Gonna ally in custodes vertus praetors (jet bike dudes) for some soup. If I was to go pure wolf I set them up as either WG on bikes, or as a wolf lord/battle leader on bike. The custodes rules look pretty tasty though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psilence Posted March 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 It’s been awhile, but I managed to pull myself away from a side army (space clowns) and put some paint on something Fenris’y. From experience vs Scary’s Great Co. I know they do well once they start rolling dice, so I’m excited to be close to having this guy on the table. Base coats and washes. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psilence Posted April 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2018 Done with paint. I’m happy with how he turned out, but bummed for the motivation to finish him up. I’ll be dedicating this one to Brand. Brand was a young space wolf fan in the UK who just recently lost a long term fight with cancer. His passing is recent, and for any interested in his story or helping his family through go fund me you can find: Brands Great Company on Facebook #howlforbrand The gaming community has petitioned GW to add him to the upcoming codex, and it’s rumored they have agreed. It would be pretty classy on their part if it came to pass. Silver lining. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psilence Posted April 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 Spent some time with the Wolves this weekend. I removed the bases from the models that needed cork added, and cleaned their feet with a razor for good bond to the finished product later. Using some bulk super glue from tammies I did the swirl pattern on the base for the cork to stick to. In this phase I leave the glue a little back from the edge so I can pull the outside edges apart and give a nice rough ‘shattered’ texture to make it look more like stone. Glued all the bases down and put the whole sheet of cork under some books to keep pressure for a few hours while the glue sets up. More to come. Have a good weekend. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psilence Posted April 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 After a few hours you can break the individual bases out of the sheet of cork. I spend a few minutes on each and ‘back break’ the edges of the cork. It yields a nice textured edge for dry brushing later. Once I’ve cleaned up all the bases I’m left with a goodly pile of cork. At this point you could get pretty creative in stacking up some extra bits to add some vertical features to the bases. Fortunately for me I’m extremely lazy... ;) Everything bags up for a trip to the garage for a few base coats of black. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 I always get way too carried away when I'm working with cork for basing. I think there are at least a couple of Models where I've spent more time getting that just right than I did on the model itself. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psilence Posted April 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2018 Finished the black in a couple of coats on the cork. Cleaned the over spray off the edges with the trusty xacto, and moved on to a goodly dry brushing of the perimeters. I went light on the edges and top, with a slightly heavier highlight at the upper edge. Easy peezy, and fits the winter’y/ tough outdoors’y guy theme. It’ll be nice to be caught up on all the current infantry for basing. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psilence Posted April 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2018 The contemptor, being a larger model, needs a little extra work so he doesn’t just rip his way off the base. I get a hard connection to the plastic base by cutting through the cork and cementing a piece of sprew to both the base and the models foot. That way if he falls off the table, not only will he peel off the base, but also shatter into 900 pieces... 😉 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Post kids though I’m ok with ‘ok’. Time has become one of more valuable commodities. 😜 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psilence Posted June 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2018 Had a chance to return to Fenris for a few hours and started some base colors on another pack + a ruin priest and razor. The head on the priest is third party. It fits the theme and adds some variety on a character. More to come. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 27, 2018 Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 I hate them fluff-wise, but Space Wolves really do have some cool models. Good job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psilence Posted July 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 Got some more progress pics of the new pack and priest. Final base colors, then off for a wash. Still trying to motivate myself for the Razorback. For whatever reason I have a hard time painting larger pieces. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psilence Posted July 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2018 Progress on the Rout. Nuln oil washes done, ready for dry brush and highlight layers. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psilence Posted July 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2018 Dry brushes and highlights done. going to try to push through and get the cork bases done as well. After that will be the Razorback. As a reward for getting the unit done I’m contemplating working on my knight, since everyone is all a Twitter over them lately 🙂 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psilence Posted July 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2018 Razorback complete. It’ll be interesting for me personally to use one on the table top. For whatever reason I tend to not use transports. I think it’s a hold over from a previous edition, but I can’t remember which, maybe 4th? Here come the bawkez. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psilence Posted July 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 I’ve begun work on the Razorback’s brothers. In wanting to stay efficient with new’ish kits I’m magnatizing everything so that each of the new hulls can swap to different builds as needed. Im using bits of sprew to span the gaps behind the plates, with plans to green stuff the magnets in place so the fields don’t overwhelm the super glue over time. Nothing new to this crowd I’m sure 🙂 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 22, 2018 Report Share Posted July 22, 2018 That's why the doors were sticking out of the painted razor, because you have the pred sponson slots behind them. Took me a bit. I like the raised door look. I think the detail looks better when the door sticking out and it would be easier to paint with the corners sticking out. I may steal this...
