commander alexander Posted May 14, 2010 Author Share Posted May 14, 2010 Thanks Schultzhoffen. I finished scrapping together the four grey hunter packs, the are uglier than a (insert the ugliest thing you can think of). This is because half of the models are partially stripped second hand ultramarines, so ya <_< ... After ard boys, I will dis-assemble everything, I mean everything and anything in the army I rushed on, and take my time to do a better job. They are kitted out as -2X; 2 meltas, motw, standard and drop pod -2X; 2 flamers, motx, power weapon, standard and drop pod Now I just have to scrap up the other long fang pack and the four drop pods. If you wanna help me with the list, Ive got a thread going in the Space Wolves List Reviews.

commander alexander Posted May 15, 2010 Author Share Posted May 15, 2010 So after much screaming in frustration, I finished assembling the drop pod. Only 3 more to go! :D http://i391.photobucket.com/albums/oo353/caj007/WarHammer039.jpg After changing my retinue list-wise, I needed to make a small change model wise. 2 Mystics, and 1 sage instead of the other way around. http://i391.photobucket.com/albums/oo353/caj007/WarHammer041.jpg I love the pose I accidentally put on this guy, its almost like he's doing the co(BS!)ugh sort of thing if you know what I mean. http://i391.photobucket.com/albums/oo353/caj007/WarHammer043.jpg And for some fun, I did some more painting on the venerable dread, and I must say, I'm liking him much more in the more traditional SW colors. I will take more time to paint him after Ive taken care of everything else, which all has to be ready by Sunday morning. http://i391.photobucket.com/albums/oo353/caj007/WarHammer044.jpg http://i391.photobucket.com/albums/oo353/caj007/WarHammer045.jpg So feel free to comment, I'm kind of feeling lonely here. :teehee: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/200596-alexanders-wip/page/2/#findComment-2400575 Share on other sites More sharing options...
commander alexander Posted May 16, 2010 Author Share Posted May 16, 2010 The current condition of drop pod #2...... Theres two more after this, and 'Ard Boyz is tomorow at 9, oh what fun :blush: ...... http://i391.photobucket.com/albums/oo353/caj007/WarHammer.jpg There wasn't any yelling or screaming this time, and only two parts broke. But then again, I'm only half way done on this one, and I was already growling.... Now Im gonna take a quick break to paint Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/200596-alexanders-wip/page/2/#findComment-2401300 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edemia Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 Where did you get the named on the dred? Maybe this was asked already sorry and maybe it is in some obvious set or you said you made it but sorry i missed that lolz If your talking about the names on the plate its part of the new Venerable Dreadnought Plastic Kit. Looking cool so far mate, look forward to seein em finished :) Edemia EDIT+++ Agreed with the drop pod - I built the one out of the SW Battleforce and as a result I probably won't be buying another - It was an absolute git to build :S Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/200596-alexanders-wip/page/2/#findComment-2401313 Share on other sites More sharing options...
commander alexander Posted May 16, 2010 Author Share Posted May 16, 2010 Oh, okay yeah the names on the plate are from the new venerable dreadnought kit. The ones you see on mine are actually the "base" ones that are part of the front, the other ones you see pictures of are secondary pieces you can cover these up with. Yes, the drop pods are big gits, but I need them, and will unfortunately have to buy more in the future. So here is the second drop pod finished. I am going to bed early tonight so I can wake up early tomorrow and finish getting everything ready. http://i391.photobucket.com/albums/oo353/caj007/WarHammer047.jpg Cheers Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/200596-alexanders-wip/page/2/#findComment-2401338 Share on other sites More sharing options...
commander alexander Posted May 17, 2010 Author Share Posted May 17, 2010 With 'Ard Boyz over, I can now actually try to keep my personal vow of completing a single project before I start another, so currently on my painting station, is my venerable dreadnought. His name shall be Ari (pronounced R-E) which means eagle (as in eagle-eyed). He doesn't have a title yet (Bjorn the Fell-Handed), but I suppose he will earn that in another game.

commander alexander Posted May 18, 2010 Author Share Posted May 18, 2010 So right now, I'm working on the venerable dreadnought I got recently. I (just about) always equip my dreadnoughts with plasma cannons, so I decided I would start on the cannon. I have never really painted a plasma weapon, so this is really the first. Its still a WIP of course, but I think I am done with the muzzle. I may later put a gloss on it, and then re-do the washes. So let me know what you think of it right now. http://i391.photobucket.com/albums/oo353/caj007/WarHammer053.jpg http://i391.photobucket.com/albums/oo353/caj007/WarHammer057.jpg http://i391.photobucket.com/albums/oo353/caj007/WarHammer055.jpg If you are wondering why its lighter on the outer side, I try to make the light source come from the right of my models (left in the photo to us).

