Grimtooth Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Started new army tonight so popped in 13th Warrior and then opened up a new SW battleforce, SM Tactical Squads x2, and a TWC pack. Also flipped open my digital wallet and ordered up SM Command Squad bits for Wolf Standards and a whole mess of resin bases from Secret Weapon Miniatures.Too tired to put what I started up tonight, but will update in the morning.

Forté Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 ...I really should use my time better. Nice selection of bits to start off there. Tempted to ditch mine and start again myself. Take more time over the posing so I'm more likely to enjoy the painting. Dam you for putting that in my head :'( Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/273872-the-wolves-of-omnetl-ii-challenge/#findComment-3345436 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimtooth Posted April 9, 2013 Author Share Posted April 9, 2013 So got a little more in tonight. My wife has my main camera and she is out of country so gonna have to deal with the Droid pics. This is my model holder when I am chilling in bed doing assembly; http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s89/Grimtooth_photos/2013-04-08_23-31-40_662_zpsf24f3b72.jpg Finished up assembly of the TWC and need to gap fill and get rid of mold lines. Those are seven 13th Co and a rune priest already painted, a couple of WGTDA with CML basecoated to join future Long Fang packs, and my unpainted Gamesday wolf priest. I got this venerable together as well, but he is waiting to be wolfed up a bit , mold lines scraped, and get his wolf claws from the bits store to come in; http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s89/Grimtooth_photos/2013-04-08_23-27-48_611_zps14342a89.jpg I got sidetracked last night by this guy thinking about my future WGPL. http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s89/Grimtooth_photos/2013-04-08_23-28-47_134_zpsbdcfea34.jpg Mold lines, barrel drilled, etc, etc, still need to be done. It is turning out to be a serious pain in the ass not having my bases to work on models while they are temp mounted to check poses/angles. Got an email today that they were shipped, so maybe to orrow or Wednesday.

Durfast Spiritwolf Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Nice start, I feel for you on delivery times. Things always seems to take an age to reach me in Denmark How are you going to run the Wulfen? I've used mine for Horus Heresy games at Tempus Fugitives events and with mates, but haven't found them welcome elsewhere :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/273872-the-wolves-of-omnetl-ii-challenge/#findComment-3346036 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things always seems to take an age to reach me in Denmark How are you going to run the Wulfen? I've used mine for Horus Heresy games at Tempus Fugitives events and with mates, but haven't found them welcome elsewhere One Wulfen per my GH packs right now to represent MoW models. I will also run them as MoW Wolf Guard when I want to run a fun/fluff driven Bran Redmaw list. I am not so much as peeved about deilvery time, just that I didn't have them ordered and on hand before picking up the boxe sets and then being to anxious not to wait before assembly.

Durfast Spiritwolf Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Looking forward to seeing Bran then. I've just picked up the FW limited edition Skin Wolf off fleabay to try and turn into Redmaw as I believe they've scrapped plans to release him :( Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/273872-the-wolves-of-omnetl-ii-challenge/#findComment-3346295 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimtooth Posted April 9, 2013 Author Share Posted April 9, 2013 They scrapped plans for the model that looked like he belonged on the cover of a dimestore romance novel. Hopefully they will release him again with a much better model. The Skin Wolves are probably the absolute best model for representing the Redmaw. When I make the plunge to model Bran, I am almost 100% on choosing that model unless something amazing comes out before I make my purchase.

skeletoro Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Yeah, that's the model I'm set on too. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/273872-the-wolves-of-omnetl-ii-challenge/#findComment-3346568 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimtooth Posted April 10, 2013 Author Share Posted April 10, 2013 Yeah, that's the model I'm set on too. Well with the FAQ changing Redmaw to a MC when he transforms, it is really the only model that fits the bill. If that change hadn't been made, you could have done an easy conversion with Beastman parts and some modified armor. With MC becoming the unit type, any thoughts of armor remaining is gone and he moves away from our normal idea of what Wulfen look like from the 13th Co metal models.

Durfast Spiritwolf Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 ... and turn the Empire body in his claws into a chaos cultist. I also like the EoT Wulfen models and I think they work for the packs described in Wolf's Honour and Prospero Burns, but the one described in the audio book Thunder from Fenris was bigger. So there seems to be some room for variation. I'm hoping, of course, for FW to do some for HH era VI Legion. They've said they'll do the Russ, and the Wulfen are a signature unit for the VI Legion...

Grimtooth Posted April 11, 2013 Author Share Posted April 11, 2013 Another night of watching 13th Warrior, listening to Bloodspire/Deathwolf, and building. I did another WGPL; http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s89/Grimtooth_photos/2013-04-11_00-17-32_946_zpse7a57cee.jpg Drilled and set a couple of magnets in my venerable so his upper does not need to be glued down; http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s89/Grimtooth_photos/2013-04-11_00-20-39_594_zps4a5658a7.jpg Was very happy to get a couple of wolf standards and power axes delivered today; http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s89/Grimtooth_photos/2013-04-11_00-21-34_999-1_zps55d5e25d.jpg Assembled another 20 GH torsos/legs (30 total now) ready for mold line removal and arm placement, http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s89/Grimtooth_photos/2013-04-11_00-23-04_27_zpsb976d526.jpg I had to breakdown and mount all the models I am working on GW black bases for now. Just too much a pain with them fumbling around. Small drop of glue under one foot only will let me just pop them off with my blade and mount them on my resin bases when they come in (hopefully tomorrow). Time for bed.

Grimtooth Posted April 11, 2013 Author Share Posted April 11, 2013 I still have Thunder from Fenris to play through a couple of time as well while building. If I get my resin in today, I can get them washed and everything mounted up tonight before I go out of country for about a week.

Grimtooth Posted April 11, 2013 Author Share Posted April 11, 2013 Just got home and they have arrived. I got my BJJ class tonight and then coming up to wash and mount up some models on bases and maybe even get some arms mounted! http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s89/Grimtooth_photos/2013-04-11_15-14-52_960_zps259f224b.jpg I am always happy with this company, Secret Weapon Miniatures. Google them and check out what they have to offer and pretty decent prices.

Grimtooth Posted April 12, 2013 Author Share Posted April 12, 2013 I didn't get as much done last night as I wanted due to getting home late from class and having to get ready to travel out of country today. Secret Weapon Ruined Temple bases on what I will be working on until I pick up a box of Devastators; http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s89/Grimtooth_photos/2013-04-12_11-22-14_765_zpsb43408ab.jpg Had to prime the rune priest and WGTDA bases as they already painted/basecoated. I still have one GH pack to get on bases, one Long Fang Pack to assembly/base, and a couple more WG to base. Then I can get into finishing arms and weapons. Gotta really push myself to take my time, so no models are going with me out of town.

skeletoro Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 What loadouts are you going for, or are you magnetizing? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/273872-the-wolves-of-omnetl-ii-challenge/#findComment-3348590 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimtooth Posted April 13, 2013 Author Share Posted April 13, 2013 The first couple WGPL will have WC/BP. The next two might be WC/PF or magnetized for such. The last will be WGTDA with CML and power sword/storm bolter to go with Long Fangs. GH will have dual plasmas, wolf standards, MoW, and power axe. Third group under construction right now will have the same except dual flamers.
