Ashur Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 After some years painting warhammer, Ive decide to start a serious project again. And what could be more serious than space wolves? My plan is not only to paint the space marines, but to create a SW themed Imperial Guard to act as the chapter's thralls. For the SW, I can wait until they release the new ones. For the thralls, Ive already tried some ideas using IG and all the bearded heads I could found, vostroyans, kislevites, and even the teutogen guard from the Empire army. Any miniature feral and/or bearded enough to look like fenrisian tribesmen. Those are only prototypes since I'm still looking for fluff about the fenrisians and what kind of units would fit. Some of them are already painted. Not great work, but I'm still looking for a correct aspect. Any advice will be welcomed and thanked. I'm new in the forum and Ive never been good at painting. Thank you. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/154869-questions-by-ashur/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Mage Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 You might look at "WolfBlade" and the house belisarius IG there, though what you seem to be wanting sounds like it could be made from valhallans and the vostoyan first born.

Beef Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Vostroyan first born look to 'Russian' and being metal will prove expensive. Go with a box of chaos maruaders and cadian box set. mix in equal measure and learn to sculpt beards with GS Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/154869-questions-by-ashur/#findComment-1807365 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashur Posted January 24, 2009 Author Share Posted January 24, 2009 Question: the SW use land Speeders?? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/154869-questions-by-ashur/#findComment-1855941 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vash113 Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Question: the SW use land Speeders?? Yes... occasionally... For more info on Thralls see this thread that came up recently. Though be mindfull that since this forum is Power Armor only you can't really post pics or discuss armies that aren't PA related (except for daemons :P).

Wolf89 Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Question: the SW use land Speeders?? Yes... occasionally... Pah, the speeder is almost always in my armies Ashur, my lord knows the benefits of the vehicles and makes good use of his fast attack slots. :P Also Vash remember that Daemon Princes have power armour... as well does Bloodthirsters, even if it's not always called power armour, it's still 3+ :mellow: Don't be hating on my babe.

Vash113 Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Maybe yours but I rarely see Wolves take speeders... I rarely see speeders in general now that I think about it. As for Daemon Princes and Blood Thirsters, I don't think that really counts, it's not Power Armor per say, by that logic Striking Scorpions would make Eldar valid, but hey not a discussion for here or now.

Vash113 Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 I have serious problems with the forteress grey I use for my SM. The paint is too tick.Suggestions from specialists? Thin it with a little bit of water. Or if the paint is thickening in the pot you can try adding some paint thinner and mixing it in...

Ashur Posted January 30, 2009 Author Share Posted January 30, 2009 One last question before I start posting pictures: is there a SM body that fit the tzar Boris girth? I'm trying to replace him with my Wolf Lord, but he is pretty fat. more than the average warhammer body. Next thing I'll post will be pictures. I promise.