The Normish Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Neato! I like how the plasma cannon is painted. I'd like to point out something that I've recently discovered. While reading through my January edition of White Dwarf in French, I noticed that in the Legion of the Dead painting guide, they named what everyone (including myself until then) thinks is the plasma container in a plasma gun/cannon. Turns out it's a magnetic accelerator (accelerateur magnetique in French), and those are coils of some sort. So now, it seems like the should be painted silver or something. Which is a real shame, because so many wonderful plasma guns/cannons are already painted the other way. Of course, I've seen a few GW-made models with that part painted like a plasma reservoir, so who really knows? Anyway, keep up the good work, this Venerable Dreadnought looks like it will be great.

commander alexander Posted May 23, 2010 Author Share Posted May 23, 2010 So I'ze got a question for you boyz. So me mech boy has gotten some 'Uge choppas, but, he cant decide on wich one to tell tha pain boy to put on 'em. So which choppa duz you think is da best? Ok, so not in ork, I got a nob box for the uge choppas and cant make up my mind, so which one do you think looks best for my Iron Priest. Please keep in mind He will most likely be riding a juggernaut later, and is representing the little bit of fluff I wrote for Böðvarr the Iron-Heart. So this is what he looks like with a pair of bike riding legs right now. http://i391.photobucket.com/albums/oo353/caj007/WarHammer069.jpg Ande Here are the choppas. Choppa 1 http://i391.photobucket.com/albums/oo353/caj007/WarHammer068-6.jpg Choppa 2 http://i391.photobucket.com/albums/oo353/caj007/WarHammer068-4.jpg Choppa 3 http://i391.photobucket.com/albums/oo353/caj007/WarHammer068-3.jpg Choppa 4 http://i391.photobucket.com/albums/oo353/caj007/WarHammer068-2.jpg Choppa 5 http://i391.photobucket.com/albums/oo353/caj007/WarHammer068-1.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/200596-alexanders-wip/page/2/#findComment-2409129 Share on other sites More sharing options...
the thousandth whisper Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 Most definitely Choppa 4. It's design is a little less scrappy than the rest, suggesting it is not of Ork origin Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/200596-alexanders-wip/page/2/#findComment-2409170 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlOoD_GoD Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 Chopper 4 definately, mainly because it looks awesome, but yeah.... Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/200596-alexanders-wip/page/2/#findComment-2409284 Share on other sites More sharing options...
commander alexander Posted June 13, 2010 Author Share Posted June 13, 2010 Ive gotten a lot done (for me at least), but its spread out so everything just has a little work done ;) . I cant post pics because I don't have batteries for my camera, so I will try and get some tomorrow. My jump pack wolf priest is coming along slowly, he's got some basic stuff done on the flesh of the face, and some pretty interesting "frosty grey hair". bronze metallics are started, as well as red, and the majority of the 'body' is done.also its the other helmet that comes with the ven. dread kit, the one with the huge grill. I unfortunately lost the other, I think it may have been swallowed by another black hole. I'm painting the helmet for the Thunder Wolf Iron Priest while I'm waiting for the rest of him to come together. I've started painting a certain LOGAN GRIMNAR. Cool/fun model to paint. I've gone pack to dry-brushing for highlighting, its so much better than trying to layer a bunch of slightly different mixes. Been experimenting with basing, making some pretty cool stuff to.

commander alexander Posted August 15, 2010 Author Share Posted August 15, 2010 So heres that scenery I mentioned in the update on that first post. My friend is having me do 4 or 5 of these by the end of the month, so unfortunetly, I will not be able to put a 10-out-of-10 effort towards these. Maybe a 5. Also an airbrush would make it so much easier. So anyways he wants them to be an urban-ish battlefield in winter, with pieces of the ship scattered between them. I have only gotten a chance to touch the ship with a little grey yet, so thats pretty much how he had the whole thing painted. Mind you this is a work in progress. http://i391.photobucket.com/albums/oo353/caj007/WarHammer018.jpg http://i391.photobucket.com/albums/oo353/caj007/WarHammer019-1.jpg Now check out this new kit for a piece of demon-world scenery from GW!!! http://i391.photobucket.com/albums/oo353/caj007/RamsHead003.jpg Just kiddin' :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/200596-alexanders-wip/page/2/#findComment-2488698 Share on other sites More sharing options...
commander alexander Posted August 20, 2010 Author Share Posted August 20, 2010 I should have an update of that terrain soon, complete with dead marine and dead hormagaunt. The terrain is for a team battle tournament at the end of the month so I'm going to try to include some of the major races in the terrain. ---Dont Go Crazy, read the next sentence carefully you--- I have been basing some my tyranids with the snow and I'm making a Diorama with some psykers battling it out, with of course a marine or chaos marine librarian/sorcerer. I may include pictures later. Hopefully I will be able to attend the tourney, but I'm very busy this month.

mromeo1987 Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 the dreadnaught reminds me of a drone from portal on steroids. so all in all. . . this was a triumph. I'm making a note here, HUGE SUCCESS.
