Fred Johnson the 3rd jr Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Actually, my camera sucks...BUT! I've got a new iphone, which has a better camera in it! I am already sold on your guys and your color scheme, you know this. So don't take this the wrong way, but you took better pictures with your old technologically inferior camera! The pictures appear to be overexposed with the highlights blown way out. And the lighting seems a bit harsh, whether by flash or a lamp, or I suppose it could be the over-saturation of color which is clouding my judgment on the lighting. The point is, your earlier pics were better. But that's just me, a photo snob. If I ever paint anything anywhere near as good as the stuff I see on this site, perhaps I will wow you all with some macro photography of some marines.

Alaitoc Posted December 1, 2010 Author Share Posted December 1, 2010 Okay! I'm no photo- expert...so I'll just use the old camera from now on! However, small update: Everybody knows that if you seek death, where's the place to go? Yes, you guessed it right: The eye of terror! However...fighting against daemons and marine maniacs on their home arena isn't really healthy, especially if you're an old, angry guy already f***ed up by mark of the wulfen. This can turn you into...well...a werewolf... So...one of my mark of the wulfen guys has turned into a werewolf, but don't worry! He's still in control of his body. He was just...."upgraded" from a lunatic to...a BIGGER lunatic. You can also say that he reached the final stage of the wulfen, and are now fully turned into a werewolf. Here he is: http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y129/Gorthor/41e3ed96.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y129/Gorthor/1948d7f0.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y129/Gorthor/e5ec42c1.jpg He'll probably look a whole lot better painted! But it was a fun touch adding some more fluff to my fluffy hero-grandpa-army!

Alaitoc Posted December 2, 2010 Author Share Posted December 2, 2010 First game of 40k played in 4 years! It was against orks, and I lost barely. It was great fun and my painted models looked very nice on the tabletop! I also got a 2nd edition spacewolf with a powerfist and a bare head from my opponent (old friend of mine)! Old School is cool, so he got a spot in my grey huners squad, replacing my wulfen greenstuff werewolf. The main problem I had was my characters dying from str 8 attacks! that sucked, and I also really felt my lack of high str shooting against veichles. Also some blastweapons were missed...So I made a new list! This one has 10 more models in it. 10 more FUN models - bikes, attackbikes, drop pod, more terminators and longfangs! I don't want to do mechanized stuff, so a drop pod is all I shall have for my wolf guard squad. I don't like the trend of having lots of veichles. Wolf Lord 220 pts Terminator armour Thunderhammer & Stormshield Saga of the bear Wolf tail talisman 4x Wolf guard 237 pts 3 thunderhammer/stormshield 1 wolf claws Drop pod w. deathwind missile Launcher 55 pts Rune Priest 185 pts Master of the runes Terminator armour Meltabombs Saga of the beastslayer 4x Wolf Guard 202 4 power fists 1 assaultcannon 5x Grey Hunters 135 pts Plasmagun 1x Power fist 1x Mark of the wulfen 1x Wolf standard 5x Grey Hunters 125 pts Plasmagun 1x Power fist 1x Mark of the wulfen 5x Longfangs 190 pts 2 plasmacannons 2 lascannons 1 missile launcher 3x Swiftclaw bikers 150 pts Power weapon 1x attack bike w. multi melta Meltabombs Do you think it'll work better than my previous list?

Alaitoc Posted December 5, 2010 Author Share Posted December 5, 2010 All right! Old School is cool, like I said in a previous post! Here he is! A REAL veteran! He fits like a glove in my grey hunters squad, and I really like this model a lot! http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y129/Gorthor/PC052725.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y129/Gorthor/PC052726.jpg He's not based yet, so he's not fully complete.

Brother Tuditanus Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 I've been looking for something not baby blue like on my wolves as well, as one of the first things I read on the Chapter (source is long since forgotten, could have been anything from a 'dex to WD to a novel) likened the armor to fog or mist near the shores of a sea. And that foggy, misty image has always stayed in my head. Thanks for the solution!

Alaitoc Posted December 26, 2010 Author Share Posted December 26, 2010 Thank you for all the feedback wolfbrothers! You guys make me feel very proud and inspired to continue my painting adventures :) . I got some good "Do and buy whatever you want"- money this christmas...so! I decided to order myself a Landraider Redeemer to really burn my heretic chaos opponents to ashes! (often play against chaos - and orks) Main question now is - How shall I paint my tanks? Metallic makes it hard to do any real battledamage in a good way, but it would really fit in my colour scheme. Red would maybe be nice, and would enable me to do really cool weathering and battledamage. Bonewhite would also enable me to do some nice weathering and battledamage, but what would look best? What would fit in my army best in your opinion - Metallic blue with bonewhite and red details, Red with bonewhite details or Bonewhite with red details? It's a couple of days untill the redeemer arrives, so you have a couple of days to convince me of which scheme I shall choose for my redeemer!

FenrisWolf Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 I think that the metallic blue and red and bonewhite details is the way to go. It is an excellent match to your army. Then again, I am struggling with deciding how to paint and weather my own vehicles. Marines aren't tactically stupid (except maybe Ultrasmurfs) so I don't understand why they don't camouflage their tanks - I was thinking for my own something along the lines of what I've seen from the Valhallan Ice Warriors in color scheme. As for battle damage - I've always thought that less is more, especially since Space Wolf vehicles are so lovingly cared for by our Iron Priests!

Alaitoc Posted December 28, 2010 Author Share Posted December 28, 2010 As for battle damage - I've always thought that less is more, especially since Space Wolf vehicles are so lovingly cared for by our Iron Priests! Well, with battle damage I mean more like chipped paint and weathering... As for colour scheme, I was thinking about someting like this: http://www.warscapefortyk.co.uk/demon%20hunt%20land%20raider.JPG Found it on google, and I think something like that could work for my army! I'm recieving the Land raider today! So tonight is assembly- night!

Brother Tuditanus Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 The problem for me, with the picture and primarily red and white, it just doesn't seem to match with the rest of the army in any unifying way. I think even just a dark grey would look better. Just personal taste though.

Alaitoc Posted December 28, 2010 Author Share Posted December 28, 2010 I think I'll paint it the same silvery blue as the rest of the army after all! I'll make some cool details that I think you'll like! The LR is assembled and ready for paint...maybe I'll paint it tomorrow - we'll see!

Alaitoc Posted December 28, 2010 Author Share Posted December 28, 2010 Thanks man! My thoughts? Well, I think that the whole marine thing is all about simply being too badass to care about camo. In my world space marine got an attitude like: Here I am! Shoot me! See if I care! I DARE you to shot me! See what happens! Camo is for cowards who can't take a bullet in the chest and survive! :lol: That's my thought on camo and space marines. Especially wolves, who's got a Viking mentatlity: Get there fast, berzerk, slaughter everyone, take whatever you need or accomplish your task, then leave and have a big party to celebrate your deeds! For that you don't need camo :P. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/214631-long-fang-lonewolves/page/2/#findComment-2600896 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starkhan Fellblade Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Yea landraiders are not stealth they are for charging strait into battle.

Brother Tuditanus Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Oddly enough, a (albeit paraphrased quote) from a Star Wars novel works GREAT for the SM-Camo debate. "Sure, they can see and hear us coming... But doing something about it? That's entirely different". That fits very well to the SW mentality I think. And most Astartes in general.
