SirAstartes Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Hey everyone, welcome to my thread, let me start by saying that I haven't build an Army since I was around 14 years old (25 now), a very long time ago, I'm jumping in the deep end. My plan is to firstly put my models together, give them the look and personality of the Wolves and then slowly start to paint them. I've never been a great painter but if I set my mind to it, read tutorials and give my effort to the project then I can bring the VI Legion to life. As all you know Forgeworld has now stepped up they have begun their campaign on bringing the Horus Heresy to the table, over the last couple of months I've been inspired by player built armies. The Warhammer community is one of the most dedicated and artistic I've laid my eyes on, the work people have created has gave me the motivation to create a Crusade/Heresy era army I always wanted. My first group that I'm putting together: http://files.enjin.com/79100/MODLES/Tactdemo.png Closer view on my SGT: http://files.enjin.com/79100/MODLES/sgtfinal.png http://files.enjin.com/79100/MODLES/sgtbck1.png Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/271117-space-wolves-crusade-era/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheidy Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Great start, looking forward to seeing more..... Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/271117-space-wolves-crusade-era/#findComment-3302431 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urauloth Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 These look amazing so far. What's that sword from? It's impressive, and really suits the model - I know I've seen it before, but I just can't quite place it.

SirAstartes Posted February 11, 2013 Author Share Posted February 11, 2013 Thanks for the comments :) The sword is from the Black Templar Emperors Champion.

Jupiter Forge Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Don't see too many pre-heresy wolves, looking sharp so far. Good luck with them!

Kizzdougs Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Looking good so far! I like how you've 'wolfed' up the sergeant :) Can't wait to see some paint on them.

SirAstartes Posted February 12, 2013 Author Share Posted February 12, 2013 Thanks for the feedback, going to order a some more stuff over the weekend - I might start putting together my Contemptor. Has anyone got any sites that sells bits which could Wolf up my models?

A D-B Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Hell yes, these are awesome. Looking forward to seeing your progress. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/271117-space-wolves-crusade-era/#findComment-3302935 Share on other sites More sharing options...
matchbox Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 might i suggest if you want the sergeants pistol arm looking the same as his sword arm grab a chaos one and shave of the arrows? the gauntlets will match and it won't look odd. Otherwise looking good, the Space wolves packs contain lots of extra bits if you want to wolf them up a bit.

SirAstartes Posted February 12, 2013 Author Share Posted February 12, 2013 @AD-B Thanks for the comment, I can't wait to see your Wolves. I'm actually basing mine around a certain event in your lastest book :) @matchbox Thanks for that mate, I will look into that :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/271117-space-wolves-crusade-era/#findComment-3303015 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirAstartes Posted February 14, 2013 Author Share Posted February 14, 2013 I've just ordered myself another batch of MK II plus weapons, I'm hoping by next week that I will have my my first tactical squads up. Does anyone know any good websites for greenstuffing models? I want to give each mini his own personality etc. Thanks chaps :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/271117-space-wolves-crusade-era/#findComment-3304736 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lachdannan Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 For purely sculpting I don't know, but for GS work and conversions I find From the Warp is good.

Squark Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Looking forward to seeing how these guys go together! I've been thinking of using a MK III heavy weapons team for my Logan-Bomb (Multi-melta long Fangs in a drop pod+ Logan Grimnar to give them Relentless). Eager to see how you make these guys look the part.

SirAstartes Posted February 27, 2013 Author Share Posted February 27, 2013 Been a bit quiet on this blog but I have my reasons, something big is coming.... :) I've started to mod my Wolves so they're more like Space Wolves and less like normal marines, here is my SGT, I got rid of the power sword and cut down a axe:http://files.enjin.com/79100/MODLES/AXESGT1.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/271117-space-wolves-crusade-era/#findComment-3315948 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Way1and Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 I like it! But now the haft on the axe seems a little on the small side... Oh! And don't forget to drill out the barrel!

SirAstartes Posted March 16, 2013 Author Share Posted March 16, 2013 Small update, I'm starting to customize my models so they look different from each other:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v64/muzza/Space%20Wolf%20Army/Marinefront_zps69848e59.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v64/muzza/Marineback_zps59542627.jpg Also here is some bases I've worked on, I don't know if I will use them just playing around with ideas.http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v64/muzza/Space%20Wolf%20Army/basepreivew_zps0e1db656.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/271117-space-wolves-crusade-era/#findComment-3328939 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyrannicide Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 This latest version of the Sergeant is the best. I approve. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/271117-space-wolves-crusade-era/#findComment-3329008 Share on other sites More sharing options...

retrovertigo Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Latest sarge looks the nuts. A Pre-heresy SW army will be so full of win! The armour suits the SW down to the ground.

Res Ipsa Loquitur Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 I used to use them all the time before I moved to the colonies. They have good stock levels and they ship fast too.
