Pingo's completed Space Wolves

That's awesome, thanks for sharing. Couple of questions.

 

Have you found the snow has yellowed at all?

 

What PVA did you use? I think the yellowing can have something to do with the PVA.

 

What size cork sheet do you use?

 

Cheers for all the help so far and looking forward to your next update!

Hi irwit, happy to help.

 

The snow has not yellowed as yet, but these models are only a month or so old at the most. I know some people add white paint to the snow.

 

The PVA I used in the snow is called 'Unibond Super PVA Adhesive and Sealer'. It seems like a pretty good glue (I've used it a lot for gluing sand to bases). However for gluing the cork to the bases I used 'UHU General Purpose Adhesive'. This glue is great for that kind of thing, but PVA would work too.

 

I used two sizes of cork sheet depending on the effect I wanted: 5mm thick and 2mm thick. I should have mentioned that I used some cork chippings too for rocks (they come in a bag; I think Railway modellers use them for boulders).

Thanks Mad Hermit smile.png Cool name!

I have a couple more Wolf Guard Terminators to post today; two true brothers in fact. Barungr Half-said, a taciturn and stoic warrior, highly honoured, and Varungr Helblade, a fearsome and headstrong son of Russ, and his Jarl's personal champion.

Barungr Half-said:

Plenty more photos and background stories are on my blog should you wish to peruse.

Thanks for looking!

Hmm, I love this thread and your blog, its all awesome!

 

But that chains word ... :s it needs trimming, its a cool idea but its ruins the balance and scale of the model. Just my opinion though, if you like it, rock on!

Personally I really like the Chainsword, yes it is enormous but then again it makes it stand out and is not beyond the realm of possibility given Space Marine fluff. Much smaller and I think the visual impact would be somewhat reduced. Currently the sight of that thing really makes you sit up and it absolutely fits the character of the Space Wolves.

Trim it then smile.png Its an awesome looking model and army, and the pose is great. Cant take too long to build up a new one ? You should never be afraid or revisiting models if you are not happy.

I fear I would spoil the proportions if I trimmed it as it's roughly double the height and double the width of a regular chainsword. I basically scaled it up. I'm happy enough to leave it alone I think. Anyway; I'm glad you like the army. Can't wait to get it on the table.

Thanks Vash; hopefully it'll look nice and intimidating on the tabletop smile.png

Wow! Great work! You have great brush control and skill.

Cheers for that smile.png I expect it's more a case of tidying up mistakes and cutting just enough corners to get by, lol.

Thanks, all, for the kind comments. I've got another Grey Hunter pack all finished and there's a background story for each model and plenty more photos on my blog here.

So, this is Hjorkyr Stormblade's pack. I had fun painting these guys. They did not have fun in their first battle ... there were no survivors sad.png

It's been a while, and I'm feeling in a necromantic mood, so will resurrect this dusty old thread with some Wolf Scouts.

These are my Wolf Scouts, the first models I built in my Space Wolf army and I really threw myself into the conversions and really wanted to 'wolf-up' the standard scout models.

 

Here are some close ups of these sneaky wolves.

Hope you like these guys. As normal, more pictures and sagas for these characters are on my blog here.
