Well... Ok then, here it is.

 

With the fall here and the winter on the way, the wolves are on my mind again. That being the case I have been spending some more time on my army. I have started tho get the bases done and am ready to venture forth in to "decal land".

But! the reason for this post was a sort of surprise return to activity (hopefully) and to do that I have planned to build and paint a Contemptor. I have ordered it and just received an email back from forge world. they say it may take up to 14 days to arrive. I ordered it on 22 Oct. So any day now!

 

A small return to the forum with pic and questions.... and what have you.

I am expecting to be ready to show off some massive progress starting the weekend of 11 Nov! I have been weathering my vehicles and now will be messing with all the finishing up work the get the wolves finally done. ( only taken about 2 years?)

 

And so the murder make returns!

You should drill out the barrels on your packs and terminators. But I'd suggest using a hand drill, as it gives you more control and precision, than a vibrating dremel would unless you had the piece clapped down firmly. Your weathering on your rhino is impressive.

 

--EDIT--

I used the citadel hobby drill, and it works well for the bolters/bolt-pistols.

ha! you twist my words sir!

but really after..? 2 years... I should have a lot more to show for myself.

this weekend has been given to the troops, with luck next will be the new dred and being that i will have 4 days off I should find the time to work on the vehicles.

 

Maverik, if you have seen the youtube stuff then just wait! a lot of that rusting will be cleaned up , Icons and then weathering! should be very nice. I am hoping to get a game in some time in March... so I had best get to work.

 

...and then I remembered .......my drop pods... lol.....

Get yourself some matte acrylic medium (Liquitex is what I use) and apply some thin coats over your decals. This will smooth them out a bit better, coat them in a clear acrylic paint so as to help appear like it's a part of the shoulderpad and not simply sitting on top of it, and take away the shine from the glossy finish the decals have.

I am using micro sol. I don't have the micro set. I didn't know I would need both when I got it last year. I am using future flor shine as a smoothing medium and micro sol once the decal is in place. and repeat.. then once they look good a little more :cuss to seal them in. Still need a matte sealer.

But here is a look at how it's all going.

Still working on the wolve guard. but I can't rush drying time..not very well anyway...

Still working out how to best get the long fangs done with out cheating.

I am a bit lost at the moment. I ordered Imp Armour Apoc second ed. (Which arrived with my contemptor, yesterday)

Reading the Space Wolves contemptor, well... I wish I had known what options weren't available to us before I ordered.

I ordered the conversion beamer not knowing that their would be no listing for us to use it..

guess I just needed to bitch a little, wasted money and all that could have been a twinlinked lass or something.. oh well.

Strangely enough My group might let me use it any way. Just wish I could have had it as an option.

 

I will get the resin parts washed this evening. I can't wait for this weekend!

The work is going very well. will have pic's on Sat.

I have been thinking about the background for my contemptor.

I am thinking "wolfin contimptor" but he will need a suitably dark name to fit his dark saga. so not really a wolfin but nearly, with berserk tendencies. The carapace missile launcher will be a little out of place. maybe he was a lone wolf, left over form a long fang pack. but he was so horrific in seeking his end. After a catastrophic fight he yet lived. His body destroyed but his rage still hungers. The wolf lord had him interned so he could again seek a glorious end on another day.

He now stalks the battle feilds laying all before him low and wishing for the red snow.

 

or some such nonsense ... <_<
