where are thoes teeth from?

 

 

I think it's from an Orc and Goblins chariot from WHFB... Almost certain it's from the Orc range anyway... The amount of things I find tucked away in my Bitz Box is untrue.

A'ight guys. As usual from me it's be a long time with no updates but I haven't been entirely idle.

Here's the finished conversion of my land speeder, should get some paint on it soon.

The gunner and driver are done (stock models) but I'm leaving them out for painting.

 

And the progress on my Wolf Lord... a bigger, badder, more expensive version of the old one.

I have a shield that I'm working on too, but I haven't included it because the g/s was still drying on both shield and arm.

Where did you find the wolf head backpack? The only I could ever find like that was definitely a knock off. Though not a bad one, two of my DIY's use wolf/dog imagery, so if I can find more of those back packs that'd be awesome.

Awesome stuff Stinkenheim! Great work.

It can be found on the Space Wolves Accessories Frame in the bitz part on GW:s site.

jeez... didn't realise quite how long it'd been since the last post.

Well, I've done a fair bit on my lord, just need to resculpt the head on the wolf pelt and he's ready for paint. Here are the latest shots.

Also caved and purchased some thunderwolf cavalry. I will say that I was somewhat disappointed by the models, but that was mostly because there are only 3 poses available. Thankfully it's not an issue for me as I don't plan on running more than 4 at anyone time. Seeing as they are Wolf Guard (and a Wolf Guard Battle Leader) there was some sculpting needed to ensure that they tied in with the aesthetics of any other power armoured Wolf Guard in my army. Namely the reinforced armour at the base of the legs and they will all be sporting wolf cloaks.

Not exactly original, but I also went with the chain lance/glaive type weapon as I figure they will need additional reach seeing as they are mounted. The WGBL will likely get a new shaft for his axe too, just looks too stubby for my liking. Might also resculpt the neck of the wolf so that it is looking the same way.

Lastly, got bored and made a tank commander model. No apparent reason other than I had the bits and I found an old crusader which with a bit of love may get painted up sometime in the next decade and thought he'd make a decent addition to it.

Anyways, comments and critiques are always welcome. I am also aiming to paint the land speeder in the earlier post and the lord for the ETL vow so hopefully you may get another update soon...

Thanks guys.

@Skeletro, I trimmed it off completely. I looked at keeping it there for support but it would have made it thicker than I would like.

The leather flaps under the arms were shaved back with a sharp knife as far as I could take them.

 

Update on the speeder. I've actually painted more of it since these were taken and should get it finished tomorrow... I hope.

Critique away guys.

Ok the speeder now just needs weathering and the gunner's arms and Heavy Bolter painting. Should get that done tonight.

I've also started on the Rhino. The 'tank commander' model in an earlier post will get finished and added to the missing hole.


None of the metals have had anything done to them yet. The only reason the dozer blade is painted in bare metal as opposed to the blue/grey scheme like the predator is that I figure with standard APCs they'll have a stock of basic blades that get attached as and when. The pred one I feel would be a constant addition to the vehicle.

All going relatively well for my ETL vow... mind you, I've still got the lord to paint :/

Seriously Stinkenheim, your skills at modeling AND painting are astounding! The speeder looks amazing as it is (with the gunners arms added, of course) even without these final touches you mentioned! Top notch stuff here! Can't wait to see the thunderlord! Keep up the breath taking work brother!

End of Line

Cheers for the kind words guys.

I know I haven't finished my first vow but whilst I'm on a roll I'm prepping the next batch of minis... Here's a shot as they stand.

OK guys. The Land Speeder and Rhino are both finished and painting has begun on the lord (no shots of him yet as it's simply blocking out colours).

Here are the fully weathered vehicles...

 

Landspeeder.

I realise some people may question why the underside is muddy, well it's not technically mud, it's more like dust. I figure the speeder will often need to fly very close to the ground to avoid detection and the grav engines will likely kick up some dust and being my wolves, they probably won't be too fussed about hosing the underside down that much. As for the 'flying stand', well the plastic one broke, partly due to the increased weight of the model and partly because it's stupid so I used an old screwdriver. It'll get spayed black soon, and the base will have the usual flock/snow/clump foliage put on. But it's done,a s far as my ETL vow is concerned.

 

Now for the Rhino...

And the crew member... I'm making a few hatches/crew members purely so that I can switch around my vehicles depending on upgrades E.g storm bolter, HKM etc.

Anyways, sorry for the excessive amount of pics but please let me know what you guys think.

Now back to the big man....
