The other armies on the docket are:
- Big Mek dread bash list (lots of killa cans, dreads, etc.)
- Nicely painted Death Korps of Krieg army
- Blood Angels for the Team tournament next year
- A fantasy army of some sort - either Empire, Brettonians or Chaos Warriors
I discovered and am loving the grey primer by Army Painter. This is going to be my saving grace when it comes to the fast Space Wolves army.
Sorry for the crappy pictures, I tore down my photo booth... will be back up in a bit. Ouch, and after look at them, a little out of focus. At least some pictures are better than none.
I've started by priming grey (which is more difficult then it sounds due to the fact it's only a shade darker then plastic), then painting on chainmail for the metal parts, and burnished gold for trim. Also any dark brown things I hit up first too. Followed by a generous coat of the badab black wash... presto! I have the first stage of the model done. Here's a shot of the model after it's initial wash.
After that I'm using the Reaper Masterclass Stone Grey triads to get a darker greenish grey look. My goal with this army is similar to my desert guard force... NO MIXING. That's right folks, I'm going to try and do everything straight out of the jar.
Here's a model with most of the painting done. I haven't finished the browns or touched up the face. I'm doing my basing last so I can dirty up the bottoms of the legs. After this, I'll put on a coat of snow.
I've also picked up some thunderwolves from Mr. Dandy at http://www.mrdandy.com/wargamma/ Great sculpts that went together relatively easily with little greenstuff needed. Here's the primed models ready to go.
Here's the list so far. Next up on the conversion docket is the fenresian wolves. Nobody seems to be taking them, but I'm going to try and make them work!
Cheers,
BC
Nice start to your Wolves Brian! I haven't seen anyone field either the thunderwolves enmasse or the fen-wolvews and will be curious to see how they come out. Congrats on the impending nuptials! Ya think Krone would have mentioned it when I asked about you last...
ReplyDeleteThanks Jeff! Yeah the wedding is coming up fast. I've been seeing a bunch of thunderwolves pop up around the area since they're so good in combat but no fenris wolves. I'm hoping they don't disappoint me too badly. What are you working on these days?
ReplyDeleteI've been messing around with a lot of FOW stuff and looking for a new job. Between that and my two kids my plate is pretty full, but I'm thinking of starting a Raptors army using the new BA codex, can't wait to see that new stormraven model!
