Hello all,

So, I've decided to start a new blog for a new project. (My previous army of Celebrants Chapter Space Marines isn't quite finished, as I still have a few squads to complete. They are all WIP, but to be honest I needed a break from painting yellow/orange/red!)

So, for the Knives in the Shadows Kill Team Challenge this year I decided to go back to one of my DIY Chapters, the Marines Adamant. I tried a new technique of oil pin washing, and I was happy with the results:

Now, while I was working on the above Team, the new Space Wolves stuff was being previewed and then released. This has inspired me to do a few more bits to build into a small Marines Adamant force.

As well as being IH Successors, with all the bionic goodness that entails, the Marines Adamant are also based on and recruit from a Feral World, resulting in a quite savage and superstitious attitude, meaning that the SW bits like charms/teeth/pelts would all be appropriate to feature on my minis (and hence the blog name!)

Also as IH Successors, much of the Chapter's structure is based on the characterful and awesome divergences from the Codex described in the old Iron Hands Index Astartes article (IMHO, these divergences were always well represented by the Wolves rules):

Independent Households akin to the Great Company structure.
Veteran squad leaders in TDA (unfortunately, no longer possible rules-wise)
A focus on reliable, adaptable infantry units on foot (like GH)

Obviously, any of the really wolfy units are out, although I did think about using a box of Ruststalkers to build some sort of skirmish servitors to count-as Fenrisian Wolves?

Anyway, I've started by building a second squad and a character to lead them. WIP pics of these will be incoming soon!
