Rune_Priest_Rhapsody Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Nice work Fyth!! Great looking priest you've got there!! I keep getting distracted by other things as well... Night Lords and Eldar Wraiths... I'll have to say that the possibility for a new codex and that WD cover with it's wolfy goodness on it has my inner wolf howling again!!

Fytharin Posted December 31, 2014 Author Share Posted December 31, 2014 6 months…..since I’ve been on and it feels like forever. I want to apologize to the community first off before I go into what I’ve been up to. I made a commitment to update the FAQ’s page and while I messaged an officer about RL issues I still feel like an apology is owed to you guys. Moving forward, I’ve finally settled into my new apartment, I started a second job which has wrecked my amount of free time to commit to painting/browsing the forums. And now that my schedule is finally stabilizing a little bit I’ve been finding niches of time here and there to paint. For Christmas my amazing second half bought me a corner desk as my new painting station so I’ll be getting that up and going this weekend. Again, sorry for the failure on this side. But I really have missed you guys and our community, hope to be more active again moving forward. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarl Kjaran Coldheart Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Apologies are for when things are your fault. Real life intruding on your game life is never your fault. Happy to see you back. WLK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dantay VI Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Amen to WLK's sentiments... RL before mini's (as much as it pains me to say that, it is true)). Glad to see you back in the fold... And well done on the other half for getting you something war gaming related (wish my other half would do that!!).. Happy New Year to you & yours.. I hope you have a prosperous, happy and stable 2015 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulrik_Ironfist Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Welcome back. I've seen some of your work in other threads, and I've got to say, it's good. I'm sort of a lazy painter, I'll do some HQ's every now and then, maybe a batch of infantry, but I've got to have a 12 pack or a few other choice adult beverages, before I slow down enough to pick up a brush. I'll be trying to get some of my own painting work up. I enjoy building, converting, and gaming more than I enjoy painting. As such, I still have my Tau, and my wolves to paint. Most of it is either bare plastic, or has enough paint on it to look like something. As for the life thing, My first Squadron Commander had a saying, "Life happens." Don't apologize for things outside your control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fytharin Posted January 1, 2015 Author Share Posted January 1, 2015 Thanks guys for the responses. :) I have tomorrow off so I'll be painting and probably posting those projects. Glad to be back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mactire Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Great to see you back Fyth, real-life has that nasty habit of getting in the way. Roll on 2015. p.s. any more work on that stonehorn project ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fytharin Posted January 2, 2015 Author Share Posted January 2, 2015 Mactire, sadly not really. I've probably done a few modifications since last posting about it here and there but I've been staring at it these 6 months and the annoyance is building as far as how little progress I've made....it's definitely high on my list right now to get done next. Thanks Val. :) It feels sooooo good to be painting again. Completing this TWC is me saying goodbye to the last six months and lo and behold.....I actually did the base on it. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v204/zoogarama/40k%20Mini%20pics/IMG_20150101_182907220_zps127908ac.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v204/zoogarama/40k%20Mini%20pics/IMG_20150101_184234419_HDR_zps7217f124.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v204/zoogarama/40k%20Mini%20pics/IMG_20150101_184300906_HDR_zps8ebbf847.jpg I REALLY like how the fur came out on this one even if it isn't the most photogenic. But consiering I did it like four months ago I think I may have trouble figuring out exactly how I did it.....if I do I definitely plan on doing a picture tutorial because the result is wicked cool. Been trying forever to get a brown/red wolf to look right and I think I finally managed it. Here's to 2015, charging ahead and so far off to a good start.

Huggtand Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Very nice painting. Mya I ask where the wooden shield is from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rift Blade Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Great to see you back Fyth. AS has been said, apologies not required. Real life is called real life for a reason. Totally understand about work messing up your schedule. Did it last year. Really like the TW. Clean & crisp. Especially like the fur. The shading of the browns is awesome. Looking forward to more.

Fytharin Posted January 2, 2015 Author Share Posted January 2, 2015 The shield I believe I pulled from an ork boys bit sprue. it even has a little tuft of hair near the shoulder which I thought works well for us wolves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valerian Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 I'm really digging how you did the red/yellow left greave; do you do that as a pack marker for all of your models? Or, what's your scheme with that? What's going to go on his right shoulder pauldron? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fytharin Posted January 2, 2015 Author Share Posted January 2, 2015 I did it as a pack marker for this guy because he was missing one shoulder pad due to the shield arm. But seeing the end result I really do like how it looks so I might be figuring out how to incorporate it more into the rest of my guys especially since I have like ten more of these ork boyz arms. As for the blank yellow shoulder I haven't decided just yet which great company I want for my guys so I've just been painting it up and leaving it blank for the day that I finally decide.

Nice looking TWC, Fyth!! I've been painting mine all day and it's nice to see some finished models!! I've been painting those jags on the leg yellow and black to mark the whole wolf guard thing, but the red looks sharp!! I was hoping to see the Longhorn progress as well!! Get on that!! ;) End of Line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fytharin Posted January 3, 2015 Author Share Posted January 3, 2015 Started on a gray hunter today, tomorrow I'll finish him and because everyone keeps asking, I'll start in on the predator.

Fytharin Posted January 4, 2015 Author Share Posted January 4, 2015 Finally sat down to work on the Stonehorn/Predator tonight. I feel like I've spent ages on this fur but at least the end result, I think, is pretty good. Anyways, here's a proof of progress for people who have been asking. More will follow soon ;) (Disregard the black ink, it hadn't dried yet) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v204/zoogarama/IMG_20150104_043258499_HDR_zps2dbc34f4.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dantay VI Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Looks promising, I like that ou used a skin tone, quite close to the fur colour, but distinctive enough you can easily tell them apart without the colours clashing. I look forward to seeing more :) I am sure Immersturm would be too as this would be his kind of thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fytharin Posted March 23, 2015 Author Share Posted March 23, 2015 Alright so here's a small status update. Been trying to paint here and there where I can on my predator conversion. Here are a few pictures, hope you like them. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v204/zoogarama/MEGAN-PC/Pictures/IMG_20150315_192606992_HDR_zpsf24219bb.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v204/zoogarama/MEGAN-PC/Pictures/IMG_20150315_194156605_zpsf24e7dab.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v204/zoogarama/MEGAN-PC/Pictures/IMG_20150315_192645824_HDR_zps655feec7.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v204/zoogarama/MEGAN-PC/IMG_20150315_193557643_HDR_zpsf655e166.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fytharin Posted July 23, 2015 Author Share Posted July 23, 2015 Greetings brothers! The painting fever has taken hold of me once more. Now that I’ve reduced my schedule down to one job, I’ve had a lot more free time this last week. So far I’ve been able to put it to good use. I placed third in a local tournament and I’ve been trying my hand at painting in bulk rather than one model at a time. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v204/zoogarama/IMG_20150718_220002641_zps6kfvv47d.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v204/zoogarama/IMG_20150718_220214542_zpszwvdrat6.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v204/zoogarama/IMG_20150718_220244247_zpsbobsfscd.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v204/zoogarama/IMG_20150718_220306066_zpst51cynpl.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konnavaer Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Nice work sister, I like the vibrant colours you've used there, really makes the models pop ! Well done on the tourney result and here is to the painting fever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
