/black.

A bit blurry, it looks awesome IRL.

I went to my FLGS this saturday, and picked up this beauty. I love him. Do I add wings? Are wings good?

Also, Raptors. Yay?

**Matthew**

Sorry, just had to upload this. The Raptors look awesome, I love them. Should I do this with all Raptors?

Oops, double pics sorry

**CREEEEEEEEED**

Depends if you want wings, and if that's your work on those raptors, do it on most of them, if you do it on all it makes it less cool.

I like how you think...

**Matthew**

First of all, go to YouTube. Search 'Ride of the valkyries'. Skip to the cool part. Then read this.

5 pics, right? Spoilered down below, if you want more I've put them all in my P&M Blog, check the link in my signature for it.

Spoiler:

The Angels of Iron. A thousand years ago, during one of the many crusades of Chaos, the Emperor punished the chapter for letting some of their battle-brothers fall to Chaos. Almost every single Marine was executed, spare for a hundred Assault Marines, who fled to a distant planet, where they entered an induced coma. When Chaos reached that planet, the Warp started whispering to them. The Emperor had killed their brothers. The Emperor had betrayed them. The Emperor is their enemy.
Sometimes, one can see Angels of Iron assist Daemon Prince Garaghak in his crusade. They appear out of nowhere, and shout their hatred against the Emperor out from their speakers. If Space Marines are the Angels of Death, these are the Daemons of Death.

Story time over! That's my entry for this month. This is a huge step for me, because this is the first time I try OSL. Look at the Plasma Pisto, and the Jump Packs. Eh?

Plus

You see that OSL?

Dat ass.

**CREEEEEEEEED**

Very nice OSL.

**Matthew**

If you guys haven't noticed, the 'Vote for the winner' thread is up for May's painting comeptition! Take your time, look at the contestants, and consider voting for me!

**Matthew**

I've been thinking a little about my colour scheme, and I think thag I want to do all armour with the Raptors rusty iron. Any other ideas?

And also, what colour comes to your mind when I say 'Viking'?

**FearPeteySodes**

I always think of blues and earth tones for vikings but that may be the Swede in me! I think the viking look is more in the gear itself than set colors.

OR...

If you want to make people vomit go with the old purple and gold...

**Matthew**

Why did I want to know a colour associated with Vikings? I am totally not doing a Viking themed Bezerker force. Hahaha.
Today, I stripped a few models of paint, including a few Marines, a Rhino and a Helbrute. I'll be repainting them in my new colour scheme, stay tuned!

The primer's left a wonky black residue, but I think it looks really cool.

The Daemon Prince looks ugly, I know. Ugh.

**Matthew**

A quick update on the Rhino: I'm going full conversion on it.
I've made a cage type roof, and... not so much more. Meh.

**CREEEEEEEEED**

Yeah, the daemon might need another go, but the cage is cool.

**Matthew**

The plan is to do several highlights of Khorne Red, Abaddon Black and Evil Sunz Scarlet. I'm going for a slightly darker Daemon scheme than the GW one.

**Matthew**

Here's an update! The Rhino's looking fabulous, I've basecoated it Leadbelcher, drybrushed some Ryza Rust, applied a Bloodletter Glaze, a Leadbelcher drybrush and a light drybrush with Runefang Steel.

I'm thinking about making all the panels that are lower than the main hull in Khorne Red, and then drybrushing that with Leadbelcher. Any other ideas?

looking good man

**CREEEEEEEEED**

No, keep it as it is, it looks awesome.

**Matthew**

... Sorry dude, I actually did drybrush some Evil Sunz Scarlet in some places. But trust me, it looks good. It just looks like a more red version of the rust. And it doesn't coveer up the rust effect.

Also some somewhat good news: I will be going on VACation.(Anyone gets that joke? Eh? Eh?) This friday, I'll be sailing in the Swedish Skärgård (literal translation: Cutting Garden) with my Scout Group, I'll be home by the next Wednesday. And the 11th of July I'll be going on a roadtrip through Europe, I'll be away for 3-5 weeks, so I might not be able to participate in the July and August painting contests. If Dakka had an option to schedule updates like YouTube, I'd be able to give you guys updates once or twice a week. Well, I guess you'll just have to live without seeing crappy pictures of crappily painted plastic men a few times a week!

**Matthew**

Everyone, I'm going on vacation for 6 days now. I will be back though!

**Matthew**

KHORNE DAEMONKIN

I am back from the vacation, yay! I need to get started on my DP, I'm going to go to my country place soon, I'm not sure how much I will be able to paint. Also, I will be away for most of July and August.

Anyways, here are a few pictures:

Le Rhino. I've tried to mute down the red a bit, does it look good? Also, you might not see it, but I've started painting on some gold details, on the windows, some spikes, etc.

Here's the side, with a dead Cadian's coat on it. Nice.

Spoiler:

Here's my DP. I know the highlights look a bit birght, is there a way to dull it down? Thanks.

**Ezra Tyrius**

Rhino's looking good! As for the DP, maybe you could try giving it a couple of washes with Nuln Oil?

**CREEEEEEEEED**

Good stuff all round.

**Matthew**

Not an update, just we writing a wall of text. I've already written this once, and it deleted itself so here we go again:

I want to do Space Wolves. Just a small 500-1000 points force for fun and converting. I want them to be gray, just google 'grey apace wolves' and you'll see. Does anyone know what paints I will need for those schemes? Preferably GW paints.
I want to do conversions. After googling around a bit, I found a perfect solution: WHFB Dwarfs. There's this one kit with big axes, hammes, shields and viking heads, that would be perfect for a viking-esque Puppy army.
I am going to buy say 20 Tactical Wolves, 5 Fenrisian Wolves, and one or two Dwarf kits. This will give me enough for my first 500 points. And, I'll be able to convert squats! Yay

So, my army list right now is:

+++ New Roster (506pts) +++

++ Space Wolves: Codex (2014) (Combined Arms Detachment) (506pts) ++

+ No Force Org Slot

Lone Wolf (56pts) [2x Fenrisian Wolf
····Power Armour [Bolt Pistol, Frag & Krak Grenades, Frost Axe

Lone Wolf (33pts) [Fenrisian Wolf
····Power Armour [Chainsword, Frag & Krak Grenades, Storm Bolter

+ HQ

Wolf Guard Battle Leader ) [Fenrisian Wolf, Melta Bombs, Warlord]
····Power Armour [Bolt Pistol, Frag & Krak Grenades, Frost Axe

+ Troops

Grey Hunters
····7x Grey Hunters, 6 Bolters, 1 plasma gun, 1 Battle Leader with Power Fist

That unit times 2

So, good list? I might just start a new P&M for Puppies...

**Matthew**

Herr's how I want the vehicles to look. The armour should be in the darker grey.

**CREEEEEEEEED**

Do them in this P&M, you already do a host of other stuff. (Including those empire dudes who you haven't updated in an age of sigmar or two)

**Matthew**

Oh, and the Trukk, and the pistol, and the Orks. The list goes on.

**CREEEEEEEEED**

So, err the squiggoth getting done within the next millennia, or should i lower my expectations?

**Matthew**

I do have a valid excuse for that: I'll be away on vacation for 3-5 weeks now, and THEn I can do the squiggoth. I'm thinking about redoing it completely, I think the cataphract look I wanted looks ugly.
Furthermore, Space Wolves. Grey, with red arms and legs.

Like that. The shoulder pads are for a Blood Claw, I'll obviously paint them according to which unit they belong to.

TL;DR, Vacation, I'm lazy, sorry.
