Wulf Vengis Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Congratulations! I've added two little ones to our chapter myself in the last couple years. I didn't tell the high lords or the inquisition. Don't want those buggers knowing exactly how many of us wolves there really are now do we. Again congratulations!

Gemini Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 CONGRATULATIONS! AND even better news... He must have grasped the axe or no pictures of him for us! In all seriousness Well Done and you're in for one of the greatest adventures ever :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/258324-fyths-wips-thread/page/8/#findComment-4466273 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RikuEru Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Congratulations! As someone who works with children every day, I can say: You have a challenge and a gift right there. Enjoy it, you'll all grow over time ;) Maybe by the time of ETL X he can help you prime your models. And by the time of ETL XV he can paint his first honorary vow of a few starter marines. But... we shouldn't teach him to handle a bolter, before he can hold his own cup (of the Wulfen). For now: Relax, enjoy some family time and don't worry about your vow anymore.

Fytharin Posted January 30, 2017 Author Share Posted January 30, 2017 So who wants to tell me what happened to Fenris while I was gone... Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/258324-fyths-wips-thread/page/8/#findComment-4638745 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mactire Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Remember your full nights sleep, lying in on weekends, having so much free time and a social life and then along came himself. Well Magnus kinda did the same to Fenris, but like yourself Fyth it's still in the game, a little shaken but solid.

Wolf Guard Dan Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Congrats on the child. Well done. As for fenris. Fenris still stands. The Wolves were beaten but not broken. We sent Magnus packing. Logan had to make some difficult (but IMHO warranted) political decisions to ensure Fenris's survival. And we went off to defend Cadia.

Dantay VI Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 The Iron Wolves lost their Jarl, Egil used a lascannon to shoot at Magnus, but Magnus put Egil between himself and the shot. So Egil inadvertently shot himself to death with a lascannon due to psyker shennanigans. On to Cadia and it looks like the Iron Wolves company and the Fire Howlers (Sven Bloodhowls GC) might be dead to a man.

Fytharin Posted August 23, 2018 Author Share Posted August 23, 2018 Well it's been about 2.5 years since I've managed to put paint on a model. Today though I managed to knock out an entire character somehow, feeling energized and hoping to keep going. I'll get some pics up in the morning.

Fytharin Posted August 23, 2018 Author Share Posted August 23, 2018 So this is the wolf priest I kit bashed a while back, need to drill gun barrels, fix the helm, add some writing to the scrolls and touch up the cross on the shoulder pad before he's done. Does anyone have any good recommendations for gold base, more on the yellow side like on the staff? I'm not happy with the P3 Rhulic Gold into Auric Armour Gold approach I've been using, I have to do a lot of coats to get full coverage and it's a lot of work. Would love any suggestions. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v204/zoogarama/20180823_082649_zpsrimx2qn7.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v204/zoogarama/20180823_080415_zps4iufmlii.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/258324-fyths-wips-thread/page/8/#findComment-5152051 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteySödes Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Scalecolor makes the best metallics for my money currently, sorry if thats not what you meant when asking for recommendations. Looking cool though! I actually like that head on that body you've made, its usually not one of my favs!

Fytharin Posted August 23, 2018 Author Share Posted August 23, 2018 I can see why, it has some poorly defined features and tbh I'm satisfied with where mine ended, but not thrilled. That's exactly what I was looking for, I'll try to look into those. Thanks!

Karack Blackstone Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Proper Wolf Skull heads are way too hard to find it seems, at least, in a GW packaged line. Still, pretty solid model. Agreed on the not stellar part, however, how might you get it there? I'm just asking for the aid in mental sounding board effort to see if you can get from where you are, to where you want to be...

Agreed on the not stellar part, however, how might you get it there? I'm just asking for the aid in mental sounding board effort to see if you can get from where you are, to where you want to be... "Off with his head" comes to mind. Heh, otherwise I could try direct highlights instead of dry brush highlights to try and get the areas to pop that need it. Accent colors tend to help so maybe finding a place for that like the chord at the base of the helm. This is where I'm going to start at least.

Karack Blackstone Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Ah a new father! Welcome to the fold again, it gets easier as they grow Mind your manners, cub! The Lady is seeking advice, thus my question. Still, Fyth, as a relative non-painter, the more actual paint on a model, direct sounding better, the more it might pop. If my inability to paint helped me notice one thing, less is more, and, the only way to get, "Nice mini, looks real," is to consider lighting on a table as well as elsewhere, to see what shows where. Basically, dramatic lighting is from below the face. I think you might get a bit more traction if you can find a way to light the model as if from above, through proper thinness and application of paint. Wolf Skull Helms should be a thing from GW; kinda hurts that one has to butcher the single best non-Ulric model for every WSH head needed...

Fytharin Posted August 24, 2018 Author Share Posted August 24, 2018 Forget about the return of Russ, Fytharin is back. Great to see you back painting, how's the cub doing? Hey Mactire! Cub is doing great, he's fascinated by all of the paint pods that have seemingly appeared overnight. We've sort of enforced a do no touch zone where we've played with Magic the Gathering cards, my confidence that will hold when colorful action figures are on the table is not high...haha, how have you been? Wolf skull helmets can be found from KFStudios. They are amazing and I use them myself More importantly, welcome back! Nice, I'll check them out because I would much prefer to have a skull on this model for sure. I've just never been satisfied with the chop jobs and skulls out there so I went with the wolf head.

Fytharin Posted August 24, 2018 Author Share Posted August 24, 2018 Well, just waiting on some red paint that was out of stock at the LGS before I call the wolf priest done.

Rune Priest Jbickb Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Glad to have you back Fytharin and glad the little one is well. I'm not the worlds greatest painter but I wonder if changing the head color to bone would help it pop?
