Loken86 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Evening my brothers and sisters been a little while since I posted a mini. I've been busy reading all the Space Wolves fluff i can find and getting advice from my betters right here at the Fang. Right so I'm still running with the 13th co idea but for now I've dropped the Lycans as thunderwolf cav mainly because I can't really sculpt them as well as I want them to look, also I want to keep my verson of the 13th co similar to that from the EoT Codex with a couple of added units(more on these laters) I'm also going to build a Thousnd sons force the goal being to be able to build a display board with both forces facing off against each other. Well thats enough of my ramblings heres my first Grey Slayer pack Alpha It contains 2x Plasmaguns, Power weapon and a Wulfen . http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo171/loken86_2008/Wulfen/Wulfen.jpg http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo171/loken86_2008/Wulfen/GSA4.jpg http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo171/loken86_2008/Wulfen/GSA2.jpg http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo171/loken86_2008/Wulfen/GSA1.jpg http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo171/loken86_2008/Wulfen/GSA.jpg Heres is squad Hail Storm http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo171/loken86_2008/Wulfen/HailStorm.jpg http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo171/loken86_2008/Wulfen/HailStorm3.jpg http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo171/loken86_2008/Wulfen/HailStorm2.jpg http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo171/loken86_2008/Wulfen/HailStorm1.jpg With Hail Storm i've added green stuff to some of the hands to make it look as if thier hands have fur instead of Gauntlets. I think I need to work on these some more though. So as a whole do these look like 13th co space wolves? Also before I paint these guys up should I add damage to the armour? Am I missing things off these guys to make them pop? For my next Grey Slayer squad i have some ideas for more claw like hands but I'll share more on these when I build the squad. If you have read through all this I thank you and appreciate any and all advice.

Brother Mjollner Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 I found hands from the WHFB Crypt Ghouls box worked pretty well, gives them some nice claws...

PupLord Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Nice job! I think these guys look very believable as 13th company so you have a nice start there! (Now get to painting ;) ) As to modelling battle damage, I would suggest that it comes down to your painting skill / painting preference. In my oppinion modelled battle damage looks too exaggerated if done on infantry models, it is better suited to vehicles. Painting battle damage on the other hand isn't hard, but it is tedious and requires quite a lot of brush control. Personally I would always paint the damage on my own models instead of modelling... I think also that you could add a couple of models in there who are not that far into the curse just for variety. Adding a couple of "normal" looking brothers of the 13th would emphasise the "non chaotic" feel of our noble lost brethren! -Pup Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/250412-lokens-13th-company-and-its-enemies/#findComment-3035980 Share on other sites More sharing options...
