Kassill Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 He looks familiar Fyth. Got this one and one with claws still in blisters as well as a whole shoe box of 2nd ed terms partially painted. http://i785.photobucket.com/albums/yy134/Kassill1/IMG_20160128_100226700_zpsiahndnqn.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fytharin Posted January 28, 2016 Author Share Posted January 28, 2016 Ughhhh wispy that FW Dreadnaught throw away made me cringe a little LOL I think I may get to that point eventually....like I've thought about getting rid of my old rhino's as I'm able to replace them with Forge World door ones. Thankfully though, when my wolves go to battle in a 2k point game I use the majority of the models you see here. The only thing that I never really use are the HQ's but they are fun for casual friendly games so they still see some use. The canis models see play when I run out of TWC models but I just bought another box to fix that so those might see the trash..... EDIT: And jeese, I didn't know I had such an antique. He just kind of hangs out, and he's fun to have around so don't think I'll be tossing him. Thanks for the feedback on him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dantay VI Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Why not do a press mould of the FW symbols, so you can apply them to your older rhinos and razorbacks? Cheaper than starting again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So few purchases actually made it to the display shelf... At least losing that one to sealant was an accident. I have a good arrangement with my current hobby acquisition that balances those youthful mispurchases . can't really talk about the arrangement until later this spring, however. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slave to Darkness Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Dont wish to split (wolf) hairs, but the terminators came out in the limbo period before 2nd ed hit, so technically first ed, I still have a pdf of the WD mag somewhere when they came out. But they pulled 1st ed off the shelves at that point so you could say 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fytharin Posted February 18, 2016 Author Share Posted February 18, 2016 Managed to finally finish this Rhino. The green on the head lamps actually turned out really cool so thanks to those of you who talked that over with me in the What are you working on thread! These pics don't really capture the highlights but I have a pretty bad camera so I didn't try too hard. Really happy with how it turned out in the end. Someday I'd like to go back and put some battle damage on it but today is not that day... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v204/zoogarama/40k%20Mini%20pics/IMG_20160217_225708798_zpspuecnffb.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v204/zoogarama/40k%20Mini%20pics/IMG_20160217_225740189_zpsgm3wdvqx.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v204/zoogarama/40k%20Mini%20pics/IMG_20160217_225820147_zpsgnnsg7c4.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Achiles Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Dude great work. Especially loving the fur on your wolves. Not sure if you covered it but how did you do the fur on those wolves. What was your process? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fytharin Posted February 18, 2016 Author Share Posted February 18, 2016 Thanks! I actually did a tutorial a while ago for the forum. Here's the link http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/290621-how-to-paint-peltsfur-tutorial/?do=findComment&comment=3674812 I've since changed how I do things and seem to get better results. I have some time on my hands tonight so I'll try and update that here in the near future for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amarog Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 oh my days, that rhino is really nice. The FW doors and front plate are awesome. I wish I had the focus and patience to highlight my vehicles like this, a simply dry brush on the corners is all they're getting from me lol. lovely stuff. also the main details being silver with just a few gold parts look great, i've tended to use gold more in the past but this may have swayed me.

Fytharin Posted February 18, 2016 Author Share Posted February 18, 2016 Amarog, if you're interested, I based it with gold and then went over it with a heavy dry brush of sycorax bronze. It really is a nice color and you still get the hint of gold without it being too much in your face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wispy Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 i find it how wierd how much it adds to a model to shadi and highlight the bolts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fytharin Posted February 19, 2016 Author Share Posted February 19, 2016 i find it how wierd how much it adds to a model to shadi and highlight the bolts. I was too, part of me really really hoped it wouldn't look good because there are so many but the end result is definitely worth it. Being able to see small details from afar really helps make a model pop on the table. Ok great Fyth. If you could do an update that would be great. Got my wolves last night. Rodger rodger.

Fytharin Posted February 21, 2016 Author Share Posted February 21, 2016 I'm on speed assembly today. Decided to readdress my Long Fangs that I had hastily put together a while ago and give them some more character. Fairly happy with how squad one came out. Long Fang Ancient http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v204/zoogarama/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20160221_120335059_HDR_zpsaoegz0pa.jpg Squad of Five http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v204/zoogarama/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20160221_120234839_zps9n3sxjy8.jpg Threw this guy together because...why not. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v204/zoogarama/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20160127_203330996_zpsd4cxqohc.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fytharin Posted February 22, 2016 Author Share Posted February 22, 2016 Didn't get everything done that I wanted to do but I'll still call tonight a success. Was able to go back and give some old TWC and LF's some TLC that was badly needed, managed to assemble two IP on TWC, a new TWC, FW Rhino, and a squad of wulfen Really happy with how everything turned out, my right hand has a swollen palm from using the sprue cutters for so long tonight, and I still have the SW Start Collecting box and 10 GH's to go. Feedback is definitely appreciated! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v204/zoogarama/40k%20Mini%20pics/IMG_20160221_222452761_HDR_zpsq2vw65mv.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v204/zoogarama/40k%20Mini%20pics/IMG_20160221_222535894_HDR_zpsiddgkond.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v204/zoogarama/40k%20Mini%20pics/IMG_20160221_222637809_zpswjefv3oo.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v204/zoogarama/40k%20Mini%20pics/IMG_20160221_222340509_HDR_zpst2snv3a2.jpg LMAO for creepy hamster in the last picture, did not notice him at all tonight until I put these pictures up.

Dantay VI Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Looking good Fyth. The joins on the TWC head could do with a bit of green stuffing, but the kit is notoriously bad for the gaps if memory serves me. I like the metals on the finished rhino, especially the gold in the centre of the front plate. So deep and nice, almost like amber. Lastly, the wulfen are looking good, as-is Krom.

Fytharin Posted February 22, 2016 Author Share Posted February 22, 2016 Tbh I was thinking the same thing on the gaps. It has been so long since I've assembled any, I think I remember doing it on one or two of them before? I'll have to toy with it...I think tonight though I want to start painting my LF's so it may be a while before I get around to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fytharin Posted February 23, 2016 Author Share Posted February 23, 2016 Did a little more work on my TWC tonight. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v204/zoogarama/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20160222_224737073_HDR_zpsttlhwnjf.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alakinsky Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 It's been a long time since I posted anything on here, but I have recently got back in to playing 40K after a four year drought. I'm jonesing to get painting again and came across this thread. Your work is great and the improvement in your painting skills is phenomenal. I've been in the hobby for 20 years and I don't paint that well! Excellent work! I've struggled to get my Rhinos with FW bits to look as amazing as yours do. Again, awesome work! Keep it up!

Dantay VI Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Bare armed TWC looks cool. Are they Wulfen arms or are you using the marauder or beast man arms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fytharin Posted February 23, 2016 Author Share Posted February 23, 2016 I believe they're beastmen bits, I like how bare skinned they are but they also have little tuffs of hair near the shoulder/armpit area which isn't so far fetched on a space wolf so they're perfect.
