Wolf Wing WIP

[Glimpse the Void]

Hail Wolf Bros and Sistas!

 

Everything is still in the very beginning, and so your constructive criticism is greatly appreciated! I have not done anywhere near as much work as I'd have like to on these guys this summer. Even still, I thought I'd show you what things are looking like at this point. My paint scheme has changed directions, and have come to look a lot more like GWs colors than I had intended. I threw these pics up on Dakka, but I know that real insight will come from the Fang.

-Cardboard pods next to one of GW's for comparison

These Pods are far from perfect. They are a bit chunky and could use some detail work. The important thing here is that the cardboard box I made the first one from cost $4 and came with free frosted flakes.

 

-I've added more cardboard drop pods and now have 5, which means 3 to the face in turn one.

 

-TDA Wolverine is still one of my favorite models. I tried to finish up the base colors and paint his face. His skin looks like garbage. I'll have to try it again. I'm looking forward to the detail work, but know I need the practice. I run him in a squad full of Logan clones with paired wolf claws.

-I've converted a wolf Lord on a bike. He's still needs to be based.

-Added a bike squad. I bought it for cheaps with awful paint. I'll need to strip them before going any further.

-Rune/Wolf Priest Conversion: The Crow's Eye. I've got the head from the marauder horse kit with the eye patch and grizzled face.

-Converted a squad of Scouts. I'm very pleased with how they look, and their performance on the table. for next to no points, they destroyed a crisis team that was rapid firing plasma into my termys

-I'm starting with the long fangs, because I think they are the bee's knees and need some painting practice before I tackle the wolf guard.

- Dried brushed 2 cyclone missile launchers. I have to concede that they would have looked better if I took the time to paint them for real. They still need a lot of work. I tried to highlight the rockets, and failed. I'll have to start over and blend the colors next time, as opposed to just slapping a red dot on them.

 

- I also tried drybushing the wolves, but this was a disaster. I'll be stripping them and starting again.

 

 

 

I have not finished a single unit this summer. When fall comes, I'll be back to working in my elementary school and college at night. Combine that with the a baby and other family stuff, this may be last month to really spend time working on this army for a long time to come. All that being said, I couldn't help myself from working on a Warriors of Chaos army. Now I'll never finish either army! Damn my ADD

 

Thanks for looking, and offering any advice you may have.

Looking good mate, and don't worry about timing/getting behind, I've been doing mine since a year before the codex came out and still don't have a finished squad, tank or dread lol!

 

I really like the wolf lord on bike.
