(Lots of pics; WARNING - some fairly bloody minis) ).

First up is my Commissar. I love Commissars in the fluff, they're so badass, so I knew I had to get one for my little Guard army:



Aaaaand for good measure :


Next is my Doom of Malan'tai. Yes it is just a regular Zoanthrope with an extra-gory base, but all my other Zoanthropes are actually 3rd ed ones, so he actually looks much bigger and different in comparison. (btw, I'm probably going to get rid of the gloss at some point)





The idea with the dead Guardsman is that the poor sucker got hit with the Doom's Cataclysm and then this happened:


Here's some close-ups of the base:



A new squad of Grey Hunters with some added GK bits for flavour:



For reference, here's Njal (and some other characters I'm in the process of repainting) a year ago:


And here he is now:





And finally, a Runic Armour version of my Wolf Lord, Andilus Greatsword. I don't really care much for the Wolf Helmet head, but none of the non-helmeted heads in the box would have done him justice so I went with it. Also, I love how the Purifier sword turned out:






I also have been repainting Logan Grimnar, so he'll be coming soon as well... stay tuned. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/488104/4964525.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/488104/4964525.page GMT Space Wolves, Imperial Guard and Tyranids, oh my!

lol, I haven't painted anything in 2 months. Ack, I need to get off my lazy chair and quit converting my leftover bitz. So I can paint.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/488104/4964529.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/488104/4964529.page GMT Space Wolves, Imperial Guard and Tyranids, oh my!

Also your minis look very shiny, were they dipped?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/488104/4964553.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/488104/4964553.page GMT Space Wolves, Imperial Guard and Tyranids, oh my!

No, I spray them with a gloss sealer and then dullcote over that (the Tyranids are just glossed for now though). Could be the lighting exacerbating things too.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/488104/4964637.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/488104/4964637.page GMT Space Wolves, Imperial Guard and Tyranids, oh my! (Lots of pics; WARNING - some fairly bloody minis) th gloss works for the tyranids, but not so much on the marines.

Other than that I rather like your gory miniatures! ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/488104/4965645.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/488104/4965645.page GMT Re:Space Wolves, Imperial Guard and Tyranids, oh my!

I finished Logan Grimnar with over an hour left in the movie so I figured I'd touch up Ulrik the Slayer with the rest of the run time. I got him on ebay with a pretty good paintjob already, but I finally decided I could clean it up a little bit (mostly just fleshing out details, painting his backpack properly and making the metallics more pronounced):




And that's it for now. Lukas the Trickster and Ragnar Blackmane are eyeing me from my painting station though, so they'll be along before the end of the weekend I'm sure...

They look really weird all shiny. Considering these are mostly all plastic models they wouldn't chip or anything. Why do it? The models are really well painted, but imho, the varnish sort of spoils it.

I think it's mostly the lighting, in person you can't see the shine so badly. Maybe I should move the lamp back a bit haha.

Thank you good sir! Maybe next time I'll upload a pic of my Swarmlord's base; there's a poor Guardsmen who got bone sabre'd and is clutching what's left of his lower half...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/488104/4965704.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/488104/4965704.page GMT Re:Space Wolves, Imperial Guard and Tyranids, oh my!
