Sarapham Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Hey there! To motivate myself to get more painting done I thought I´d put up my progress so I actually can feel I have achieved something ;) as well as get some tips and such if you brothers and sister have any comments. So I will update this as I finish up my pack. While I have almost every unit in the codex my main army is Krakendoom based and therefore looks most often like this: - Rune Priest that goes with GH in rhino. - Either a Wolf Priest on bike, or when I feel like it, Krakendoom himself (Wolf Lord) on a bike though that model is not finished yet. - A drop pod with either a Assault Cannon Dreadnaught in it, or sometimes for fun it is a TDA unit. - 2 GH units in rhino with melta/combi-melta and Powerfist leader (Though I sometimes switch those leaders out for other equipment variants). One of those are joined by the runepriest. - 1 GH unit in rhino with 2 plasma guns, no leader. - 1 Bike squad, usually 5-6 bikes + attack bike and pack leader, and as said above Priest or Lord on bike. - 1-2 Typhoon Speeders - 2 Long fang packs with Missiles, both having a razorback. So you can see I try to adhere to the "Lightarmor + bikes + naval" theme to the force. So onto the models! Here is the Rune Priest, the usual leader of the force. http://img641.imageshack.us/img641/4408/imag0055x.jpg http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/9404/imag0038qe.jpg A selection of TDA I sometimes use in my drop-pod: http://img831.imageshack.us/img831/276/imag0053nc.jpg http://img824.imageshack.us/img824/6720/imag0054e.jpg http://img856.imageshack.us/img856/4011/imag0052q.jpg http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/4434/imag0051qt.jpg My plasma pack: http://img228.imageshack.us/img228/7684/imag0048nj.jpg http://img219.imageshack.us/img219/6392/imag0049al.jpg http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/3346/imag0050rw.jpg My first Long fang pack, using Hunter-Killer missiles as Launchers: http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/1406/imag0041ib.jpg http://img857.imageshack.us/img857/1405/imag0042y.jpg http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/8124/imag0043yj.jpg And finally for this post, my favorite Wolf Guard in Power Armor which is also the leader of my 4th edtion Killteam and sometimes act as pack leader: http://img718.imageshack.us/img718/662/imag0044n.jpg http://img52.imageshack.us/img52/6096/imag0046g.jpg http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/7238/imag0047v.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/226854-wip-krakendoom-army-now-with-engir-himself/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeddon Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Well done, I'm looking forward to seeing your Krackendoom! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/226854-wip-krakendoom-army-now-with-engir-himself/#findComment-2717264 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nadir Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 When I saw the last pic it was remind me Thrud the Barbarian (i know, the helmet is different, but still...). I like this ultra barbaric apperance. I'm trying to repaint and remodel my army to Krakendooms myself, so now I will be waiting for your works to steal the ideas;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/226854-wip-krakendoom-army-now-with-engir-himself/#findComment-2717724 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orphus Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Your army looks great so far! Do you think your Wolves look better in grey or is that a Krakendoom thing? Yeah I know SW don't have an internal colour scheme to differentiate the Great Companies but what do you reckon?

Yeah I know SW don't have an internal colour scheme to differentiate the Great Companies but what do you reckon? That is just me prefering a more "Pre-Heresy" look to it, rather than something to do with the fluff. Though I think grey has a "stern" look to it for a lack of a better word, and since Krakendoom was a warlord even before becoming a Marine I kinda figure them in a no-nonsense kinda way which then fits with the sterness. (Not to say standard color or other GC are nonsense.)

No I do a codex grey-ish basecoat spray, then more codex grey and all the details, Badab black wash finished with some fortress grey highlighs Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/226854-wip-krakendoom-army-now-with-engir-himself/#findComment-2719074 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarapham Posted April 17, 2011 Author Share Posted April 17, 2011 Alright 2 more Long Fangs, coming around slowly but surely and just the Leader left for that pack. Does not help that I have started collecting an Elysian IG army as my Space Wolves Support Company ;) Used the Camera flash instead of lighting this time, not sure if it was better hehe. http://img560.imageshack.us/img560/600/imag0060uj.jpg http://img857.imageshack.us/img857/4909/imag0061p.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/226854-wip-krakendoom-army-now-with-engir-himself/#findComment-2726966 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarapham Posted April 18, 2011 Author Share Posted April 18, 2011 Finally the whole pack completely now! Not sure what to paint next, either my new Rune Priest or another GH pack.

Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 You've just painted a pack, so I would paint the Priest. Excellent models, too. I like all the little pouches and daggers you've added to them. The more character, the better.

Sarapham Posted April 22, 2011 Author Share Posted April 22, 2011 Alright finally got around doing my second Rune Priest. I like to use 2 Rune Priest in more competative list, switching out the WP or WL on bike. Base not done yet as you can see as our group is making a new playing board so waiting to see what basing will fit: http://img594.imageshack.us/img594/5370/imag0068ef.jpg http://img827.imageshack.us/img827/485/imag0069y.jpg http://img848.imageshack.us/img848/3239/imag0070c.jpg And here is a pic of his brother which I rarely use in this army though, as you can see they have matching armor :woot: ...

Jarl Kjaran Coldheart Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 i really love both the chaos warrior converted wolf guard and the 2nd Rune Priest. i think the rune on the palm is simply amazing.

Forté Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Not to be the bearer of bad news (cause your models look great) but there's two things you can do to improve them. Paint your bases a non grey colour. Will make your paint job show better as it won't blend into the base. The other is in your prep. Mold lines. Don't clip the pieces of the sprues so closely and scrape off the lines with the side of your knife. Will improve your overall finish.

Yeah the base will be desert-ish later so that will be no problem. And the mold lines is a hassle for me cause I really look for them in my prep work and think I get them all, then somehow I manage to miss some of it just up until I paint them.. must be a blind spot or something :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/226854-wip-krakendoom-army-now-with-engir-himself/#findComment-2734140 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarapham Posted April 29, 2011 Author Share Posted April 29, 2011 Alright got most of my second Grey Hunter Pack done..

Wulfebane Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 What sort of treatment did you use for your gold areas? Also, I'm not sure if it's due to the camera flash, etc on your previous pics, but this pack looks so much more polished and refined in painting skill level. Very impressive.

For the gold I used Vallejo´s Glorious gold color with a simple layer of Badab Black wash over, with a codex grey-ish spray being the basecoat, I like the slightly matted almost bronze-ish look it gives. And thank you kindly for your words, I hope it was simply my camera work being poor before rather than my paint, though I need to work on both :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/226854-wip-krakendoom-army-now-with-engir-himself/#findComment-2741923 Share on other sites More sharing options...
